LRPERS RECOVERING
THROUGH NEW SPECIFIC
Mo!Okai Patients Decrease Through
Chaulmoogra Oil
Treatment.

The leper settlement on the lslant
of Molokai contains fewer patient:
than at any time in the last hit!
years, according to the statement Of
j. D. McVeigh, superintendent OF the
= colony. The decrease, he says is due
to the treatment with the chaulmoo'
gra oil specific envolved by DR.. A
L. Dean, president of the University
o. Hawaii.
Practically all of tie 4S5 patients
at the colony now are taking the Dean
treatment, Mr.. McVeigh stated. In
commenting upon the popular belief
that the children of lepers are at
ficted with the disease Mr.. McVeigh'
who has been superintendent OF the
Molokai settlement for many years.
said that "both mentally and physi-
cally the children of leprous parents
measure up as we'll, if not better
than those of healthy parents"
"These children are not only nor
NAL, but they also have the advantage
of the training that is given in the
splendidly conducted homes for the
children of lepers throughout the
world"
Permission to purchase 600 pounds
of chaulmoogra oil, from which the
Dean specific is derived, has been CIV
en- by Governor Wallace R. Earring
ton to DR.. F. F. Trotter, president
of the Territorial Board of Health,
in order that the territory's supply
might not be exhausted. DR.. Trotter,
in letter to the governor, pointed
out that DR.. Heiser of the Rookie
feller Foundation announced recently
that the Philippines government
would purchase three tons of the oil
and that this would virtually con-
sumo the world supply.
The Territorial Board of Agrlcul-
ture has established chaulmoogra
plantation at Waiahole, this island,
where several thousand saplings have
been planted, in order that the in
creasing demand for the oil may be
satisfied.

The State Board of Public Welfare

The offices of the State board of
Public Welfare are now located at
1916 Main street, Columbia. This
brings together, under one roof" the
various departments and is no doubt
wise move from an administrative
and economic standpoint. Come to
sec US!
Every citizen of the State of South
Carolina should have some knowledge
of the existing problems, penal and
charitable, and how they can. best
be corrected through the workings Of
the State Board of Public Welfare.
The most practical way to educate
the public is by holding conferences,
and in this work the local commit
tees of the counties OF the state can
be of marked service.
The state has been divided into
twelve districts, according to loca-
ton, in order that neighborly CO.
operation may be perfected, rs fol-
lows: District No. 1-Dillon, Hor-
ry. Marion and Marlboro counties.
District No. 2-Abbeville, Greenwood,
Laurens, Mccormick, and Newberry
counties. District No. 3-Anderson,
Greenville, Oconee and Pickens coun-
tics. District No. 4-Cherokee, Spart-
anburg and Union counties. District
No. 5-Fairfeld, Kershaw, Lexing-
ton and Richland counties. District
No. 6-Chester, Lancaster and York
counties. District No. 7-Berkeley,
Charleston and Georgetown counties.
District No. 7-Clarendon, Lee and
Sumter counties. District No. g.
Bamberg, Barnwell, Calhoun, Dor
chester and Orangeburg counties.
District No. 1O-Allendale, Beaufort,
Colleton, Hampton and Jasper coun-
ties. District No. 11-Aiken, Edge
field and Saluda Counties. District
No. 12-Chesterfeld, Darlington,
Florence and Williamsburg counties.
In the year 1921, five district con-
ferences were held; enough to abso-
lutely prove their usefulness. This
year there should be held a confer
ence in every district in the state,
! under the auspices of, and at time
and place designated by the local
committees. The State Board Of
Public Welfare will render every as

sistance to the local committees in
this work; such rs publicity, pro-
grams, and the procuring of reputa-
BILE speakers.
All local committees are urged to
express themselevs at once as to the
dates and locations preferred for the
holding of these district conferences.
Probably the most successful con-
ference of its kind was the Child We'll
fare Conference held at Charleston on
January 18th, 18th and 18th under
the auspices of the Social Workers
club. Among the many prominent
speakers addressing the conference
were: Mrs. Martha Gibbons, National
Child Labor Committee; Mr.. C. C.
Carstens, director, Child Welfare
League of America, and Rev. Frank
D. Dean, United Laymen's Associa-
ton.
On January the 4th and 5th at
Atlanta a meeting was called for the
creation of an association Of Southern
States Officials Of Public Welfare.
Representatives from five southern
states were present. Administration,
control and economy Of institutions
and social problems were discussed.
This association will establish a great
e. service by the Boards of Public
Welfare to their states. The next
meeting will be held in Columbia in
1922.

as taxed to death, in order to support

Governed To Death.

