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.

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

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

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. Seaman, a wealthy manufacture
j almost twice her age. She inherite
his fortune when he died fifteen yeai
later but lost much of her money i

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.

^ classes, giving thorough instruction
y in the proper care of the sick in
instances where the illness is ot so

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
