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 suffer
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 a bu-
reau for the control of venereal dis
eases, which is partially supported by
Federal funds. This bureau is estab-
fishing or causing to be established
clinics for the free treatment of gonor-
rhea and syphilis at strategic points
throughout the State.
Since gonorrhea and syphilis are
communicable diseases, in order to
control them or eradicate them it is
advisable to get as near the source of
Infection as possible-that is, TO reach
the infected person or carrier. This
can be accomplished in two ways
first, detention of the infected persons
30 that they cannot spread infection !;
second, medical treatment of the in
'ected persons until they shall have
been rendered noninfectious.
Because of the enormous number OF
infected persons and the limited mum
Der of institutions for their detention
isolation of all carriers of v%enereal
disease is impractical, and virtually
impossible.
The solution of the difficulty lies in
treatment. Most cases of venereal dis
ease Il 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
n~oninfectious 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 the activities and the
aims and purposes of this great health
movement write to the New Jersey Btu
reau of Venereal Disease Control:

Confesses Attempted Murder


j.. p. Bryson, on Thursday of last
weeAgave himself up to the author
tiles at Salem to answer a charge of
attempted murder. His victim was
Antonio Piamonto, who has been an
inmate of the Salem County Memorial
Hospital since July II. Piamonto
boarded with his sister at Penns
Grove, and on the night of July II
was visited by three men who demand
ed his money. He refused them and
was thrown into the street and shot
in the breast and beaten. When his
sister went to his rescue she, too, was
badly beaten.
Acting on advice given him in a let
ter from one one who knew Bryson.
the Under Sheriff went to Philadel-
phia and located the negro and arrest
ed him with the aid of the Philadel-
phi4 police.
On Monday Brown went to Trenton
for requisition papers and from there
to Harrisburg and arrived in Salem
with his man on Tuesday.
At the police headquarters Bryson
told the officers who were with him
on the night in question and one of
these men has also been arrested.

Salem County Tobacco and Sorghum

The Salem Sunbeam announces that
A. W. Fengenbush in Salem has some
tobacco plants four and a half feet
high growing finely. AS tobacco is
grown in Connecticut, Pennsylvania,
and Ohio, the question is asked why
is not more grown in South Jersey.
During and after the Civil War
when tobacco and sugar could not be
had from the Southern States consid-
cradle tobacco and sorghum were
grown in Salem County. 1t was dur
ing those years the growing of tobacco
was begun in Pennsylvania, Connec-
ticut and Ohio and proved so prof.
table that it was continued.
Those old residents of sixty years
and longer will remember fields of to-
bacco in Upper Penns Neck. The late
Daniel V. Summerill had a field Of it
and it took his and his neighbors crib
house and wagon house lofts to dry
it in. The heavy dews and fogs were
too frequent to get it dried properly
to make it most saleable.
Some sorghum was also grown.
We remember the late James S. Lay
ton had several acres of it and the
late Samuel S. Thompson had a mill
to grind the juice out of the stalks
which have the appearance of corn
stalks. The sweet juice was put in
to large watts and fire put under them
to evaporate the water. A jug of corn
Juice to put on the bread and griddle
cakes took the place of sugar, molass-
es and candy.
Speaking of candy, that was a rare
article. A few mint sticks and our
balls at the Sunday School picnic and
a few candy toys at Christmas was
the sum total of a child's luxurious
sweetness, but when the boys could
get the pith Of sweet cornstalks to
chew it was a pleasing supplement to
green apples in August.
More profitable crops can be grown
in this region than tobacco and sorg-
hum. Those were the days of the
big Jersey water melons and Jenny
Lind cantaloupes, which gave a supply
of sugary sweetness which equaled the
foods of the gods, before American
tobacco and corn were known.
