Clinics for the free treatment of
venereal diseases are being establish
ed in the cities of the United States
as fast as possible, and these will be
maintained under the direction of the
State Boards of Health.
A vigorous campaign is being car
ried on against prostitution. Already
ITO cities have closed their RED
Light" districts and the subtler forms
of prostitution are being fought
With this goes work for the care of
the prostitutes. Those who are found
to be infected are cured if possible;
the incorrigible go to reformatories
and the diseased are sent to deten-
ton homes; those who will work have
employment found for them; some of
them, gladly enough, are returned TO
their homes.
Hand in hand with this goes the
campaign of education by means of
lectures, pamphlets, moving pictures
and placards in public places. Warn
ing is given to sufferers from vice
diseases not to patronize the advertis-
ing quick doctors who prey upon the
unfortunate; druggists all over the
country are agreeing not to sell the
proprietary medicines supposed to
cure these diseases.
In all this work the Negro citizen
ship of the United States should have
an important share. Since the war
Negro women have made a decided
mark in industry, especially in the
South; and the proper education of
these women along social hygienic
lines cannot fail to bring fine results.
When General Pershing was asked
if he wanted Negro soldiers sent over
to France, he replied, Aren't they
American citizens? Can't they do
as much in the line of fighting and
as much work as any other American
citizen? Send them over" The re-
suit is that the much sought for
Croix de Guerre is pinned on many
a Negroes breast.
With the same spirit that inspired
the Negro soldier to win honor on
the battlefield is the Negro citizen
urged to fight in this campaign for
a cleaner nation. If anyone doubts
how he can be of individual service
let him write for the free pamphlets
issued by The United States Public
Health Service, 22S-1st st. N. w.,

THE COLORED PEOPLE THROUGHOUT
THE UNITED STATES ARE CALLED
UPON TO ASSIST In THE PUBLIC
HEALTH SERVICE.

With the cessation of the war one
of the most important Governmental
activities that had its birth in war
time is that division of the U. S.
Public Health Service devoted to the
task of clearing the nation of venere-
al diseases. In this task each indivi-
dual citizen of the United States must
help, as a patriotic duty and the
work that is to be done, being in its
beginning very largely educational,
should appeal with peculiar force to
the leaders of the Negro race.
The frightful prevalence of vene-
real disease among the civil popula-
ton of America was demonstrated
when the military authorities found
that, according to the estimates of
the Surgeon General, five-sixths of
all these diseases in the army were
being brought in from civil life.
The fight against vice diseases and
against prostitution, the frightful
source of these diseases, began, of
course, as a measure of protection to
our military service; and here the
National Council of Defense and the
Commission on Training Camp Activ-
tiles, did valiant service, carrying the
war against venereal diseases back
into civil life. That the fight should
be continued vigorously in our cities
and rural communities, so that the
stigma of reproach shall be lifted
from the nation, is but a natural out
growth.
In compliance with an order signed
by President Wilson on July l, 1918,
transferring to. the United States
Public Health Service all civilian
public health activities, including the
work of combating venereal diseases
in civil communities, the campaign
has begun. The Division of Venereal
Diseases of which Assistant Surgeon
General C. c. Pierce is the head, is
doing this work in cooperation with
the State Boards of Health. An Of
fcer of the Public Health Service is
detailed to each of the various State
Boards of Health.
By October l, 1918. 80 states had
adopted laws and regulations requir-
ing the reporting of venereal diseases
by name or number and by the same
date 20 states had laws or regulations
the isolation of persons
so infected with vice diseases as to
be menace to their communities.

this all important matter. Why should
there not be established in Chicago,
centers to which mothers and those
interested could go and get more light
on the preparation, cooking and serv-
ing of plain foods? Places where, in
plain simple and understandable Ian
guage, women who have never studied
or had the opportunity to study the
subject of dietetics or food values,
might be taught the things that would
mean so much in conserving the bodi-
ly health and vigor of their families.

Look At Them Now.

One year ago the streets of Omaha
were filed with embryo soldiers. They
were awkward, their uniforms did not
fit well. and their carriage betokened
nothing of the martial spirit that ami
mated them. Plenty of work ahead
for the drill sergeant. Careless of APP
pearance, loose in walk and carriage,
the boys sadly lacked that element OF
'!sma rtness" that is the distinguishing
characteristic Of the soldier. No Won
der. for they had come from the various
walks of civil life, the farm. the factory,
the store. the office, with only the one
great impulse in common between
them. Some had lumpy muscles and
some had none, but all had the spirit.

soldiers, khaki In sight everywhere at
all times. but what difference! Now

TO BUILD HOSPITAL
County to Ersot Quarantine Hospital
For Victims Of Social Diseases
Board Getting Estimate Of Cost For
Building on Jail Lot,

Stirred by the necessity the situa-
tion has created, and the urging Of the
state board Of health, the board OF
supervisors has prepared to take steps
to erect. or provide. a detention hos
pital in which to detain victims Of
social diseases while they are under
detention until cured.
The plans Of the board have not yet
been mattred. but today 1t asked for
an estimate for building to be
erected on the rear Of the lot occupied
by the jail annex. and county heating
plant. This plan Is to build a second
story over part of the heating plant
and a two story extension south of the
heating plant and east Of the Jail. An
other plan that has not matured is the
possibility OF building on the city
property where the detention hospital
is located near the Center street bridge
over the Iowa river.
The question Of segregation OF, the
male and female patients is present
ing to the board a most serious prob
lem. How this can be successfully
accomplished the board is not yet pre-
pared to say. Supervisor Jones has
suggested that the county might
exchange patients with one Of the
neighboring counties, so one county
would have only males and the other
only females to care for.

The supervisors chose this type OF
bridge which is OF handsome design,
because the price was only $245 more
than the lowest bid for a high steel
truss bridge. The absence OF cost OF
maintenance on the arch, as compared
with painting the steel truss and de-
probation of the latter bridge together
with the prettier design influenced the
board to select the arch. In con-
nection with this bridge job the county
will straighten the road at the bridge
and the channel Of the creek. The job
Is to be finished on Nov l.
