Good Work by Anti-Tubercu-
Iosis Campaign Committee

Tuberculosis Campaign COmmlL-
mittee. purporting to stop the
spread of consumption, has been
done this summer.
1t is an acknowledged fact that
the startling death rate from
consumption in this state is due
largely to the existence of the
disease among the colored people
and it's spread by them among
the white population.
The unsanitary, or rather lack
of any sanitary conditions, in the
home of the negro is d%eplorable.
He is not so much Indifferent to.
as entirely ignorant of, any pre-
tentative measures that will
save him from this contagious
disease.
To meet this condition the
Mississippi Anti tuberculosis
Campaign Committee has lnau-
gurated a plan of work which
not only provides the desperately
needed aid to the negro. but at
the same time proves a great
protection to the white people
against the spread of consump-
ton.
The plan is very simple. There
has been organized, under the
auspices of the Anti tuberculosis
Committee, an Order of Colored
Crusaders of the Double Red
Cross in Mississippi. Every
preacher of every church in the
state to act as grand master of
a chapter composed for the most
part of the members of his con-
gregation. The netting of the
Order to be held after the regu-
lar church service.
The negro preacher is the
natural teacher of his race. His
people obey him. The commit
tee furnishes the preacher with
short lectures explaining the
nature of consumption; how cor
tracted; how to tell when one is
suffering from the disease; what
to do when one has already con
tracted it to prevent giving it to
others; and telling certain simple
things to do in order to prevent
the contracting of the disease.
Sheets bearing a cut Illustrating
the point of the lecture are dis
tributed among the people by
the grand master.
In has been the care of the
committee to present this study
of the cause and the prevention
of consumption in so simple a
manner that it can be understood
by the more ignorant of the COL
ored people. A means of i'm
pressing facts concerning con-
sumption upon the mind is used
which is as old, almost, as the
mind of man-the use of the
fable.
All literature is paid for out of
the funds received from the sale
of the Red Cross Christmas seals.
This work of the Mississippi
anti tuberculosis committee has
been complimented by the secre-
tary of the national association
for the study and prevention OF
tuberculosis, who will give the
work nationwide publicity! A
report of this work was also read
before the second annual south.
ern tuberculosis conference al
Columbia. S. G.
The Order of the Colored Cru
saders has become very popular
in Mississippi and there is little
doubt but what a like organiza.
ton will soon be an established
fact in other southern states,
where the same fight against
consumption is being waged.
This work deserves the supporI
of every thinking citizen.

A eminent physician recently
~ stated that he could cover the
entire surface of the earth FIVE
feet deep with diphtheria or typhoid
germs in less than a years time if he
could find enough food for them in cul-
tural media.
Germs propagate IN geometrical ratio
and the most common disease germs
double IN number about every fifteen
minutes. Their increase is checked only
by strangulation in disinfectant media
or by removing the matter on which they
feed.
The specific germ or mold that causes
the common boil is good example of
this propagation. 1t can be said roughly
that ten million bacteria are required
to start boil. These ten million,
packed closely together. could be held

die. If they are able to work through q
microscopic break in the skin, as for
instance at the root of hair, and the
disease-resisting elements Of the blood
are too weak to strangle them, the boil
starts.
In fifteen minutes the ten million
germs become twenty Million In fifteen
minutes more the twenty million become
forty million, then eighty million. and
so on till In the course of q week the
figures necessary to express the number
propagated would require several miles

Nevertheless to American women l
Get off the ground" Physically and
psychologically you live too near the
ground. The American woman when
she has passed the twenty-ifth mile
stone and often before, is too heavy In
gait. in body, in department Mentally
and physically she needs higher gearing.
This higher gearing the leap accom-
plishes Leaping will quicken the heart
beat, bring back the blood to the sur
face and SO equalize the circulation.
The leap. like dancing, the languages,
were better learned while young The
younger the better. But 1t is never i'm
possible. II the middle-aged woman will
learn to leap she will find her step grow
Ing lighter her eyes brighter. her com
ple1ion clearer. her spirits gayer The
leap will place farther back among the
shadows of dreaded things the spectre of
growing old.
That 1t is regarded as unusual and
difficult is shown by the applause that
greets the leap when 1t occurs in
dance. 1t is like singers high note,
like piano forte players grand flourish.
When l began training my six pupils,
who have since been and are now tour
ing the country, to show audiences what
can be done for a womans body and
character through physical culture. I saw
the same look OF misgiving across their
faces that always comes to those unac-
customed to the word leap and the idea
1t represents. My suggestion was re-
ceived with more warmth when I spoke
Of springing into the air That Is CON-
prehensible. That does not contain any
slightest hint OF departure from feminine
characteristics. The ordinary idea is
that to leap is boyish, while to spring
into the air Is srlish and girlishly
natural.
To make quite clear to my girl
charges that there was nothing "unlady
like" In such demonstration, I asked
them If they had ever been so happy
that they wanted to jump with Joy
Every ones right hand went up. Every
young face was smile. I asked them IL
they had ever watched a kitten at play
and seen 1t spring into the air from very
joy OF life. Again there were tokens OF
recognition Of truth. Imagine that you
have heard some great. good news"
continued. What would you be inclined
to do? What did you do when you were
children and heard that the circus was
coming to town or that you were going
to picnic?"
They laughed in recognition.
Then l unrolled huge copy OF a
Greek frieze, wherein Greek maidens
were exulting at news of victory for
their country. All were jumping up and
down, were springing into the air, were
leaping. After that it was easy to teach
my girls, who afterward became tho
Morgan Dancers, to leap.
"Exut In something that delights you,"
/ said. If the girls do not feel pleased.
If it were dismal morning, all adrizzle,
or If some cloud had obscured the sun
shine Of girlish spirits. had only to
say. Then remember something that did
please you, and express your pleasure at
that"
What these girls have done other girls
can do. Women, too. There is no bet
ter place than the beach to perform those
feats Of leaping. I advise every bather

Next TO leaping the most valuable ex.

COUNTY TO HAVE MODEL
TUBERCULAR HOSPITAL

Atlantic County's new tuberculosis
hospital, now being erected at North
field, will be one of the most up-to-
date institutions of its kind in the
country and will have accommoda-
lions for more than a hundred pa
tents.
The building is a high one-story
structure, laid out after the fashion
of a cross, with the reception rooms
and office in front, wings for men and
women patients extending on either
side and the kitchen, attendants quar-
tiers, ETC., in the rear. A large por-
ton of the wings built for the pa
TENTS are open to the South, with a
long sloping roof extending beyond
the sleeping quarters, so the patients
will virtually "sleep in the OPEN"
Enclosed sections also form a part of
each wing.
The building is of frame construc-
ton and is located on the back por-
ton of the county farm, with no hous-
es in the immediate neighborhood.
The patients will overlook extensive
fields reaching to the Almshouse and
while they will receive the full bene-
fit of ocean breezes in Summer, the
force of Northerly winds will be brok-
en- by the woodland in the rear
Though there was a strong senti-
ment against the erection of the hos
pital at Mortified, physicians seem
to agree with the State Board of
Health that the location is a good one
for the patients and will not consti-
tute a menace to residents of that
neighborhood. Work is progressing
rapidly on the building and it will
probably be ready for occupancy by
the first of the year.
