Must Be Reasonably Clean

Although, says the L. s. Public
Health Service, when typhus and
plague subside in Europe Gas they
must eventually the menace of the
mountaineering immigrant will prac-
tically disappear, still the Public
Health Service will continue to in
sist that travellers to This country
must he reasonably clean when they
embark, regardless of any infection
to which they are known to have
been exposed.
The louise is, of course, quite as
common in some quarters of the
larger American cities as it is in the
European Sums; and it is dangerous
only when it has become infected
which it can be only by biting an in
fected person and absorbing his
germ laden blood. If all the typhus
patients. for instance, in this country
from lousy surroundings. they cannot
communicate the disease and it will
speedily die out. This explains why
even the 81 cases of typhus that oc-
cured in New York City in 1911 did
not cause an epidemic in spite of the
verminous condition of many of the
New York slum districts.
Nevertheless, insists the Public
Health Service, greater personal
cleanliness should, as q matter of or
binary deccncy and healthfulncss, be
required from immigrants: and no
return should be allowed to the con-
ditions that prevailed many years be-
fore the war, when very many i'm
migrants from central Europe ar
rived in an inexcusably dirty condi-
ton, many Of them infected with
vermin. Even though in those days
they did not>bring epidemic diseases,
they did bring many minor Affections,
created disease centers, and flooded
parts of many cities with vermin.
At present, what with the rcdIc-
ton in immigration brought about by
the existing law restricting their
numbers and with the disinfecting
and delousing facilities that the
steamship companies have installed,
some of them practically under COM
pulsion. at European ports, condi-
tons are reasonably satisfact
The respite is, however, not for long,
for the restrictive law is for one year
only, and unless it is renewed or in
some way replaced the tidal wave of
immigrants, now waiting in Europe
for the letting down Of tho bars, will
rush for this country and the result
ing pressure will test every timber in
the health barricade.
