Syphilis and gonOrrhea, the chief
which can be identified through the
microscope. For both there is a def
mite curative treatment which, if be-
gun promptly. is usually successful.
The most serious results come from
improper or delayed treatment.
Both diseases are communicable
usually through sexual intercourse.
For this reason men and women en-
gaging in frequent and promiscuOus
sex relations (prostitutes) in nearly
every case acquire n or both germ
infections and are the principal car
riers Of the diseases. The connection
of these dangerous communicable dis
eases with sexual immortality has pre-
vented proper discussion of the means
of preventing and curing them and has
delayed the building up of effective
prevention and treatment in the inter
est of public health.
Many men and some women, infect
ed with a venereal disease, marry. In
this way the disease is transmitted to
innocent victims within the family.
The germs, especially the syphilis
germs, are occasionally spread by other
means than sexual intercourse, i. e.,
through the use of common utensils
and by kissing.
Gonorrhea causes blindness among
infants, countless surgical operations
on women, and sterility in both men
and women. Syphilis is a frequent
cause of locOmotor ataXia. other forms
of paralysis. paresis or softening of
the brain, insanity. miscarriages. dis
eases of the heart. blood vessels and
other vital organs. Syphilis can be
transmitted to offspring, causing mem
tai and physical detectives, still births.
ard infant deaths. Syphilis kills many
thousands each year. The social and
economic loss caused by these diseases
mark them as one of mankind'S great
est scourges.-COpied from "How 10
Fight Venereal Diseases in Your City"

Trenton.-In a democracy such as
ours the power of government rests in
the hands of TIE individual. Good gov
eminent results when the people have
knowledge and are able to make wise
decisions. Bad government results when
the majority. through ignorance, make
unwise decisions or. through lack OF
interest. fail to vote. The Federal and
State Governments have confidence In
the fundamental principles of our
government, and in the decision of the
true American. They believe the great
prevalence of %gonorrhea and syphilis
in the State of New Jersey is due as
much to the ignorance of the public as
to the righteousness of these diseases
A Bureau of Venereal Disease Con.
troll has been established for the pur-
pose of educating the people in regard
to the menace of venereal diseases, so
that public opinion may grow to be
sufficiently strong to remove the con
litions which cause the ravages of
these diseases among the innocent. Al
this time, the control of these insidi-
Gus diseases depends largely upon the
suppression of prostitution. New Jer-
Sey has no recognized "red-light dis
riot" but clandestine prostitutes are
active in all the large centers of popu-
iation. ard form foci for the spread OF
tenereal diseases. The vice interests
Of the country have been displeased
with the curtailment of their nefarious
business. and they are eager TO see
that no new laws for the prevention
and spread of venereal diseases are
put on the statute books in the place
of emergency laws enacted by New
Jersey during the war. at the sugges-
ton of the Surgeon General of the
Army. The vice interests will not dis
approve of Justification. and miSrepre-
Sentation in their endeavor to prevent
constructive legislation for the control
of venereal disease and h removal
of the conditions which make the
spread of these diseases so easy. The
underworld is organized and deter
mined to regain the hold upon the
young men and women of this State
which it had before the war.
The American program for the COM
batting of venereal diseases consists of
all the worth while methods, squares
with the highest American ideals, is
in its sociological as well as its eco
noInical aspects practical in every de-
tail. and has been on a large scale. The
Federal, State and local health author
tiles are cooperating in this movement
of better health, higher ideals and bet
ter morals.
Your active co-optr1; lion with the
health authorities is essential, if their
is to be realized. Inactivity
your part is acquiescence to the
program. Those financially
interested in the commercialiZed vice
depend largely upon their hope that
the men and women who stand for
high ideals and morality, will
be active.

his gossiping p~arishioners from this
well-chosen text: John came neither
eating bread nor drinking wine, and
We say he hath a devil"
Although she never went to school,
this parsons daughter was by long
odds the cleverest in the entire line of
our presidents wives, her published
letters forming a delightfully."- human
document in our too often unhuman
history. When John joined the fathers
of the republic in the great work of
setting up the most masculine govern
ment the world ever saw, this mother
of the republic had to stay home to
rock the cradle, cook and patch for
four little AdamSes and to tend the
farm. Milking and churning, knitting
and darning, teaching and praying,
toiling and saving, she supported the
family, inspired her husband in his
progress to the presidency, and reared
a son to follow in the fathers foot
steps. To Abigail Adams alone be-
longs the glory Of having been the wife
of one president and the mother Of
another.
In the war, it fell to Adams to do
picket duty in Europe. Congress sent
him to France with a thoughtful warn
ing to put in the bottom of his dis
patch bag plenty of lead or stone or
other weighty substance to sink his
papers. For his own neck no protec-
ton was proposed in event of the
British capturing a signer of the rebel
manifesto of July 4, 1776. Neverthe-
less, he took with him on the perilous
trip his ~ten-year-old son, John Quincy.
On the text voyage, he carried not
only John Quincy, but also his second
son, and they were shipwrecked off the
coast of Spain.
After five long, anxious years of sep
aration from husband and children, the
mother herself sailed to Europe, and
the pioneer American woman to ap-
pear at the Court of st. James was
Abigail, the farmerette of Braintree.
Her presentation costume, according
to her own description, was white lutte

yards long; also ruffie cuffs, treble
