CURING TUBERCULOSIS AS AN IN
VEST1IENT.

DR.. H. L Barnes, Superintendent of
the Rhode Island State Sanitorium, has
recently demonstrated by some inter
esting studies Of patients discharged
as apparently cured" from that in
stitution, that q sanatorium is a sound
investment for any state or city. The
gross earnings of 10 ex-patients OBJ
tanned in 1911 amounted to $I02, T52,
and those Of 211 cases in 1912 to sll2,-
OIL By applying the same average
earnings to all ex-patients of the san
atOrium living in 1911 and 1912, Dr..
Barnes concludes that their income in
these two years was 1851, 900. This
sum Is more than three times the cost
Of maintenance Of the sanatorium in
ending interest at 4 per cent on the
original investment and depreciation
charges. Dr.. Barnes concludes, how
ever, 'fWhile institutions for the cure
Of tuberculosis are good investments,
there is good reason for thinking that
institutions for the isolation of far ad-
vaneed eases would be still better in
vestments."

Surely no one who worshiped at the

The musical selections of the choir
were so sweet and soothing and up
lifting. They were the old Wesleyan
and Toplady hymns that stir the soul
and make one feel as Handel put it

The pastors sermon, poetic in strain,
beautiful in thought, and calm, yet
earnest in delivery, found an echo in
each heart and stirred many souls to
prOfoundest depths. He began by
reading that touching poem of Annie
r. Clark s entitled cart Thou Afraidi''
and then announced his text-words
Mark 1882, "And as they followed,
they were afraid His theme was
Following, but afraid"
Two persons united with the church
at this hour of worship.
In the evening quite an interesting
programme was presented. Hon. J.

WHY BIRTHS AND DEATHS
SHOULD BE RECORDED.
BIRTHS.

In last weeks talk we tried to show
why deaths should be recorded and
gave some of the more important rea-
sons therefor. This week We want to
show why birth registration is of no
less importance as affecting the child
and its relations to many of the most
perplexing of our social and industrial
problems. There should be a record
made of every child that is born in
order:
l. That the birth, date of parentage
and other essential information for sta
tistical and Identification purposes may
be collected and officially recorded and
preserved.
. That the ages Of school children
may be definitely known, thus aiding
in the intelligent enforcement of com
pulsory school laws.
3. That laws regulating the employ
ment of children in shops, stores and
mills may be enforced and the chill
dren of the poor thereby protected.
l. That all children under the legal
age may be prevented from being
forced to work in hazardous or dan
gerous occupations.
5. That employers who comply with
the laws affecting child labor be pro-
tected from the competition of those
employers who violate such laws.
6. That in prosecutions dealing with
''the age of consent" they nay be
based upon authenticated records, and
not determined by guess work and
faulty memories.
z. That, as often happens in the
case of deaths, litigation in the mat
ter of inheritanees and estates, all mat
tiers in dispute may be settled by the
easy obtainment of definite knowledge
of the ages Of all the persons inter
ested or affected by the matters at is
sue.
s. That the American born children
of foreign born parents may have Ger
titled evidence of their American birth
and thus be able to establish their eiti
zenship when visiting the eOuntrie:
where their parents were born.
9. That it may be made easy to de
termine the legal or voting age of al
person seeking to exercise this inalien
able right of citizenship.
10. That blindness may be pre-
vented by prompt medical attention Il
the infected eyes of the newborn.
IL. That needless sickness ant
death among both mothers and babie
may be prevented by immediate at
tention by those engaged in organ
lied child welfare work.
IL. That health officials i and al
those engaged in health and eommunit!
welfare work may be able to Wsg
an intelligent and effective warfar
against the preventable ills Of chill
life and thus bring about higher stand
ards Of health and happiness.

