 If every case of early syphilis were discovered and treated. this menace to public health could be controlled and. within a decade or two, virtually eliminated. Doctors alone can make but little headway unless syphilis victims are fully in- formed and voluntarily seek medical aid either in the physicians private office or. if unable to. pay in clinics. Newspapers, magazines, radio sta tions and other public information facilities are rendering inestimable service to mankind in giving out this vital series of messages.

TEIs McLggEs PRNTERs

That a little knowledge is a dan geTous thing, was brought out in a circular letter received by the Sen tinel this week from an organization founded last April under the name of the Printers Evangelical Insti- ute of Los Angeles, for the purpose of carrying the Gospel to printers everywhere. At the bottom of one page was printed the familiar Bib Hcal verse of John. 3:16 under the heading, This Includes Printers. To A pertinent paragraph of the Insti- tute's Illuminating message reads as follows:
 Recently someone asked the question Why are there so few Christian printers?" One man an swered. T suppose because they all started as devils ''. Though the printer has given to the world the printed Bible, yet many a printer sits in darkness, bound by Satan's captive chain. Though the print shop is not very conducive to Christian living, it is still true that Where sin abounded there did grace much more abound" In most print shops there is more than a Hell-box to re- mind one of Hell, and very little to remind one of Heaven. So it is our purpose to better these conditions. |"
 The message closed with a re- quest for the names of printers who wished the prayers of the faithful.
 The Institute is quite right ln saying there is more in most print shops than a Hellbox to remind one of Hell and that these good people are ignorant of the fact that the Hellbox is merely a container for broken and worn out type and print ing equipment, is beside the point The further fact that some printers start as devils and never progress from that classification is also be- side the point.
 That which matters is that prin> ters can be employed in a craft re- Quiring high intelligence and skill, can contend with day long annoy ances. combat the resultant nerve exhaustion and be the fine citizens they are. Outside the shop they rare ly meet anyone who has the slight est conception of the demands of their work. They need the prayers of the Printers Institute, without doubt, and 1t will probably touch their hearts that this group of evangellsts have decided that the great gospel message of John really includes printers!"

HEALTH RECORDS

(This is the third of a series
 of articles released by the Ter
 ritorial Department of Healthy
 How prevalent is syphilis2" An aroused public is starting to ask this question of health officers They seek to answer 1t in under standable terms. and many have found a graphic formula. They com, pare the number of cases of syphilis with those of other diseases more familiar to the public. -
 In describing a recent year s health record. for example a State health official said. During the year there were twice as many new infections with syphilis as were re- ported of scarlet fever or tuberculo- sis. four times as many as of dipn theria. typhoid fever, smallpox and infantile paralysis together
 This widespread prevalence of so virulent a disease illustrates wlty syphilis ranks high fl not actually first among the causes of death. And it is to cut down this unnecessarily high death rate that health leaders are urging prompt recognition and prompt treatment of early syphilis. In the words of Doctor John Fl. Stokes, a leading syphilologist Of the University of Pennsylvania and for many years a consultant of the U. S. Public Health Service, Quick i, recognition of early syphilis is the hope of the afflicted and the tese of the physicians skill Early identification not only makes it pos sible 10 stop transmission, but every hour counts tward a cure"
 How can syphilis be recognized Answering this question Doctor Stokes says, The first sign of the disease is usually an unobtrusive. Of ten painless. moist spot of sore ap- bearing on the genitals or lips. or in the mouth or throat, from ten tc thirty days after exposure. This h. itial lesion. or chancre. is rarely conspicuous; sometimes it does not appear at all. and in women may be totally out of sight"
 By use of a "dark-field' micro scope. an examination of serum from this early sore will disclose the spir- al germs of syphilis. If this is done before the blood test becomes posi- tive, "cure is a matter of nearly 1ol percent certainty" Delay is danger ous. Every day that elapses between the time of infection and the time when treatment is started lessen: the chances of cure. This does not mean that nothing can be done fol patients in the later stages. It doei mean, however, that reasonably prompt and complete cure depends on prompt discovery and the promp' start of adequate treatment. Surely with syphilis, "a stitch in time saYei l nine"

Her clothes are so unobtruSive
