WANTS A FLU QUARANTINE

The following article was taken
from the Courier News and was. sent
to US by a subscriber who wishes to
see it run in The Courant. The article
was written by q man at Dickinson,
N. D..
Are we over-populatedg If we are
swouldnt it be. better to ask the adj
vice Of Mr.. Burtness in regard to
books dealing with the subject of
b~irth-control, etc, instead Of permit
ting This daily killing off Of our pop
ulation by disease, a disease that
could be but is not prevented.
Has it come. to such q state Of af-
fairs, that the American Medical as
.sociation, together with the so-called
boards Of health, have all the say as
to how many shall or shall not die
before they will take any action in
the prevention Of the spread Of this
awful plague that is sweeping the
whole Of the land, leaving death and
sorrow in its path wherever it goes?.
When the backlog breaks out
among cattle, glanders among horses
OF cholera among swine everything
that can be done is done, and as q rule
II is stamped out IN q very short time.
asswas done with the hoof and mouth
disease about six wears ago. BY q
strict quarantine and disinfecting Of
al stock-yards and cars, It was
stamped entirely ont of the country.

and not do like some editors are doing
keeping the truth about it hid as
much as possible so as not to alarm
people, l say, give US all you know
about it, know thy enemy. Then you
know best how to fight him.
If all u newspapers worked in
harmony for one week to establish
a nation wide quarantine this plague
would be gone in three weeks with
a saving of perhaps $4,000 lives.
Would it be worth while? I for one,
think SO.
Well l know you are short Of paper
as we'll as space and l will call this
finished.

Why is it, that when this plague
breaks out in a locality, the said "A.
N. A. and board Of health don't close
all schools, theatres, churches, meet
ings, dances in fact everything that
isn't an agency necessary to maintain
life? Then besides quarantine every
private house wherever the disease is
reported or found. Also appoint a
committee to see that is is carried out
to the letter. That way and that way
only, can it be stamped out and in a
few weeks time. III
have heard fools Directing to this
plan for various reasons, such as
that they couldn't think Of their chill
dren missing a few weeks Of school.
Me-thinks that it would be better for
che children las we'll as ~parents) to
miss school, say for a year or years,
Than to be out in the cemetery, where
a couple of millions went last year,
where their schooling is over for ever.
To my way Of thinking, the greatest
OF all earthly service a person could
render humanity is to save a life, and
t by closing our institutions and
quarantining for say one month, we
could save just one life, would not
that pay? l think So, one life is
the amusement of thousands, forbid
den for a month.
1t one could but see the millions of
homes, left in sorrow and grief by
this pestilence last year, hundreds of
thousands of orphans, hardly a family
in the land, that did not lose one of
their own or a..friend, and then to
think there is nothing done to stop
it-yet I say absolutely nothing, be-
cause what has been done amounts to
just nothing! ~
Some skeptics might say it can't
be stamped out that way. I don't
think SO. When I say it can I know
that it. can be stopped that way, and
that way only. H.,
/ spent three years in China, and
have seen the Asiatic Cholera and
it checked and held by quarantine, in
such thickly populated centers as
Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Canton
and they have not sanitary sewers,
etc. that we have. Nevertheless they |
would stop it by quarantine, and I
can but say if they had let it run
rampant, like we do this, South China
would be depopulated in a few
months. ..,s...
I also spent some time in Rio de-
Janerio, Brazil, about 20 years ago
when the yellow fever was going
strong, and can but say if they had
used the system we use fighting this
pneumonia-p1ague (as it should be
called4 there would be on one left inI
Rio de Janerio to tell the tale.
Now shouldn't we try to stop this ?
Every one we can stop from getting
it may mean 10000 less cases in the
end. Or has it come to pass that hui
man life counts for naught?
Now I am not kicking about anyone
in particular, board of. health or med
ical fraternity, as one part of the
country seems as bad as the rest in
those respects, and nothing can be
done unless they all work together to
that one end-the quarantine-and
| know it can be stamped out entirely.
I wish more people would speak
their mind in the open press and
elsewhere. I would also like to see
some Of our medical profession speak,
their honest opinions on this the
greatest menac this country ever
faced. Anyway let US do something
