There will be q general State super
visor who will work with the nurses
and who will also be director over
them. :.
Throughout the State six doctors
will be placed at strategic points.
Nurses may arrange for clinics
which will be a great help In the
work.
Dr.. n. E. Hitchcock Of the State
Department OF Health took for his
subject, Work Of the Public Health
Service" He said that the matter
Of dining venereal diseases was re-
cording them. It is first getting tho
help of the physician, then the drus
clerk and then the nurse IN helping
in the work. The patient is perfect
" safeguarded: There is no public
ity in connection with the work.
The State department has no curtos-
ity to know who he is. All they have
is the number which the physician
sends them to keep account OF tho
case. But If the person having the
venereal disease becomes incorrig-
ible and refuses to have the treat"
ment then he is placed under quar-
antine. The State will still protect
him but they will see that he re-
ceives the proper treatment.
There is no injustice, no hardship
for the patient. The State Depart
ment Of Health is anxious for the
time to arrive when the patient Will
understand and appreciate what -
being done for them. Information
received in connection with the
cases is always guarded very care
fully and the name Of the person
who sends the information Is never
divulged. DR.. Hitchcock says that
he writes personally to the patients
in the most tactful way possible.
These people have got to bel taken
care of. The law has no jurisdiction
over cases when they are no longer
communicable. So IL a patient Is
placed in an institution and his time
has expired and II he is not yet
cured he is to remain there until he
is cured.
Inc nurses gained IIuCH AIOAA lhO

though he was handicapped with a
bad cold he told them some very VI
tai points in connection with his
work that was Of assistance to them.

Confronted with an embarrassment Of riches, the
West Virginia Democracy yesterday disposed of the
matter in happy manner by endorsing, Ambassador
Davis for the presidential nomination at the suggestion
of Governor Cornwall who in months has been
giving the Harrison county man hard run for the
honor of being the West Virginia fayorite son at San
Francisco. In spite of the appearance Of spontaneity
in the proceedings at Parkersburg yesterday there is
in 1t ample evidence that Colonel Watson gone
cut OF politics and that Watson crowd has put some
decidedly heavy ones oyeron the smooth Mr. Chiffon
in the past few weeks. The orderly functonng Of the
