he STANDS For RACE PURITY.

President Roosevelt selected the
anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's
birth to set himself right upon the
much discussed question of social
equality.
This, said the president, sis a
question which must of course be
left to the people of each commu-
nifty to settle for themselves; as in
such a matter no one community
and indeed no one indiyidual-can
dictate to any other; always pro
vided that in each locality men
keep in mind the fact that there
must be no confusing of civil priv
ileges with social intercourse. Full
recognition of the fundamental fact
that all men should stand on an
equal footing, as regards civil priv
ileges, in no way interferes with
recognition of the further fact that
all rejecting men of both races are
united in feeling that race purity
must be maintained.
Grace purity must be main

PRESIDENT IN THE SOUTH.

The progress of President Roosevelt
through the South was not only tri-
umphant ovation, but a demonstra-
tlon that the South has a great deal
more sanity than some people suppose;
and that the jeff Davises, Graveses,
Tillmans and Vardamans represent
merely the surviving specimens of the
antediluvian element Such men are
essentially Bourbon-they learn moth
ing and forget nothing.
The President made his best speech
at Little Rock, Arkansas, and very
properly rebuked Governor Jeff Davis
for his illiberal sentiments, when he
said:

WE SHOULD BE THANKFUL

There is certainly matter for pro-
found thankfulness involved in the
fact that the people of the South have
graciously allowed the Federal Govern
ment to participate in the war with
the stegomyia fasciata and even the
stalWart statesmen of that bumptious
section have not protested stern
ly and horrifyingly against this
usurpation of the police functions of
the state. Per contra the Boston
Herald says: From New Orleans
comes announcement that when Con-
gress meets there will be strong ef-
fort on the part of the intelligent
citizenship of the South in favor Of
legislation authorizing and requiring
the national government to assume
charge of the quarantine at all ports
OF entry subject to yellow fever inva-
sion Those who will advocate this
course feel that. in view of experience,
this is the only sensible thing to be
done.
But the Herald we regret to say is
not specially exhilarated by this
striking exhibition of devotion to the
old flag, and replies to the people who
long to become wards of the govern
ment' thus: This example of the
people of city or of state, or OF
several states, calling upon the ma
tional government to bulwark them
against conditions that are largely the
result Of their own neglect to govern
themselves with proper regard for their
own welfare is not a good one, espe-
cially when it comes from states which

THE CURING OF CONSUMPTION.
Great Work Being Done in New York
POSTGRADUATE HosnitaI :. n

POSTGRADUATE Hospital.
For the benefit of poor consumptiyes
unable to leave their work, or to go
from home to more congenial eli
mate, the New York Post Graduate
Hospital some years ago set apart, "a
portion of its free dispensary. Some
of the methods employed are described
In Pearson's.
The patients report at the hospital
twice daily, and these daily gatherings
give the physicians in charge IAN OPP
portunity to cross-examine the pa
TENTS, to correct their faults of living
and instruct them how to make the
most of their means. The patients
are hidden to eat all they can of
wholesome food, allowing an interval
of five hours between meals. Things
specifically barred are tea, coffee, CO.
Goa, chocolate, vinegar, alcohol in any
form, beef tea and meat extracts. 1t
is preferred that the patients do not
use tobacco. Fresh air and cleanliness
OF person and surroundings are insist
ed upon. Frequently the patients oc-
cupation will not permit of his con-
trolling his supply of air during the
day., but he must sleep with his win
doWs wide open in all kinds of wealth
er. Why do we hear all this talk
about the great necessity of fresh air
in curing consumption? The reason
is that heat apd energy are convertible
terms; that if the fat you take into
your system is to be utilized as energy
1t must be kindled, and that to kindle
anything you must have oxygen, which
is found in proper quantity only In
air that is fresh. Women patients who
wear corsets must take them off,
Besides being instructed as to the
method Of cure, the patients are
taught that ''the curing of cause of
tuberculosis depends as much, if not
more, upon the determination and will
of the patient as upon the skill of the
physician
Some heroic struggles are made by
some of the patients who are deter
mined to get well. The writer tells of
one poor woman who, with both lungs
affected and a cavity in her chest, sat
bundled up a whole winter in room
with the windows wide open, while
she sewed with fingerless gloves, blow
ing on her hands now and then to re-
Eeve the numbness. Her perseverance
was happily rewarded with recovery.
