SHOWN TO NEGROES
ExHIBIT WAS DISPLAYED TO UN-
 USUAL AUDIENCE.
Negroes We'll Known PrOchvlty to r,onsumutiOn Made the Day of Pe- culiar Interest-PrOgram TOT
 Today.

The negroes of Montgomery yester- day manifested a keen interest m tro tuberculosis exhibit, hTndreas , or xnnwn weakness of the race when attackeo by consumption 1t gave typicdL SIS nificance to the day at the exnlpt. ed in the display which was caiculat- ed to educate all on the oahseIs ' consumption. s.,,ow ing interesting statement in reference to the negro and conSumption:
 During the past four years the death rate from consumption among the ne. groes in Chicago was SSS z .be per wSite GGfe population. For the same period the pneumonia death rate among the ne groes of the city exceeded the white S7 per cent and in bronchitis the col ored death rate was 15 per cent higher;
 Putting it in anSthsr tS way lo1 U %opro %esro read ike th:s 1hs nSst of fos fosr years per cent were caused by the chlet hm pure air diseases: tuberculosis. 24.S; pneumonia, 16.S per cent. and oron-
 Just at this time attention has been called to the consumption death rate among the negroes of the country oy an article :n one of the leading maga> zines in which this subject Is discussed. For example. quotes pr. Furniss, 8 prominent negro physician Of Indian apoltS. as saying that an CnaI clty tno deaths of negroes from tubercuiosis constitute over half of the total deaths from this disease. whereas, in propor. tion to negro population. they should constitute only one-eighth.
 Now, why this frightful death rate from consumption among the negroes ,n all the large centers of population throughout the country
 There are some who attempt to an swer this question by asserting that the negro is predisposed to pulmonary troubles
 "This is not. however. the correct answer. The so-called predispositton of the negroes of the cities to consunp- tion is due to their habits and manner ill-ventilated homes. poor food and in- temperate habits are the causes. White men living under the same conditions would soon develop a high death rate from consumption.
 Negroes are sooiable people. They love to gather In numbers and in rooms where there Is little or no ventilation. They love warmth and comfort, and are not alive to the danger of bad air. Like some of their white brethren. thev would not drink dirty. filthy water. but they are. seemingly not adverse to brea thing dirty air. And dirty air is death.
 "The diseases due to bad air are pre- ventahle disea ses. If this be true. thu the high death rate from these dis eases in an unnecessary and avondable death rate It means that thousands of people die each year who might have lived had they only followed the
