NEED OF FREE CLINICS
FOR VENEREAL DISEASES

The need of free clinics in the
smaller cities of the State for the
treatment of venereal diseases has
been conclusively demonstrated in
Plainfield, N. ]. After a brief educa-
tional campaign of lectures and the
distribution of pamphlets the number
of treatments was increased from 105
in July to 100 in September. The New
Jersey State Department of Health is
endeavoring to establish similar elm
les at strategic points throughout the
State.

PRINTERS INK
%pROPHYLACTIC

Trenton. - Somewhere, sometime,
someone made the sage ~bservation
that the judicial use of printers INK
might prove as useful as medicine IN
the prevention Of communicable DIS
eases.
If not statistically accurate, 1t is
certainly worthy OF comment that pub
licity. directed toward education, mas
been a prime factor and most usetul
ally in lettering living conditions from
a health standpoint. 1t has been price
less in sanitation education, for 1t
first taught the public the necessity
of drainage and sewerage; that nles
and mosquitoes were the CHIEF car
riers of several e~ver-present commu-
nicable diseases, and it has taught the
public, or a great portion of it, TO
insist on pure foods.
At first newspapers hesitated 10
touch the subject of sanitation, pest
houses, flies and mosquitoes, because
the editor feared it was not news.
Experiment proved there was no big
ger element of news anywhere than
something that concerned every one
of his readers intimately-the public
health.
There can no longer be room for
doubt that every reader of a newspa-
per and every good citizen is vitality
interested in %prolonging his chance
for living a greater number of years.
That is the reason that New Jersey
newspapers have taken up the fight
for the eradication of venereal dis
eases and are cooperating with the
United States Public Health Service,
New Jersey State Department OF
Health, in a State wide educational
campaign urging the adoption of prop
er control legislation, the closing Of
houses of prostitution, the segrega-
ton and compulsory treatment of the
diseases until they are no longer a
menace to the public.
1t is a new discussion for the public,
for until the drafting of millions for
the army revealed the terrific preva-
lence of gonorrhea and syphilis in
civil life the twin evils were secrets
to everyone except the medical profess
sion, and because statistics were not
available physicians had only a vague
idea of the high prevalence,
The army experience was startling.
1t convinced President Wilson, his
cabinet and Congress that false mod
esty could no longer shield n of the
greatest dangers to Americas health,
for it was realized then, as now, that
ignorance and secrecy were largely
responsible for the condition that ex,
posture and publicity would bring re-
form.
This is actually happening. Tren-
ton and the State of New Jersey are
treating venereal diseases quite as
openly and frankly as an epidemic OF
smallpox, and quite as effectively
And that is the only way. The public
must realize that gonorrhea and syph.
Ills are names for communicable dis
eases instead of crimes and that the
fight for their eradication is not q
private affair of the Public Health
Service and the New Jersey Bureau OF
Venereal Disease Control, but con.
Germs every American vitality.

Both for the organization that gives
aid and relief to the poor and for the
poor themselves, the high cost of living
has been a troublesome factor in re-
cent months. Money does not go far
these days, but there's no n in the
world who can get more worthwhile
work out of a dollar than can the Sal
vationists. In this country they gave
away $780, 1877 meals in the twelve
month ending last September 80, and
provided 371,334 meals besides at ap-
proximate cost. They supplied free
beds for 1,181,5 SAT night lodgings and
1,49S,S87 at a merely nominal charge.
And in addition to all this and to all
that was done for thousands In the
Army institutions they gave Temporal
relief to 7O9,351 persons.

When Bobby Michacls, who is con-
structed on the plan OF a beanpole.
strips for action the onlookers get the
impression that a heavy gust of wind
would blow him out of the ring. But
when he begins boxing he discloses the
fact that he Is a remarkably strong
bow for his size and that he can stand
much rough work. Ills recent twelve
round tussle with Tommy Noble was
a grueling affair, and Michacls was
hit on the jaw with considerable force
many times. Yet he was on his feet
at the close and fighting with much
spirit
Mlchaels has a heavy punch with his
left: his right also is dangerous. and
as soon as he gains bit more expert
ence he win make all the men OF his
weight step lively.
Mobiles advantage in ring experience
was the only thing that enabled him
TO zen the verdict over the slim East
slider. Michacls staggered Noble many
times. but owing tc the New Yorker $
faulty Judgment as 10 distance and a
tendency to telegraph his blows, the
Briton escaped serious damage
III Nichaels could be handled by an
expert who would teach him more
about boxing, he would be dangerous
man AS he fills out he will go into
the lightweight class. for he scales III
as he stands.

The scholastic cross country season

hill and dale contests for high school
boys was decided over the short course
In Van Cortlandt Park. More than
ninety runners. representing every high
school in every borough In New York
city. competed. All ran over course i
shade over two miles. Group rules gov
erned the series--that is to say, two or
more teams participated in four heats
or races team and individual honors
going to the successful performers in
each. The several groups were started
at intervals of two minutes. and for
more than an hour the hardy young har-
iiers speeded over the greater part Of
the A. A. ". championship course. The
trail included the golf links and Gran
berry Hill and much soggy turf. De-
spite the stiff course all the runners
finished In remarkably good condition.
Team honors went to representatives
OF Stuyvesant. Morris. Evander Childs

worthy individual performance was
credited TO J.. Gentle OF Stuyvesant. who

many sources. including the South. Llv-

dalton by disappointed local longs. who
had bought the market for a turn. For

British labor situation. At its lowest

Prices were unchanged to 80 points

soon after the call. with covering by

FISHING CRAFT TO

Schooner Esperanto of

GLOUCESTER, Mass, Oct. 16.-The fsh-

ago, was selected to-day as the vessel
that will represent American fishermen
IN the challenge race with the Nova
Scotia schooner Delawanna, queen or

that the challenge of the Canadians

Fotonpew Fisheries Company decided to

few lighter sails that her skipper may

AIRY on a trip to the banks Instead
OF catch of fish with which to race
home she will carry inside ballast only
and her skipper and his crew will be

Gloucester on fishing trips.
Gloucestermen to-day discussed the
race confidently. but with an apprecia-

the Nova Scotian shipbuilders for their
soft-wood craft
The race will be over a course forty
miles long, which has been marked out

COTTON GOODS REVIEW.

Cotton goods markets continued last
week dull and weak. with price declines
running far beyond anything ever known
in the history OF the trade. AS low as
10c was accepted for 3S1a inch 64x60s
that sold as high as 26c. In April.
A new price Of zoe. on Fruit of the
Loom bleached muslins, which IS 20c. a
yard down from the high price in agents
hands during this year. was announced
yesterday. Hope "A muslins were cut
TO 17lac. a yard, the top price having
been SIC. early in the year.
1t is expected that large printers OF
percales and prints will abandon the
policy Of protection on their goods. and
wide open market when new prices
are finally decided on, but which may
not be until later this month, is pre-
dicted. One line OF denims at 32kc..
