MAYOR COLE SOME
'SKEETER HOUND

This mayor of Conway is getting to
be some skeeter hound" When it
comes to locating hidden mosquito
breeding places, when he can't point
'em in the grass or weeds he trees
'em.
SO successful has been the cam
paign against the pesky insects here
this year, that whenever a citizen
hears or feels mosquito he tells
Mayor Cole about it. Two cases were
reported a few days ago, one from
Silas Conway and the other from DR..
{. j. Greene. The most thorough in
spection had failed to reveal any
breeding place around Mr.. Conway S
home, but the mosquitoes were there
and the mayor went down to see about
it. He was just about to give it up
when he happened to glance up into
q large tree and saw a suspicious look
ing place. A ladder was obtained and
there in the forks of the tree was a
rottened-out hollow filled with rain
water and alive with wrigglers. This
led to the discovery of similar breed
ing place in tree on DR.. Greene
premises.
Besides absolutely stopping the
breeding Of mosquitoes in the streams
leading away from the septic disposal
tanks south of the city limits, where
billions Of them have been produced
every year, the oil drip tanks are en-
tlrely preventing the unpleasant odor
OF the discharge in the bitches, Mayor
Cole said today. At present the tanks
are allowed to drip only once every
five days, this being sufficient to pre-
vent mountaineering, and the graf
flying discovery was made that for
two or three days thereafter there
was no offensive odor. The mayor
said a cheap and effective means of
abolishing a nuisance has thus been
deyeloped.

SERMON
A POLITICAL ONE

Like the negro Jim in the old song,
who got into trouble by thinking
when they called for gin they called
my name the congregation of Pleas
ant Valley church were apparently
under the impression that they were
listening to a political sermon Sur
day. The preacher took for his text
the exploits of Gideon of old. Prom
inently seated in the audience was
Prof. j. r. Giddens, candidate for
county treasurer, who tells the story
in the following communication:
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
A candidate has his ups and
DOWNS" When passing Pleasant Val
ley on yesterday, | thought | would
get my mind off of my political cam
paign, at least on the Sabbath day,
and hear good oldfashioned sermon.
A large congregation was present. |
went into the church, took my seat
in the pulpit behind the preacher.
But the preacher continued my
speech-making much better than
could, If | were the man to whom he
alluded. HIS brilliant discourse was
about the brilliant military campaign
waged by Gideon against his enemies.
| sat with my head down. But oh.
the preacher mentioned the name Of
"GIaeon' with so much emphasis, and
SO often. AT one time | ventured to
raise NV head and saw tho heavy
black eyes of a lady fastened upon
me. l turned my head and felt guilty
After dismission an old brother said
that the eyes of all were fastened on
me during the sermon, and that doubt
less some thought that | was the man
alluded to by the preacher. | told
the preacher to tell them that it was
the other fellow, and not |, and | did
not wait to hear the next sermon.
After dinner | fled the realm"

DISEASES
NOW REPORTADLE

It is estimated by the most compe-
tent authorities that the venereal dis
eases, syphilis apdrgonorrhea. are di-
reetly responsible for oneeighth of all
human illness and snfferlnx. 81
In order to become c0fpinced OF the
truth of this estimate one has only CO
visit the various zeleemosynary insti-
tutions of our country and learn the
reason why each individual has be-
come a 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-
icient 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
denee and whereabouts be known. OBJ
viously the only of obtaining
this information is a system of report
ing TO some central authority by per-
SOIlS COSulLull u lhe ldClSs
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
be discovered and rendered n~oninfec-
tious.
Second.=In order that measures
may be instituted to prevent infected
persons from spreading their infection
TO others.
Third.-That unaffected persons, the
potential victims, may be informed of
the danger of the infections TO which
hey are exposed in order that they
may protect themselves.
In accordance with this principle the
United States Public Health Service.
n cooperation with the various State
Boards of Health. is now conducting a
nationwide campaign for the control
of these diseases.
This program includes, first, the es-
adjustment of free clinics for the in
+eHsive 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, when
passed, will make the reporting of We
aereal diseases compulsory throughout
he country.
The ultimate efficiency of these laws
ill depend upon public opinion. For
3ur own protection, and for the protec-
ion of generations yet unborn we, the
'eople, must see to it that these laws
re not permitted to become dead let
ers on the statute books, but that they
re enforced N every detail.

CLINICS FOR
vEnEREAL DISEASES

Trenton.-The New Jersey State De-
partment of Health is bending every
effort toward the eradication of enc
real diseases. They estimate that one
eighth of all human illness and suffer
ing is due to gonorrhea and, syphilis.
Since ~yenereal 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 v%enereal 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 1t 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 W ways
first, detention of the infected persons
50 that they cannot spread infection
second, medical treatment of the in
it&i1a 5OAiS 1t ivy IL AN
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 impractical. and virtually
impossible.
The solution of the difficulty lies in
treatment. Most cases of ~venereal dis
ease can be cured, and nearly all cases
AN 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 menac 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 Blu
reau of Venereal Disease Control,