MILTON T. BAILEY SETS FORTH
his VIEWS ON THE POWER OF
ORGANIZATION.
Thursday evening, Milton T. Bailey
addressed the Colored Business Men ,:
Association, which met at the Baker
Hotel, 1912 Wabash Avenue, as fol
lows on the ''Power of Organization y
1t is indeed a pleasure to me, to
have this distinct honor Of respond
ing to the toast on "The Power of
Organization. 1 have long since de-
sired to connect myself with some move
ment which would both encourage and
foster a permanent organization among
the Colored people, especially along the
line of business. For long I have felt
the vital need Of such an organization,
and have deplored the fact that there
is so little interest taken by US, as a
race, in organization for our race up
lift in a business way.
If we will go back to the earliest
history, and trace the worlds progress,
up until now, we will find that every
thing lasting, good and noble, has been
affected through a strong and power
full organization.
The power of organization may best
be shown by the lack of it. If it is
true that a chain is as strong as its
weakest link, it is also equally true
of a race or a nation. The many fb-
res which 60 to make up a complete
cord or cable, taken individually, can
be snapped in the twinkling of an eye,
but taken collectively, they may come
to take in tow, the mightiest ship. The
effort of any individual may come
through the strict application or ex-
ertion applied to the weakest part.
A single weakness or a single defect
may cause the complete ruin of any
otherwise very sound whole. Quebec
was considered almost impregnable-
completely walled in-as they thought,
vet Wolfe found one single weak point,
and that was the cause of the French
Quebec downfall.
Achilles was invulnerable, so myth
runs, except in his heel-supernaturally
strong otherwise, the single weakness,
was his undOing. 1t was Hannibal who
really put Carthage on the map, and
made her a worthy rival of her pow
erful sister, Rome. The organization
and harmony in the Carthaginian ranks,
enabled Hannibal to swing his army
between the heaven and earth, and as
if on wings, project them on the plains
of Rome, eonquering all the while, and
vet, in after years, the people grew up
and knew not Hannibal. Discussions
arose, bitterness followed and finally,
dismembered, until Carthage, no more,
dwindled away TO a mere pygmy s
power. This is the result of the lack
of organization.
Rome lives in the memory of the
men today and gives US the basic prin-
eiples of law, because of its organized
power, and Rome today might be the
power of yesterday, but for the fact
of disorganizatiOn 1t was taken piece
by piece by the barbarie tribes of
Northern Europe. Where once was or
der, law and dispatch, we find now, con-
fusion, anarchy and tardiness-the re-
suit of disorganization.

Of the Brave, upon which We plume

unparalleled example of the power OF
organization
Looking back to the articles Of Con-
federation, we would see the Thirteen
Original States were not organized,
but it remained for the guiding hand
of genius to bring union out Of dis
union and organization out Of disor-
ganization, until, now, the Constitu-
ton holds all of our territory together

dares to shake q warning finger IN the

Organization has done this, but to
come down to ourselves, it is sad
thing to me, when 1 look around and
see the possibilities, which my race
should fully realize. There are depths
of knowledge, as yet unfathomed, faith
enable, broad fields of usefulness, as
vet unexplored, explorable, and majestic
heights of fame unattained, but attain
able. These await alike, the inevita-
BILE hour-the expansion Of Ethiopia s
wings, while Che Negro stands idly by,
listening to the voice Of the Siren,
until be becomes a hated thing in the
sight of humanity and a mOekery in
the sight of God.
We as Colored men are eonseien-
tiously, however we may assert TO the
contrary, not doing all that we might
do in a business way. As Rev Thomas
Dixon, a man whose figures Of speech
are well knit together and whose sen
fences are more to be admired than
either his logic or religion, made no
serious mistake when he stated that for
thousands of years the Negro has
looked upon the mighty ship at sea
without ever attempting to use his
natural resources in building one.
That for thousands Of years he has
crushed the diamond under foot, with
out ever approaching its value, all the
while, still crying that we might have
4 chance.
The wheel of fortune does not al
ways turn in the same direction. To-
day is seed-time, tomorrow the time of
harvest. If we would have the pearl
of great price, We must dive for it. 1t

TRAMPS COST

SPRINGFIELD. MASS, Nov. 15.-
The cost OF trsmps Of the country
is 5000 900 a day" said Professor Will
liam Bailey, Of the chair OF econo-
mics at Yale University, in an address
on The American Tramp" before
the Hope Churca Brotherhood.
"Jails are OF no value in solving
the problem. Tramps discuss the rel
alive merits of lock-ups and 1ails In
the various towns much as the Or
binary citizen discusses summer re-
sorts
after pros and cons have been
carefully weighed, tie tramp decides
in which place he VIII commit a mis-
demeanor which will sta blish him IN
a comforta BILE jail for the winter"
There are four grades OF tramps,
ranging from the lowest. the tomato
can" variety. to, gypsies. Profess n
Bailey says The former, with the
proverbial can strung over his shout
der Is not exaggerated in the least
in comic magazine caricatures
The tomato can tramp is old In ex-
perience II not In years He knows
that he has not long to live, but seem.
not to mind this phase Of existence
HIS outlandish attire often includes
two or three suits, one worn over the
other. He spends his days In begging
and sleeps In crates, on lawns or In
Railways.
Next above the knights Of the To-
mato Can are the "dossers," so-called
because they have the price Of bed
In a doss house in which lodgings
may be had at from to Is cents a
night The "dosser" is vain d COO
siders himself respectable citizen
The everyday hobo" who comes
next in the scale. Is more digniflad
and Of higher grade Of intelligence
than the "dossRr."
The gypsy Is the highest type u
tramp. though the American gypsy is
not really q gypsy at all The gypsy
has two or three wagons, several
horses, more dogs and often numer.
Gus children. His principal occupa-
ton Is swapping horses. The woms m
tell fortunes and the bows earn odd
nickels doing gymnastic stunts.
