HEAL TIL AND EFFICIENCY
By HERBERT L. WRIGHT, M D.

living conditions and it is just with US
as to whether we take advantage of
these things and make the most of them
or not.
With the completion of the isolation
hospital we will be in position to
handle cases of contagion with much
less inconvenience to families and with
out such great loss of time which is
very important to wage earners and
school children.
The question is often asked why does
not quarantine stop contagionP If it
would do so there would be none at
least in the cities as they all use this
rethod of control and it is only a
method of control and does control but
it is not a specific, and when we get
our new isolation hospital we viii still
have contagion as it will not prove to
be a specific but only an additional
means of control and without the apph-
cation of these methods of control we
would simply have many more cases of
contagion when it was once started.
Quarantine has proven to be very sue
cessful in Kenosha during the past year
and with the exception of the outbreak
on North Fremont and Victoria when it
required the vigorous assistance of the
police force, there has been no spread
from case after it was placed under
quarantine so far as we have any direct
knowledge and this is all that is or can
be expected of quarantine.
People who are in quarantine must
not send anything out of the house
until the house has been fumigated and
signs removed by the health depart
ment, this means no money or other
article is to go out, and no rugs, car
pets, etc, to be taken out, swept or
shaken, no cats or dogs permitted to
run in and out. Articles of clothing
must be boiled before they may be
sent out to be laundered.
When a house is in quarantine no one
may enter for any purpose except the
doctor and nurse-unlesS they stay In
the house until the quarantine is lifted.
It is the duty of -every citizen to no
tify the department of health at an and
all times if they see anyone violating
quarantine laws or if they think they
are doing so; their names will not be
divulged but the name should always
be given so the department may make
further inquiry if necessary.
In case of death, the funeral services
are to be absolutely private. The main
object in establishing quarantine is
to project others, therefore let others
assist in every way possible to make it
effective.

QUARANTINE REGULATIONS.

Some people still ask why is a quar-
Hant1ne and what is it? To some it is
apparently a very good thing for their
neighbors and thing they should ex-
pect and respect when they have con-
tagion in their homes, but on the other
hand bad thing and oen not at all
necessary at their house though it be
full of the same kind of contagion the
neighbors had, and Notwithstanding the
fact that the law is very plain on the
subject and does not provide for spec
ial privileges for any one, but applies
to all alike.
There are those who seem to feel
that quarantine regulation is some
thing fixed up by the local health
worker for pure meanness and gotten
up to boost his or her own popularity
or social ambition, at least one might
be led to believe some people see it in
about that light from what they say,
when this awful quarantine shoe is be-
ing pushed on to their own foot.
Again there are those who seem to
have forgotten (if they ever knew
anything about any golden rule) and
they appear to be willing to make life
as burdensome as possible to friend
neighbor while he is in quarantine, and
it seems to them that tie laws should
be much more rigid and not allow such
people to do so and so, when as mat
ter of fact they have imagined about
half they saw and were almost entirely
mistaken about the other half.
Do not misunderstood us in this mat
ter, for we fully appreciate the splendid
cooperation of the people who so many
times have given us such valuable infor-
nation in regard to lax quarantine and
as to the presence of cases of contagion
which we might otherwise have known
nothing of at all or at least in time to
have prevented its spread. We are
glad to be able to state that this kind
of help has increased wonderfully dur

At any rate the recent actions of
the Supreme Court has drilled it into
the "Model License League that pro-
hibition can prohibit and this is worth
something. The league is now badly
frightened over the possibility of the
adoption of the amendment by the

wiki and Irish for Big
Uprising.
RUSS BRING GUNS TO U. S.
Evidence Uncovered by Federal Agents
Indicating RevoIutioniats Plan to
Overthrow Existing Social
Orders of World.

Washington, Dec. 26.-Evidence has
been uncovered by government agents
indicating that American Industrial
Workers of the World, Russian boil
sheviki, Irish agitators and revolution
lists in various countries at war with
Germany may be seeking to lay the
foundation of an elaborate worldwide
plan to overthrow existing social or
ders.
This was admitted by officials here
in connection with news of the discov-
cry of quantity Of rifles, revolvers
and ammunition in the Russian freight
er Shilka, which has just arrived at a
Pacific port manned by mutinous boil
sheviki crew.
Government agents suspect that the
guns and munitions were intended for
the Industrial Workers of the World
in this country, although it was said
a full report on the mysterious cargo
has not yet been forwarded by OFF,
Gals at the port Of arrival.
Other Evidence Seen.
The Shilka incident is only one of
many cases leading officials to believe
the connection between plotters in sew
eral of the allied countries may be
more tangible than the indefinite link
OF moral sympathy.
Certain Irish agitators and I. w. w
leaders recently have gone from the
United States to Russia, after being
in close touch with each other here
and reports have been received that
bo1sheviki organizers would come to
America before long to spread their
