Military medicos provide soldiers with oral caution beforehand, treatment afterward, encourage local authorities to provide free prophylaxis stations. Army (and Navy) doctors generally prefer controlled segregation, covertly discourage the more extreme efforts of such agencies as the American Social Hygiene Association to abolish prostitution by legal action.

For four years June Harrah has supported...
...Peeling potatoes, to modern housewives, is a sin. Potato jackets, they firmly believe, are rich in anti-scurvy Vitamin C, while the potato's inside is little more than starch and water. Last month the British Medical Journal laughed at this assertion, referred to some new research of a food chemist, Mamie Olliver. The ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) content of potatoes, she found, is more than skin deep. In fact, said the Journal, the amount of vitamin "increases from without inwards.
