The only way in which the Depart
ment Of Health can learn Of the ex-
istenee of contagious disease in q COM
munity is by having the physicians
who attend such cases report them to
the Department. Because this is nee
essary for the proper safeguarding of
the public health, there is a city ordi-
nance which requires physicians to re-
port all cases Of communicable dis
eases that they are called to attend
and providing a penalty for failure to
comply with its provisions. These re-
ports, too, have another value; for
when they are all collected and tab
ulated at the end Of q given period,
they tell US a good deal about general
health conditions and the kind Of dis
eases that are most prevalent through
out the city. A concealed case Of
contagious disease is a menace to an
entire community while the case that
has been promptly reported and the
premises plaearded, is rot; for the rea-
SON that people viii not knowingly ex-
pose their children to eontagion Of any
kind. Reporting and plaearding cases
Of contagious sickness mean better care
and attention for the sick and safety
and protection for the well.

SOLUTION OF NEGRO PROBLEM
SEEN IN INDUSTRIAL CENTER
Isaiah Montgomery Tells Of Success Of
City he Founded Twenty-six
Years Ago.

Isaiah T. Montgomery, the foremost
body servant Of Jefferson Davis, pres
ident Of the late Southern Confectionery
and founder and Mayor of Mound
Bayou, Miss, the Moses of the Negro
race; arrived in Chicago the first Of
the week and on Tuesday evening, he
spoke at the original Provident Bap,
fist Church, Leavitt and Walnut street,
to an audience of about 800 people.
He urged, the members of the race
to adhere to industrialism, as the best
and most practical solution of many
of the problems which now confront,
the Negro in this country.
He described the community of
10000 Negroes at Mound Bayou, its
bank, newspapers, ice plant, cotton.
seed factory, Carnegie library, streets,
churches, schools, and other evidences
Of progress and enlightenment attained
with little help from any other race.
The settlement was founded twenty-six
years ago by Montgomery.
The object of MOntgomery's visit
to Chicago is to sell stock in the cot
tonseed oil plant, which is operated at
Mound Bayou. The company is cap
italized at 100000, of which $4,000
has been paid up. When the enterprise
was started a year ag0, Julius ROsen-
valid became interested in the project
by meeting Montgomery at Tuskegee,
Ala, and bought $4,000 worth of
stock. This was recalled by w. G.
Graves, secretary to Mr.. Rosenwald, in
q brief talk following Montgomery Is
address, as an evidence of the phil
anthropist's faith in the worthiness Of
the enterprise.

People whose occupations keep them
out Of doors most of the time are not
as a rule, troubled with coughs and
and colds. Under normal conditions
outdoor air does not induce colds. In.
door air and indoor surroundings are
responsible for many of our ills. In
other words it is not fresh outdoor
air, but the want Of it that causes
many Of our diseases. For as water
is the natural element for the fishes
Of the sea, so air, good air, is the nat.
ural element for the human beings,
who live on the land.
It has been said that malaria had
more to do with the destruction and
downfall of the Roman Empire than
did the barbarians Of the north. If
this be true it only illustrates what we
have so often stated that disease kills
more soldiers than are destroyed by
shot and shell. And the worst Of it
is that not, only in time of war but
in time of peace the needless slaughter
of human lives from the preventable
diseases goes on just the same. One
of the greatest lessons that a nation
can learn is that Of protecting and
conserving the health of its people.
The power and stability of a state
depend largely upon the physical well
being of its people. Soldiers may be
both brave and loyal, but when dis
ease invades their ranks they have
little or no fighting value. And what
is true Of the soldier in war is equally
true of the citizen in peace. War be-
tween nations is a terrible thing, but
war with all its horrors destroys only
thousands, where the preventable dis
eases kill their tens of thousands.
Would it not be a fine thing If ma
tions instead of warning one with an
other, would all unite in q grand war
against needless sickness and suffer

Letter to Newspapers
Tells How Var Affects
the Industries of England

The charges. continually reiterated
by both sides il, the European war,
that atrocities are being committed
on non-combatants. are. now being re-
peated and denied daily. Such a
charge is made in letter received
today by Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Duck
worth, Of 772 Soath Thirteenth street,
this city. The letter, written by the
son. William, and daughter, Gertrude,
was sent from Denton, an English
manufacturing town, and dated Sep
TENDER Is.
The letter declares that English in
dustry has been paralyzcd by the
war. and that many of the factories
in Denton have not operated FOR seven
weeks, The principal industry in Den
ton is making. The writer's, in
the course of their communica ton,
declare that Englishmen are not now
thinking so much about work as
about the war, and all are ready to
enlist when the call comes.
You can well believe all of the
stories of cruelty you read" continues
the letter. THE wounded that come
home are glad to get back again at
the front that they may avenge the
cruel work of the enemies. Some Bel
gian children have come to Ashton, a
town near Denton. Some have their
little hands cut off, and they try to
make people know how the Germans
did it"
