physicians of the State are co
operating actively with the State
Board Of Health, and when the I'M
portance of the work and the
watehfulness that is required, are
considered, it ism t fair to increase
the amount of this work by cireu-
lating reports of the existence
of the disease when and where it
doesn't exist.
lnfantile paralysis is not easily
diagnosable, even by the medical
profession, in its early stages, and
the average layman wouldn t
know it until it had reached a pos
sibly incurable stage and prob
ably not even then. The circula-
tion of rumors naturally alarms
the public, for the public doesn 7
stop to ask where the rumor start
ed nor who started it In its love
for the sensational, with its fond
ness for being the first to tell "thc
news" good or bad, the public
passes it along and it grows like
the traditional SNOWFALL, quickly
overshadowing all chances of rec
ognition.
Now, Stop-Look Listen!
If some one tells you confden-
TALLY, or otherwise, that a case OF
the disease has overtaken one OF
Mrs. Bill Smiths children, ask
your informant who told her (or
him) and who told that one, and
so on as far back as you can trace
the story. Then stop the rumor
as far as you are concerned.
Don't tell any one, excepting the
nearest health officer. Tell him
as soon as you can reach the near
est telephone; tell him all you
have found out and the entire ge-
neology of the rumor, and then,
initiate the clam-don t talk. 1t Is
the quickest way to stop gossip
and to aid the health authorities.
Away back in 1889, an unusual
ly wise legislature was convinced
of the unwisdom of gossip, espec-
tally about disease, and it put'into
law books of Florida, Section So
21,which reads this way Whoev-
er falsely or maliciously dissent
mates or spreads rumors or reports
concerning the existence of any
infectious or contagious disease,
shall be punished by imprison-
ment not exceeding six months,
or by fine not exceeding one thous-
and dollars. (" This law WASH t
intended as a Joke and it ism t cnc,
for there have been convictions
and stiff penalties imposed under
it.
The preservation Of the good
name of Florida demands the sup
port of all loyal citizens, No one
who gossips, however self-con-
scious of his own innocence, to the
detriment of that name, is loyal
citizen. Let the doctors tell it,
should such disaster visit us.
They will know and you won 7 un-
til they tell you.-State Board of
Health.

Mangoes Bring Good Price

A net profit of 500 has been re.
ceived by Fl. Seeman. in charge Of
the Edison estate in this city, for
a shipment Of twenty-three crates
OF mangoes grown on the Edison
property and forwarded recently
to the Chicago market. where the
fruit was sold through the agency
Storch Bros. & Co. The mangoes
were shipped more or less as an
experiment, the fruit being little
known throughout the north and
only on rare occasions appearing
on the market in that section.
Considering the fact that only the
most common varieties composed
the shipment, the price received
is considered highly gratifying,
and it is expected that further
shipments will be made. Several
varieties grown successfully n
Lee county, among them the Al
phonso Bennett, bring from 20
to 25 cents each in Fort Myers,
and it is expected that a demand
for this fruit could be established
that would result in most profit
able net returns. The possibilities
of the industry are attracting the |
attention of local shippers and it
is believed that next winter sever
al carloads of mangoes will be for
warded under ice to various
northern points Fort Myers

well-being Of adults and children,

Tins, demand that the air-gun

1t is now calculated that upon
an average this country now los
es 60,000,000 year through the
ravages of insects among the
farmer and gardeners crops.
Thiss loss is constantly in
creasing, for the balance of ma
ture is being upset by the constant
decrease in the number of insect
iverous birds. Some have pre-
dicted that the time will arrive
when it will have become impos-
sible to raise any crops in this
country through the loss of small
birds and the consequent rapid in
crease in the number of the insect
pests.-F'lorida Times Union.

The Tampa Tribune says that
the Florida republicans have only
about $4,000 votes,so if there are
two democratic tickets, one head
ed by Knott and one by Cats,
there will be enough votes for
either to outrun the republican
ticket. The Tribune may be sure
there won't be two democratic
tickets. Mr.. Knott ism going to
run unless he secures the nomi-
nation. and we doubt that Cats
will. In event he does, however,
he will run as Independent, in
which case he will receive about
one vote in three. If Cats is
declared the nominee, a number
of democrats are going to vote for
Allen. We do not know how
many, but we do not think there
will be enough to change the re-
suit. The republicans, however,
have q large number of voters
who have not registered, and if
they should pay their poll taxes
and register, they would make an
element to be reckoned with.-O-
