Anent Gilbreath's Visit

Mr.. Gilbreath stated that he
lost several hundred dollars in
visiting Lee county, due to miss
ing an engagement elsewhere, but
he had never sacrificed that a.
mount more willingly, as he felt
amply repaid for the trip to this
section. He had been under the

little more than a wilderness of
swamps and sand hills, with here
and there a few log cabins, but
the tropical beauty Of this locali-
ty, the fine residences and bust
ness blocks; the roads now COM

DR. assured, had been one of the
greatest surprises of his entire
rip.
Mr.. Gilbreath stated that he
hoped to return at an early date
TO Fort Myers, to further investi-
gate Lee county's attractions, and
that he should make every effort
to have the Fort Myers-Marco-
Miami road officially recognized

been believed by those familiar
with certain fine bIueberry
growths near Acline that the nat

and apparently in accord With the
latest theories on blueberry cul-

desirable opening for this section.

derstand that their comment up

new victims. II such germ trans
ference could be prevented, even
lessened, the proportion of one
tubercular patient to every seven
of the population of the United
States would be vastly changed.
1t is matter of infinite precau-
ton and Watchfulness, but it is
possible.
The same is true of typhoid
fever and the entire feasibility of
reducing the prevalence of the
disease has been demonstrated in
the United States Army; also i'll
the city of Jacksonville, where
screening of earth closets brought
the number of deaths from 62 in
1910, to IA in 1915, of which six
cases originated outside the city.
But in disease of less fatal per-
centages, there is the same danger
of communication if no one had a
cold, no one else could have
cold. We do not "catch cold"
from drafts or wet feet, but be-
cause we get the germ of a cold
from some one who already har-
bors it in his system. It's hard
to upset such cherished tradi-
tons, but this is one that should
be banished from our minds.
The germs of colds, bronchitis
and other affections of the nue.
GUS membranes of the throat, are
expelled by sneezing, coughing,
even by emphasized talking. Of
course these germs don't retain
their power for harm in the open
air longer than a few seconds but
when person is within two or
three feet of such explosion the
probable result is another victim
with a hard cold. In the crowd
ed church or theatre or street car,
where people are necessarily
gathered in close proximity, the
individual who fails to smother
his cough or sneeze in a handker-
chief is guilty of an improperly
not sanctioned in good society
but more than that, he is guilty !
of a moral Offense against his |
neighbors who just simply can't
help themselves.
This idea of mutual RESPONSE
bility, especially in health mat
ters, is absolutely unacceptable.
It's as fixed as the fact that death
is the fate or the reward of every
human being. Not until the fact
is universally accepted and incor-
porated into the actuating princi-
pies of every life and of all living
will society be safe from itself
and from every Individual who
forms a part.-State Board of
