Rivals Originate Reports

Several days ago, representatives

Northern cities reported that ru-
mors were in circulation to the eff
feet that the health officials of
Florida were considering. quaran-
tine against other States on account
Of the influenza epidemic so gener-

difficult matter to trace the source
of these rumors, it is not beyond
the belief that they were originated
by rival resort sections which have
been disturbed by the degree to
which tourist travel is coming to
Florida this winter.
AS soon as the matter was called
to the attention of State Health Of
ficer Porter he Indignantly denied
any thought Of such quarantine,
and this information was promptly
passed on the Thomas Advertising
Service to the Northern papers
which are carrying the Florida
First advertising. Most of these
have carried special stories, EN-.
phasizing the fact that influenza
, victims will not be interfered with
/ in their search, for recovery in thu
balmy sunshine of Florida. The New
York Herald Is one of the Influential
papers to carry an article favorabl,
