TALKS ON Tu1ERcuLosls.

New York. -Drs. e. P. Roberts and
Johnson delivered two extremely In
:teresting lectures, at st. Marks Mcenm
last week.
Doctor Roberts said the main trou.
BILE with colored people Is that they:
don't think enough. He advocated saw
ing money, saying that the colored
people can't have coed health without
saving money. The doctor says as a
rule that the colored people eat too
much pork.
Doctor Johnson says that the negro
young men are dying rapidly with
tuberculosis brought on by irregu-
larity in living. The doctor says me-
groes have as good lungs as anyone
else but their way of living to great
extent destroys their longevity. Both
physicians were puzzled to know why
so many negroes dislike milk. They
advised parents to teach children to
drink milk. which in time Of fever.
etc. become an Inc partial part Of diet.
Condensed milk is good as food for
children.

comparing the work OF these insti-

maintained by the government, spoke
to large audience at the First A.

4 The Little Rock Gazette, in noticing
the address, says in part:
Vernon who has long been an ed
ucator. having until recently been
president OF Western university, GUM
daro. Kan, is one Of the most promi-
nent orators Of the negro race. and
for a long time entertained his hear
ers with recital of the progress OF
the negro in the south, counseling
them in the meantime to take advan-
tage Of every opportunity the south
afforded them.
The work OF such institutions as
Tuskegee and Hampton was praised
by the speaker. who declared that in
large degree they trained the negro
boy for active participation in the life
of the 4eople here In the south.
1.-THE. time has come when the
negro no longer feels that he must
go north to serve his people" he
said. THE opportunity Is right here
in the south The interest OF the
black man ard the white man Is so
interviewer that they are common and
they must be worked out on common
basis.
The negro has proven his right to
stay here by his bravery on a hundred
battlefelds. by the fact that he has be-
trayed no trusts In the days gone by
and Is no worse now than he was then.
We must have confidence In our lead
ers on the one hand, and on the
other we must have leadership that
will not berray us.
The negro race will get all that
comes to it by being worthy: as re-
suit Of education, competency. man.
