There is as much propriety in Con-

offer Lee. The first battle where
Lee commanded was at Harper's Fer

Virginia hanged John Brown for
treason. Now she offers Lee, big
ger traitor, as a patriot Lee was
born in Virginia, but he belonged to
the nation. He deserted, not to Wr-
ginia. but to the rebel Confederacy.

berculosis.

Evidence of the popular interest in
the anti-consumption crusade is Civ
in in a statement made today by the
National Association for the Study
and Prevention Of tuberculosis, to
the effect that during the year ending
August 81, nearly 100000 people
have attended tuberculosis exhibitions
in various parts Of tie country.
Besides the three travelling tuber-
culosis exhibitions Of the National
association for the Study and Pre-
vention of tuberculosis, there are
twenty-e,ght exhibits of this kind in
various parts Of the country. Four
years ago there were only three such
displays in the entire country.
over 100000 people have attended
the three travelling exhibits OF the
National Association for the Study
and Prevention Of tuberculosis. which
have visited ten different states and
territories during the year just clos
ed. The three exhibits are now stored
Ior the summer months.
The Southern Exhibit has been
shown in Tennessee. Alabama. Flor
ida and Georgia in ten different cities
and has been viewed by about 100000
people Thousands of others have
been reached by the literature and
posters distributed. so that the num-
Der of people who have been educated
directly or indirectly about tubercu-
losis by this exhibit is considerably
over 100000.
The Western Exhibit of the Nation
al Association has worked during the
past year mainly in Kansas. Nebraska
and Northern Missouri. In all, fifteen
cities have been reached and over
11O,COO persons have visited the ex-
hibit.

As a direct result OF these exhi- /,
bition campaigns. laws relating to the
campaign have been
passed in Tennessee, Florida. Nebras-
ka Kansas and Porto Rico. In the lat
ter territory, comprehensive govern
mental campaign against tuberculosis
has been started. Owing to the fact
that over eighty per cent Of the ma
tives Of Porto Rico are illiterate, the
problems there are very difhcult. An
other result Of the work has been
that nearly q million people have re-

value of labor and how to properly
husband their resources.
Ny correspondent furthermore said
that ia studying the Negro he had
come to the conclusion that the Negro
has become discouraged. He seem
ingIy has resigned himself to the fates
and has lost all interest in every
thing. The gist Of this last obserya-
tinn is this: it shows how keenly and
accurately the white man is observ-
ing us and diagnosing our situation
in this country The Metropolitan
News tas already pointed out the
danger in the race becoming discour-
aged. Our children have no inspira-
ton whatever, either from us or any
one else. They lose interest IN the
things about them and simply become
epicureans and gluttons. Pleasure
seeking is their greatest ambition,
both of the masses and the classes.
And added to this they are hopelessly
divided. Probably the like Of such
an anomaly as the Negro race has
never been seen before in the history
OF races.
He has no ambition and lacks a
definite aim. He will not stick at any
one thing long enough to make sue
cess out of it, especially If it is in any
way irksome, combining and grievOus.
His methods in business are antiquat-
ed, spasmodic and backward. He
seems to be utterly incapable of i'm
provement; is lazy and slothful in his
business, too often untidy, and thinks
that people ought to patroniZe him
anyway because he is Colored. He
has never yet clearly understood that
success in anything means hard
work; therefore he purposes through
duplicity and chicanery to make up
for his indOlency and slothfulness.
Hence, as a general rule coupled with
all these faults, go dishonest, secrecy
and incompetency in business. He can
not succeed in aggregate enterprises
because of these last-named qualities.
The shareholders or partners in the
business are distrustful Of the direc-
tors, and they in turn are distrustful
Of each other. Hence scheming and
parrying constitute their greatest eff
forts along this line.
Last of all my informant said that
the Colored people were always com
planning about their maltreatment
and deploring the fact that they were
CoIored instead Of uniting themselves,
saving their monies. invest it in way
to do bsiness among their own people
and thus get on top. In a country
such as this there is no place for the
man or woman who cannot succeed

pie. Laugh and the world laughs

Eating for strength.

The greatest pleasure to be de-
rived from eating is the pleasure one
gets in the knowledge that his food is
giving him greater strength and vi
tally.
Because of this fact there is con-

Quaker Oats; every time the strength

been tested by scientific investigation
Or by experiments in families 1t has

and it is SO carefully prepared and

Here is proof that the modern up
start of turkey was already rivaling
in favor the classic capon with the
British farmer.
The Jesuits long were credited
with having introduced the turkey into
France from Spain. This may &C
count for the lifelong animosity to
the Jesuits of the great critic Boileau
of Louis XIV.'s time. For Boileau,
as child, fell one day in his fathers
barnyard, and before he could pick
himself up was so severely bitten by
two old turkey cocks that he suffered
from the effects for many years aft

he should hate the Jesuits?
