FREE CLINICS FOR
VENEREAL DISEASES

Trenton.-The New Jersey State De
partment of Health is bending every
effort toward the eradication of vene-
real diseases They estimate that one
eighth of all human illness and suirer-
ing is due to gonOrrhea and syphilis.
Since venereal diseases are the great
est single cause for i'll health and SICK
ness, the state has established bu-
reau for the control of venereal dis
eases, which is partially supported by
Federal funds. This bureau is estaD-
fishing or causing to be established
clinics for the free treatment of gohor-
rhea and syphilis at strategic points
throughout the State.
Since gonorrhea and syphilis are
communicable diseases, in order TO
control them or eradicate them 1t is
advisable to get as near the source OF
infection as possible-chat is, to reach
the infected person or carrier. rms
can be accomplished in two ways
first, detention of the infected persons
so that they cannot spread infection;
second, medical treatment of the in
fected persons until they shall have
been rendered noninfectiOus.
Because of the enormous number OF
infected persons and the limited num-
Der of institutions for their detention
isolation of all carriers of venereal
disease is impracticabl> and virtually
impossible.
The solution of the difficulty lies in
treatment. Most cases of venereal dis
ease can be cured, and nearly all cases
can be rendered noninfectious if prop
erly treated.
At the present time there are eight
such clinics in the State of New Jer-
sey, but there should be not less than
twenty-five Every citizen should sup
port the Bureau of Venereal Disease
Control, as it is only by the treating
of every infected Individual until he is
noninfectiOus or cured that these dis
eases can be suppressed. AS long as
the diseases continue to exist they
constitute a menace to every person in
that they are communicable diseases
and may be contracted innocently.
For further information in regard to
the program, the activities and the
aims and purposes of this great health
movement write to the New Jersey Bu-
reau of Venereal Disease Control,

Sin, silk and salvation form a COM
bnation that is working miracles be-
meath the tropic sun of India.
Sin has rocked in the very cradles of
the criminal tribesmen for centuries
That same vicious system of caste
which has sentenced the son of a
weaver to weave and the son of a
storekeeper to keep store has through
ages condemned the son of criminal
tribesman to rustic cattle, pillage and
commit murder.
But now the Salvation Army by using
silk to take the sin out of the "crim" is
bringing about both the material and
spiritual salvation of a people.
These criminal tribesmen, gathered
into settlements by the British govern
ment, were taken in hand by the Sal
vationists, were taught to care for the
mulberry trees, to rear the silk worms,

WHAT THE THRIFT-SAVlNGS
MOVEMENT MEANS
Opportunity to Save and Invest Small
Sums in Profitable and Safe
Government Securities.

Have you ever stopped to think
what the Thr.ft-Savings Movement
really means, or is it still confused in
your mind with war days and with
drives of war-days? Briefly defined,
the Thrift-Savings Movement of the
United States Government is an op-
por:unity given the people to com
mence to want to save, to commence
to save, and to make 1t possible and
easy for them to save.
The government is looking ahead
and it has looked behind, too. In
looking behind, il has taken note of
the fact that very few people, COM
paratively speaking, have managed
their affairs so that poverty in old
age would not be their lot. The main
reason for This is that so few people,
still speaking in a comparative sense,
have learned that Thrift is the good
management of the business of living.
Have you realized that fifty-four peo-
pie out of every hundred are not self
supporting at siXty-five years of age?
They have failed to save in their pro-
ducing days. Or in the language Of
the street, they did not save while
the saving was good" In looking
ahead, the government sees that more
and more people win be "down-and-
cutters" if they do not save for them
selves; it wants it's people to become
prosperous, financially comfortable
and happy.
1t is to help people save, to make
It possible for them to save safely and
to make it possible for the little fel-
low" especially to ge. ahead, that the
government is conducting the Thrift
Savings Campaign and making 25-cent
Thrift Stamps, $500 Savings Stamps
500 Registered Treasury Certificates
and $1,000 Registered Treasury Certif
Gates available to the public at post
offices and banks.
The government wants Its people tC
save for themselves and to save sys
tematically because it is the proper
thing to do. Any thinking man oil
woman can readily see that the happy
person and the happy home are those
/ which are comfortably prosperous an(
which are not forever in the darl
shadow thrown by the wolf scratch
| ing at the door.

