In Striking Accord with Meeting.
To hear Mr.. Roosevelt discourse
on wretched quarters would have
given the impression that he had been
listening at the key-fole-so perfectly
did he express the sentiments OF the
meeting. why is Negro mortality
so much larger than that of the
whites?" came the question.
"They live in wretched huts; they
don't know how to cook, how to eat,
how to sleep how to wear tEeir
clothes. how to care for their health,
came the replies from DOCTORS minis
ters and all those in position to know.
And enthusiasm for getting the Negro
better homes and better health con-
ditions fastened itself ON bankers and
dealers in real estate as well as on
the doctors, insurance men an minis
ters of the gospel.

where whole families have died of tu-

1t is not to be supposed that she has at

But the fact remains, relates the st. Louis
