MALARIA

One of the most prevalent of all
preventable diseases in the state OF
Florida is malaria. Il is so common
as to be a menace to the general good
health and efficiency of any communi-
ty, especially in the South.
This is the proper time of the year
to get ready to prevent the spread OF
this disease, which is sure to come
with the warm days and nights. The
cause should be removed. There was
time not far distant when the real
cause was unknown and people were
excusable for not preventing it. The

necessary to use mosquito bars, which

not? This is the way they are getting

on this proposed bill some time ago,
ventured the opinion that bill prop
erlv drawn on this question would be
adopted. We are still of the same
opinion. We do not think, however,
that any bill which gives the colored
women the privilege to mingle with

TAKE OATH ON SACRED BOOKS
Practice in Vogue Today Has Come
Down Through Centuries With
Very Few Changes.

The Christian oath on a copy of the
Jewish oath taken holding in the hand
the scrool of the law Cor the phylac-
teries), ceremony itself possibly
adapted from the Roman custom. The
usual mode was TO lay the hand on
the Gospel. and 1t was kept up to a
modern date in the oath of the Uni
versity of oxford. The practice of
kissing the book, which became SO
well established i'm England, appears
in the Middle Ages. The book was
often laid on the altar, or (after the
manner of ancient Rome) the swear
er laid his hand on the altar itself or
looked toward it, above all, it became
customary to touch the relics of saints
on the altar. Other objects, as the
cross. the bishops crOzier ETC., were
sworn by. An oath ratified by con-
tact or inspection of a sacred object
was called corporal or bodily oath,
as distinguished from a merely spo-
ken or written oath. The English
word signifying the sacred object" on
which the oath is taken is ''halidofne. a."
The "halidome" on which Oaths are
sworn in England is a copy OF the
New Testament. Jews are sworn on
the Old Testament; the sacred books
of other religions are used in like
manner, a Mohammedan swearing on
the Koran, Hindu on the Vedas.
