Women Urge Continuance
of Fight Against Vice

Representatives Of women's or
CARNATIONS totalling 100000 vot-
ing members appeared at the scmi-
annual meeting of the L. S. Inter-
departmental Social Hygiene Board
in Washington to urge the continu-
ance of this government activity this
coming year. at cost of $225, 900.
The InterdepartInental Social Hy-
gicnc Board carries on the govern
nlcnt war against vice as it affects
the health OF the men in the army
and navy. The secretaries of War,
the Navy and the Treasury, and the
surgeons general OF the army, navy
and public health service are men,
bers of the board, of which woman
doctor, DR.. Valera H. Parker is the
active head.
This past year, it was shown at
the meeting, the social hygiene
board saved the government Sl,ll8,-
600. This is figured from the cost
of hospital treatment for men who
contract diseases through promiscu-
Gus sex relations. The cost of these
diseases for 1921 is placed at S4,-
100000. In 1920 the cost was S.
$4,000. In 1919 it was $l5,000,000.
During the war period it was ST.
100000.
The rates for social disease in the
army and navy have been cut from
81 per 1000 men per year to 81, due
to the closing of red light districts
near army and navy stations. The
rate among the U. S. troops in
Europe where vice openly exists, is
about l65 per 1000 men.
About 100000 OF government
funds remains to the credit of vari-
GUS universities and State Boards of
Health, applicable to the continu-
ance OF the fight against social d.
seases which the nation is waging
for the protection of the health Of
Its men in uniform.
he money was appropriated in

MAIR-RAISING experiences
OF this type are pleasant, but
woe to any other person try
ing to pat down this young mans
couture while it is in this condi-
ton! Each hair indicates flow of
static electricity which, while CIV
ing the man in the chair a deep
seated, pleasant muscle massage,
would shock anyone trying to touch
him. The fact that electricity can
be applied effectively and at the
same time pleasantly never fails to
surprise new patients in the electro
therapy department of The Recon-
struction Hospital Of New York
City, where this picture was taken.
Static electricity, produced by
several revolving parallel glass
plates in a glass case, is collected
by metallic brushes and is dis
charged through two poles. This
form of current gives prompt re-
suits in the treatment OF sprains,
strains and inflammation of joints,
relieves muscular spasm and deep
seated pain by breaking up minute
adhesions. Static electricity has a
soothing action. 1t is no uncommon
sight at The Reconstruction Hos
pital to see a patient peacefully
sleeping in a chair while being
treated with electric current.

hair of the man pictured, is only
one form of static current, the
others being static brush discharge
