THE FIGHT AGAINST
RABIES.
+ + j. j. + + + + i. {. i. + j. j. !. j. :

The rules promulgated by the State
Board of Health for the protection
of public health, have the force of en-,
acted law in Florida, under the au-
thority granted by the legislature.
The recent rather wide prevalence
Of rabies in different parts of the
commonwealth has made necessary
an addition to Rule %, which as
amended provides more completely
against the spread of the dreaded di-
EseaSe.
Rule 28, adopted some years since,
is the following:
"MUZZLING. If it shall appear to
the State Health Officer that the life
and health of any settlement, village,
town or city is endangered by the
prevalence of rabies, then the State
Health Officer shall require all dogs
kept in such settlement, village, town
or city to be effectually muzzled and
for such length of time as shall be
necessary and proper. 1t shall be
the duty of the mayor and police au-
thorities of any settlement, village,
town or city, when such an order is
promulgated by the State Health Of
ficer, to enforce it's provisions"
The addition to this rule, adopted
at a meeting of the State Board of
Health at Lakeland Florida on March
23rd, this year, is the following:
"And it shall further be the duty
of the State Health Officer when
information is given him from relia-
Bile source or sources, or by personal
investigation by himself or by any Of
his duly authorized assistants and
agents, that dogs or other animals in
fected with rabies are roaming the
State of Florida at large, to give
information by published notice to
the public of this fact and to call up
on the sheriffs and constables of the
several counties of the State in ac-
cordance with provision Of section
1115 of the General Statutes of the
State of Florida relating to the pre-
vention of hydrophobia, to require all
dogs to be muzzled and in in the alb
, sence of conforming to this regula-
ton the said sheriff and constable Of
the State to destroy any oWnerless.
vagrant or wandering dogs. in order
to prevent the spread of rabies from
the bite of infected dog or other ami
mails from one to the other, or to hu-
man beings"
The effect of this completed rule
is to require the mayors and police
of any and all cities and towns and
all county officials to obey and en-
force the orders of the State Board of
Health issued through the State
Health Officer. relating to the muz-
zling of dogs and other animals like
lv to be infected with rabies. 1t
does not leave the matter of such
enforcement optional with such CITY
end county officers whether or rot
they shall obey. for the order has the
effect of enacted state law, and more

over, it is a reasonable provision for
the protection of public health.
1t appears to be rather difficult
for a considerable proportion of Off
clals charged with the enforcement of
laws in Florida, to comprehend the
fact that laws relating to the pro-
lection of public health are as really
laws as those relating to the prohibi-
tion and punishment of murder and
other capital crimes; and that such
officials, who fail to enforce such
laws for better sanitation and public
health, are quite as culpable as the
prosecutor who should refuse or ne
glect to secure the conviction of a
man charged upon legal evidence with
the killing of fellow man.
Not until public officials in Florida
shall earnestly cooperate with the
State health authorities to secure bet
ter sanitary and health conditions,
will the highest development and
prosperity of the state be secured.
The State papers will confer a fa-
vor if they will call attention to the
amended Rule % of the State Board
of Health cited above.-State Board

What Are Handkerchiefs For?

''Protect the public from disease;
Use your handkerchief when you
SneeZe."
Most people consider cold as a
nuisance, not as a disease. But colds,
influenza and similar affections of the
mucous membrane of the thoat and
nasal passages are diseases, conta-
gious diseases, which are transmit
ted from one person to another by
means of germs, and these are ex-
PEELED from the passages of the head
and throat by sneezing, coughing and
even in talking.
These diseases in themselves are
not necessarily serious, but they usu-
ally make man feel meaner than he
really is; they cripple his highest pro-
ducing capacity, mentally and physi-
cally, and, therefore, they are eXpen-
sive and they are preventable.
Upon these basic facts the asser-
ton is emphatic that no one has the
right to force upon another person
his own private cold, and this is ex-
actly what he does when he coughs
or sneezes in the presence of others
without covering his face-his mouth
and nose-with his handkerchief or a
similar muffler.
He has not the moral right, even if
he lacks the essential good manners
and breeding, to eXpel the germs of
his own cold or influenza or bronchi-
It's into the face of another, or to
fill the atmosphere surrounding them
both with such germs where they can
possibly be inhaled by his neighbors.
To be on the safe side morally no
person suffering from these affec-
tons. should attend church services,
the movies or any othel assemblage
where people necessarily are seated
close together. incidentally, no one
