promoting the spread OF Christianity
among his people that at length the
whole great territory over which he
ruled came under It's sway
Kama. now an aged man, but stili
the happy ruler OF his Christian sub
jects. has recently held at Serowe. his
capital. week Of festival for his
Christian jubilee. attended by multi
tudes OF his native subjects and by
msny mission workers and distin-
guished white visitors from all parts
OF South Africa. After a great milf
tary parade OF the kings troops. Kama
within n retinue OF eight thousand Re
chuanas. attended n great thanksgiv-
ing service. where a multitude OF Ia
600 assembled. where Official felicita-
tons were presented. and where n
younger brother OF the king. speaking
for the whole nation, reviewed the
great transformation for good that has
taken place In the tribal life and GUS
toms under Kama's rule. Chief among
the good results noted was the exclu-
sion OF alcoholic drink from the land
The drink evil had been well.known In
their land. and while u was not yet
entirely suppressed. the trafic could
no longer flourish and was made a.
legal. Kama himself made a striking
address and warned his people against
drink as the great enemy OF their
happiness and progress" Thanking the
white people for their friendship ana
help. he begged them 10 guard their
darker brothers Of the native race
from the destruction wrought through

TOTAL ABSTINENCE IS BEST
Or. Fulton. Noted English Expert. Leo
lures on "Aleohoi and Tubereuio-
sis"-Drink Causes Poverty.

At the Tuberculosis exhibition, held
az Nottingham. England. DIR. Fulton, a
noted expert. lectured TO a large au-
dience on alcohol and tuberculosis. :"
DR.. Fulton said that there was some
connection. direct and Indirect. be-
tween alcohol and consumption. An
indirect way In which the two were
connected was that alcohol was insiru-
mental In placing people In unhealthy
surroundings. with insufficient food.
He would also show tina, there was
scientific evidence that there was a
direct connection between the two. Al
cohol was an indirect cause OF con-
sumption. mainly because Il was a
cause OF poverty. Ice had long since
come to the conclusion that II was not
poverty that caused drink. but drink
that caused poverty and dirt. People
who were poor did not live In such good
rooms as others. and they were often
overcrowded. and Infection was the
more dangerous under these condI-
tons. Money. too. was often spent on
alcohol which should be spent on food
and clothing. The dificulty OF dealing
with a consumptive who was addicted
to alcoholism was instanced by the
lecturer. who spoke OF the appetite
being ruined by drinking bouts. Aico-
hol predisposed 10 consumption by
lowering the vitality of the body. and
thus lessening Its power OF resistance
to disease germs. Experiments had
been made on animals which proved
that alcohol did reduce the resistance
OF the body to disease. Medical men
that II did in cases OF pneu-
monia, erysipelas. and blood poison.
Ing; and yet some would not admit Il
In cases OF consumption. although the
diseases differed only in detail. Post.
nortem examination had also
strengthened this argument. In con.
he illustrated the benefits OF
Total abstinence on health. and COM
pared insurance tables on this subject,
showing the benefits OF abstinence
principles and practice.
