Their Reports.
The regular monthly meeting of the
board of health was held yesterday at
ternoon. On motion of Health Officer
Kilmartin it was voted to notify the
janitor of the isolation hospital that
the work of renovating the building
had been completed and to request him
to place the hospital in condition
suitable for receiving patients as soon
as possible. The janitor was also re-
quested to see that number OF minor
repairs should be made. The health
officer said the building had been suf-
fciently aired and would be closed now
and the bedding would be ready for
any patients received.
Some time ago the board received a
communication from the board of
education suggesting that the health
board cooperate with the board Of ed
ucation in investigating any case Of
contagious eye disease which may be
in the local schools. DR. Frost and Dr.
Kilmartin were appointed to confer
with the board of education. The lat
ter thought there would be few il any
of those eye diseases among the pupils
of the local schools.
The usual monthly bills were re-
ceived and payment recommended.

Manager Batters and Captain

Cadets have been very slow and ne

season and they showed it by the ex-
hlbition which they put up against the
weak Acorns of Bridgeport on Sunday
1t almost lost the game for them. Lack
Of team work, the result of lack Of
practice, is attributed as the cause OF
the 60 A teams defeat by Naugatuck
last saturday. The Cadets will prob
ABLY be making the same excuse later
unless they report for practice and
get into good condition for q hard
game and perfect system of team
work. Players are never SO good
that they don't need practice.

The Vinita daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1902-1913, 1902-12-27

The susceptibility Of negroes to cor
sumption has apparently undergone .
remarkable change within the last
third Of century and lung diseases
have become SO prevalent among them
as to justly the belief that it may soon
be veritabie scourge to the race.
During the days Of slavery the disease
was so seldom found among them that
they were considered almost immune
to it. In fact, some Of the cider writers
took the stand squnfely and asserted
that consumption was unknown in the
race. From being thus so rare as to
be almost unknown, it has in single
generation become so prevalent and
so fatal that now more negroes in the
south are dying of tuberculosis than
of any other disease. While it exists
among all classes, it is in the densely
populated quarters of towns and cit
les, where they live in overcrowded
and poorly ventilated houses, that IT
is found to be most frequent. In insti-
tutions where large numbers are more
or less closely confined the ravages
of this disease are becoming truly
alarming.
The following quotation from a pa
per on the Future of the Colored
Race in the United States" published
some years ago by DR.. Eugene Carson,
Is interesting in this connection He
says: "All the information which ]
have been able to obtain has satisfied
me that the race was healthy one,
even healthier in the main, than the
whites. Since the war things have
been reversed; the colored race as
race is not healthy and robust one;
their vitality is in state Of unstable
equilibrium; liable from any undue
strain to give away"
Statistics from institutions having
both white and colored patients will
show that the latter is less able to re-
sist the onslaught of disease. DR..
Mitchell. the superintendent of the
Mississippi state insane hospital, in RI
last report says: There is one great
difference between the races as re-
CARDS mortality and, although our
treatment, both dietetic and medicinal,
is the same. our loss from deaths
among the colored far exceeds that
sustained by the whites"
Turning from the physical condition
Of the negro, let us now investigate
the mental stability Of the race. Since
1860 the negroes Of the south have un-
dergone such change in their ten
dency to the development of mental
diseases ~ Is shown by no other peo-
pie in a similarly short period Of time
IN the whole history Of mankind. I
will take the statistics OF our own
state. Georgia, typical southern
s,ate. as they will probably be Of more
interest TO this society than would
those of the whole United States. In
40 years the total negro population IN
the state has been a little more than
doubled, while the number Of insane
has increased twentyfold. No other
such rapid and radical change in the
mental stability Of . race IL recorded
ii history. This outburst Of insanity
becomes still more remarkable when
We consider that for generations prior
10 1850 the coiored people had been
free from mental disease. II has de-
veIoped. therefore. without the slight
est hereditary trait.
