ON GUARD AGAINST
A RETURN OF THE
DREADED INFLUENZA
State Board of Health Prepared to
Fight Epidemic
CAN MEET ANY EMERGENCY
Strongest Working Organization of
Kind Ever Assembled Can be
Thrown Into the Field Where
Needed - Upon Twenty Four
Hours Notice.

Jacksonville, Oct. s. Should in
fiuenza return this year, as many au-
| thorities believe it will, the State
Board of Health will be prepared to
fight another epidemic with what is
probably the strongest working or
ganization of it's kind ever assembled.
The machinery as built up by DR..
Ralph N. Greene, state health officer,
in cooperation with the American
Public Health Association, can be
thrown into the field upon twenty
four hours notice and is of such pro-
portions that it can battle with the
disease from every angle This
means that the State Board of Health
is not only prepared to fight infiu-
enza should it assume the character
of an epidemic but has made avail
able every method of safeguarding
a community from the disease and of
curbing it wherever it makes it's ap-
pearance.
The working program as mapped
out by DR.. Greene embodies on
widely comprehensive scale the meth
DDS found most successful by inter-
nationally famous authorities in
fighting influenza last year. An i'm
portant part of the machinery is the
listing and distribution of resources,
including physicians, nurses, social
workers, nurses aid, clerks, domes-
tics, laundresses, automobiles chauf-
feurs, mask makers and relief organ
izations.
Through the United States Public
Health Service arrangements have
been made for the services of 100 of
the states leading physicians who
will receive compensation from the
Public Health Service but will work
under direction of DR.. Greene. The
State Board of Health force of DIS
trict health officers will be ready for
any emergency.
Full information regarding hospit-
al facilities will be obtained and put
on file in the central office and a can
vass of ambulance facilities in each
district will be made.
Should an epidemic appear immin-
ent Dr.. Greene will set in motion ma
chinery that will keep a close check
on the spread in every community in
the state, and throw the fighting
forces of the State Board of Health
in any locality where needed.

1t Is estimated that it takes FIVE
pounds of peanuts to make a pound
of pork. Peanuts make soft pork
Peanut meal, it is said is equal to
corn to make hard pork. A ton of
peanuts will make about 1900
pounds of meal, and by its use the
soft pork difficulty can be overcome
and price equal to corn fed hogs
can be had. The plan is worth con-
sidering.

ranging from 43 cents to 4S cents an

This process of settlement is SO in
finitely better than that of striking
that it would seem incredible that any
other mode of adjustment should ever
be undertaken. Both sides have saved
money. The decision is more depend
ably equitable than can ever be had
through the drastic means Of strike or
lockout. The public has not been in
convenienced or endangered during
the consideration of the case. The ear
service has been maintained, order has
been preserved and the operatives have
had full employment, with no loss or
distress to their families.
1t is to be hoped that there will
never again be street car strike in
this city, that all of the disputes and
issues arising between the operatives
and the companies will be settled di-
rectly by immediate dealings, if pos
sible, and by adjudication by an i'm
partial board of arbitration otherwise.
A street car strike always entails loss,
suffering and danger. An award such
as that just rendered makes for the
benef: of all parties. including es-
pecialy the people who use the car
lines and from whom comes the money
to maintain them.

Utopia and Bolshevism.

Effort is frequently made to link
bolshevism with Utopia" The realm
of perfect government which Sir
Thomas More sought to rear in i'm
agination represents the workings of q
mind concerned with upbnilding and
not with promiscuous destruction. His
scheme was quantity practical in many
details. He commends chicken farm
ing on large scale, and foretells the
incubator as he advises the use Of .
gentle artificial heat for Matching. He
does not prophesy 50 well in prescrib-
ing beverages. His Utopians drink
vine, cider, pear Juice and Sometimes
water. favored with liquorice or
honey" liquids whose mndness would
never .slake the fiery thirst of boil
.shevik. If the reds must seek poeticaI
association, they might go back to old
Omar Khayyam, who, after nu-
merous quatrains of daAiance with the
grape, yearns to grasp the scheme Of
things entire, shatter it to bits, and
then remold it according to his per-
sonal inclinations.
