Helen Keller's Discovery.

In the December American Maga-
zine, Helen Keller writes an article
entitled The Hand of the World. =
Miss Keller is now 30 years old and
has been deaf, dumb and blind since
babyhood. She is at the same time
one of the most intelligent people in
the world An extract from the ar
ticle follows:
LAS the years went by, and | read
more widely, learned that the mis-
cries and failures of the poor are not
always due to their own faults, that
multitudes of men, for some strange
reason, fail to share in the much
talked of progress of the world.
shall never forget the pain and amaze
ment which | felt when | came to
examine the statistics Of blindness, its
causes and it's connection with other
calamities that befall thousands of
my fellow-men l learned how work
men are stricken by the machine
hands that they are operating.
1T became clear to me that the
labor saving machine does not save
the laborer. 1t saves expense and
makes profit for the owner of the
machine. The worker has no ahare
in the increased production due to i'm.
proved methods; and, what is worse,
as the eagle was killed by the arrow
winged with his own feather, so the
hand of the world is wounded by its
own skill.
Step by step my investigation of
blindness led me into the industrial
world. And what a world it i! !
How different from the world of my
DC8ISlS IHuSL InCS uEflIlHCAAlHgIg
world of facts-a world of misery
and degradation, of blindness, crooked
ness and sin, a world struggling
against the unknown, against itself
How reconcile this world of fact with
the bright world of my imagining?
My darkness has been filled with the
light of intelligence, and. behold, the
outer day-lit world was stumbling and
cropping in social blindness.
AT first was most unhappy; but
deeper study restored my confidence.
BY learning the suffering and burdens
of men, became aware as never he
fore of the life-power that has sur
vived the forces of darkness, the power
which, though never completely vic
torious, is continuously conquering.
The very fact that we are still here
carrying on the contest against the
hosts of annihiliation proves that on
the whole the battle has gone for
humanity"

These figures are Of interest from
more than one view point. For exam
pie, whether the ward with only Is no
tees served during the month has any
thing more to its credit than the ward
with six times that number could only
be determined in a tour of inspection
through the wards named. 1t is en-
tireIy within the probabilities that the
ward making the biggest demand upon
the Departments services is the ward
that is making the most strenuous eff
forts to improve its physical conditions;
and that the ward having the smallest
number Of notices served may be care
less and Indifferent as to the things
that make for community comfort and
safety. And, once more, both of these
probabilities may be far wide of the
real facts. But, however this may be,
the fact still remains that the figures
given are Of interest and deserving of
study.

Wednesday morning, John W.
Worthington, President of the Ameri-
can Bank, III n. Dearborn Street, re-
turned home from his trip to Mound
Bayou, Miss, where he went to inspect
the property of the Mound Bayou Oil,
Cotton Seed and Mil Company.
He found the property in frst-elass
condition and far beyond his expeeta-
tions. Charles Banks, is President of
this company. The main building is
400 feet long, built of solid brick and
three stories high and when the ma
ehinery is installed in it and every
thing put in running order the entire
plant will cost over 100000.
One hundred Colored men, women
and children will be employed in it,
and Mr.. Worthington states with much
pleasure that it is one of the finest
and most extensive plants Of its kind
in any section of the south and Just
as soon as the chain of title, to the
property is perfected, he will make n
loan on it for $4,000, and he init
mated that it will be one Of the best
and the safest loans that any bank or
any one can make at any place or time.
First Mortgage Bonds will be issued,
bearing per cent, interest running,
against the property, ranging from
800 to $3.50 and $500, they will be in
the reach of all Colored people or
others who have small sums of money
to invest in absolute good security.
While in Mound Bayou, Mr.. Worth
ington was the guest Of both Mr..
Montgomery and Mr.. Banks, and he
states that he never Jared better in
his life. That both of those gentlemen
reside in elegant homes, which are
neatly and artistieally presided over
by their intelligent wives.
Mound Bayou, is strictly a Negro
town, all Of its city officials belong to
the Colored race, including the station
agent, the postmaster, and not q White
man of any description, permanently
resides in it, nor is engaged in bust
ness in 1t. -
The population of the town is about
1000, and it is well governed, well
lighted, thoroughly sanitary and in a
aourishing condition, and as stated be-
fore, Mr.. Warrington, is well pleased
with his visit to it, and states with
pleasure, that the ColOred people are
making rapid and substantial progress
in that section Of the south.

National Crusade on Tuberculosis Day
against use Of Fake Remedies for
Consumption.
From thousands Of pulpits in all parts
of the United States, fake cures for
consumption will be exposed and de-
nOunced on tuberculosis Gay, October
9th. This is part of the program for
the movement announced to-day by the
National Association for the Study and
Prevention Of tuberculosis.
Literature giving information on
fraudulent and alleged "cures" for
consumption will be sent to clergymen
all over the country, and an organized
crusade against the traffic in these
drugs and devices will be instituted.
The literature win be sent to ministers
either directly from the National As
ISOLATION Office in New York or through
the many state and local anti-tubereu-
losis associations scattered throughout
the country. 1t is estimated that over
100000 elergymen will be reached in
this way.
From actual records on file in the Of
fee of The National Association, it is
estimated that the volume of business
done annually by the various concerns
who sell fake remedies for tuberculosis
amounts to well over $15,OOO,OOO. The
number of these remedies now being
used as so-caIled "eures" is over 500
Three classes of "eures" are distin-
guished by the National Association,
In the first class are included hundreds
of devices and drugs which can be
bought for any sum ranging from ten
cents to five dollars at a drug store
The second class of "cures" includes
the institutes" professors" OF
companies of " doctors, who for a con.
sideration guarantee to cure eonsump.
tion by some secret method Of which
they are the sole proprietors. There
are nearly one hundred-ffty of these
institute frauds in the United States
cheating the people out of millions OF
dollars annually.
In the third class Of "eures" are
placed a number of homemade rene.
dies, which either through ignorance OF
superstition have been advanced as
treatments for tuberculosis. Some of
these are onions, lemons, rattlesnake
poison, coal dust, lime dust, pigs blood,
dog oil, milk "strippings," and even
alcohol.
None Of these remedies will cure con-
sumption, declares The National Asso-
citation. No drug, gas or other material
has yet been discovered, which when
eaten, inhaled or injected into the sys-
TEN, will kin the germs of tuberculosis
without doing serious injury to the
body. The only real cure for ,tuber-
culosis recognized by The National As
ISOLATION consists Of the combination of
fresh air, good food, and rest taken
under the direction of competent ply
stefan.
