Profiteering That Isn't.
A Hotel Man on the Expenses and
Prices Of Restaurants.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: i have
read over carefully your editorial article
on "Profiteering That Isn't" and l want
to thank you for IT, and also for the
thought that prompted the publishing
Of this article. 1t is really the first
time that | have known a New York
daily newspaper to take up the defence
OF the restaurant and hotel men.
1t Is true that some restaurant prices
seem high. but It Is also true that the
preparation Of food In high class res
taurant is very costly. 1t is only the
restaurants which have a rush business
that are able TO show much profit Res
taurants that enjoy genteel business
where patrons are comfortably taken
care of without being crowded very
rarely make much profit. and those are
the sufferers at this time OF high cost
Of operation. OF course before we had
the prohibition law these restaurants
were able to make very nice profit on
their drinkables. but since that portion
of the business has been done away
with l wonder that so many restaurants
continue to exist
GEORGE w. SWEENEY.
NEW YORK, September 26.
The New York herald., 1921-09-27

the nineteenth century western Eu-
rope was every year fighting against
an invasion Of plague or cholera
which started somewhere in the East
and was marching westward across
southern Russia.
The security which the Western
world feels to-day is in strongly
marked contrast to the fear aroused
by a great epidemic in the Orient
only a few years ago. The plague
in Cairo In 1902 became matter of
grave concern to the world. The out
break of the plague on the banks of
the Volga in 1873 caused a panic
throughout Europe We know from
authentic reports that bubonic
plague and cholera are taking a
heavy toll Of lives in China, India and
other parts of the Orient, and that
dread epidemics are fast following
famine in Russia, yet we feel that
when these terrors start westward
tney will find an almost impossible
barrier at the Polish border on the
north or at the quarantine stations
on the Egyptian coast.
How modern civilization has fought
the spread of epidemics in the last
half century and how 1t has won it's
victories constitute marvellous
story OF mans accomplishments
Medical science" says DR.. Roux,
has made such progress that epi-
denies can be checked and great
cataclysms such as visited Europe
in the Middle Ages can be averted."
The best evidence that this can be
done is the record that medical sci
ence has made.
The New York herald., 1921-09-27
Barriers Against Plaques.

There is a sense of security in the
statement Of DR.. EMILE RoUx, direc-
tor of the Pasteur Institute. Paris.
and member of the French Insti-
tute and Academy of Medicine, that
western Europe and consequently
America are not threatened by the
spread of epidemics in the wake Of
the Russian famine. At the same
time the International Quarantine
Board. which Is responsible for the
health and control Of the Egyptian
ports, assures the West of immunity
from infection by cholera and the
plague from India and the Orient.
In the past 1t was from one or both
of these sources, Russia or the Red
Sea, Egypt and northern Africa, that
the greatest and most devastating
epidemics reached Europe and spread
throughout the Western world.
The dangerous period for infection
and the period most closely watched
at the Egyptian ports Is that follow.
ing the return OF the pilgrims from
| Mecca. The cholera epidemic of 1902
at Cairo. which carried away almost
half OF the population Of the ma.
tive quarter, was directly traceable
| to the contents OF a water bottle
brought by pilgrim from Mecca.
A boatload OF pilgrims who landed
In Sicily in 1883 are believed to have
brought to Italy the epidemic OF
cholera which in the following four
years took a toll Of 250,000 lives In
Europe and $4,000 In the West In
dies and South America.
Because OF this peril the Interna.
tional Quarantine Board does not
issue It's report until the African
pilgrims are safely past the quaran-
tine station of Tor, at the entrance
to the Gulf OF Suez. This year. al.
though the pilgrims we're greater In
number than for many years past.
there was no reason for the deten-
tion OF any of those westward bound

more frequently called, the overland
route came, il is generally believed.
the most devastating of the plaques
which visited Europe. The black
plague of the fourteenth century
came from the East and first ap-
peared in the Crimea. From there
its spread was rapid through Italy
and the Mediterranean coast and
thence into western Europe. The
great plague of London. from which
about 10000 of It's 100000 popula.
tion died in the seventeenth century,
is supposed to have been brought by
sailors to England from the Black
Sea coast. Even In the latter part OF
