LEPERS RECOVERING THROUGH NEW SPECIF I Molokai Patients Decrease Throug Chaulmoogra Oil Treatment. The leper settlement on the islan ot Molokai contains fewer patient S. than at any time in the last fift years, according to the statement o Im J. D. McVeigh, superintendent of th ^? colony. The decrease, he says is du to the treatment with the chaulmoo gra oil specific envolved by Dr. A L. Dean president of the Universit; of Hawaii. Practically all of the 485 patient at the colony now are taking the Deai treatment, Mr. McVeigh stated. Ii " - commenting upon me pupuia* that the children of lepers are af flicted with the disease Mr. McVeigh who has been superintendent of th< Molokai settlement for many years 6aid that "both mentally and physi cally the children of leprous parent: measure up as well, if not better than those of healthy parents." "These children are not only nor mal, but they also have the advantag< of the training that is given in th< splendidly conducted homes for th( . children of lepers throughout the world." Permission to purchase 600 pounds of chaulmoogra oil, from which the Dean specific is derived, has been given by Governor Wallace R. Farrington 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 a letter to the governor, pointed out that Dr. Heiser of the Rockefeller Foundation announced recently that the Philippines government would purchase three tons of the oil and that this would virtually con ? ? t sume the worm suppiy. The Territorial Board of Agriculture has established a chaulmoogra plantation at Waiahole, this island, where several thousand saplings have been planted, in order that the increasing demand for the oil may be satisfied. 0 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, Senator Stanley of Kentucky said: "Every business man finds an ina spec tor at his elbow, a Federal sleuth at his heels. Houses are searched, homes outraged and the public highways dappled in the blood of unoffendirg citizens by a multitude of agents and inspectors ignorant of and indifferent to the law of the land and the rights of citizens." Les. everybody think that Senatoi Stanley, who is a Democrat, has allowed his Jeffersonian theories of government to warp his judgement it is worth while to turn to the deliberately expressed opinions of Dr Nicholas Butler, who is not oniy a Republican, but who is indentifiec with the conservative wing of his part\. In a report to the trustees of Columbia University expressing his objections to the proposed Federal bu reau for the supervision of educa cation, Dr. Butler used language m less vehement than that employed bj the senator of Kentucky. "In the United States we are, ir flat defiance of all our proclaime< principles, building a series of bu reaucracies that will put to sham< the best efforts of the govemmeni of the Czar of all the Russians wher in the heyday of its glory. We ar< surrounded by agents, special agents inspectors and spies, and the peopli are called upon to support througl thei'- taxes, in harmful and un-Amer ican activities whole armies of in dividuals who should be engaged ii productive industry." . ^ Senator Stanley had described ii this fashion the tendency of the 15, 000 bills already introduced in con gress: "Nobody escapes. Everything ii the normal, industrial and commercia world is to be owned, operated, su pervised or censored, from the birtl of a baby to the burial of a corpse and the worst is not yet." The passion for bureauracy an< government regulations which begai under Roosevelt has now lost all sens< of restraint. Outside of Bolshevis Russia the American people are thi most government ridden people in th< world, and every session of congress every session of a state legislature marks an extention of the system. Among the indictments agains George III in the Declaration. of In dependence was this: "He has erect ed a multitude of new officers an* sent hither swarms of officers to ha rass our people and eat out thei substance." If George III could se< 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 ou their substance, he would be aston ished at his own moderation. Wha the father refused to endure the son: ^ submit to as meekly as a flock o sheep. The American people are in proces: of being governed to death as w< C I as taxed to death, in order to suppo the armies of office-holders who ha h undertaken to regulate them from tl cradle to the grave. What makes i bad matter immeasurably worse, th< seem to have lost all their capaci d for resistance to the ever-widenir s rule of bureaucracy.?New Yoi Y World, f o e Tobacco Grading Bill Passed. i The Tobacco Grading Bill has j '* . last passed the South Carolina Legi ' i lature ami become a law. There hi been a hard fight over this bill f< s the past ten years, but at this mee ^ ing of the legislature all oppositic " practically disappeared. Most of the best farmers for soir time have been "culling" or "picking ' their tobacco before marketing i " This, for all practical purposes is tb ' same as grading. To meet the r< quirements of this bill, the only a< s ditional work will be the tieinj ' Since the boll weevil has made il destructive appearance and the coi ton acreage has been so greatly r< ; duced, all of the tobacco growers wi 1 have ample time in which to put thei tobacco in a more marketable cor ? dition. They will also be able to us their seed cotton houses for pac ' houses. However, it will be well fc every tobacco planter to begin to fig ure now on a storage place for hi 1922 crop. A splendid pack hous ' can be cheaply constructed. A pol ' house, daubed like his curing hous and with a double floor and ceile 1 over head makes an ideal arrange ment. The floor should be eightee inches or two feet from the grounc Rough boards can be used for bot! ceiling and noonng. Almost an outhouse can be easily converted in to a desirable pack house, with bu little cost. It is to be hoped tha the day of handling tobacco in Sout ' Carolina like shucks is past. Th > farmer realized that he was losinj 1 money by taking his tobacco direc from the curing barn to the ware ! house for sale, but could not hel himself. All of the tobacco handled by th co-operative marketing associatio ; would have been graded and tied an; way. A good many farmers who re ' mained out of the association on ac count of this feature, will now doubt less sign up at the first opportunity One of the most prominent feature t of all co-operative marketing is t , put the commodity in the most pre sentable form before offering for salt o UITJU. D1..M CI lie I^au. Mrs. Robert L. Seaman, 56, wh under the name of Nellie Bly has bee for some years one of the best know newspaper writers in the Unite States, died of pneumonia last Fri day morning at St. Marie's Hospita in j Jew York. At the time of her death she wa j a member of the staff of the Evenin Journal. Mrs. Seaman probably was th pioneer woman writer to invade th field of sensationalism, and througl out her life she experienced man unusual adventures. She began wrii ing as a young girl in Pittsburg] signing her own name, Jane Elizabet Pink Cochrane. An editor called he Nellie Bly and she adopted the nam j and had used it ever since, bringin it to New York when she broke int the Metropolitan newspapers field. ^ She wrote under the name for year answering love and household que; tions and in general devoting her pe to articles dealing with factory girl ' corporation scandals and investigj tions of all sorts. She spent a wee ineonn oe.vlni oo au iiiiiiaw vi an mvanv av^iui and wrote an expose that caused man reforms. Her best known feat, hov \ ' ever, was a trip around the world i 1889 to better Jules Verne's eight 1 days. She made the trip in 72 day 6 hours and 11 minutes. She was married in 1895 to Robei L.

