was exceedingly low. Accordingly, he
encouraged group of farm women 10
organize the Dayton Egg circle. with a
secretary treasurer. who was also the
business manager.
They adopted standard trade mark.
Each egg was stamped with the nuno
Der OF the member rs well as the
trade mark, and arrangements were
provided on each farm for producing
infertile eggs. Each member agreed
to gather the eggs twice daily and fol-
low instructions regarding the care
and marketing of them. The aSSocia-
ton had 10 members to begin with.
and they had difficulty in getting two
cases Of eggs a week.

Late ntuiterS also mott rapidly as a
rule. while early mOlters mott slowly.
Therefore, save the hens that have not

the great expense necessary to receive
proper treatment. This has been OBJ
waited by the establishment of govern
ment clinics.
Nenereal diseases have been spread
and are being spread through prostitu-
ton, and the belief that confluence is
incompatible with good health has had
a great influence in the spread of these
diseases.
Until quite recently there have been
no laws requiring venereal diseases to
be reported, and health authorities
have not known how many people have
been infected, where they were or
whether they were exposing other peo-
pie to the diseases or not. Not until
these conditions have been entirely re-
moved will it be possible to control
these diseases and ultimately to eradi-
cate them.
Every person interested in better
health and better economic and so
cial conditions should inform himself
of the menace of venereal diseases.

he is on the rim of the world. Some of
the turns are so sharp it is impossible
to see 20 feet ahead, and We seem to
be perilously near the jumping off
place. We wonder if it is safe to lean

the trip is a safe one, providing our
driver has better nerves than our own.
All too soon we reach the outskirts
of Baguio, a city among the clouds,
and are rather surprised at the modern
city we find it to be. In ten years Ba-
guio has grown from village of huts
to the now justly famed mountain re-
sort of the Philippines, sometimes call
ed the Philippine Simla. 1t is I'M
doubtedly destined some day to become
a large city.
Baguio ranges in elevation from
4,500 to $500 feet and is surrounded
practically on all sides by high noun.
tain ridges and "hogsbacks" towering
into the skies at a height of almost
5000 feet
Aside from the scenery, which is
noteworthy, the great blessing of Ba-
guio is its temperate climate, which is
indeed a godsend to those impoverish-
ed by the tropical temperatures of the
lowlands. Not only is the mountain
air rich in ozone, but it has been DEM
onstrated to be extraordinarily free
from germs of all kinds.
Each year during the hot season the
school teachers of the entire archipela-
go are enabled by the government to
spend a month at the teachers camp
in Baguio for recreation and confer
ence on school work. American army
officers and their families also go to
Baguio for the hot months.
And now that your traveloguer has
you in Baguio, he believes he win leave
you there, for there are many interest
ing side trips to take, and, besides,
Baguio is the most delightful place for
vacation in the entire Orient.

Inc great majority of druggists in

WHY VENEREAL
DISEASES EXIST

Trenton.-Inquiries are often made
of the Bureau of Venereal Disease Con-
troll as to why the venereal diseases,
vonorrhea and syphilis, continue to ex-
ist today if medical science is able to
cure them and presumably eradicate
.bem Venereal diseases are more
prevalent than any other class of dis
eases because of the great secrecy
which has been thrown about them
They have been considered diseases
of vice" or different" or "secret" dis
eases or as a punishment for sin.
Infected individuals have very care
fully guarded the existence of these
diseases and sought to keep even their
friends ignorant of their infection. As
a result the great masses of people
have not been aware of how prevalent
these diseases are. Few people even
today realize that gonorrhea is more
prevalent than any other disease, ex-
cent measles. Because of this igno-
rance of the prevalence of the diseases
and the stigma attached to them in
lfected persons have sought treatment
from either a prescribing druggist or a
quack doctor.
Prescribing druggists, who have sold
proprietary medicines for the treat
ment of these diseases, have often Civ
en- satisfaction to the patient, who,
after longer or shorter period of
treatment, find that the early symp-
toms disappear However, in practi-
cally no case was the disease cured.
The individual may later have married
and infected his wife.
Ouack doctors and advertising spe-
cialists are interested only in the finan-
cial remuneration, and the length of
treatment is determined by the guilt
bility and Willingness of the patient to
hand over the money. Many of these
advertising doctors are not able to
diagnose syphilis. and some are not
