The Government Attack
Against Vice Disease
State Board of Health, Jackson Mississippi

trfct produced proportionately quite as
large a number of cases. Obviously,
the situation called for the open mind
ed attention of every intelligent man
and woman in the United States.
The Federal Government went into
the campaign against these diseases,
first andforemost, because they put
thousands upon thousands of fighting
men on the sick list, with q loss OF
millions of dollars and invaluable
training time To let them alone, as
had been the policy in the past, was to
play directly into the hands of the Kali
SER
First of all, then. the Government
set out to protect our military forces
from carriers of yenereal disease to
keep them fit to fight Practically
all prostitutes are known to be such
carriers. Therefore, prostitution had
to go.
Some men, in spite of all efforts,
nevertheless exposed themselves to
disease. Therefore, in every camp
here was established expert medical
care for infected men. The regula-
tons also provided for the fixing of
the responsibility of exposure upon the
soldier himself. and he knew well the
price he must pay in terms of advance
ment and coveted privileges.
Preventive measures were not by
any means all medical and legal The
boy must understand. as boys have
never understood In the past, the ma
ture and consequences of sex immor-
ality. To this end there were provided
lectures, motion pictures, exhibits and
pamphlets This education was in no
sense "goody-goody." Neither was It
morbid The facts were stated frank
ly, but the appeal was, most of all, to
his patriotism and sense of fair play in
the avoidance of risks which would d.
minish his fighting power.
Again, since experience has shown
that the greatest number of infections
have occurred through lack of nor
NAL interests, every effort was made
to bring TO the boys athletic sports,
concerts. movies, books, etc.
The fighting soldier thus provided
for, there remained his comrade, the
soldier of the munition factory, the
war workers all over the country. He
also had to be informed and helped
along similar lines, and the mightiest
campaign of education ever known In
the world was placed in motion.
1t would be a mistake to suppose
that this work was confined to men
alone 1t soon became evident that il
the women and girls were not enlisted
in this fight, the success of the pro-
gram would be limited There was
founded Woman's Section of the War
Department whose duties were not
only to protect young girls from their
folly and ignorance but to educate all
women in those facts which are OF
such paramount Importance to them
and to the race.
1t is to the glory Of our government
that 1t has launched the first consist

The American Expeditionary Force

constituted the largest body of clean
young men ever assembled. The army
and navy carried on the biggest cam
paign against sex immortality and it's
serious consequences that the world
has ever known
The program adopted involved the
wholesale disregard Of our age-old
prudery and that conspiracy of silence
which has been so we'll maintained. 1t
included the public discussion of dis
eases heretofore considered only by
physicians and small groups of reform
ers. But the American army was pre-
pared to smash any presidents which
tended to obstruct its effectiveness,
and prudery was not to be considered
beside the health and fighting quail
ties of our forces. American mothers
and fathers were willing to sacrifice
their sons to the honorable wounds OF
battle, but they wanted the returning
veterans to reach them as whole and
healthy in their morals as they were
when they left American women real
ICED the fact that this problem would
have vital effect on them and their
children. And the American army and
navy were fully alive to the fact that
more efficient force could be OBJ
tanned by the eradication of venefeal
diseases than by the elimination of
wounds This statement may sound
Incredible, but the experience of the
armies of European nations proves it.

Thousands upon thousands are

Query.-What do you think OF paint as

house regularly. say, every three or four
years?
Answer.-Good paint properly APP
piled when needed is the main thing In
making house last long and well. A
house worth $1,000 can be painted at q
cost of about $125. In so years that
house will need about Is paintings,
the total cost of which will be 1885.
Left without paint, such house would
fall into complete ruin in 30 years. SO
taking 60 years as basis for our fig
ures we find that with paint home
will last that time in good condition
and will cost, plus paint, $4,375. With
out paint the house would have to be
rebuilt at the end of 80 years and
would be ready for another complete.
renovation when the sixtieth year ar
rived. Cost. without paint, $4,000 for
home ready to fall to pieces. Does
regular painting pay? As the old
Dutch adage says:

UESTIONNA ARE
ANSWERS WHICH WILL SOLVE
PERPLExINc PROBLEMS OF
THIS RECONSTRUCTION ERA.

Query.--The government has launched
an educational campaign to encourage
building in order to put more men to
work. Would not similar movement to
show how the old structures can be best
and most economically repaired and made
good as new also help?
Answer.-It is learned that such a
plan is In effect and IS linked directly
with the Washington propaganda.
Industry must be turned back from
works of war to the ways Of peace.
Employment must be found, in the
meanwhile, for those whose occupa-
tion has beer interrupted. There is no
real surplus of labor IN the United
States. Rather there is a shortage,
which would be acute If normal condi-
ditions were already restored, and one
step towards restoring them will come
with resumption Of repair work
Government restrictions, imposed by
the necessities of the war program,
have for many months past retarded
or altogether prevented construction,
Improvement and repairs. These re-
strictions are now off, and there IL
scarcely town, city, factory, a
dwelling or farm that does not reveal
crying need for prompt attention.
Nothing delays such instant action ex-
cept the feeling that prices are high
for the time being and may be lower.
That is not logical No matter what
1t costs to repair, the cost Is less than
the cost of neglect No matter what
the cost of paint, the wind and the
weather will collect higher bill in
deterioration and decay.

The Efficacy of Prayer.

The war has taught the world the
efficacy of prayer. Though the fight
ing was heroic, it was not until the ma
ton got on its knees that the tide of
battle was turned. In March 1918 the
modern Huns were pounding at the
gates of Amiens, forty some miles from
the coast. Would they reach the chan
mel ports? Would England, secure from
invasion since Nelson shattered Napo-
Icons navy at Trafalgar, now be invad-
ed by sea and land as she was from the
air? Would London Bridge, for the
first time in thousand years, tremble
under the tread of foreign foe?
Would relentless mllitarism write
again the bloody history of 1870. and
Paris once more lie at the mercy of her
old time foe? Would the freedom of the
world and the rights of man be curtailed
by demon possessed nation, saturated
with the satanic teaching of Neetzsche?
That was the disaster that threatened
the world when the people of the U. S. on
the Both of May went on their knees in
prayer. The third gigantic offensive
was launched three days before the U.
S. went to prayer. 1t was checked by
the middle of June. July 18th Foch
took the offensive and never lost it.
The flower of the German army went
Keeling backward and the royal homes
of the Hohenzolenes and the Haps-
burgs began to totter. Foch, a be-
lever in prayer. said, 1--WE shall be
saved by it and it is not the first time
in the deadly struggle" The first
month after the day of PRAYER, closed
the repulse of the Igreat Austrian Of