VENEREAL DISEASES
NOW REPORTABLE

1t is estimated by the most compe-
tent authorities that the venereal dis
eases, syphilis and gonorrhea, are di-
rectly responsible for one-eighth of all
human illness and suffering.
In order to become convinced of the
truth of this estimate one has only to
visit the various eleemosynary lnstl-
tutions of our country and learn the
reason why each individual has be-
come public charge. He will find
that a considerable proportion of the
inmates of the homes for the blind
the insane asylums, the hospitals, and
prisons, are there because of the raw
ages of venereal diseases. This is suf-
ficient evidence of the tremendous so
cial and economic Importance of these
diseases.
In order that the proper measures
may be instituted to prevent these dis
eases it is essential that their incl
dence and whereabouts be known. OBJ
viously the only means of obtaining
this information is a system of report
ing to some central authority by per
sons cognizant of the facts.
This fundamental principle, which
applies to all ills, must be carried out
in the case of the venereal diseases:
Why Reported.
First.-In order that the carriers
Chose persons who are actively en-
gagged in spreading the disease) may
Ho Il; fn
tious.
Second.-In order that measures
may be instituted to prevent infected
persons from spreading their infection
to others.
Third-That uninfected persons, the
potential victims, may be informed OF
the danger of the infections to which
they are exposed in order that they
may protect themselves.
In accordance with this principle the
United States Public Health Service,
in cooperation with the various State
nationwide campaign for the control
of these diseases.
This program includes, first, the es-
tablishment of free clinics for the in
tensive treatment of carriers second
the detention of carriers until cured
third, the education of the public in
respect to the dangers of venereal dis
eases
Forty-three of the forty-eight states
have already passed laws which pro
vide for the reporting of the venereal
diseases. Legislation is now pending
in the remaining states which, wher
passed, will make the reporting of We
nereal diseases compulsory throughout
the country.
The ultimate efficiency of these laws
will depend upon public opinion. Fol
our own prote ection and for the protec
ton of generations yet unborn we, the
people, must see to it that these laws
are not permitted to become dead let
ters on the statute books, but that they
| are enforced in every detail.

.PROF|TEERINC CASE
AGAINST WOODEN co.
DISMISSED BY MACK

NEW YORK, June 11-Indictments
charging profiteering against the
American Wooden companies of New
York and Massachusetts and VIM. M.
Wood, president of the corporations,
were quashed today by Federal Judge
Mack.
Judge Mack sustained a demurrer
interposed by Charles E. Hughes,
special council for the defense, which
held that wooden goods did not con-
istitute wearing apparel and therefore
did not come within the meaning of
the Lever act.
Judge Mack said wearing apparel
was clearly a necessity, but that con-
gress, by it's amendment of October
%, 1919, to the original Lever act,
clearly had in mind the trade signifi-
cation of what cloth meant.
The court added that although it
held that congress had power to regu-
late distribution of wooden cloth, it
felt that since congress did not broad

wearing apparel to include a bolt
of cloth, the court was unable to find
Gny meaning in the act other than
the general trade use of the term.

Simple! Postal Order System
Must Balance at End of the
Year, Says Henry Deuker

Do you know how Uncle Sam takes
care of money orders? According to
Henry Deuker, of the Richmond post
office, the method is very simple
Applicants first write out a money
order application blank. The clerk
makes out the order from this blank,
hands the applicant two receipts
one to be sent away and the other to
be kept. The clerk keeps one receipt,
which is filed away for three years
The part of the money order sent
away is cashed at the office desig-
nated. No advices are sent from the
Richmond office. however. The prac-
tice was discontinued nine years ago
All regularly written money orders
are honored at postoffices without
question.
No, the postoffice does not go into
the hole by this practice. Deuker ex.
planned that there are % postoffices
near Richmond, in Indiana and Ohio
that send all surplus receipts to Rich
mond. This surplus from the small
offices, which issue many orders but
cash few, is used by the Richmond of
flee to take care of money orders pre-
scented here to be cashed
This practice is used in postoffices
all over the country And it is the
duty of federal auditors and book
keepers to see that the hundreds OF
thousands of money orders issued
and cashed balance at the end of the
year. Some job.

WOMEN MAKE LIVES
OF CLERKS TORMENT;
men GOOD BUYERS

Is there any difference in the diff
Guilty of selling merchandise to male
and female? Many Richmond clerks
were asked this question.
"Of course" said one, men are not
so often cranky, but when they are!
oh, my, but they are cranks." Men
do not go shopping as often as women
and they are therefore sometimes slow
to make up their minds to what they
want, but never, never are they so
persistent in telling a clerk that they
surely have got just what the clerk
said they hadn't, as is the fair sex.
According to well informed clerk,
this is the way they receive informa-
tion about their stock:
Miss Fair Sex: Have you so-in-so?"
Clerk: mo, we are just out"
Miss Fair Sax: But bought some
just few weeks ago"
Clerk: Yes, we had some at that
time, but now it's all gone
Miss Fair Sex: Are you sure?
Maybe you had better ask some clerk
that knows"
Hard Work is Needed.
About this time it takes all of the
courtesy and good nature of an ordin-
airy human to treat the customer with
the proper respect. These people are
called "old hens" by the experienced
store worker, and whenever possible
they are wished" off on to clerks not
very busy in order to save the time
of employees busily engaged.
Another thing which enters into the
sale Of goods at this time is the high
price. People never fail to ask when
is material coming DOWN." The poor
clerk, not knowing any more about it
than you nor l, must give what will
sound like an intelligent answer It's
zone of the hardest parts Of the work.
Don't Know Shirt Size.
Would anyone believe that the en-
terprising business man, who when
consulted about financial matters
seems so shrewd, is at a total loss
when asked the size of his shirt or
socks?
But that's fact if we are to be-
lieve those who deal in those necessi-
ties. They either bring their wife,
who knows more about the clothes
they wear than they do, or trust the
matter to the judgment of a mere
clerk.
Sometimes when they are not guess
ed just right, back they come in a
rage to heap blame upon the man or
woman who misjudged the size These
little matters, according to the clerk,
keep life from getting stale
