careless man with big revolver"
Guess you didn't get the meaning
OF that, Van. 1t means that the hab.
1t Of indiscriminate expectoration is
more dangerous to human health and
life than a loaded gun, and Rip, it's
true, if you estimate 1t by the rela-
tive danger to the total number of
victims. You know, or you'll learn
after a while, that cough and spit
ting may accompany a good many
diseases, all the way from tuberculo-
SIS to a cold. If you don't smother
your cough or your splitting or your
sneezlng, you may convey the germ
of whatever trouble you may happen
to have, to some one near you, and
honestly, Van, in the light of modern
ethics you haven't the right to force
any of these things on any one else.
And finally Rip says: "The general
effect of such an exhibit upon impress
sionable minds, especially those of
children, is calculated to be depres-
sing and harmful. All you have to
do is to take James Whitcomb Riley's
little poem and transpose the title in
to The microbes will get you if you
don't watch OUT and you get the idea
we are seeking to convey"
Why bless you, Rip; that's just eX-
actly the idea the train was put on
the rails to carry all over Florida.
Sam Jones, the revivalist, once said:
Its better to scare religion into q
man rather than not get it into him
at ALL"
If the health train was running
around Florida filled up with only
pleasant things it might better not
be running. But it's mission is to
show the people how to avoid disease,
how to be and stay healthful, how to
prevent the disaster and suffering
that come with sickness.
And concluding, the writer-who is
not the State Health Officer, by the
way-has watched this train from the
time when it was only an idea. He
has visited it and studied it careful
ly and he has the opinions of some
of the most eminent medical and
sanitary authorities in this country
it. The expressed belief
Of such men is that in creating and
operating this exhibit, in taking it
into every part of Florida, this state
is leading all the states of the Union,
in its methods of practically educat-
ng the people whom it reaches. 1t
IS not equalled by any similar insti-
tuition on wheels, or off of them, in
