STUDIES THE PROBLEM
BUREAU OF SOCIAL HYGIENE IS
EXPLAINED.
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., Tells of Its
Origin, Work and Plans for the
Investigation of Vice
Conditions.
New York, .Tnn., 27. In order that
tho public might better understand
tho Hureau of Social Hygiene, John T.
Rockefeller, Jr., today gave out a
statement explaining the origin, work
and plans of that Institution. The
bureau, ho said, camo Into existence
about two years ago ns a result of tho
work of n special grand jury ap
pointed to Investigate tho white slave
trnfllc In New York city. This Jury
recommended that a public commis
sion bo appointed to study the social
evil.
Mr. Rockefeller was foreman of
that grand Jury and ho thereafter
gave tho subject deep thought and
conferred with a largo number of lend
ing men and women. "These confer
ences," sayB Mr. Rockefeller, "devel
oped the feeling that a public commis
sion would labor under a number of
disadvantages, such as the fact that It
would be short lived; that Its work
would be done publicly; that at best
it could hardly do more than present
recommendations. So the conviction
grew that in order to make a real and
lasting Improvement In conditions, n
permanent organization should be
created, tho continuation of which
would not bo dependent upon a tem
porary wave of reform, nor upon the
life of any man or group of men, but
which would go on, generation after
generation, continuously making war
faro against the forces of evil. It also
appeared that a private organization
would have, among other advantages,
a certain freedom from publicity and
from political bias, which a publicly
appointed commission would not bo
easily avoid.
"Therefore, as the Initial step, in
tho winter of 1911 the Bureau of Social
Hygleno wbb formed. Its prosent
members are Miss Katharlno Rcment
Davis, superintendent of the New
York state reformatory for women at
Bedford Hills, N. Y.r Paul M. War
.burg, of tho firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co.;
Starr J. Murphy, of tho New York bar,
land John D. Rockefeller. Jr. Ab the
work dovolops now members may be
added.
"Ono of tho first things undertaken
by the bureau was the establishment
at Bedford Hills, adjacent to tho re
formatory, of a laboratory of social
hygiene, under Miss DavlB direction.
In this laboratory it Is proposed to
study from thn physical, mental, soclnl
iund moral sldo ench person committed
to tho reformatory. This study will
bo carried on by exports and each
case will bo kept under observation
for from three weeks to threo months,
as may be required. When tho diag
nosis Is completed, It Is hoped thnt
tho laboratory will bo In position to
recommend the treatment most likely
to refoim tho Individual, or, If refor
mation Is impossible, to recommend
permanont custodial caro. Furthor
more, renehlng out beyond the Indi
viduals Imolved, It Is believed that
Uiub Importnnt contributions may be
made to a fuller knowledge of tho con
ditions ultimately responsible for vice.
If this experiment Is successful the
fprlnclplo may prove applicable to all
'classes of criminals and tho condi
tions precedent to crlmo, and lead to
lines of action not only more scien
tific, and humane, but also less waste
ful than thoso at present followed,"
That Its work might bo dono Intel-
Says Dairy Interests Are Threatened.
Lincoln. Thnt tho wolfaro of tho
dairy Interests of tho United Stntes Is
threatened by tho actlvltlos of tho
oleonmrgarlno manufacturers who nro
attempting to got bills through con
gross thnt will permit tho Imitation
product to enter Into competition with
butter nnd to do away with tho pres
ent regulations governing tho sale of
the packers' product, wns tho state
ment of Prof. G. L. McKay of Chi
cago beforo the Stato Dalrymnn's ns
soclatlon at the university farm
Thursday afternoon.
NOT?
llgently tho bureau employed George
J. Knecland to make a comprehensive
survey of vlco conditions In New York,
and Abraham Flexncr to study the
social ovll In Europe, and their re
ports nre now being propnrcd. These
studies will be followed by others In
various American cities, and it is the
hope of tho bureau that, based upon
all of them, may be dovlscd a prac
tical plan for dealing with tho social
ovll.
In conclusion Mr. Rockefeller's
statement says: "It cannot be too
strongly emphasized that tho spirit
which dominates the work of the
bureau Is not sensational or senti
mental or hysterical: that It is not a
spirit of criticism of public olllclals;
but that It Ib essentially a spirit of
constructive suggestion and of deep
scientific us well ns humane Interest
In u great world problem."

"From your drug-gist get one ounoe
of Torla compound (In original seated
Sackage) and one ounoe of syrup of
araaparllla compound. Take these
two Ingredients home and put them
Into a half pint of good whiskey.
Shake the bottle and take a table
spoonful before each meal and at bed
time." This Is said to be the quickest
and best remedy known to the medical
profession for rheumatism and back
ache. Oood results come after the first
dose. If your druggist does not have
Torla compound In stock he wtll pet
It for you in a few hours from his
wholesale (house. Don't be Influenced
to take a patent medicine Instead of
this. Insist on having the genuine Torls
compound In the original onn-ounee, scal
ed, yellow package. Hundreds of the
worst cases were cured hero by this pre
scription last winter. Published by the
