When the disease producing germs
enter the body and attempt to do it
harm the cells of which the body is
composed resists their action, and
there is fight or war begun between
the germs and the cells. If the germs
get the better Of the fight we have
the disease, but if the body cells are
in good condition, strong and healthy
they get the better of the fight, the
germs are killed and thrown off. and
we do not have the disease. But it
looks unreasonable that two or three
germs could overpower and whip the
millions of cells OF which the body is
composed. Two facts will explain
this. The germs do not attack all of
the cells at one time, but those of
some particular part of the body; for
instance those of the lungs. and the
germs multiply very rapidly if they
can only gain a foothold for short
time. Place one typhoid fever germ
in glass of warm milk, and within
twenty-four hours the milk will be
literally swarming with millions of
the little death-dealing enemies.
Two great principles, then, are in
volved in the prevention of the pre-
ventable diseases, the first being the
prevention of the disease producing
germs from entering the body, and the
second being the placing of the body
or body cells in such a condition of
strength and vigor that they will re.
sist, overpower, or whip the germs
should they unavoidably enter the
body. Both of these principles are i'm.
portant. but if one be more so than
the other it is the proper fortifica-
ton of the body cells because it is
not always possible to avoid the
germs. Two great questions then, fol.
lowing these two great principles
arise. The first being how do we for.
tify the body cells? The second be.
ing how do we prevent the entrance
of the germ into the body? The an.
swer of the first question is a simple
matter and consists in giving few
simple rules which are these: Living
an orderly life, a well mixed diet, not
eating too much or too little, fresh
air, eight hours of sleep, eight hours
of work, eight hours of recreation.
daily exercise and bathing, avoidance
sudden change of temperature, avoid
ance of the drink habit, the drug hab-
it, the tobacco habit, and all forms of
excuses. With these simple rules
carried out daily the body turns aside
the onslaught of the disease produc.
ing germs, as the soldier of old with
his coat of mail, turned aside the dart
ing arrow or the piercing sword. One
who carries out just the opposite OF
these rules makes of his body weak
ling and an easy prey for all germs
with which he comes in contact
We should not depend upon our
healthy, well-fortified bodies alone for
protection however, but We should
make use of the other great principle
and prevent the disease producing
germs from entering our bodies. How
this may be done is best explained UNI
der the heading of each disease.

strange as it may seem this science
OF germ life which has absolutely rev.
oiutlonlzed the practice of medicine
ana surgery and the art of hygiene
was not put into practical use until
about twenty-five years ago. About
TINS time the simple microscope of old
Len"enhock was substituted by the
powerful compound microscope
through which an object looks twelve
hundred times as large as it really is.
A point of the finest needle, through
TINS powerful instrument would look
ike the top of a ball-headed man.
Now what are some of the practical
facts learned by means of the micro.
scope? We have learned that the
simplest of lowest form of life or be-
ing which has an Independent exist
ence is a small mass of matter called
cell or germ. This cell carries out
every duty or function of life, such as
that Of eating, breathing. moving. re-
producing itself etc. As we rise high
er in the scale of life the being is no
longer composed Of one cell but of
many cells grouped and held together
each cell no longer performing all of
the duties of life, but each being as
signed some special duty. Finally we
reach the human being which is COM
posed of countless millions of cells,
each being similar to the lowest form
of life and each group doing its spe-
cial work; for instance, those in the
lungs having to do with breathing,
those in the eye with seeing, those in
the muscles with movement. etc.
We have learned also, by means of
the microscope that there are hun
dreds and hundreds of different spe-
cies of this lowest form of life COM
posed of one cell and called germs.
Some of these germs are harmful to
the body or disease producers. Others
which are in the vast majority are not
harmful to the body but on the other
hand some of them are actually serv-
iceable to mankind, being necessary
in the mandatory of alcohol, certain
dyes, and many useful articles. Just
as in the animal world there are those
animals such as the snakes and wild
beasts which are the enemies of man
and those such as the horse and COW
which are of service to him.
I have gone into this detail to bring
before you the two great forces con-
cerned with the preventable diseases,
the germs upon the one hand and the
body cells upon the other.

Malarial Fever.

Malarial fever is a disease which
may be simple or severe. 1t is cost
ing our state many thousands of dol
lars. Scarcely a soul in our state
fails to have the disease sometime
during a life time. 1t is easily pre-
vented by preventing the bite of the
Anopheles mosquito which has bitten
some patient suffering with the d.
sease. The mosquito carries the
germ from the sick to the well. The
disease is prevented then by screen
ing against mosquitoes. A positive
diagnosis of the disease is made by
examining the blood of the patient,
the germ being easily seen under the
microscope and once diagnosed there
is sure cure which every patient
should take for the protection Of 9TH
ers as well as for himself.
Yellow fever, like malaria, is car
ried by mosquito. This also is pre-
vented by screening against the mos
quito.
The germs which cause measles,
mumphs and scarlet fever have not
been discovered. The prevention of
these diseases consist in strict isola-
ton of the sick, and avoidance of ex-
posture by the well.

diphtheria have been largely overcome

The A. M. E. Review.

