"Spooksl" grinned Jarvis, apprecia-
lively. He was beginning to be glad he
had come. But he saw no answering
CLEAN in the young woman's sober
face

piled soberIy, "but the castle is haunted

the silly natives and said he would 90

The Princess shook her head and her
dark eyes grew very large. mo one

terly-without the slightest clew.
Since then two others have dIsap-
peared."

But now my brother has gone in and
they haven't heard from him! Her

The Treasure.
With true chivalry the young man
slightly turned his eyes away that he
might not see the tears.
Now, that's it," he declared brisk
~ "You want me to go in and find
your brother"
Yes, that's it, she cried eagerly
Save my brother, but" she added
quickly, you must know about this
locket. 1t tells where TO find the treas

Jarvis ran his other hand through his
hair and stared at the trinket in be-
wilderment They were coming too fast
for him, as he had said.
Treasure! What is treasurer
MY grandfather is known to have
converted all his wealth into Spanish
gold" she explained. "to finance col
onization scheme in Cuba. It amounted
to about a million dollars in your mon
ey."
The knight whisted. "A million! Eli?
How long ago did this happen?"
Fifteen years ago-and nobody has
found it."
Jarvis apparently arranged all these
facts in his mind and then inquired:
why did you come TO American"
The Princess held up the locket "A
part Of the story was that a plan had

could never be found Quite by acct
dent, I recently learned that this plan

up, Ito find your brother and solve the

Dona Maria appeared to give the mat

"Highness is correct" she told him,
with some hesitation.
Jarvis studied this over before he pur-

To Be Continued Tomorrow.
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-03-15

tens of thousands of children are horribly
afflicted with disease of the eyes-and thou
sands are totally blind-because ignorance and
twin sister, superstition, prevent the mother
from destroying hies-even when they cluster
on a baby'S eyes.
Here in America another kind of ignorance
plays as harmful a part, almost We do not
think it sin to kill flies, but ignorance is indif-
terent to the disease-bearing pests; flies bring
disease to the faces and to the food of children;
dogs and cats, bearing disease in their fur, are
allowed to be the playmates of young children
and ignorant parents wonder that the chill
dren are sick.
Consumption, that DIR. Friedman hopes to
cure will not be cured until the lowest forms
of poverty shall have been cured.
Remember that EVERY HUMAN BODY
CONTAINS THE BACILLUS OF TUBERCU-
LOSIS--that is 20 say the germ Of cOnsump-
tiOn-a few hours after the child is born.
Every filthy, dark tenement is breeding
ground for the germs. Cows and other
animals i'll cared for, i'll fed, shut out from
fresh air and sunlight breed the tubercEe
bacilli.
No human being in our civilization can
possibly aNOlo taxing III the Dacllll Oh con-,
sumption.
Your baby is born to-day absolutely
sterile" throughout its digestive tract. And,
before il is a day old millions of germs swarm
within it. In few days its collection of germs
includes the germ of consumption, ALWAYS,
and the germs of other diseases nearly always.
1t would be vain to protect the child from
these germs For the human body MUST GET
USED TO THEM. and its protecting white
blood cOrpusces must learn to fight them.
If you kept your child free from cOnsump-
ton germs until it reached the age of twenty it
would inevitably die at once when the first
germs entered its system. The South Sea
Islanders and our own Indians of North
America died like sick sheep the moment
civilization" brought the consumption germ
among them
1t was not whiskey-as we often say-but
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-03-15

consumption and smallpox that killed off the
Indians. Their blood had not been taught by
vaccination or gradually acquired semi-im-
munity to fight those diseases, and they were
helpless the moment the germs entered their
bodies
The important thing is that the inevitable
infection of the young child with the tubercu-
lOsis germ shall not be so violent and sudden as
to make the system submit before learning to
fight; and also that the infection shall not find
the child's or the adults blood in weakened
condition through poor food, or otherwise.
Give the same dose of consumption germs at
the same time to two children, one we'll fed and
strong, the other i'll fed and siclIy.
The weIl-fed child will throw off the disease,
keep down the growth of baclIi below the
danger point The other child will die.
Children surrounded at home with con-
sumption germs in poor tenements will surely
get the disease and eventually die of it.
They are taken-a few of them only, unfOr-
tunately-tO preventorium, and there they get
fresh air, sunlight and GOOD FOOD. They
gain in weight grow strong, conquer the germs
and LIVE. That tells you how closely poverty
and disease are allied
Ignorance develops disease and death.
Ignorance does not know how to avoid in
lection or the spreading of disease. ignorance
always f-sufficient-scOffs at scientific
truths ignorance in its worst form Of brutal
superstition refuses even to fight against dis
ease, saying 1T is Gods will" that hundreds
of thousands of children should die painful
deaths-as though any being but vile and
malevOlent devil could desire painful death for
innocent children and horrible mental suffering
for their mothers.
Ignorance, poverty and superstition have
been too long teaching submission to the sup
posed will of some 'divine power" constantly
creating children only to murder them
Education stops THAT nonsense, and pros
perity feeds the child, while knowledge pro-
tects it.
Let us hope that DR.. Friedmann's plan for
injecting into the body mild, attenuated or nom
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-03-15

