Lack Aid, Says Trowbridge.

"Typhus fever spreads with alarm
Ing rapidity," said DR.. Trowbridge.
Unless a tremendous preventive cam
paign Is undertaken the scourge will
travel northward In Austria and from
there into all parts of war ridden Eu-
rope. From there it will be but n
short step to the United States.
'Typhus Is even worse than small
pox. Physicians and nurses in minis
tering to the patients must be covered
by a sort OF impervious sacking from
head to foot. They wear rubber gloves
and smear mercurial ointment about
their wrists. Only their eyes and nos
trils are exposed. The disease is trans
mitted by a tiny insect, and to have
n of these come into contact with
the skin means the inevitable contrac-
ton of the disease.
Despite all precautions two of our
best American physicians have fallen
victims to the plague. Just now one

unframed volunteer nurses. Those are

0'Connell Expects 1t.

II shall be very much surprised If
we do not have typhus in New York
harbor." declared DIR. O'Connell. The
an epidemic that claimed thousands Of
victims in Tokyo. Jerusalem, Russia
and elsewhere. Now there is the great
epidemic In Servia. Our most recent
bills of health show an extension of the
Infection to Alexandria and other
Egyptian ports. with a significantly
high death rate. The thing has been
s%moldering In Rotterdam for some
months. Beyond all question. ii seems
to me, we shall meet it at quarantine.
From n quarantine standpoint 1t Is
n disease most difficult to handle. The
uncertainty as to the time Of infection,
which Is when the patient Is bitten by
the infected parasite, introduces a per
picking factor. Yet the protective
measure of most efficacy for any com
Soap and water, at all times the great
est help to sanitation, are OF 100 per
cent efficiency against a typhus epidem-
ic. 1t can never obtain Il foothold
among a people who are careful as to
bodily cleanliness.
IF the physicians now combating
with the epidemic In Servia could In
duce every Servian to take a bath and
wash all clothing in boiling water the
epidemic would stop as If by magic
The difficulty, of course, is that in a
war swept country this simple measure
Is not as easy as Ii is under normal
conditions. Among armies in camp OF
under fire 1t is often impossible, and
the infection that fourishes under
the conditions Of camp life finds easy
prey In a people whose material re
sources are wasted and whose sanitary
sense is demoralized."

Instead Of being great philanthopists,
these men, in many cases, are simply
thieves who really ought to be in
prison for having robbed their fellow
men.
No class has suffered more from the
"philanthropies'' of these rich thieves
than the colored people and their ne
farious work has been aided by So
called colored leaders who have taken
the role Of public mendicants and have
begged for money to organize jimcrow
institutions and thus prevent their own
class from securing, their rights as
American citizens

Professor Charles Frederick Chanu-
er OF Columbia University, q well
,nown chemist, declares that beer is
he best brain food. In recent ad.
sress he said: Beer is beverage
repaired from barley, water, hops and
east. Beer is food. American beer
contains 6 per cent solid food, only
Z to per cent alcohol and also
lecithin, which is real brain food
Beer and bread both made from GER
calls; bread with water and is solid;
beer with more water and is liquid
Yeast converts both into palatable and
readily digested food. Both contain
alcohol. Beer is not intoxicating in
ordinary quantities and beer is one
of the foods that is free from bac-
terra. It Is appetizirg and aids d.
gestion. I don't believe there is any
beer made in the United States that is
what you call adulterated. It may be
misbranded, but not adulterated. If
the prohibitionists drive beer from the
household they will deprive large

ATHLETIC ASSO-
CATION, '--...

CATION. ISL. y. .. ..
Never before has that get-together
spirit been shown by the Negro men
of the city as it is now. Apparently
they have seen the necessity OF
UNION AMONG MEN, and are taking
a step forward in their progress. The
example set by the twenty-seven men,
who were present at the get-together
banquet on February Is, and who
pledged themselves to cooperate with
their fellow men in the uplift Of our
men and boys in the city, has been
taken by 100 men or more. A large
per cent of this number have already
paid part of their initiation fee for
membership in the Athletic Associa-
ton. ... ...a
The membership committee is max
ing q thorough canvass of the city
and are meeting with great success.
At the McCracken banquet on last
Monday evening, every man present
was signed up for membership, bring.
ing our membership list up near the
100 mark. With the present amount
of interest continued, st. Paul prom.
lses to have as fine Colored Athletic
Association as there is in the west.
The Negro is his own salvation, and
through him must come the solution
of those problems that have to do
with his race. The part that the
Athletic Association intends to take in
helping to solve those problems is to
develop stronger, healthier, better
men for stronger, healthier, better
race.
