Our EYES ARE OPENED.

To know the truth about com
municable diseases is TO be able TO
guard against them: TO lessen them; 20
control them. That hss proved 20 be
true OF tuberculosis, OF diphtherla,
smallpox, typhoid fever and all the
other communicable diseases.
Let us therefore remember that the
venereal diseases are highly COM
municabIe. They are primarily diseases
OF vice spread mainly through prostltu-
ton, but they are also communicable
by innocent means.
The United States Public Health
Service is making a nationwide fight
for the cleanliness Of American com
munties Prostitution is being sup
pressed; laws requiring the reporting
OF yenereal diseases just as other COM
municable diseases are reported, have
been passed by many States. Clinics
for the skilled treatment OF yenereal
diseases are established.
In this work. which has for It's object
a clean America, every citizen must
help In his single strength The false
mOdesty which has prevented a free
discussion OF this menace to the nation
must be brushed aside. so that every
one may know and realize the danger
to be fought against.
Never again can an individual citi-
zen be content with an attitude Of in
difference toward such a subject as
this. The war opened our eyes: we
must keep them open until the danger
is past.
