church last Sunday evening at 8 o.
clock were a pronounced success and
in spite of the damp. drilling weather
were attended by an interested audi
ence that comfortably filled the church.
The decorations, electrical effects
and variations and the tableaus were
striking features which held the inter-
est of those present most unitedly.
The stars and stripes were most con-
spicuously displayed on and, about the
platform along the front of which from
end to end were placed potted plants,
an abundance of blooming laurel and
roses galore. At the rear Of the plat
form on the right hand side rested a
replica of the Methodist Church and on
the opposite side of the platform an
exact copy of the Absecon Presbyterian
Church appeared, representing the
originality of Pastor Johnston's deco
ratiye ideas. These models were con-
nected by ribbons to a central cross in
the middle background on the wall,
beneath which a doll representing a
child beckoned the people of the
churches of Absecon to the light of
the uplifted cross and also denoted
church unity and fellowship. Both
cross and church models were electri-
cally lighted and when the church
room was darkened the presentation
made its appeal.
Another original plan was executed
in the Goddess of Liberty procession
with little Elizabeth Booye carried up
the aisle and onto the platform as she
stood, covered entirely by an Ameri-
can Flag, on a portable platform noun
ted on the shoulders of four boys.
Once on the platform the church was
darkened and the Little Goddess I'M
covered her head and arms and light
ed a torch held in her right hand.

Mississippi Takes Up Work
State Board of Health, jackson, Mississippi.

cordingly passed an act regulating and
SURPRISING venereal diseases, etc
blouse Bill No. 568), and an abate-
ment act Senate Bill No. 272) pat
termed after model laws proposed by
authorities in Washington, both Of
which were approved by the Governor
on March 28th, 1918.
A simultaneous and concerted drive
against venereal disease by all states
was impossible because Of lack of
funds and the inability to obtain any
until appropriated by the state legis-
latures, most of which were not SEIZED
uled to meet regularly until 1918. Rec
ognizing this. Congress passed the
Chamberlain-Kahn amendment to the
Army Appropriations Bill on July 9th,
1918, creating an Interdepartmenta
Social Hygiene Board, composed of
the Secretaries of the Treasury, Navy
and War, and one member each of the
Medical Corps, U. S. A., the Medical
Corps, U. S. ~, and the United States
Public Health Service. This amend
ment also created a Division of Vene-
real Diseases in the Public Health
Service, and appropriated the sum Of
$1,000, 900 for each Of two years, 1918
and 1919, to be spent, in cooperation
with state boards of health, in the
control of venereal diseases.
1t was provided that the amount of
the appropriation be apportioned
among the states on the basis of the
of the census of 1910. Mis-
sissippis share, on this basis, is $19,-
$40
As soon as the necessary legal re-
quirements were met and disposed of,
a Bureau of VenereaI Disease was ere
ated in the State Board Of Health This
Bureau is>now in active operation, and
the campaign is being pushed under
the direction of the State Board of
Health.
Tie various phases of the campaign
and the progress made in each will be
taken up in subsequent articles.

When the government first began to
study the cost of venereal diseases to
the army and navy, in money, in fight
ing days, and in general morale, almost
every one thought that a higher per
eentage of these diseases would be
found among the regulars than among
our boys who had come from our home
towns. The draft. however, showed
that we were wrong in our supposi,
zion. In other words, these infections
were not a product of army life, but
the boys brought them with them from
all over the country. Plainly, then, il
the war departments attack on yene-
real diseases was to meet with auy
zeal success, the civil communities
must take up the fight The second
step, therefore, was the gaining of the
cooperation of all the states in a ma
ton-wide campaign
Since the problem is primarily one
Of public health, the campaign was
carried to the individual states through
Che state boards of health. The first
step in this State was the requirement
of physicians to report cases of vene-
real disease to the State Board Of
Health, just as other communicable dis
eases are reported. A number of plac-
ards, warning against the contraction
of venereal infection, and advising
against the use of patent nostrums for
self-treatment or the patronizing Of
quack doctors who advertise to effect
n rapid cure, were framed under glass
and posted in public toilets in certain
parts Of the State Such literature as
the available funds permitted was
printed and distributed
Such state legislatures as were in
session were appealed to and request
ed to enact legislation to facilitate the
national campaign a~2inst commercial
