FALLEN GIRLS notices

FALLEN GIRLS.-I noticed in The
Day Book recently an appeal for a
refuge for fallen girls made by Kate
Adams. Miss Adams is one whom
every man and woman in Chicago
should love and respect. Her intui-
tons and motives are right, but if
such thing should be made into a
reality by the voters, what would be
the result? 1t would mean more
graft for certain politicians and
grafters. Will you show me one
branch of charity in the city of Chi
cago today which is benefited by 40
per cent of the funds which are sup
posed to go to charity?
Does Kate Adams know the prosti-
tute? No. She only knows her as a
woman. A prostitute is nothing else
and never will be anything else. They
are born, not made. As far as educa-
ton is concerned, look up and read
can Interested Readers" letter in
The Day Book of Jan. % and you will
see something which will interest
you concerning prostitutes. That
man knew what he was writing
about. Once prostitute, always a
prostitute, and the more education
you give them the worse you make
them.
There is no education or CONVEX
sion for a woman of this kind, so the
best thing to do, in my estimation, is
to give us back segregated district.
If we had home for fallen girls, how
many would go there? Not one in a
thousand. They would detest the
place as the poor, hungry man, who
is out of work, detests the municipal
lodging house. This is because they
know how they would be treated at
an institution of this kind.
There are prostitutes in this city
who could introduce to society that
society would accept and "hob-nob"
with. Indeed, this has happened.

DR.. DAVIES AND FREE

CURES Will try and answer DIR.
Davies who recently expressed sur
prise that he had not received more
applications for the free treatment
which is being granted to drug VIC
tins in both state and city hospitals.
At first the poor dopes were only
too glad to apply for relief but when
stories of the brutal cure and treat
ment received by the patients circu-
lated among, the afflicted the appica-
tons fell off.
A number of dope fiends who have
applied for relief have been induced
to join the "Snitch Club" and obtain
information for their arch enemy the
police. Receiving no dope they soon
quit and this news. spreading around,
scared the rest of the sufferers away.
Recently report has been spread
throughout the underworld that the
cures used in County Hospital, Elgin
and other free institutions, are brutal
that the patients are strapped to
beds and tied with sheets in the midst
of their horrible craving for dope.
When they ask for relief they receive
abuse.
If this is so l cannot see what DIR.
Davies wonders at.
The should know that report of
this character spreads like wild-fire
and is believed.
A fiend will not apply for treatment
if he hears that he is to be treated
like a dog and suffer the awful
agonies of being deprived of his slim
ulant.
A week or two ago the government
closed a hospital which specialized
in curing fiends. 1t bad been run
ming for 20 years and the treatment
always resulted in a cure. 1t was pop
ular because it was cheap and easy.
Patients were not imprisoned

thieves, assure DR.. Davies that as

NEW YORK. May S.-New York $
welcome to the sixteen battleships of the
Atlantic fleet, which steamed into the
harbor today for the naval demonstra-

The usual salute of steam whistles from
harbor craft was lacking. and as the
ships swept up the Hudson to their
anchoraces scarcely a cheer went up from
the crowds lining the shore.
There seemed to be a general spirit of
depression. inspired apparently by the
disaster to the Lusitania, for usually a
ceremonial visit to New York by ships
of the navy is gala occasion
The ships. with the Louisiana in the
lead, passed quarantine shortly after 9