The July number of the A. NJ. E..
Review is acknowledged. This is the
first number issued since the adjourn
ment of the General Conference. It
was issued from the Publishing House
of the Church in Philadelphia. The
General Conference voted that this
magazine should be published by the
A. NJ e. Sunday-school Union in this
city, but the editor, Dr. Reverdy g.
Ransom, is an Eastern man, and so
far as the current issue is concerned,
he has delegated to himself the
power to publish the magazine where
it suits his convenience best. He is
doing this regardless of'the fact that
ne was elected on the pledge that ne
would continue the publication Of the
magazine in Nashville, where it has
been so acceptably done the last four
years.

fayorably with those that have been

ment of the A. M. E. Church in Nash

FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 1912.
BE Not Alarmed.

Throughout the length and breadth
of this country the newspapers are
devoting an unusual amount of space
TO the doings of the Progressive Party
which is holding its first National
Convention in Chicago this week. In
the South every daily that has the
facilities to handle any news is la
boring overtime to convince the Ne
groes that the leaders in the Roose-
welt Party are their arch enemies.
They charge openly and persistently
that it is Lilly White" party.
1t is not pleasant to think OF Ne
groes being told that they cannot come
in on the ground floor of the new or
ganization; and that is just what Mr..
Roosevelt has boldly said concerning
the Negroes of the South. 1t is a
matter that has stunned the most OF
us For we did not expect that such
a decree would be sent out by the
chief of the new Progressive Party.
But in connection with this stand, Mr..
Roosevelt has made it clear that his
party will recognize more fully than
any of the other National parties
those Negroes who live north of the
Mason and Dixon line and in the bor-
der states
On another page in this issue we
give the letter of Mr.. Roosevelt to =
Mr.. Harris in Georgia. We ask that
every Negro read this letter carefully,
and that it be given sober considera-
ton. The question for Negroes to
decide is whether or not it will be
wise to accept this new party's offer
or to remain with the old Republican
party, or to cast their lot with the
Democratic party. The situation is
one that must be studied carefully
The newspapers in the different sec
tions put their own constructions on
the utterances of Mr.. Roosevelt, and
they are adopting the same tactics in
regard to the Convention in Chicago
this week, so far as the Negro is con
cerned, as they do in all cases wher
there is an attempt to discredit the
black man.
In Florida, Georgia and Mississippi
the Negro delegates have been re
fused seats in the Convention. II
Florida the whole state was throw
out; but these are not the only state
in the South that have delegates il
the Convention, and so the reports il
the newspapers are not clear. TIL
full reasons why these delegates hav
been thrown out are not stated, bu
just so much is given as will discoul
age and embarrass the Negro voter!
The wise course for Negroes to pui
sue will be to act slowly. Theodor
Roosevelt is a great leader, His r,
sourcefulness seems boundless, an
if the black men will only be patier
and prudent they will win out in tn
end.

political activities were merely
source of harm, and of very grave
harm, to their own~race. We, on the
contrary, are hoping to see in the Ma
tional Progressive Convention colored
delegates from the very places where
we expect to develop our greatest
strength, and we hope to see these
men of such character that their acti-
vities shall be of benefit not only to
the people at large, but especially to
their own race.
For forty-five years the Republican
party has striven to build up in tho
Southern States in question a party
based on the theory that the pyramid
will, unsupported, stand permanently
on its apex instead of on its base.
For forty-five years the Republican
party has endeavored in these states
to build up party in which the
Negro should be dominant, a party
consisting almost exclusively of Ne
groes. Those who took the lead in
this experiment were actuated by
high motives, and no one should now
blame them because of what, with
the knowledge they then had and un-
der the then existing circumstances,
they strove to do. But in actual
practice the result has been lamenta-
BILE from every standpoint. 1t has
been productive of evil to the col
ored men themselves; 1t has been
productive only of evil to the white
men of the South; and it has worked
the gravest injury to, and finally the
disruption and destruction Of, the

"There has in the past been venal-

contest for the nomination for Presi-

Chicago last June the breakup of the
Republican party was forced by those
South. In the primary states of the
North the colored men in most places
voted substantially as their white
neighbors voted. But in the Southern
States, where there was no real Re.
publican party, and where colored
men, or whites, selected purely by
colored men, were sent to the conven-
ton representing nothing but their
own greed for money, the majority
was overwhelmingly anti-progressive.
Seven-eighths of the of the men from
these peterborough districts upheld
by their votes the fraudulent actions Of
the men who in that convention de
fed and betrayed the will of the
mass of the plain people of the party

but criminal to disregard the teach
