COLORED FOLKS
TO SAVE CHURCH
Congregation of Wayman Mis-
sion Chapel Trying to Pay
Of Debt Of $1,000.
WILL GIVE BIG CONCERT
Have Secured Noted Colored ORA

Pear Here Dec. 10.

In order to save the church from !
the debt which hangs over It the |
congregation Of the Wayman Mission
chapel (colored) on Thirteenth
street at Fifth-and-a-half avenue,
has arranged for a big dramatic
concert and prize contest at which
1t is hoped to raise $1,000. Lavigne
Garnett (colored) OF Chicago, a dra-
matte reader Of note, has been Sc
cured to direct the affair and IL
promises to be a big success. The
colored folks are out in force In an
endeavor to sell 5000 tickets to the
affair at 25 cents each. That
would mean S1,250 which with the
donations which II is expected will
be made by those interested in the
advancement of the colored people
in the city, will bring the total over
the required mark.
MUST SAVE CHURCH.
Said Mrs. Garrett to a represen-
tative OF The Argus: THE colored
folks OF this city have lost Mckinley
chapel but they will not give up the
Wayman Mission without a strug-
gle and we believe there are enough
philanthropists in the city to help US
out in our extremity. We realize
that without religious inspiration
and incentive, the colored folks are
sorely tried and many Of them go
wrong and It is for this reason that
we are determined to keep the
church alive. We feel sure that II
the public is once informed as to our
needs they will stand by us and see
us through our financial difficult
ties. The church debt is not a large
one. but it must be paid else the
colored folks will be without a
church to hold them in the paths of
righteousness.
WILL GIVE PRIZES.
The entertainment is to be held
Dec. 16 at Beselin's hall and II will
include beside dramatic reading by
Mrs. Garrett, musical and other
numbers In which the following will
participate: William Garrett, Mr
and Mrs. W. II. Burris, Charles
Shepherd, Walter w. Kimbrough
and Miss Frederika Foster. In ad-
dition there will be numerous con.
tests for which prizes totaling 800
have been posted and the evening
will be large one" indeed.

MOST PEOPLE PAY TOO MUCH
FOR CLOTHING.

The ordinary man pays a price,
varying from fifty per cent. to over
one hundred per cent, according to
the article which he buys beyond that
which the United States soldier pays,
says Mary Heaton worse in an article
in Success Magazine" Moreover,
even the man who can afford to pay
fifteen dollars for his suit, is not at
all sure of what he is getting for his
money. Certain firms sell fair bust
ness suit for this price, but in the
many samples secured in the prepare
ton of this article, the widest range
of material was offered for the same
price and the widest difference of cut
and finish was observed. Moreover,
the lower you go in the scale of prices,
the greater the difference In what you
may get for your money. In other
words, the less a man can afford to
pay for his clothes, the more he is at
the mercy of chance.
Look over the prices of some of the
other articles which a soldier buys
For wooden gloves of similar quality
to the soldiers thirty-seven cent ones
the ordinary man will have to pay>be
tween seventy-five cents and one dol
lar. The same difference may b,
found in the price Of puttees, and 81
throughout the list. The price Of tn,
soldiers shirts and those ordinaril,
sold at retail are hard to compare, 81
far in durability does the chambra
shirt outstrip the ordinary fifty-cent o
seventy-five-cent shirt.

KILLED
BY INCUBATION
For Vaccination-Use Demon
strates Possibilities.

Epidemics of typhoid fever are be-
ing successfully COPIED with by vacci-
nation incubation with the typhoid
virus is now compulsory in the armies
of Europe and it is thought the United
States will issue a similar regulation
since the tests made Of the efficiency
of the virus on soldiers recently sent
to the Mexican border proved to be
more satisfactory than at first suppos-
ed by the army physicians.
Typhoid has been for ages the
scourge of armies. In the civil war
$4,000 cases were recorded in the
union army alone. In the Franco
Prussian war the German army suffer
ed $4,000 cases, with S,799 deaths,
about GO per cent of the total morality
of the war being due to this disease.
! In the Spanish-American war the Uni
ted States army had 20,790 cases. with
1850 deaths, in an army of 100000
men, or one case for each Sc men,
Over Sc per cent of the mortality of
this war was due to typhoid fever.
Such a large percentage of morality
being due to this disease led many
eminent physicians and scientists to
search for a preventive. 1t was not
until Hankins, the noted English
scientist and physician proved sue
cessfully of cholera in India, that in-
oculation was deemed the proper
method to prevent typhoid.
l.. First Test In Boer War.
The success of Haffkins led Sir A
e. Wright, a noted English physician
and scientist, to study the question Of
vaccination for typhoid. in man. His
method was first used in 1898, the
tests being made upon English soldiers
bound for the Boer war. Although nj
exact figures have been published from
this experienment, 1t appears that o

locality, if possible to use the germ
prevailing in such a locality at the
time of injection.
Methods Used.
The following method is used
Germs are taken from the blood of
patient whose disease has been dag
nosed as typhoid fever. They are plac-
in agar" or preparation Shiny in
appearance and of delicate brown
color, particularly adapted to the
growth of bacteria. The agar is then
placed in an oven and allowed to re-
main at body heat for twenty-four
hours. The germs are then washed off
the agar with distilled water. Heat
is again applied to them, death &C.
curing at SO degrees centigrade. Sew
eral million germs are then inoculated
into a guinea pig in order to prove
their death. 1t this last test is salts
factory, no demonstration of germ
life being evident in the guinea pig,
the remainder are counted.
How to Count Germs.
The method used in counting germs
is by analogy. Ten million of them
would not be as large as needle
point. However, a few million are
mingled with blood. The corpuscles OF
the blood are counted and compared
with the number of germs under g
powerful microscope and an accurate
idea of the number of germs is OBJ
tanned.
Sir A. E. Wright at first used on
incubation; later two inoculation
were used and in 1908 three were rec
commended. Four are being given a
the present time, ten days apart. TIL
first incubation contains 500,000,00
dead germs, which in from six to eigh
hours produced a slightly red spo
; over the point of incubation, usual
in the arm. A slight headache is pre-
duced and languor which usually last
from two to three hours. Abstinenc
from food for day is recommended a
: this period. The second inoculatio
contains billion germs, the same re
: suit noted above usually following
Ten days later the third with the sam
effect and still another ten days aftel
ward the last incubation is given. TIL
result of the last incubation is usual
less severe than are the first three.
Anti-Bodies In Blood.
1t is a well-known fact that the bloc
resists the injection of foreign bod
with a force known in medicine as tn
"anti-body" or "antiseptic." The injec
