than war purposes, he was acting

It may be suggested, the court says,

facts and findings it must be presumed
that the rates approved by the public
service commission are fair and rea-
sonable.

TUBERCULOSIS IN MISSISSIPPI.

During the year, 1913, there We're
reported by the physicians Of M'Ssls-
sippi $500 new cases Of tuberculosis.
About 600 men were sent back from
the army and navy, because Of Tuber-
culosis. And based upon the findings
Of other states there were approx
mately $500 men rejected by the local
draft boards on account OF this disease.
During the same period there were
between 1000 and 5000 deaths in the
state.
The above represents a tremendous
economic and financial loss, to say
nothing of the sorrow and distress;
and yet, it is wholly p%reventable.
For further information as to the
prevention and care of this most
dreaded disease, Write The Extension

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

The American Expeditionary Force
D / the II. S. National Army together
constituted the largest body of clean
young men ever assembled. The army
and navy carried on the biggest cam
paign against sex immortality and its
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 well 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 precedents which
tended to obstruct it's 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 or
battle, but they wanted the returning
veterans to reach them as whole II
healthy in their morals as they were
when they left. American women rea'
lied the fact that this problem would
have a vital effect on them and their
children. And the American army and
navy were fully alive to the fact that
q more efficient force could be OBJ
tanned by the eradication of venereal
diseases than by the elimination OF
wounds. This statement may sound
incredible, but the experience of the
armies Of European nations proves 1t.
THE number of syphilitics in the
army must certainly be several hun
dreds Of thousands. Since the war be
gan a total equivalent to sixty div
sions has been temporarily withdrawn

thousands upon thousands are
withdrawn from the fighting line for
weeks. But they are not only missed
as fighters, they also cause expense

transportation back home, and through

Before The draft. we knew little or

country. like the countries Of Europe,
was suffering from a scOurge costing
nearly as much in life, happiness,
and money as ali other diseases com
bined. 1t was shown, moreover, that
these diseases were not confined to
any one class Of men, but hat they
existed in families Of every class: that
they were not diseases of large cities

trict produced proporIionately 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 and foremost, because they put
thousands upon thousands Of fighting
men on the sick list, with a loss OF
millions of dollars and invaluable
training time. To let them alone, as
had beer the policy in the past, was %
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 venereal disease to
keep them "fit to fight" Practically
all prostitutes are known to be such
carriers. Therefore, prostitution had
to 60.
Some men, in spite OF all efforts.
nevertheless exposed themselves to
disease. Therefore, in every camp
here was established expert medical
are for infected men. The regula-
lions 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
ment and coveted privileges.
Preventive measures were nj by
any means all medical and legal. me
boy must understand, as boys nave
never understood i'm the past, the ma
ture and consequences Of sex immor-
ality. To this end there were provided
lectures, motion pictures, exhibits n
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 a 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 hat II
the and girls were not enlisted
in this fight, the success OF the pro
gram would be limited. There was
founded a 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 it has launched the first consist
ent blow against a scourge which 10
even more disastrous to the integrity
of nations than war itself. The con
tinuation of the work is now the duty
of the civil authorities.

BURLESON
Pennsylvania Judge Holds U. S. Has
No Peace Power over Telephones.

Harrisburg, Pa, April 1.-THE com
monWealth OF Pennsylvania won its
second round today iii the injunction
proceedings to prevent Attorney Cen
eral Burleson acting as the federal OPP
Grating agent of the Bell Telephone
Company, from raising telephone rates
in this state. Judge kunkle of the
Dauphin County court handing down
an opinion in which he continues until
a final hearing has been held the pre-
liminary injunction granted against
the Bell company at the preliminary
hearing.
There is no attempt to deny the
power of the president to operate the
lines for war purposes, but Judge Kun
kIe says:
THE rates he charges others whom
he may permit the use of the lines
while under his control seems to have
no real relation whatsoever to his use
of the system for all proper war pur-
poses. Hence, it would appear that
his attempt to change the rates and
by the state authorities is wholly out
side his power"
Further the court says:
"When the president attempts to use
the defendants lines and it does not
