sporadic cases of these ailments and
in their management its authority is
superior to that of city or county
boards or of local physicians.
| In the occurrence of any other dis
eases, whether in epidemic prevalence
or in individual cases, its duty is en-
ltirely advisory and it may assume SUI
preme authority only when the stu
alton has gone beyond the control Of
local health authorities.
The question has been revived by
the present menace of infantile pa
ralysis against which the most careful
supervision on travel has been es-
tablished by the State Health author
tiles at every point and port Of entry
from northern infected districts. Many
inquiries from many parts of the state
have come to the State Health Off
GERS, asking for instructions for &C.
ton in the possible emergency of the
appearance of the disease in a Flor.
ida city or town. And under the ex-
listing law of the state, the health Of
ficer is limited only to giving advice
for certain communicable diseases.
The responsibility for action, prompt
and correct, rests, and must rest,
upon local health authorities and ply
sicians.
The record of the State Board for
almost twenty-eight years-since it
was established in 1SS9-has proved
its willingness, its desire, to act and
advise for the good of all Floridians
and even to stretch the rigid interpre-
tation of law where it may seem to be
for the general welfare, but it has
always avoided any overstepping the
bounds of its legal jurisdiction or an
interference with the authority of city
health boards. Excepting in the
three diseases already named, its
functions are entirely advisory and
educational
Whether this limitation of its duties
is wise or conduces to it's widest use
fulness, is matter more or less spec
ulative. Any enlargement of its func
tions, by giving it original jurisdic
ton and authority in the occurrence
of other diseases, can be accom-
plished only by a change of the law
of the state, and such change may
be made by the wish or the demand
of the people of Florida.

rasion of Florida by infantile paral
vsis is being made by the local health

Jacksonville, August 9.-The plan
to advertise Florida to the Northern
and Eastern people as desirable
summer resort section is given the
stamp of approval by X. X. KEENAN,
of Milwaukee, who yesterday out
lined several points which he believed
should be emphasized in the advertis-
ing to correct erroneous impressions.
Mr.. KEENAN, is here for several
weeks on legal business and is stop
ping at the Hotel Seminole. He de-
clared that he considers himself for
tunate to escape the terrible heat
wave, which made itself felt in the
North and middle states during the
last two weeks.
81 am charmed with Jacksonville
its climate, location, streets, parks,
buildings and especially its people"
he said. "You certainly have all the
essentials for a great city.
81 understand that acampaign OF
publicity is soon to be inaugurated
and, as | am somewhat familiar with
the Northern point of view, ven
ture to suggest that some attention
be given to combating three grevious
errors into which Northern people
have fallen.
"In the first place, it would be
surprise to many Northern people, as
it was to me, to know that the sum-
mer climate of Florida is much more
agreeable and moderate than that of
most of the Northern and middle
states. The mistaken idea that be-
cause Florida is the most southerly
state of the Union it must therefore
be the hottest is one which has TAX
en- deep root in the Northern mind.
another bugbear, which is more
imaginary than real, is malaria.
There are undoubtedly some places
in Florida, as also in Ohio and Penn
sylvania, where malaria can be found
but it is not prevalent in any such
degree as orthern people are prone
to think. The report Of the state
board of health which has just ap
peared shows that of a thousand
deaths reported in the registration
cities of Florida only Sc among
whites and 1874 among colored peo
pie could be attributed to malaria.
"A third erroneous impressions Of
Florida which is entertained by
many Northern people is the idea that
there is something peculiarly ener
waiting and facilitating about the
Florida climate. The grain of truth
which forms basis for this impress
sion is found in the lessened power
of resistance which follows a lone
residence in a warm climate. 1t is
probably true that the sudden and
severe climate changes in the NORTH

WHO is RESPONSIBLE?

Who is responsible authority in
health matters in Florida? The func'
tionaI relations of the State Board OF
Health and of other health authori'
ties are clearly defined on the statute
books, but, like the Ten Command
ments, these matters get mixed with
out an occasional refreshing of mem
ory.
The law that established the State
Board of Health and defined its du
ties, gave it original jurisdiction any
where in the State over three dis
yellow fever and
Ismallpox. Under this law it has the
right-it is it's duty-to assume con
troll in the event of an epidemic or Of

menace, and although summer travel
from New York by rail and water di-
rect into Florida, probably has never
been greater than during the present
season, not single case of the in
lection, so far as is known at the
present writing, has passed within
the bounds of the state from the in
fected areas to the north of us.
If the season shall pass without
such invasion, it will be tribute to
the faithful watchfulness, the untir-
ing efticiencyand the skill of the local
boards of health, and of the ply
sicians and nurses on within the actual
responsibility rests.

Field Hospital Complete
Four trained nurses, male, from
the State Hospital for the Insane, at
Chattahoochee, today Joined the
field hospital. DR.. Ralph Green,
former chief surgeon at Chattahoo-
chez, recently joined the hospital
staff, being commissioned as lieuten-
ant. The arrival of the nurses
completed the roster of the hospital
contingent, which is encamped on
the camp site of the First Regiment,

declare, for the hospital to shortly

That the Second Regiment will
soon start for the border is indicat-
ed by the fact that the other two
regiments composing the brigade OF

regiment has been waiting arrived

TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY
OF MRS. JOHN S. JONES
Is Paid Good Woman Who Recently
Departed This Life.


The uuiet gentle spirit of Mrs. j..
s. Jones fed from its earthly abode
on Jan. IA. 1916. While the time OF
her departure was not wholly uneX-
pected, yet it came all too soon.
Early in life Mrs. Jones gave her
life to Christ and united with Sardls
Baptist church, and was ever ready
TO lend a. helping hand to the Mas
ter's cause: always at her place IN
the house of worship until her health
became so poor She was a great SUI
ferer. but never murmured; always
with a gentle smile she would say
81 am about the same. Her lie
was so full of untold sweetness, un-
selfish devotion and willingness to 40
something for others. Truly, She
lived for Others, not self. We can but
wonder why this valuable life should
have been taken while others are al
lowed to remain; but we must re-
member that God knows best.
Rev. NJ. B. L. Binion conducted the
funeral services in the presence OF
large concourse of sOrroW1ng rela-
tives and friends.
Mrs. Jones was ever a devoted VINE,
a kind and affectionate mother and
true friend. Besides her husband she
leaves six children, two brothers and
three sisters and a host of relatives
and friends to mourn her death.
Gone. but not forgotten; dead, but
not forever. So may we be submits
sive to His will who dOesth all things
well. for we know our loss is heav-
ems gain.
God calls our loved ones, but We lose
not wholly what He hath given; !
They live on earth in thought and
deed as truly as in His heaven.
