For months the State Board of Health, Florida's sanitary watchdog, has been sounding the alarm of the approaching plague. The develop- ments of the past few weeks have proved that this alarm was not merely a growl of the ordinary watchdog, nor an empty “baying at the moon."” The history of the discase shows that its the deep is stealthy and mysterious. By no ordinary means can the pres- ence of the infection in a given lo- cality be determined until the dis- ease is actually manifested in the human vietim. The dire anticipations and fears of State health authorities all along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts that the disease was approaching the United States realized by its appearance in Havana Febru- ary. Twenty-seven cases and deaths had been reported from (‘uba by July 1, all but two of the cases in Havana.

It is ag likely to reach any other seaport city on the Atlanu- tic or Gulf States likely, that is, if no precautions are taken to resist its coming. The insidious nature of the plague, its stealthy approach in the infected, flea-bearing rat, which hides in the darknegs of the ship’s hold, which gnaws its way into the foundations of freight laden warehouses, and which is a synonym for sneaking re- pulsiveness, all these combine to 'make the fight against it a fight in the dark, a fight, it may be, against a danger that may not bhe actually present, but a fight against the chances that it may 1o What do sane, sober-minded men do in such cirenmstances, where the gamble is for the healthfuln city and community, for life a the chances of a horrible epidemic and a more horrible death?
