"HEALTH SUNDAY"
(By E. Richard Petskey, M. D., Urolo.
Bist and Sexologist, Phoenix, Ariz.)
Tomorrow, Sunday, February the
rinth, nineteen hundred and nineteer,
has been designated as “Health Sun
day.” Every American should make
it a point to go to his place of worship
on this particular day, if at no other
time. It should be a sense of DUTY
calling us to respond to the call which
has been given out by so great a man
as our friend, General Rupert Blue.
He is indeed the American’s people
friend, for he is striving without re
cess to make the American people
one of the healtiest races of the day.
Tais is a governmental call . It is a
national call. Respond to it heart and
soul.
When our boys were called to the
colors to save our country, noihing
was spared to make them “KIT, ana
now that they are about to be re
leased fiom this work. Uncle Sam j
still keeping his hand of protection
over them as they return to civil life.!
When we were children there were j
so many times when we were repri. ;
manded and forbidden to do tjiat and!
that, or to go to such and such a place,
or to associate with such and such «
person. Then we did not realize what
all that meant to our future and *n
the future of those who at some later
period of life would be placed under
our care and guidance. Uncle Sam
is umo the parent. He is warning
us and is anxious to see us all grow
up to be "HEALTHY” men and"
women.

Os late, a great deal has been writ
ten on the subject covering venereal
; diseases, and it has had a very great
moral effect already. Fortunately,
, the day of "prudery” has passed, and
passed away for ever. There is noth
ing to be ashamed of about the body
, that God has blessed us with. No,
, i hut there is a great deal to be |
. ashamed cf in the manner in which
we abuse this wonderful body of ours.
It is the object of the government, i
; and many societies and physicians in !
private practice to do all in their
power to eliminate venereal diseases,
and this can only be done by con
stant co-operation from every side.!
Are you doing your bit?
When we have tuberculosis or ty. f
phoid fever or any other ordinary dis-1
ease, we do not go to a drug store j
and buy some patent medicine and at-1
tempt to cure ourselves. Then, why !
should anyone suffering from a vener
: eal disease attempt to do so? Far
less so, then. Veneral diseases re
j quire the very best of efficient treat,
ment to assure of their elimination
from the system. Unless properly
treated and cured at the time, they
1 may lie dormant for a while, only to
break out again, and to break out in
a more virulent form than before. I
is an absolute injustice for a man or
woman who is suffering from any
form of venereal disease not to go to
a competent physician for the proper ,
treatment. Every such person ought !
to display enough honor and self-re-j,
spect 1o be only too anxious to be | J
j CURED. Many a case of INHERIT, j,
ED VENEREAL DISEASE do physi- <
THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING
cians all over the country see from
day to day, just because some person
was not honest enough to present
himself or herself for proper treat
! ment at the time of infection. Many
| are there who are this day syphilitic,
not through their own actions, hut
through the inheritance of some ne
glectful ancestor.
A common opinion seems to be
| prevalent at present that when a per
son goes to a doctor's office for treat.
I ment for a venereal disease, that his
cr her name is made public. This Is
absolutely erroneous. Each physician
j is required to make a record of such
j cases, but he is NOT to hand out the
name of the patient.
When the boys come home you will
be planning to HONOR them, so do
j not allow profiteers of vice to take
; advantage of days of festivity to DIS
HONOR them. Make sure that DE
MOBILIZATION will NOT mean DE
MORALIZATION.
Once more do I appeal to you to do
your part and go and listen to what
your minister has to say and stand
by him in UNITY. Union is strength.
Yours for the obliteration of vener.
eal diseases.

) LIBERTY IN WAR
I
II When the announcement came from |
- Washington some months ago that |
/ the United States had loaned five mil-1
, lion dollars to Liberia, we wondered j
t what the money was lent for. There !
- was no obvious consideration for a!
i loan of this amount to a republic of j
s Negroes which had been formed un- 1
der American auspices on the west j
' coast, of equatorial Africa —except, i
| perhaps, a general feeling of friend- j
liness on the part of the blacks of I
one country for the blacks of the
| other. This, however, hardly seemed
; to justify such generosity at the ex.
pense of American taxpayers—for
money sent to Liberia seldom comes
[ back.
, An explanation may perhaps be
. found in a statement recently made
by a bishop of the Methodist Episco
. osl church in Liberia. Last April the
. colored republic suffered from an at
tack by a German submarine, which
( shelled Monrovia, the capital, and
' sank the President Grant, the only
: vessel of the Liberian navy. This
was because the government of Li
beria would not comply with the
German demand for the destruction
of the French cable and wireless sta
j tion on the coast. On the contrary,
; the Liberians took charge of the
plant themselves and sent 200 Ger
, mans to France to be interned there.
■ They have also supplied the French
. army with hundreds of colored la.
borers, who received military train
i ing that qualied them, in case of need, '
■ to act as soldiers.
According to the Liberian bishop, 1
the Germans have heretofore con- 1
trolled three-quarters of the commer- !
cial enterprise in Liberia. Their in
terests have been seized and sold, 1
since Liberia declared war against 1
Germany in August, 1917. In view of '
the vigorous action of the black re.
public against the common foe, we
are not prepared to say that our gen
erosity was misplaced. And no doubt
the Liberians needed the money.—
‘Munsey.”
o
The first note in “high places” that j
has sounded against Wall Street i'
from Representative Heflin of Ala
bama, who states in Congress that
thousands of farmers of the South
have been robbed by the price of cot
ton being driven down from 37 to
24 cents. He’s a bolshevik; he’s pro-
German; hang him!
o
Tackle has been invented by a
l Washington man to make a falling
tree pull out the stump of one cut
i down earlier in a lumbering opera
tion.
o
An oil well being driven in West
Virginia has been drilled to a depth of
7 363 feet, and is now the deepest inj
the world.
o
Pulverized peat is being used by
the Swedish railroads for fuel with
success.
