Feasibility Of Reducing
Prevalence of Disease

The accepted theory of modern medical
science asserts that if tuberculosis, yellow
fever, malaria, smallpox, typhoid fever, and
even colds, bronchitis, and many other dis
eases could once be stamped ont every
where, humanity would be freed from them
for all time, because they are communi-
cable only by the transference OF germs,
and the germ of each disease can carry only
that particular disease and no other. But
so long as these various germs continue to
exist, there is always the danger of their
spread to the new victims.
But, to reach such results, scientists and
sanitists are powerless to do more than to
point the way, to what is not a Utopian
dream. Where proper and intelligently adj
1ninistered precaution is observed, there
follows reducing of the disease, even of
the commoner diseases, absolutely stamp
ing them out within prescribed sections
and territories.
The germ of tuberculosis makes the pa
tient the source of infection, and it is evi-
dent that to reduce the danger of infection,
to prevent the spread of the disease, the
germ must be kept from reaching new vic-a
tins, If such germ transference 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
precaution and watchfulness, but it is pos
sible, declares the health service of the
Florida Board of Health.
The board goes on to point out the fact
that the same thing is true of typhoid, and
that the entire feasibility of reducing the
prevalence of the disease has been demon
strated in the United States army and also
in the city of Jacksonville, where the
screening of earth closets brought the
number of deaths from SO in 1910, to IA
in 1915, of which six cases originated out
side the city of Jacksonville
The idea of mutual responsibility in
health matters is absolutely unacceptable.
Not until this fact is universally accepted
and Incorporated into the actuating prin-
ciples of every life, will society be safe from
itself and from every individual who forms
part of its structure.

Escambia Farmers Should
Diversity Their Feed

Corn alone is an expensive hog feed, and
those farmers who intend to raise hogs
should provide something with which to
supplement it. Experiment stations all over
the country have tested corn alone as hog
feed and have found it expensive John M.
Scott, animal industrialist to the Univer-
sity of Florida experiment station, carried
on thirty-day feeding experiment last
summer, trying corn alone and corn with
various combinations of velvet beans.
The lot of hogs which received equal
parts of corn and cracked velvet beans
made the cheapest gains at 51z cents a
pound. The best gain regardless of cost was
made by those which received three parts
corn to one of cracked velvet beans. These
consumed 4O8 pounds of feed for 100
pounds of gain. The most expensive feed
was corn alone. It took 6541z pounds of
feed to make 100 pounds of gain
Corn does not contain enough protein to
produce cheap pork, and the protein it does
contain is not the right kind for growing
pigs, according to live stock experts. 1t
does not contain sufficient mineral matter
for the body requirements. 1t is excellent
for fattening hogs in the last stages but
even then some protein feed should be
given Farmers should plan some legume,
rape, rye or other pasture which will pro-
vide mineral matter and protein.

OUR SIDE OF IT

We are not ashamed of the uniform
And if you are friend,
You'll never say against it
Amy word that would offend,
1t has covered many honored bodies
And by heroes has been worn,
Since the day of the Republic
When the Stars and Stripes were
worn.
Uniforms have many patterns
Some are Khaki, some are blue,
And the men who chose to wear them
Are of many patterns, too,
Some are sons of wealthy parents
Some are college graduates
Some have many manly virtues
Some are simple reprobates.
We have many skilled mechanics
Men of brains and letters, who,
Loyalty have served the country
That they are credit, too,
No indeed they're not all angels
Black guards? Yes, we've of those,
When they came into the service
They all wore civilian clothes.
Men of all kinds when they are drink
ing
Misbehaye, act rough and swear,
Drunken soldiers or civilians
Are disgusting anywhere,
Grant us then your kind forbearance
Wen appreciate it more,
Than lot of noisy cheering
When we're leaving for war.
We have sat with you in public
And have smelled your whisky
breath,
Heard remarks insane and silly,
Nearly boring us to death,
Though we offered no objections
When in theaters we met,
Yet you should not exclude US
From that most exclusive set.
If you met us in the public
On the street or anywhere,
We don't merit sneering glances
Or patronizing stare,
For we have an honored calling
AS our garments plainly show,
You may be a thief or parson
How on earth are we to knowl
don't care for your profession,
Occupation or what you do,
When you're gazing at the soldier
And he is looking back at you,
Who is there to Judge between you
AS you stand there man to man?
Only one, The Great Almighty,
Name another if you can.
Drop your proud and naughty bearins
And your egotistic pride,
Get acquainted with soldier
And the heart and soul inside,
Test and try to analyze him
Criticise him through and through
And you'll very likely find him
Just as good man as you.

TOP NOTCH FREIGHT
BE PAID To SHIPS
FOR LOCAL LOADING
THE NORWEGIAN BARK MA
DURA, WHICH is HERE, TO BE
PAID ass SHILLINGs TO WEST
COAST BRITAIN.

