THE SOCIAL EVIL QUESTION
Dr. Bartholomew, representing the
state board of health as well as tho
federal board of health, met with tho
city council and heads of various
civic societies and churches Tuesday
citing and discussed tho social ovll.
Tho Doctor was introduced by Mayor
Streltz and gavo a talk on vonoreal
diseases, and while ho did not quote
statistics, ho said the prevalence of
thoso diseases was such as to bo a
menace to tho country. Last year tho
physicians of Nebraska alone report
ed that they had treated over 5,000
cases; thore were probainy many
cases not reported. Dr. Bartholomew
recited tho nature of tho diseases, tho
effect upon the system and some of
the ways of contracting them. For
Instance: A syphlletic street fruit
dealer blew his breath on apples and
then polished them with a rag. Two
small girls each purchased and ate
an apple from his stand and con
tracted syphilis from a germ the fruit
dealer had blown on the apple and
had not wiped off. This was one of
tho many ways the diseases might be
contract!!.
The Doctor recommended that a
hygienic committee for the city bo
Rppointed and that a social worker
bo employed, tins social worker to
act in conjunction with the physicians
of the city in ascertaining victims of
tho diseases. lie also advocated the
establishment of a public clinic for
treatment of tho diseases.
Acting upon tho recommendation of
Di Bartholomew, a hygienic com
mitlee consisting of Leslie Baskius
Mrs. It. F. Cottcroll, Miss Annie
hereon tho Episcopal nation-wide "'"'i. . y y
movement, returning to Sidney Wed-j"'- i'"""
Dr. Bartholomew recommended that!
the social worker be employed by
and paid from funds of the Hod Cross
chapter. At a mooting of tho Bed
Prnsa illrorlnrs Woil tiftKflH v nvnln:r
tho employment of this social worker
was discussed ut length
The board finally decided to appro
priate $000 for a welfare worker.
which it was thought would carry on
the work for four months. If the
move is successtul, tho expense can
afterwards be borne by tho city. Ef
forts will lie at onco made to secure
a suitable person as tho welfare work
er, though at this tlmo It is not known
whore such can be secured.

It may snow or storm a little, but spring and balmy
air and good roads will bo soon be here. Good, standard
cars aro not in storage this winter to deliver to you when
you want them in tho spring. Production has been held
back some, but anyway, the demand has been larger than
production, and good cars are short for delivery right
today.
A Snfe I'lm-f to Huy Voiir Cur
We recommend a Dodge or Chandler car for .your
next buy, because of the stability of this organization, its
honesty of purpose to sell good cars and give them good
service as long as you own them. We recommend these
cars because they both have been standard models with
out change for five years or more and because you can ob
tain repair parts and immediate service on these cars as
long as you own them, right here in North Platte. We
sell and repair just these two good cars.
A Siif' lMnee to lluy Voiir Car
I would advise an immediate order for the car you pre
fer, whether it is in my line or not, as many will be dis
appointed who wait for the first warm day of spring to
get their now ear. Abstracts of title furnished on all cars.
