Women Urge Continuance
of Fight Against Vice

Representatives OF women's or
CARNATIONS totalling 100000 vot-
ing members appeared at the SEMI
annual meeting of the u. 5. Inter
departmental Social Hygiene Board
in Washington to urge the contnu-
ance of this government activity this
coming year, at a cost OF SZZS,OOO.
The Interdepartmental Social Hy-
eiene Board carries on the govern
ment war against vice as II 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 a woman
doctor, DR.. Valera II. Parker is the
active head.
This past year, it was shown at
the meeting, the social hygiene
board saved the government $l,llS,-
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 Tor 1921 is placed at $+,-
100000 In 1920 the cost was S.
$4,000. In 1919 it was Sl5,000,00O.
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 L. 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 di-
ScaSes which the nation is waging
for the protection OF the health OF
its men in uniform.
The money was appropriated in
1920, for medical and educational re-
search for the treatment OF social
diseases and their causes. and for
the establishment OF free medical
clinics for patients unable 10 afford
the cost Of private treatments and
expensive drugs needed 10! the cu.e.

MEASURING FOOD

Not only is it important that the
daily diet should contain foods from
each of the five general groups in
order that the body may receive all
the different substances it needs for
growth, but it is also important that
it should contain enough food value.
The supply OF energy food must be
sufficient to furnish heat for body
warmth and energy for all the body
activities. The amount Of energy or
fuel needed will vary with different
individuals, depending upon age, size
and amount of work or play carried
on By them. The man who works in
an Office and takes very little eXer-
cises does not need as much food as
a man who works actively in the
open air, and the woman who sits
down a great deal Of the time can
get along with a diet Of much lower
food value than a woman who does
all her own homework or is constant
~ on her feet and moving about for
any reason
Tho iUel value Of food is measured
by the caloric. This is the unit
measure Of length or the quart the
unit measure Of capacity. We can
sneak Of so many calories OF heat
Just as We do Of 50 many quarts Of
milk The fuel value OF food is the
amount of heat it will Weld when
burned. We can learn after a time

DOLLAR DAY THIS WEEK

Another Dollar Day will arrive
this week. on Wednesday, 24th
instant. This laudable event has
become a fixed institution i'll Alex
andria. and our merchants have
succeeded in making it memoir
able occasion for the thrifty
housewives and men economically
inclined.
The Gazette has the utmost con-
fidence in the announcements OF
our merchants. and knows from
several years experience that their
prices and offerings of merchan-
disc really signify a saving Of
money. The people from the
country have always flocked to
town ON Dollar Day, in large
numbers, and have spread the It'd
ings to their neighborS on their
return so that this week a larger
influx than ever is confidently eX-
pected.
Watch the Gazette'S advertis-
ing columns tomorrow, and we
predict you will be able to save
money through the reading. A
dollar saved is a dollar earned,
YOU know, and you might as well
add to your income in this way as
any other. In fact, thrift is the