Possibly the highest freight ever
paid a vessel loading at Pensacola
will go to the Norwegian bark Ma
dura, which is now loading at Pensa-
cola for the west coast of Britain. The
charter quotations show that the Ma
dura viii receive 485 shillings for
lumber and timber from Pensacola to
Great Britain, and shipping men
stated without hesitation yesterday
that this is the highest, and would be
the top-notch freights to be paid on
lumber cargoes from the gulf for
many months.
The Norwegian bark Australia,
which sailed February "a from Havre
for Pensacola, is also chartered to
load for the west coast of Britain
for the same rate, or at 485 shillings
per standard, which means that lum-
Der shipped from here is costing the
importer the sum Of $24.25 per thou
sand for the freights alone. This
would figure; it was stated yesterday,
a total or final cost of about $50 per
thousand feet at the port Of destina-
ton. At this charge for freights, ii
was further asserted, a ship may al
most collect her full valuation on one
cargo of 500 standards.

Highway Expert Rendering Valuable
Service to Escambia County I

Nj. B. III. Burrell, government highway
engineer, has rendered Escanbia county
very valuable service in that he has given
the people of this section definite and con-
crete plan for permanent road system
that will meet the present and future needs
of the county. Mr.. Burrell has made careful
and exhaustive study of conditions as they
exist in Escambia county and his recon-
menoations when submitted will be based
upon actual facts rather than upon theory
or the demands of any special interests, his
report being founded upon his practical e71-
perience as road builder, and not inffu-
enced by the advocates of any special route
or plan.
Mr.. Burre11 has chosen Nunez Ferry as
the terminal of the east and west road,
rather than Lillian, though there is strong
sentiment in favor of the Lillian highway
in some quarters Mr. Burrell bases his
choice upon the fact that the Nunez road
can be built at a cost of approximately
$50, 900 and a bridge erected at that point
at cost not to exceed $4,000, making a
total for the Nunez road and bridge of not
to exceed $175, 600
The cost of the Lillian road and bridge,
according to Mr. Burrel1's rough estimate
would approximate $293,000, making the
approximate cost of Nunez road and bridge
about $4,000 less than the Lillian road
and bridge.
Mr.. BurreIps aim is to prepare a plan
which will give to Escambia county one
hundred miles of permanent hard surface
road, with the necessary bridges, for ST.
100000 He says this is a big order but not
impossible of accomplishment.
Mr.. Burrell's estimates are approx
mated but are based upon actual construc-
ton cost under similar conditions and may
be accepted as reasonably accurate. Mr..
Burre1l has not completed his survey and
will not formulate his recommendations to
the county commissioners until he has
thoroughly investigated the claims and
needs of every section of the county. When
his report is finally submitted it will give
| the public definite information which will
permit each voter to determine for himself
the advisabi1ity of one million dollar bond
issue for a good road system for Escanbia
county.
/ Whether or not the bond issue is APP
proved, the information that Mr. Burrell
is furnishing will most certainly result in
better roads for Escambia county, because
he is giving the average citizen knowl-
edge of that which concerns good road con
struction and maintenance, which must
inevitably rebound to the benefit of this
section.

AUSTRIANS BEATEN
AFTER HARD FIGHT
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, March 22.-Austrian forces
operating northwest of Uscieszke, on
the Dniester river, near the Bukowina
border, were forced by the pressure of
the Russians to evacuate the bridge
head Notifications and to abandon
their transports. Under cover Of
night they succeeded in reaching the
Austrian advance posts northwest Of
Zale Szczyky, north Of Czernowitz, ac-
cording to the Austrian statement IS
sued today.
The official statement pays a trib-
ute of admiration to the bravery Of
the Austrian troops, who gave way
only on account of the superior
strength of the Russian attacking
forces. It adds that the only means
left to the Austrians to avoid capture
was to break through the Russian
positions at Uscieczko, and this they
did with complete success.

Roads Sound Investment From
Business and Economic Standpoint

OF the various methods of financing road
projects the one most generally practiced
for raising substantial fund which will
be available for immediate expenditure is
through the issuance of bonds Experience,
say the specialists of the agricultural de-
partment, has shown roads to be a sound
investment, both from business and eco
nomic standpoint. If properly proportioned
and managed bond issues are made for
their improvement, the roads themselves
will pay off the indebtedness thus created
through the utility which they afford and
the saving which will result in the cost of
hauling.
Instances are not lacking where bond
issues for highway purposes have proved
failures. These failures are due to misman-
agement rather than to defective principle.
Where counties have issued highway
bonds the proceeds of which have been
spent to construct temporary road surfaces
on un1mproved grades and without proper
drainage, failure has necessarily resulted
There are on record with the department
OF agriculture instances showing where
roads have been built with bond money by
simply dumping broken stone at the wrong
time of the year on muddy surfaces with
out grades or algnments and without roll
ing or binding. Investment of money in
new roads does not become real economy
until provision is made for keeping these
roads in condition by maintenance and re
pair after they are built.
