BRINGS FORTH A HISTORY
OF THE AMERICAN NEGRO IN

The latest contribution to the liter
allure of the Colored race in this
country is a highly interesting and
instructive book, entitled 1.-THE His
tory of the American Negro in the
Great World War;" from the pen of
Col. W. Allison Sweeney, the we'll
known trenchant editorial writer and
lecturer.
1t is among the, first publications
of its kind to make its appearance,
as four or five other books from other
authors along the same line and on
the same subject will in the near
future be placed on the market.
The book is highly illustrated,
printed on heavy book paper in clear
bold-faced type, which makes it very
easy to read; consist of over three
hundred pages, bound in heavy mo-
rocco, with the title and the authors
name wrought on the outside in heavy
gold letters, which makes it very at
tractive. sem ...
1t is not confined strictly to the
activities Of the Colored soldiers in
the REGENTS world war for democracy,
but it contains a resume of the Col
ored soldiers in all of the wars of
the past; in short, the book is a

MINOR DISEASES DAN
GEROUS

The average parent breads scarlet
fever, but regards measles, mumps
and whOOping cough as of little con-
sequence as a menace to the lives of
I his children.
And yet for the month of May
measles killed 49 children in Chicago,
while there were only ten deaths due
to scarlet fever. There were also
eleven deaths from whooping cough
during the month; another of the
children's diseases that is not regard
ed dangerous, but only annoying on
account of its extended duration.
Even ehicken-pOx, of which there
were SCI cases for the month, caused
one death.
The measles death rate was not
high, being only about one per cent.
Of the cases reported for the month.
The figures given, however, show that
these so-caIled minor ailments do
cost in the aggregate many little
lives. Also, they should serve to i'm
press upon parents the Importance
Of protecting their children as care
fully against infection from these
minor diseases as they would from
those of more dangerous character.
Too many people are still of the
opinion that measles, mumps and
whooping cough are rather to be
sought than avoided; and that the
sooner their children have them the
better. This is both wrong and dan
gerous. The child is entitled to the
best of obtainable protection against
disease of every kind, for even the
so-called minor ailments frequently
leave their victims in q weakened
physical condition, which serves to
render them more susceptible to at
taeks of any other dangerous forms
of disease.
