hard to procure, that feel like apoio- gizing for adding other difficulties in l the selection of your household assist ants. Yet tuberculosis has become so | prevalent, and is increasing at such an alarming rate among our negro popu- lation. to which practically all of our servants belong. that it is really diffi- cult to find an adult negro free from tuberculosis.
 It is perfectly safe to live in a house with consumptive who properly de- stroys and disinfects his sputum, but as negroes are so ignorant of the laws of hygiene, and so careless and uncleanly
 in their habits, that to have one, who is infected with tuberculosis, in home for several hours a day, Is a great dan ger to every other person in the house. In the opinion of many physicians, our tuberculous colored servants are re- sponsible for the increase in the disease among the whites of the South. l know
 one case of a splendid young man who died from tuberculosis, where we could almost with certainty trace the source
 of infection to a negro servant.
 Dr. St. George Grinnan of Richmond,
 Va, reports "a negro faclily of seven
 teen children, fifteen of whom, within
 seven years. died of tuberculosis. All
 the children worked in the home of
 white families, some as cooks, some as
 hOuSematdS, several as mixers. fte
 reports another instance of "a negro
 family of nine children, all of whom
 died of tuberculosis. The mother was a laundress" He further says: Here
 in Richmond. I have seen two negro
 children III with tuberculosis in room in which laundry was spread to dry, the
 mother handling the children and the laundry alternately. At the city dis
 pensary here, woman, who had tu-
 bercle baceilli in every cell in her body,
 got a position to mind a young baby" Physicians all over the South have had similar experiences. During the past
 few weeks I have had three ladies to send their colored servants to me to examine their lungs, and in each in- stance I found advanced tuberculosis, at a stage when the disease is highly infectious and contagious.
 The negroes as slaves were practical ly free from consumption, but since their freedom, in less than half cen tury. the disease has become so prevail ent among them that nearly one-half of their deaths are now due to consumption. Judging from the above facts, instead of tuberculosis be- ing called the "Greak White Plague" 1t should be called. the Great Black Plague" All observers agree that tu- bercuIosis is almost a scourge to the negro, yet almost nothing is being done to prevent the disease

the plague combined. It is estimated that in the United States more than 160.000 persons dies annually from consumption. In Alabama the White Plague" which consumption Is somc- tins in each twelve months. There dies in our State each year from tu- berculosfs more persons than have died ddt,d. in allrt all the ePidemies of yellow Alabama was first settled.
 Statistics compiled from the 1900 census show that in the United States more than 10 per cent. of all deaths were from consumption. This does not give any idea of it's destructive effect upon the human race, as in the pro- ductive period of life, between the ages of 15 and 45, it is the cause of one third of all deaths; and between the ages Of 20 and 24 years, at the time when life should give the greatest hope and happiness, 42 per cent. of all deaths are due to consumption. While the dis ease affects largely young adults, 1t is frequent disease of childhood, and old age is by no means exempt. It af- fects the rich and the poor, the great and the humble. so that no age or con dition of life brings security from con- sumption. It will surprise many when l state that eighty or ninety out of every 100 persons now living either now have. have had, or will have tu- berculosis; yet this is true statement, proven by the fact that autopsies, on many thousand persons who died from all causes, in so per cent. to 90 per cent. Of the cases. show either healed or active lesions of the disease. Many persons have had tuberculosis in so mild a form that they never suspect having the disease-such cases are usu- ally treated for "cOlds," "oatarrh," "la- grippe Indigestion" malaria" ar even typhoid fever" It Is only the severe eases, or those far advanced- generally the neglected ones-that go to the stage where the usual symptoms of the disease can be diagnosed with certainty. Tuberculosis is such an uni versai disease that there Is hardly family in Alabama that has not given up one or more of its loved ones. or a near relative, at it's altar.

 I am particularly pleased to see such an organization take up for study and discussion the subject of tuber- cuIosis So far as I know, it is the first time in this State that any or ganization among women, has discuss ed this subject, which is one of the most serious and important problems that confronts our people at this time, and. in my opinion. it is a question that affects the women Of our coun- try more than any other class. because tuberculosis is essentially disease of the home, 1t is there that most cases originate and it Is in the home that