only a pint of butter or sugar to

Protein and carbohydrate have

the total caloric requirement Of the

the amount necessary to furnish adj

What The Body Needs

! The human body is like an engine
Inst as the locomotive needs oil,
coal and water, and wood to keep II
running properly, so the. BODY ue-
mands different kinds OF fuel to per
form its various functions. 1t can.
not possibly subsist on one KIND OF
food alone, and people who contlne
Their diet to one food value are just
as foolish as the engineer who tries
TO run his machine on coal alone
without oil or water.
The body needs one kind OF 1000
TO build up tissues and another KIND
TO furnish energy for physical eX-
ercise. 1t must have water to carry
away waste materials and regulate
the body temperature, and 1t must
have mineral matter to build up the
teeth. bones, and body fluids. 1t
demands regulatory foods, such as
cellulose and the fibre of vegetables
and fruits, to stimulate the dlges-
tive processes, and it cannot grow or
develop properly without substances
called vitamins which are contained
in certain foods.
For building materials the body
needs chiefly protein and different
kinds of mineral matter. Protein,
which contains nitrogen, is used IN
building flesh and muscles and IS an
essential constituent of every cell
in animals and plants. Lime, iron,
and phosphorus are some of the MI
neral matters which enter largely IN
to the tissues and fluids of the body.
Lime is especially needed for bones
and teeth, iron for blood, and phos-
phorous for every tissue of the body
To keep up the life processes, the
tissues and fluids must be provided
with various substances, including
other mineral matters and some re-
Gently discovered substances called
vatamins. Small amounts of these
suffice, but these small amounts are
very important. Ricketts,, scurvy, and
certain other diseases are believed to
be due to lack of some of these sub
stances, and some obscure forms OF
i'll health might probably be traced
to similar cause.
The body gets its fuel mainly from
starch and sugar, called carbohy-
drates. and from fat. 1t also uses
protein as fuel, but since nothing can
take the place of protein as build
ing material and since protein is an
expensive food substance, it is
wasteful to supply more than is
needed for this main purpose. While
carbohydrates and fats cannot serve
the body as protein does, they are
Just as good for fuel; indeed pound
of fat will yield two and one fourth
times as much energy as d pound Of
protein or carbohydrate.

mind that certain vegetables, such
as lettuce, celery, cauiflower, as
paracus, cabbage, and the like have
very low caloric value and an or
binary serving Of ore Of these does
not come anywhere near 100 calories,
while certain other foods nave a
very high caloric value and one serv-
ing probably represents as much as
200 caloris or even more.

LAW FIXING MARRIAGE ACE
FOUND UNCONSTITUTIONAL

TRENTON, March pa section
of the ctNpassed by the 1921 legis-
lature raising the 6 of consent for
marriage on the part of females
from sixteen to eighteen was de-
clared unconstitutional in an opinion
by Chancellor Walker just handed
down. The act was sponsored by
Mrs. Jennie G. Van Ness, of Essex.
The particular section annullei
provides that every marriage con-
tracted by "a couple in violation of
the terms of the act shall be pun
ishable as a misdemeanor. The
chancellor holds that this section is
void because, it violates the constitu-
ton in that its title embraces more
than one subject. Governor Ed
wards vetoed the measure as uncon-
stitutional, but it was passed by the
1921 legislature over his head.
The opinion was written in the
case of Mrs. Elizabeth LanniAg, of
this city, seventeen years old, who
sought to annul her marriage to
Lewis Lanning, also of Trenton. She
~petitioned the court for the appoint
ment of a solicitor. under the terms
of the Van Ness act.
"Rendering void a marriage" said
Chancellor Walker, otherwise valid.
cannot, l think. be held to be pun
ishment for a crime-not even the
crime of contracting the particular
marriage, because the innocent party
to it. that is the party without Grim
inal intent, might o desire to have
it annulled."

Council to Talk Over Details
of Main Street Project
Also Sewer Action

METUCHEN, March 29:-At the
next session of the borough council
which is to be held next Monday
night a considerable portion of the
time will be taken up i'll pushing the
detail work in connection with the
north Main street paving project,
which is to be done Jointly by the
borough and county authorities.
The bid of Nj. Irving Demarest. Of
Sewaren, of S~27,562.93, which was
accepted and approved by the free
holders, will come formally before
the council for acceptance, after
which the ordinances for notice OF
intention of doing the work Will lie
introduced as well as II ordinances
pertaining to the work.
Definite action will also probably
be taken in determining just how
the paving of the centre of the road
will be accomplished. This portion
of the work is to be done by the
trolley under their fran
chise, but under their plea of power
ty the centre portion of the road will
probably go unpaved until the coun-
Gil determine on ways and means
for getting the work done
1t has been expected that the
for the proposed sewer sys-
tem would be before the body for
consideration at that time, but as
will not be presented to the
board of health until the fol-
night the matter will be
held up for some time.
A delegation from the chamber
of will appear before the
council with the request that a spe-
cial meeting be arranged for later
in the month at which time the
plans might be considered, thereby
the project.
The sewage disposal problem is
the first big n to receive the solid
support of the chamber which was
instrumental in getting the subject

last fall, and every effort is to be
by that body to get construc-
ton work under way at the earliest
