A FINISH FIGHT.
Will Be Waged Against Venereal Dis
eases in United States.

1t is interesting to note that at con-
ference in Washington with the officials
of the United States public health sery.
ice the representatives of practically ev-
cry state board Of health in the United
States considered venereal diseases 50
much menace that they placed it at the
very top of their health program for the
coming year.
1t means, of course, that the energy OF
the American medical profession will be
united to carry on finish fight and
that at some time in the not very distant
future venereal diseases will become re-
mote.
1t iskalso good to note that the work
rests on a firm foundation, Backed by
the United States government, largely es
a war measure, all of the states save five
have adopted, or put into effect, legisla-
ton for the control of venereal diseases
and are making rapid Roadway toward
the eventual goal. The war measure has
become peace time necessity. Convinced
that there are few diseases as generally
prevalent, as easily communicable, and
as great an economic drain, the numerous
state assemblies and boards of health
decided to take advantage of the ground
gained through war legislation and clean
up right now.
There are just two things lacking to
guarantee a quicker success. These are
the proper attitude of the public and the
cooperation of city and county officials
The states are well organized so far as
cooperation with the government is con
cerned 1t now remains for the cities
and counties to organize in cooperation
with the state board OF health.
This quite naturally win come about
when the public opens its eyes.
And we might as we'll begin right here
at home II would be well to realize
now as later that the old days have gone
for keeps, Not as measure of reform
but because they were breeders and car.
riers of venereal diseases, $50 segregated
districts with the prostitutes have been
put out of business Scarcely six have
been left in the United States They
will never come back.
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1919-06-17

We should realize that this was &C.
complished in little more than a year,
and this city must get in the fight or be
left behind 1t is hardly time to con
slider the propriety of the discussion. The
United States government and the state
boards of health did not hesitate because
some people considered "venereal dis
eases" words which should not be spoken
in public Because they brushed aside
false modesty they have made great
Roadway.
We must do it here at home. Syphilis,
yellow fever, smallpox and gonorrhea all
are alike in the lexicon of communicable
diseases.
Let us get busy and get our state
board of health and the United States
public health service to tell us what to
do to control these dangerous infections.

Another, Arrested for Drug Law
Violation, Tries Deah
by Choking

Christian Vanderberger, twenty-six
years old, of 68 Hyde Avenue, Long
Island City, hanged himself in the
Tombs Prison last night, where he
was awaiting trial on charge of
petty larceny. According to Dr. Aaron
Cohen. of the Volunteer Hospital,
Vanderberger was a drug addict and
was desperate because the stimulant
had been denied him. 1t was his sec
ond attempt to commit suicide within
two hours.
Earlier in the evening another pris-
oner. Thomas Corners, who was also
drug user, and who had been arrest
ed for violating the narcotic laws,
tried to choke himself to death He
was found in time and stimulant
was administered. DR.. Cohen said
last night that the epidemic of sui
cides was largely due to the despond-
ency Of drug users when their supply
OF the narcotic was shut off.
Vanderberger was handcuffed and
removed to the first tier of the prison

when keeper William Hazel found him
enoking himself in his cell in the fifth
tier. he told DR.. Cohen, who attend

answering call by another prisoner
and found Vanderberger hanging
from the top of his cell door with q
oelt around his neck In spite of his
handouts, he had climbed the grating

top OF 1t, slipped his head in the moose
ana then jumped off backward.

Member of lmperator's ''Black Gang'' Has Ill

The 1mperator, which docked yester-

When he came up to c dock yester-
day, stripped to the waist and smutted

relterates its announcement that every
precaution is being taken to protect

Registration begins officially on
Thursday. All addcts are requested to
present themselves between the hours
of and O'Clock with three photo
graphs, one to be affixed to the card
that goes 20 the State Narcotic Com
mission, one to be filed in a locked
cabinet at the bureau, the third to be
retained by the patient and presented
to doctor and druggist when he seeks
prescriptions. At the end of each
month the patients card is returned,
