Looking Forward
One young lady, who for weeks
had looked forward to observing
the eclipse of the sun that took
place Sunday, was doggedly looking
forward to the next one Monday.
Sunday evening she mentioned to
friend that it certainly was hazy
during the day. The friend replied
that the haze was due to the
eclipse.
oh! l forgot to look" said the
young lady. But III be sure and
watch out for the next one"
Which is a very optimistic way
TO regard life. The next eclipse
will be in 1894.

KEY WEST NEEDS HOSPITAL

In President Roc evelt's proposal to
Congress for an appropriation of from ST.
100000 to $10,O0O,00O for construction of
so hospitals throughout the country may
be found the solution to Key Vests quest
of municipal disqualification for the very
poor end for those who cannot afford
rooms and service in private institutions.
While some of the leaders of Congress
favor legislation to carry out the Presi-
dents program ''for strengthening and in
creaSing the health security of the nation,
other Congressional spokesman insist there
is no nsstent call for federal aid in the
construction of hospitals.
Insofar as Key West is concerned, The
Citizen believes these opponents of the
Presidential disqualification program are
in error Key West does need a hospital
of the kind contemplated by Mr. Roose-
welt. The Marine hospital an outstanding
institution of it's kind, is totally inadequate
even to handle the navy's needs, with the
result that naval station officers are pre-
pairing to receive bids on an addition to the
yard dispensary. Marine hospital does
care for some civilian cases in the event of
emergency, but its function, as it's name
implies, is to provide facilities for the care
and treatment of seamen
Neither Key West nor Monroe county
is in any financial condition to undertake
the erection of a modern hospital and to
furnish the necessary equipment. The
people of the community have not fully re-
covered from the numerous economic set
backs of the last several years. They can
rot provide funds for such hospital. I'm
doubtedly the taxpayers of the county
could manage the maintenance of such a
hospital if it were provided by the federal
government.
The Citizen, long an advocate of bet
ter hospitals for Key West, believes that
the Key West Chamber of Commerce, the
Monroe County Medical Society and other
organizations should lose no time inform
ing Congressman Pat Cannon and Senators
Claude Pepper and Charles o. Andrews of
the hospital situation in Key West. There
is need for a municipal hospital to take
care of the needs of our own population
and of the large influx of visitors, par
ticularly at this time of the year.
A municipal hospital is another essen
tial in the rehabilitation program to estab-
lish Key West as tourist center.

THE POLITICAL FEVER EPIDEMIC

The year 1910 is what is known as a
political year
With a presidential election in sight,
and other elections coming on, men in pub
lie office and those wanting to be in office,
measure all things from the political angle
Newspaper editors are not different.
Many newspapers will follow the lead of
politicians and watch for chance to have
political effect.
Discussions that were relatively ac-
ademic year ago will be tinged with
new significance. Even the public is on
guard for political propaganda, in theory,
but sopping it up in practice without
knowing that the dose is being given.
In a word, public discussion will suf-
fer from the political fever that afflicts
the nation. There is no help for it. The
disease is one of the consequences of demo-
cracy. All that we can hope for is that
the ravages of the epidemic will not seri-
ously affect the well-being of the State or
dry up the fountain of truth.

ADOPTED NINE sICKLY CHILDREN

The death of Mrs. Angelica Talcott
Rathborne Putnam, wife of DR.. Charles
Russell Lowell Putnam, of New York,
brings to light an interesting story.
Some years ago, it seems, the Putnams
decided to adopt some children, although
they had five children of their own. In
stead of selecting only healthy children, as
most foster parents do, Mrs Putnam, with
the consent of her husband, specialist in
the treatment of children's ailments,
adopted children who were sickly and for
whom there was little hopes of a robust
childhood Altogether, they adopted
nine.
This, we believe is a remarkable ex-
ample of genuine love of children. 1t is a
fine spirit which leads many childless
couples to adopt other children. It is
probably drawer spirit for couples, with
children of their own, to adopt other chill
dren 1t takes noble spirits blessed with
great love for all mankind, to deliberately
adopt helpless, sickly children. Such serv-
ice deserves to be remembered.

GAINS ARE MADE
AGAINST SYPHILIS
TO-DAY IS NATIONAL SOCIAL
HYGIENE DAY IN
NATION

National Social Hygiene Day,
celebrated today, suggests the
timeliness of review of recent
gains against syphilis, one of
Florida's most serious public
health problems. Since statistics
recently released by the State
Board Of Health reveal Florida
to have the highest syphilis death
rate among IA Southern states, it
can readily be seen that Florida
has a problem of real magnitude.
Although it is too early in the
present campaign to say what re-
auctions in prevalence have been
realized, it is not too early for an
estimate regarding future success.
Four years of enlightened pub
lie attitude toward the so-called
Venereal diseases, and great
deal of hard work, have brought
impressive increases in facilities
for diagnosis and treatment
everywhere.
In FLORIDA in the past year the
number of patients under treat
ment has doubled as has the num-
Der of cases reported by private
physicians and clinics.
DR.. A. B. McCreary, state health
officer, says in the current issue
of FLORIDA Health Notes, Off
cial publication of the State
Board of Health, that the increase
is due not to more syphilis, but
to the increased vigilance in
finding and bringing under treat
ment heretofore undiscovered
cases. The work has been made
possible as a result of increased
Federal appropriations. DR.. Nc
Creary reports, however, that
none of the $4,000 matching fund
appropriated by the last Florida
Legislature has been forthcoming
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1940-02-01

For some time The Citizen has been
s.dvocating the construction of a modern
hospital and there is a possibility of OBJ
taini2g one now that the President has
asked Congress for an appropriation to
construct so hospitals throughout the coun-
tr..- Our senators and representative should
re informed At once concerning the need
OF a hospital in Key West, as there is every
reason to believe that Congress will ap-
propriate the millions asked Tor the pur-
pose. The health of community is OF
paramount consideration.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1940-02-01

and that if local matching funds
are not shown, Federal funds
will be withdrawn.
In 1889 the gains achieved by
the State of Florida in its fight
against syphilis kept pace with
the progress in the nationwide
program.
Today nineteen states require
examinations for syphilis in APP
plicants for marriage licenses,
seventeen provide for similar
tests in expectant mothers. None
of these laws is over three years
old, most are only one or two.
And other states are considering
them.
