f0 Come to Florida And Why It will be much safer for Ameri cans who peek rest, recreation and health, to pome, to Florida .than by fcoing to Europe. Over there affairs are very much demoralized, transpor tation is bad, food is scarce and high priced, and there is prevalence of disease. The offices of ,the trans Atlantic steamship companies are bo eleged with applications for passage abroad, which leads American Medi cine, a leading publication of its class, to sound tht following warn ing: "No doubt the people of Europe ! look forward no less anxiously to this rush of Torelgn visitors, who promise an increase of revenue which will be . welcome after the strain of expendi tures which the war has . entailed. But there are two good reasons whv Americans should for the time being postpone their proposed Invasion of Europe. One Is that the officials of the allied countries do not want them to come at this time, when tho trans portation facilities are strained to their utmost in the complicated task of demobilization and reconstruction. Italy has already officially announced that she would regard a postpone ment of any Influx of American visit ors for the present as a favor, and Prance has intimated as much through more than one of her spokes men. But there is a second consid eration of forbidding Importance forbidding to the traveler--and that is the danger such a traveler would expose himself to in visiting Europe at a time when contagious disease? are as prevalent as they are abroad Just now. The vitality of the people of Europe, sapped by the burdens of so long' and so trying a war. are at a low ebb, and diseases such as ty phus, pneumonia, smallpox, and oth ers have found ready victims every where. Besides, many of the return ing prisoners are , coming back to France consumptive. These diseases are a distinct menace to any one ex posing himself to them, and Ameri cans would be exceedingly unwise to refuse to allay their curiosity when it can be' satisfied only at the cost of such unnecessary exposure, It would be more sensible to postpone that projected, trip to Europe until such time as conditions there are reJtorad more nearly to normal and the dan ger to the health of the visitor is eliminated."
