Everyone who heard Attorney Ander-
sons argument to the jury pronounced
it "master piece of legal ingenuity. 3"
This ease will 60 down in history as
one of the great murder trials in Cook
County where a Colored lawyer won on
his merits.
Attorney Anderson has handled some
notable murder and attempted murder
cases, among which are the MeGrear
ease which Attorney Anderson also won
on the plea of self defense. This ease
is remarkable because young McGrear
of Evanston, had slashed White man
horribly. The state showed where the
knife had cut into the coat in ten or
twelve different places. A White jury,
after Attorney Anderson had finished
his able argument in the case, returned
a verdict of not guilty. The Capt.
Streeter murder case, the Banker Spald-
ing embezzlement case were also sue
eessfully handled by Attorney Ander-
son.
Note: Attorney Anderson wishes to
publicly thank Judge Mcdonald, the
democratic Judge who tried WOOdson,
for his fairness and impartiality.

HEALTH NOTES.

Our health is largely what we make
it.
With a plentiful supply of air and
sunshine always in our homes will be
also a gOOdly supply of bodily health
and vigor.
Dirt means disease and death. Clean
illness means health and happiness.
Flat jewellers should not keep animal
pets. Steam heated apartments are not
adapted for housing dogs, cats and
human beings together.
Good milk should not only be rich
and pure, it should be clean.
The mildest cases of either Dip
liberia or Scarlet Fever are as danger
GUS for well children to be associated
with as are those of the most mahg-
nant type, and the most dangerous of
all is what is called the unreeognized
case of either of the diseases mentioned.
1t is well known that from the mildest
cases of either Diphtheria or Scarlet
Fever the most malignant form may be,
and often is, contracted. Many times
people will insist upon the early term
ination of quarantine for the reason,
as they put it, "The child was hardly
sick at all" For the same reason, too,
they viii think that the disease "could
not be catching" This is a serious
mistake, as the child with a light at
tack is just as dangerous, as a means
of spreading the contagion, as is the
child that has the disease in its worst
form.
Here is a case that illustrates what
we are trying to make clear: A young
married man with a wife and little
child complained of not feeling well for
nearly two weeks, but despite this fact
continued at his work. At the end of
this time his wife was taken with
Scarlet Fever in its worst form and a
few days later, after her removal to
the hospital, the baby was stricken with
the same disease. Within ten DAYS
after their admission to the hospital
both the mother and baby died. An
examination of the husband, made at
the time his wife was taken sick,
showed that he had had the Scarlet
Fever in a mild form and was still
suffering from it. The only trouble was
that it was so mild that it was not
recognized as being Scarlet Fever, but
it cost him the lives of his entire fam
lily. Mild cases spread more eOntagion
than do the severe ones.

our Redeemer, Man our Brother" A

DOUBLE RED CROSS OF SAME PRO
PORTIONS WILL BE USED BY
ALL NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Or
CARNATIONS.

A special committee of The National
Association for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis, of which DR..
Henry Barton Jacobs of Baltimore is
chairman, announces today the exact
proportions of the double red cross, the
international tuberculosis emblem,
which have been adopted for use in the
United States. Every organization or
institution dealing with tuberculosis
will be urged to use the emblem in its
correct proportions.
Although the double red cross was
adopted for use in the United States in
1906 as the symbol of the crusade
against tuberculosis, no effort was made
to standardize the shape or proportions,
with the result that hundreds of differ
emily formed emblems are now being
used in this country. After a year of
study of the history and, artistic merits
of all of the designs available, the Ma
tional Association has finally chosen one
in which all of the arms are pointed,
the two eross-arms being Of the same
length. The width of the cross is tax
en- as the unit in determining the pro-
portions. The length Of the lower leg
is Z units; the arms are 3 units on
either side; the point above the arms,
PA units; and the distance between
the arms, IL units. These measure
ments hold good for any size.
The double red cross was first adopted
as the symbol of the international Anti
Tuberculosis Association in Berlin, in
October, 1902. The proposer of the
symbol was DR.. G. sersiron Of Paris,
who is now Associate Secretary Of
