QUESTION DECIDED

Jacksonville, Aug. Although the
highest courts of many states have
upheld the right of public health off,
GERS to quarantine persons infected
with venereal disease, who, in the
opinion of health officers, constitute
menace to the public health, no case
has previously been decided by a
court of final resort as to the right
compulsorily TO examine persons
reasonably suspected" of being af-
fected with venereal disease in the
infectious or contagious stage. This
issue has been decided now, however,
by the Alabama court of appeals in
the case of Bowling VS.. Harden, 50
Southern 217. In this case the de-
PENDANT was arrested for vagrancy
and bound over for trial, being re-
leased by the court on bond In the
meantime, the health officer placed her
in quarantine for being a person
reasonably suspected of having a We
nereal disease in a communicable
stage The defendant suit out writ
of habeas corpus which was granted
by the circuit court. An appeal was
| Immediately taken by the health Off
Ger to the court of appeals, which re-
versed the action of the circuit court,
holding "that persons affected or
reasonably suspected of being affected
with diseases known to be infectious
or contagious may be segregated or
| isolated from the public, and prison
ers under legal charges of crime may
be, when so affected, segregated from
their fellows. When so quarantined,
! they are subject to such reasonable
examination as is necessary to satisfy
the health authorities that their re-
lease will not endanger the public. -
Social Hygiene Bulletin
This ruling has particular inter-
est in that rule of the Florida State
Board of Health founded on similar
law permits the compulsory examina-
ton of persons reasonably suspected
of being carriers of venereal disease.

man who will not take chances some
times and who does not love to brush
elbows with danger is likely to be
lacking in some of the virtues abso-
luteIy needed by the community as
well as himself But it is seldom nee
essary to take women and children
into danger. and it is reprehensible in
the highest degree to do so simply in
order to show off. 1t is probable that
the young man in question is endur-
ing great mental suffering from the
consequences Of his careIessness, and
there is no doubt that the girl who
was the victim would have freely for
given him. But for the sake of the
community, for an example to other
reckless young men, to guard the lives
Of other women and girls, he should
have as heavy punishment as the
law can infict 1t is a good thing,
we think, for our young men to be
brave and skillful enough to drive an
auto to its limit, to ride the storm in
an airplane and do other things where
only a shadow separates them from
death or manning, but they should do
such things alone or in company with
other daring men. To try to keep a
woman in comfort and safety is one of
the first duties of man.

THE DOCTOR"

We clip the following from the
Clearwater Sun. We don't know what
the Sun clipped it from:
Who works from morn to set of sun,
The whole day long is on the run,
And yet whose work is never done
The Doctor.
Who's reused up in the dead of night
By someone IN a dreadful fright,
Who's sure she's going TO die outright,
The Doctor
Who when the days are shocking hot
Can seek no cool, sequestered spot,
Because ne must be on the trot-
The Doctor.
Who when the mercury is low,
Long weary miles must often go,
Thru cutting winds and blindin' snow,
The Doctor.
Who has TO hear the countless ills,
And deal out multitudes of pills
To those who never pay their bills
The Doctor
Who must not show that it's bore,
To hear each family history DER,
Five generations back and more
The Doctor.
All their lives to the cause is lent,
Till their very soul and body is spent,
Few hours with family or social life
The Doctor.
All they possess at times is neglected
To serve the public the yare expected
Regardless how their health's affected,
The Doctor.
The noblest of all our men,
Whose honor we often fail to defend;
Our lives and health on them depend
The Doctor.
Who should be put among the saints,
Whom history with US acquaints,
For patient listening to complaints
The Doctor.