Protesting a few days ago against
the growth of bureaucracy and the
extension of Federal authority over
the lives of American citizens, Sen
ator Stanley of Kentucky said:
Every business man finds an IN
spector at his elbow, Federal sleuth
a. his heels. Houses are searched,
homes outraged and the public high
ways dappled in the blood of unof-
Tending citizens by a multitude OF
agents and inspectors ignorant of and
Indifferent to the lew Of the land
and tine rights of citizens"
Les. everybody think that Senator
Stanley, who is a Democrat, has al
lowed his Jeffersonian theories Of gov
ernment to warp his judgement it is
worth while to turn to the deliber-
ately expressed opinions of DR..
Nicholas Butler, who is not only a
Republican, but who is Unidentified
with the conservative wing Of his
party.
In a report to the trustees of Co.
lumbia University expressing his OBJ
iections to the proposed Federal bu-
reau for the supervision Of educa-
cation, DR.. Butler used language no
less vehement than that employed by
the senator of Kentucky.
"In the United States we ere, In
fiat defiance of all our proclaimed
principles, building series of bu-
reaucracies that will put to shame
the best efforts of the government
os the Gear of all the Russians when
in the heyday of its glory. We are
surrounded by agents, special agents,
inspectors and spies, and the people
are called upon to support through
their taxes, in harmful and un-Amer-
lean activities whole armies of in
dividuals who should be engaged in
productive industry"
Senator Stanley had described in
this fashion the tendency of the 15,-
900 bills already introduced in con-
gress:
"Nobody escapes. Everything in
the normal, industrial and commercial
world is to be owned, operated, su-
peryised or censored, from the birth
OF a baby to the burial of corpse,
ard the worst is not yet"
The passion for bureauracy and
government regulations which began
under Roosevelt has now lost all sense
of restraint. Outside Of Bolshevist
Russia the American people are the
most government ridden people in the
world, and every session Of congress,
every session of a state legislature,
marks an extention of the system.
Among the indictments against
George III in the Declaration of In
dependence was this: "He has erect
ed multitude of new officers and
sent hither swarms of officers to ha-
rass our people and eat out their
substance" If George III could see
the armies of officers that the Ameri-
can people, under their own govern
ment, have allowed to be imposed up
on them, to harass them and eat out
their substance, he would be aston
ished at his own moderation. What
the father refused to endure the sons
submit to as meekly as a flock OF
sheep.

RED CROSS WORKING
FOR HEALTHIER U. S.
Thousands Aided by Instruction in
Care of the Sick, Food Selec-
tion and First Aid.

How the American Red Cross guides
thousands of persons to health is
shown in a summary of the society's
activities in the health field based
upon the annual report for the last
fiscal year. Through its Nursing
Service, its Home Hygie0 end Care
OF the Sick courses, nutrition classes
First Aid classes, Life-Saving class
es and Health Centers and in numer-
Gus other ways designed to acquaint
masses of citizens with proper meth
DDS of living, the Red Cross ccrried
its message of health into all parts
of the country.
The work of the Red Cross during
the war in its traditional field of
nursing, furnishing the military and
naval establishments Of the nation
with 1887 nurses, is we'll known.
And there are today 37,787 nurses
registered with the American Red
Cross and subject TO call in cEerg-
ency. During the fiscal year, 1851
Red Cr2ss urses we're accepted for
assignment to government service,
1888 by the army and navy and 1,163
by the United States Public Health
Service.
In addition to the nurses enrolled
by the Red Cross for government
service, the Red Cross itself employ
ed a total of 1,34S public health nurs-
es in the United States and Europe.

ployed in the United States, 1887,
while 81 were in foreign service.
