Eczema a Germ Disease.
MYRIADS OF MICROSCOPIC ANIMALS INFESI
THE SKIN OF THE SUFFERER.

When the skin Of an eczema sufferer itches
and burns In untold agony. do you know what
is going on within the pores of that skin?
Myriads Of microscopic animals are gnawing
at the flesh, breaking down the fine cells and
causing testers. thick scales and that terrible
itch. The germs multiply faster than Nature can
throw them OF.
Now. there is only one way to get rid of these
germs-they must be killed In their lodging
places. Dosing the stomach or trying to cure
the blood will not. of course. kill the germs and
that is why all the blood remedies fail in ecze-

to sail en- the Oceanic March II to take
up his permanent work and residence
there.
Fer many years the need has been felt
of closer cooperation in statistical work
by the different nations of the world. and
this is the first time that such an i'm
portant work has been undertaken on a
permanent and systematic basis.
The International Institute of Agri-
culture is the result of the earnest and
persistent endeavors CT an American citi-
zen, David Lubin, resident of Cali
fornia, who was formerly merchant and
large wheat grower and, believing that
the farming and commercial interests of
he benefited by closer rapprochemenI
OF the different nations in regard to an
industry which is the foundation of the
business stability of the world. advanced
the thought of an International Institute
of Agriculture. Several years ago he
proposed the plan to the principal Euro
pean nations and 1t was favOrably. con-
sidered by Victor Emanuel. King of Italy.
who sent invitations to the different ma
tons to assemble at a conference at
Rome preparatory to the formation OF
such an organization.
This conference met in assembly in 1905
the principal nations of the world. in
Guiding the United States. being repre-
sented by delegates and 1t drew up a pre-
lminary convention. This convention
was later signed and approved by the ad-
herring nations, and now tifty-two nations
have joined the institute
The King of Italy has erected and given
to the institute at Rome a very fine
building costing several hundred thou
sand dollars, which is beautifully finished
and furnished and eXcellently equipped as
modern office building, containing q
large number of rooms for the office force
of the institute as we'll as for the dele
gates of the different countries who may
permanently reside in Rome.
The preliminary work in the Organiza-
ton of the institute was completed at a
recent meeting of the general assembly OF
the institute. which met In Rome in No.
vember and December, 1903 at which
convention DR.. Clark was present as one
of the delegates representing the United
States. One Of the important features
of the institute work Will be the forma-
tion of plan for assembling. unifying
and disseminating international statistics

work of the institute is just beginning.

gone through all the branches and steps
of statistical work. has been acting chief

Of the Department OF Agriculture for the
past year or two. and is regarded as one
of the ablest statisticians in the United
States.
DR.. Clark is a Washington boy, a grad
uate of the schools and colleges of this
city and member Of the bar of the
state of Pennsylvania and Of the District
Of Columbia. He is remembered as hav-
ing been prominently identified with ath-
letics: he rowed In the Columbia Athletic
crews. was an active and prominent foot
ball and tennis player and managed the
pennant-winning team OF the Department
of Agriculture In 1903.
This is an entirely new field O work
which will be watched with interest by
statisticians in this country and through
out the world. and II Is a splendid COM
pliment that the offer of one Of the most
important positions in the work of the
institute should be made to an American.

FEDERAL HEALTH CAMPAIGN
MOVEMENT BEGUN FOR NEGRO
ANTI-TUBERCULoSIS LEAGUE.
Churches and Schools Throughout
Southern States Made Nucleus.
National Body Planned.

SAVANNAH, Ga, March 13.-The
movement recently inaugurated by the
United States public health and marine
hospital service of organizing anti-tubercu-
losis leagues among the negroes of the
south marks the commencement of a
new era in public health work and is
regarded as one of great Importance, the
far reaching effects of which are in
calculable.
1t is a well known fact that tuberculosis
is very prevalent among the negroes and
nearly four times as many Of them die OF
the disease as white people in the same
localities. The great difficulty in dealing
with such diseases as tuberculosis among
the negroes has been the inability to
reach them in some effective way and
teach them how to protect themselves
against it, The scheme devised by the
United States public health and marine
hospital service seems to offer the most
practical solution yet presented.
Briefly stated it is as follows: To es-
tablish in each state having large negro
population a state anti-tuberculosis league
for negroes, with one vice president for
each county in the state; that vice presi-
dent is expected to organize every negro
church In his county into a Church Anti
tuberculosis League, of which the pastor
of the church will be the head. 1t is
proposed that each member of the church
pay small annual dues and will be given
an attractive and ornamental certificate
of membership that may be framed and
hung on the walls of the home as an
ornament On the certificate will be

preventing it's spread and its cure ii con-
tracted.

It is thought that these certificates will

something for them will value them more
highly and will preserve them and learn
from them some of the principles of
sanitation The funds derived from the
annual dues in each church are to be used
nv the league of that church in caring
for it's own members who may have tu-
berculosis. Thus in joining their church
league the negroes are contributing to
their own care in case they are stricken
with the disease. a feature that it is
thought will strongly appeal to the negro
mind.
sons of sanitation in the negro schools.
The movement was inaugurated a few
days ago at Savannah Ga, at negro
farmers conference, where, at the sug-
eestion of a representative of the public
health and marine hospital service, the
Georgia State Anti-tuberculosis League
for Negroes was organized, with r. R..
Wright. president of the Georgia State
Industrial College, as president, and DIR.
s. p. Lloyd Of Savannah as secretary. All
of the officers and members of the league
are to be negroes.
National League Next.
This is the first negro anti-tuberculosis
league that has ever been formed. 1t is
understood that measures are now being
perfected, under the auspices of the pub
lice health and marine hospital service, for
| the establishment of a National Negro
Anti-tuberculosis League.
