THE CHARITY THAT COMES FROM A HEART
FULL OF LOVE AND PITY is REAL CHARITY

Inc Q1H6T6QC6 between OrSdulZSu,
statistical charity and that charity
which comes from a heart full of love
and pity for humanity is splendidly
Illustrated in the case of Mrs. Will
liam Niemer, 1863 N. Carpenter street.
Mrs. Niemer, her husband and five
children live in three tiny rooms in
the rear of the house, rooms that are
kept so very clean even with so many
children trampng in and out of the
snow.
1t is the first time Mrs. Niemer has
known severe trouble in her married
life. Her husband is a sober, indus
trious, Woodworking man, who has
always been good to his own.
Since they came to Chicago from
Missouri, seven months ago, he has
worked steadily until Christmas,
when the shop which does job work
in japanning began to get slack and
Mr.. Niemer for a while just had a
couple of days work each week.
What little money they had went
quickly, for growing children are al
ways hungry. And they moved in the
three rear rooms when poverty show
ed its ugly, grim face.
Then came actual want. And Mrs. /
Niemer, who will bring her sixth child
into the world in less than a month,
desperately sought aid of the county,
who told her they would send them
all back to Missouri, where they
would be dumped in the same condi-
ton of poverty and no work, but that
the city could not help people who
had only lived here seven months.
Then Mrs. Niemer sought out the
United Charities. She told her his
tory and the history of her. husband,
and her condition is so evident it did
not need to be commented upon. The
U. c. graciously gave her 75-cent
order for groceries and promised to
send an investigator.
The housewife knows just how far

again and the U. G. investigator had
not called.
Then Mrs. Niemer went to the
Wayfarers' Settlement and met lit
tie nurse, girl who talks of the 'love
of God" in her heart.
The little nurse went to the U. c..
on the 18th of January and told the
story over again, vouching for it's
truthfulness To her they gave an
order for 81 worth of groceries and
again promised to send an investi-
gator
Nothing more has been heard from
the U. c. So far as they are con-
cerned, the five children and the
father and the expectant mother
might all have starved or frozen to
death.
But the little nurse with the love
of God in her heart went to her
friends, who are struggling along as
she is, and they gave as much as they
could, enough to tide Mrs. Niemer
through a little while when her hus-
band did not even have a days work.
And the international Brotherhood
Welfare Assn, the hoboes, the boys
who so often go hungry themselves,
who so often haven't any place of
shelter, who so many times are I'M
able to get work, heard of the case
and they have given Mrs. Niemer GER
tificates for 500 pounds of coal.
Mrs. Niemer, with tears in her eyes,
talked to Day Book reporter She
is so ashamed that they must ask aid
of anyone, and she is so hopeless
about how they will tide over the
time until her husband is able to
work steadily and provide for them
once more.
Asked what she would do if the
trouble continued until the little
stranger arrives, she slowly shook
her head.

every infection is not followed by
tuberculosis. because Nature has
given our bodies the power to over
come disease germs and their
poisons up TO certain degree. We
call this power of resistance "im-
munity." This immunity or power
Of resistance to any given disease
varies in different races, and in diff
ferent individuals Of the same race.
For example, the Negro race is
naturally immune to yellow fever,
but shows little resistance TO
tuberculosis. The latter is true
also Of the American Indian and the
natives Of the South Sea Islands.
Certain families or strains may
show less resistance than the rest
Of the race. This fact led TO the
old view that tuberculosis was
hereditary. The disease itself is
never inherited, but the tendency to
tuberculosis is, and, what is more
important il the parents have
tuberculosis, there is more chance
for the infection of their children.
We have reason to believe that in
lection is more liable to take place
during the earlier years of life than
later on.
Now whatever the natural state
Of immunity may be, il is frequently
altered or weakened by many con-
ditions and causes, and in this way
any one of them may be, and very
frequently is, the means of bring
ing on the disease" As such we
may include anything that weakens
the general health or the health of
any part of the body, especially the
lungs. The breathing in of dust or
irritating gases for any length of
time Injuries the delicate mucous
membrane Of the inner tubes and
spaces of the lungs. A bad cold,
bronchitis, or pneumonia may cause
or leave weak place. Hence the
old tradition that "the bad cold ran
into consumption" Severe general
illnesses like typhoid fever or in
iluenza may leave the body in an
exhausted condition and are there
fore often followed by tuberculosis

tuberculosis is the most wide
spread Of all germ diseases. IL has
existed among the white races for
ages and. following i'm the wake of
European settlements. il has spread
over nearly all parts Of the civiliz-
ed world. Today il is prevalent in
such remote places as Iceland, Lab
rador, Alaska and the South Sea
Islands. In the United States il
claims about one hundred and fifty
thousand victims each year. Most
Of these could be saved. however, il
treatmen. were begun early enough
Many do not know until too late
that they have the disease, for some
proper means and facilities are not
available; others, again, fail to make
use Of opportunities placed in their
way. In order TO remove this
plague we must educate everyone
as to the methods of preventing and
curing the disease. One Of the
principal purposes Of the sanator-
ium is to read such knowledge
through its own patients.
The direct cause Of tuberculosis
is always in infection with a
specific germ. the bacillus of tuber-
culosis, discovered by Koch in 1892
This germ belongs 10 the lowest
form of vegetable life. the bacteria
The disease occurs not only in man,
but also in domestic animals, partic-
nlarly cattle. II may attack any
part or organ of the body, but in
man the lungs are most frequently
the site of disease. In children,
tuberculosis Of bone, joints and
lymphatics occurs frequently. The
bacilli are found in enormous num-
beers in the eXpectoration or sputum
of those suffering with tuberculosis
Of the lungs.
The germs have no power OF mo-
tion Of their own, but il sputum is

bercle baccilli enter the body either
by being breathed into the lungs, OF

how prevalent tuberculosis is, il

England and Leader Of the House Of
Commons. was plainly called a liar
by Bonar Law in the course Of a
heated debate last week. The state
of calm consideration is far in the
rear. Tcmpers and passions are
much in evidence in the House Of
Parliament. Social relationships
have been seriously interrupted by
the heated feelings engendered by

against any idea of substituting rule
by the army for rule by Parliament.