S. j ve fie Thousands Aided by Instruction in a Care of the Sick, Food Selec?y tion and First Aid. ty ig How the American Red Cross guides rk 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 Hygie# and Care s of the Sick courses, nutrition classes, is First Aid classes, Life-Saving classes and health Centers and in numer)r . t ous other ways designed to acquaint n masses of citizens with proper methods of living, the Red Cross carried ie its message of .health into all parts of the country. t The work of the Red Cross during ' the war in its traditional field of 16 s_ nursing, furnishing the military and j naval establishments of the nation with 19.877 nurses, is well known. ?. , : And there are today 37,787 nurses t_ registered with the American Red Cross and subject to call in cmergjj ency. During the fiscal year, 1,551 lr Red Cross urses were accepted for assignment to government sen-ice, e 388 by the army and navy and 1,163 k by the United States Public Health Sen-ice. In addition to the nurses enrolled ' by the Red Cross for government I e service, the Red Cross itself employcd a total of 1,348 public health nurse es in the United States and Europe. (l By far the greatest number was employed in the United States, 1,257, n while 81 were in foreign sen*ice. j Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick j ^ classes, giving thorough instruction y in the proper care of the sick in instances where the illness is ot so ^ serious as to require professional t nursing care, during the fiscal year numbered 5,179. A statistical picture e of the Red Cross operations in this ? field follows: New classes formed during year 5,179 p Classes completed during year. 6,299 New students enrolled 101,068 e Students completing course 73,432 n What the Red Cross accomplished y in giving proper instruction through its Nutrition Service is indicated by the following table: . New classes formed during r year 142 s Classes completed during year- 186 0 New students enrolled 2,341 Students completing course __ 2,013 , In addition to the above, a total of 22,006 children were given instruction in the proper selection and preparation of foods. I Through its 260 Health Centers, | 0 the Red Cross reached 90,252 persons. ? n In these Health Centers, 4,015 health ! 11 lectures were given and 780 health J d exhibits held. 1 l" In the United States last year, 75,- ! ^ 432 persons were killed and 3,500,000 | injuried in industrial accidents. To < 18 prevent this enormous waste the Red ' & Cross held 5,100 first aid classes with a total of 104,000 students enrolled. |C m e The State Board of Public Welfare. i * The offices of the State ooard of Public Welfare are >iow located at 1' 1246 Main street, Columbia. This ^ brings together, "under one roof," the !r various departments and is no doubt' ie a wise move from an administrative ^ and economic standpoint. Come to ? see us! Every citizen of the State of South s' Carolina should have some knowledge of the existing problems, penal and n charitable, and how they can best s' be corrected through the workings of the State Board of Public Welfare. The most practical way to educate 11 the public is by holding conferences, and in thi3 work the local committees of the counties of the state can n be of marked service. ^ The state has been divided into s' twelve districts, according to location, in order that neighborly co1 operation may be perfected, as follows: District No. 1?Dillon, Horry. Marion and Marlboro counties. s District No. 2?Abbeville, Greenwood, n Laurens, McCormick, and Newberry S" cAiintios District Kn 3?Anderson. Greenville, Oconee and Pickens counties. District No. 4?Cherokee, Spartanburg and Union counties. District No. 5?Fairfield, Kershaw, Lexingin ton and Richland counties. District 5t No. 6?Chester, Lancaster and York r- counties. District No. 7?Berkeley, jf Charleston and Georgetown counties. District No. 7?Clarendon, Lee and Sumter counties. District No. 9? Bamberg, Barnwell, Calhoun, Dor- j Chester and Orangeburg counties.; District No. 10?Allendale, Beaufort,! e' Colleton, Hampton and Jasper coun- j !<* ties. District No. 11?Aiken, Edge- j :h field and Saluda Counties. District! i- No. 12?Chesterfield, Darlington,1 ct Florence and Williamsburg counties. tn In the year 1921, five district con- \ is ferences were held; enough to absots lutely prove their usefulness. This1 >r year there should be held a confer [f ence in every district in the state,: is; under the auspices of, and at a time s, j and place designated by the local :e J committees. The State Board of . j Public Welfare will render every as sistance to the local committees in this work; such as publicity, programs, and the procuring of reputable 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 conference of its kind was the Child Welfare Conference held at Charleston 011 January 12th, 13th and 14th 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 Association. On January the 4th and 5th at * Atlanta a meeting was called for the m creation of an association of Southern ~ States Officials 0* Public Welfare, g Representatives from five southern B states were present. Administration, s control and economy of institutions | and social problems were discussed, t This association will establish a great- 5 a.< Qorviro Vitr tVi<?
