last few years take an undecided step
against it, as we know it is only lead
ing to greater and graver things.
AS the average individual does not
know it's only for the law Of the state
that we are permitted in these
theaters of discrimination, and as 1t
is we get inside Of the door and no
further and any Negro with any de-
gree of pride and intelligence cannot,
will not and should not accept such
conditions, most especially where
there awaits him q cordial reception
with courteous treatment in the house
and management to which / am now
calling your attention. ~
: hope and feel that every colored
citizen of Des Moines will arise to
this occasion and no longer lend their
patronage to the Jim Crow theaters
of Des Moines.
As the present manager has said,
if we give to him our presence in
sufficient numbers to show our appre-
citation of his outlay of money he will
in due time bring forth for our bene-
fit what we have not had at any time
in the past history Of Des Moines, the
employment of colored vaudeville and
theatrical performers soon. We all
should feel of this. Of course in Or
der to do this it will mean an addi-
tional expenditure Of thousand or
more dollars in the matter of stage
settings, etc.
Now is there any reason, my dear
readers, why this cannot be so as IN
cities like Indianapolis, Chicago and
others containing a Negro population.
Let US all cooperate and endeavor to
bring about this most edifying condi-
ton for our colored citizens of Des
Moines. !
Thanking you in advance for SER
vice you will give. Respectfully,

HEALTH HINTS.
A. j. Booker.

There is, in the connection Of in
fections and fevers, an old idea that
many still cling to of inward fever"
If there is fever there is fever, there
is no. such intelligent symptom as IN
ward fever" nor is there at this time
any specific agent, save cool water.
for checking fevers. Fevers 'break"
wnen Ine Douy mas WORKED up surti-
cient reaction to overcome the HARM
full effect of the agent causing the dis
ability. jew 49,.
Fever is an indication Of the body
reaction to an invading infection, and
unless it assumes high proportions
we who try to do the right Thing do
not attempt to fool people by "break-
ing up a fever. The chills, the
fever, the headache, the aching, the
loss of appetite are all the result of
one factor, and when the underlying
cause is reached all the symptoms
disappear.
Patients with fever are allowed all
the cold water they want unless it
causes them to vomit. The Swater
has several effects, It cools the sys-
tenn, dilutes the poisons floating
through the body, and keeps them
from being SO irritating to the kid
neys; it promotes perspiration, which
also contains some of the poisonous
material, and promotes the action Of
the bowels, cleansing them and often
stimulates the appetite.
Pain is valuable inasmuch as it at
tracts attention and enforces rest.
Some pain is bound to be present in
a fractured limb, or an abscess or in
pleurisy. When the broken bone is
properly set, the abscess opened, or
the plura held quietly the pain sub
sides. 1t is pleasant to the patient to
have this pain Immediately relieved.
but it is rather a high price to pay
when we receive so much morphine
and so many hypodermic injections.
The dortors who relieve pain most
quickly are usually the ones who are
most gifted at writing Cor morphine
or some of it.
In all disease process the element
of time is prominent factor and it
is we'll to consider this, for when we
are run down by the causing agent
it is we'll to conserve our energy and
strength.
The kind hearted nuisance who
knows little something beyond all
medical knowledge is still with us.
The cures for diphtheria; the immedi-
ate remedy to break the fever, the
sure cure for rheumatism. Why they
do not get rich or sell these wonder
full remedies or keep still when per-
son has quite enough to do to think
of their illness is one of the wonders
of the age and the price we pay for
having friends.
