CITY NEGROES AND SANTA
TON.

No city can be considered sanitary
so long as any part of it is in an I'M
healthful condition. The sections in
habited by Negroes are characterized
by the presence of mud and stagnant
water, the absence of drainage sys-
TENS, sidewalks, sewerage systems,
gas, and electric lights. A city that
is partly sanitary is in condition
similar to a person dressed in even
ing clothes who has failed to take a
bath and change his linen. The re-
lation existing between Negroes in
habiting the unsanitary sections Of
cities and the remainder of the COM
munity is very close. The cooks,
maids, wash-women, walters, chauf-
feura elevator operators, and en-
ployees Of almost every description
are brought into close association
with the white people in the per-
Torrance of their daily tasks. They
have access to practically every room
in most of the homes and business
establishments. The unsanitary con-
ditions existing in Negro sections
thus become a menace to the entire
city. Aside from a consideration of
what may be due Negroes as resi-
dents of unsanitary sections, the in
terest and protection of the city in
its entirety should cause those in
charge to urge more effective meas
ures for safeguarding the health Of
its citizens by definitely establishing
and rigidly maintainging hygienic
and sanitary conditions throughout
the city.
Germs of infections and contagious
diseases confine themselves to no par
ticular class nor group of people, nor
to any particular sections of cities.
The only effective safeguard against
them is to rid city of every source
of such maladies.-Southern Work

Then he decided to approach the

he freely held religious services each
Sunday morning while in New Port

Rev. Braddan further stated: that
at all times and at all places in this
country and in Europe; that the
Knights of Columbus, freely furnish,
ed the soldiers, regardless Of their
race or nationality without any cost
to them, Smokes" chewing-gum,
writing paper and other little odds
and ends which were so near and dear
to them and some of those connected
with the Knights of Columbus, SEEM
ed perfectly willing to write letters,
for all those who were unable to
write.
On the other hand, the Y. M. c. A.
officials figured on making good pro-
fit on everything they furnished the
soldiers; notwithstanding the fact;
that generous hearted christian people
throughout the world, had freely con-
tributed money to aid the Y. NJ. c.

among the soldiers, on the bloody
battlefields of France.

to permit him to hold services each

building while the regiment was sta
toned there as there were no white
soldiers around to use it at that time,
the head officials of the Y. N. c. A.
turned him down cold, at the same
time informing him that not so far
away was a little tumbled down build

other Colored soldiers and that it was
plenty good enough for him and his

FIVE CASES OF DEATHS.

| 1t has Deen generahy dCCePeeu W
health officials that the sanitary sta
tus of a city may be judged by the
number of its typhoid deaths.
Typhoid fever is primarily a filth
disease. It is transmitted mainly
through food or drink, contaminated
water or milk; and sometimes
through flies and again by human
carriers. The germs that cause ty-
phoid always come from the bowels
of a person who has the disease; or
if from a carrier, a person who has
had it and who still has the germs
in his or her system. When such
persons handle foods that are eaten
by others, it always means an out
break of this terrible disease.
Fortunately now for humanity,
people can be protected against ty-
phoid by vaccination in the same
manner that they can be protected
against smallpox. The only trouble
is people will not avail themselves of
the protection.
In the Spanish-American War ty-
phoid killed many more soldiers than
were destroyed by shot or she'll In
the recent world war, in addition to
all sanitary safeguards our soldiers
were protected against this disease
by vaccination. The people Of Chi
cago who stay at home and drink
only Chicago water and use only pas
teurized milk stand small show of
having typhoid.
It should be pretty good news to
the people of Chicago to know that
in this big city of nearly $500, 900
men, women and children there were
only five cases of typhoid fever re-
ported for the etnre month of Feb
ruary and not a single death from
this disease.
This looks as though it paid to
have ehlorinated water and a pas
teurized milk supply.
Delay IL Dangerous.
For the week ending March 18th
there were los cases of diphtheria
reported to the Department OF these
twelve died.
For the same week there were rs
cases of scarlet fever with only two
deaths.
And yet there is no specific cure
for scarlet fever, while there is
positive cure for diphtheria, provid-
ed only it be given not later than
the second day of the attack.
Antitoxin not only cures diphther-
ia, but when given to children who
have been exposed to the disease has
high immun;zing or protective val
ne. It il furnished free.
Now the records Of the Depart
ment of Health show that the blame
for so many needless diphtheria
deaths among the children Of Chicago
may be about equally divided be-
tween the parents and the doctors.
In about fifty per ctnt- of the cases
that died the parents did not call
the doctor until it was too late In
the other fifty per cent the ply
sieians waited for a laboratory con-
frmation of their diagnosis-in other
words. they wanted to be sure they
were right-and their delay also cost
the lives of their little patients.