poisonous forms of tubercular germs may prove
a success Wonders have been done in that
way.
The diphtheritic serum, taken from the
horse, now enables doctors to laugh at
diphtheria and save millions of children
Friedmann's cure-sO it is guessed-is a
tubercuIar germ developed in the body of the
turtle, a cOId-bOOded animal. This cold
blOOded consumption is less viruIent and
destructive than the usual kind that we get in
our bodies.
The phagOcytes (white blood cOrpusces
that attack disease germs) are able to handle
the bacilli that come, rather feeble, from the
cold blood of Mr.. Turtle. And by practising
on these weak turtle germs the little inside
defenders of our blood learn how to attack and
wipe out the more dangerous bacillus when he
appears.
1t is an interesting theory; it has worked
marvelOusly in other lines of scientific work.
Everybody will hope that Dr. friedman can
do all that he thinks he can do.
But 1t is not wise to hope too much.
And remember this: Whatever the cure,
THE BLOOD WITHIN YOU MUST DO THE
REAL WORK OF DESTROYING GERMS
And to work well the blood must be strong
and WELL FED.
Therefore, the fight against disease as
against all of our worst evils. is the old fight
against POVERTY WHICH BREEDS IGNO-
RANCE and IGNORANCE which breeds
POVERTY
Give the people knowledge and food, sun
light and fresh air-and in the end you will
have race, and even an entire globe, whence
the germs of disease shall have been driven
as we have driven out ferOci0us animals and
poisonous snakes.
In that day we may be healthy without
being forced to take into our bodies modified
vaccination doses of smallpox, or gentle,
Weak-backed consumption germs from the
turtle,
Until disease DOES DISAPPEAR, however,
be grateful 10 the scientists who fight so won
derfuliy-and don't waste your time on the
Weak-minded, sentimental brothers and sisters
that denOunce vaccination or imagine they
have discovered some system of curing dis
ease without actually doing ANYTHING about it.
The Buddhist gentleman inagines that he
can improve his health by standing on one foot,
closing one nOstril and pronouncing the mystic
word "Om."
He is mistaken He really needs to sit down
with both feet in bathtub splash himself with
soap and water, and take deep breaths through
BOTH H0strLs.
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-03-15

What the world needs as much as a cure is
to understand disease and its causes. KNOW
CAUSES AND YOU MAY FIND REMEDIES.
Disease comes from dirt, is born in dirt and
lives in dirt. Cleanliness is fatal to harmful
germs and disease is the work of germs
Filth, which breeds disease, is the result of
IGNORANCE and POVERTY.
If you could suddenly do away with those
twin sisters of evil, diseases like consumption
Tcu,d ho as rare as wolves or poisonous reptiles
in weli-settIed country
Consumption is especially the child of
poverty and ignorance.
Poverty means BODIES BADLY FED, and
presumption grows in the ill-fed body.
Poverty means lack of fresh air and sun
Iicht. Fresh air, sunlight and good food are
TIE cures for consumption.
There is no use in talking of "wiping out
consumption unless you talk also of wiping
out poverty and ignorance. Those are your
BIG enemies; the invisible disease germs are
camp followers that trail along with the great
social evils
it. is true that science, properly backed,
fights disease with ever-inCreaSing power.
The germs of disease are fought with special
pOisOns that attack and destroy the harmful
bacillus without harming the individual. And
disease bacilli are fought and destroyed by
their own brothers and sisters, developed out
side of the human body in a shape less virulent
and destructive than the germs in the human
body.
In the long run, however, it must be
remembered by individuals, by doctors and by
government that poverty itself is DISEASE,
and ignorance is disease of the mind that
produces disease of the body. Disease will
give way to good health only as rapidly as
ignorance and poverty give way before educa-
ton and increasing prosperity.
No science will wipe the plague out of
Asiatic countries until at least part of the filth
and poverty that go with ignorance and super
stitiOn shall have been wiped out.
The miserable fanatics with false religions
that have so long kept humanity back actually
permit the disease-breeding flies to cover the
eyes of their babies-because they think it
sin to kill a fly. And in Egypt, for instance,
