FORCED TO DELAY PROBE

Board Of Charities Officers Busy, But
John Joy Edison Expresses Con-
fdence in Mr.. Whitaker.

With John Joy Edison and George S.
Wilson, president and secretary, respec-
lively. Of the board of charities. devot-
Ing practically their entire time to the
draft work. the probabilities are that the
board will not begin before next week
an investigation OF the charges preferred
against William H Whitaker. superin-
tendent Of the District workhouse. at
OccoQuan. by Mrs. Virginia II. Bovee.
recently discharged as an officer OF the
institution and representative Of the ma
donal woman's party.
Mr.. Edison Is q member Of the board Of
draft appeals, which sits daily from early
morning until late in tie afternoon. Mr..
Wilson Is chairman OF local exemption
board for district No. 10. Other members
Of the board Of charities are out Of the
city. However. when the board holds its
regular monthly meeting next Friday the
complaint against Mr.. Whitaker probably
will come up for consideration.
There is probability that Mr.. Ed
son may visit Occoquan tomorrow. AS
chairman Of the District penal COM
mission. which designed this institu-
ton, Mr.. Edison has visited OccoQuan
many times and is thoroughly familiar
with every detail Of its administration.
He expressed today confidence in Supt.
Whitaker, whom he considers one of
the most emctent modern prison OF
flcials in the United States.
TN my opinion the District work
house is one of the best governed and
cleanest, II not the best, institution of
the kind In the United States" said
Mr.. Edison. Prison experts have pro-
nounced It a model and in no institution
Of this character in the country are the
inmates treated more humanely and
given better opportunity to develop
mentally, physically and morally and
return to society better citizens.
II cannot see how any fault can be
found with the quality of the food
which is purchased through appropria-
ton by Congress. There is nothing to
be gained by serving impure food. No
corporal punishment is allowed at Oc-
coquan, and. if any prisoner has been
confined in chains, as is alleged in one
Of the aff1davits, such procedure was
against the rules, unless the prisoner
was dangerously vicious or insane
then in a cell only Careful inquiry, of
course. will be made regarding the al
legations"
District officials who are acquainted
with conditions at Occoquan regard the
complaint of the picket prisoners as a
natural protest against mode of life
utterly foreign to the experiences and
conceptions of women OF intelligence
and refinement. 1t is pointed out that
the women probably have lost sight of
the fact that they are in a prison
where such conveniences to which they
have been accustomed are not to be
found.
1t was learned today that a represen-
tative of the board of charities has Wis
tied Occoquan since the second contin-
gent of picket prisoners arrived and
that a report as to conditions noted
has been made.

Simple Rules to Follow.
There are a few simple. common
sense rules to follow, which are briefly
summed up in this lesson.
Every tillIlS you eat Will DO carefully
inspected by the officers in charge of
that duty. You will have plenty of
fresh meat, bread. potatoes and other
vegetables and other simple and nour-
ishing food AS a general rule. you
should eat nothing not supplied In your
company mess. Especially avoid green
or overripe fruit and the inferior
soft drinks" which will be put before
you in shops and by peddlers outside
the camp limits.
Your chief care in connection with
food will be to chew 1t thoroughly and
eat 1t slowly. Don't drink excessive
quantities of water. tea or coffee with
your meals: this is rather q common
fault among soldiers
Avoid needless exposure. You may be
often called upon in the line of duty
to march through mud and rain. So
long as you arc actively on the move
1T will probably do no harm As soon
as you are off duty, however, take
proper care of yourself. Give yourself
a rundown and, II possible. battle your
feet and change your clothing. Use a
little extra care to protect your belly
from getting chilled; it may save you
some annoying attacks of cramps and
diarrhea.
If you come in from exercise or drill
sweating freely, try to cool off grad
ually instead of allowing yourself to
get chilled Even in hot weather throw
a light coat or wrap over yourself for
a few minutes.

ter not provided in tho camp or recon-
mended to you by medical or company
officers.
If pure water is not at hand, it is bet
ter to drink boiled water or weak coffee
or tea. Boiling kills the disease germs.
Moderate Use of Tobacco Urged.
II you are in the habit Of using
tobacco, be moderate. especially while
you are on the march or Just before
taking strenuous exercise. Your smoke
will do less harm and at the same time
will be much more enjoyable II you
wait till you can sit down quietly dur

The medical officer will be ready to
do everything he can to keep you well.
Don't hesitate to report to him II you
need any attention even for slight all

soldier who is not feeling well may ask
for medical treatment.
It is frequently assumed by we'll
meaning critics that Illicit sexual inter-
course and venereal diseases are more
common in the Army than in civil life.
This is probably mistaken Impression,
due largely to the fact that statistics
Of these diseases are collected In the
Army. whereas e,,;. the The corresponding
In the new Army the evils of sexual
immortality will be reduced to a mini
mum. The men will find their time and
energy SO fully occupied that they will
have fewer temptations and dangers Of
this type than in everyday civil life.
Citizen-Soldier Obligations.
Ono Of your obligations as 3 citisen-
soldier is to conduct yourself in such
way as to create and spread tho true
impression-namely. that the National
Army Is made up of men too much in
earnest in the great task assigned to
them to indulge in lewdness and vice.
The only sure safeguard against vene-
real disease is to avoid Illicit inter-
course. A clean life Is the best guar
antee Of sound health. To maintain a
clean life, keep away from those things
which tend to promote sexual excite
ment and desire. particularly obscene
conversation, reading matter and pic
lures.
The moral reasons which should impel
every self-respecting man to avoid de-
basing himself by sexual vice are well
known to every man who joins the
National Army and need not be re-
counted here. In addition to the moral
reasons there rests upon every soldier
the especial duty OF avoiding every
thing that may unfit him for active and
effective service. This obligation in
the present crisis is even greater and
more urgent than in normal times. The
expected and required to maintain
especially high standards Of conduct
