In '.raveling from place to place it is a wise precaution to have tbe certificate stamped by tbs ticket agent at eacb pome that a ticket is purchased, es tbe stamps oo tbe back of tbe certificite serve as tbe best and most satisfac? tory record of the travelers itinerary and is a convincing answer to any questions tbe quarantine officers may a si: about tbe route subsequent to tbe time tbe certificate was obtaitied.
