SECRETS OF
HEALTH
by de. @. a. y. Reed-


VoU VIII remember that In my
4 article yesterday ! pointed out
how asthma, nettlerash, migrainO
and vomiting attacks. may be due
to the patient being sensitive to
some kind Of food, dust or
pollen. 1t Is often extremely diff
cult to discover quite how It be-
came sensitive. Some are born
like It; others may get the sen.
sitIvity through having an over
dose OF q particular food In in.
fancy. Sometimes q child II given
large quantities of albumen water,
and for ever after, whenever 1t
eats an egg or food containing
egg, It has an asthmatic or .
vomiting attack.
Sometimes the sensitiYity dates
from an operation, particularly on
the throat, or by an acute Illness
like whooping cough.
Sensitfvity to food IL usually in.
born and tends to disappear with
time: II is therefore more likely to
be q cause Of asthma in very
young children than in older ones.
Sensitivity to dust and pollen II
generally acquired, chiefly by chill.
dren whose parentage predisposes
them to 1t. and takes far longer to
get rid of. Dust and pollen cause
asthma more often than food.
However, asthma Is not always
due to this peculiar sensitiyity to
foreign substances. Some Guthori-
ties say that in more than half
the cases the cause IL not this,
but an unstable nervous system.
In either case we can only under
stand asthma If we remember that
1t is not simply a disease Of the
breathing apparatus but OF the
child as q whole. This must be-
the watchword Of anyone who has
to manage an astEmatic child.
1t Is no use treating the at
tacks as they arise. 1T 10 necee-
sarv to watch for the cause. and
to regulate the child's whole life
in order to prevent them. They
are to q certain extent harmful;
it Is not good for any child to
be in an invalid, and the attacks
themselves put q strain on its
system that Is much better
avoided.
The thing to aim at is proven
ton, since the various cures that
have been tried, such q desen.
Situation. have not been very sue
cessflll, and the whole subject
needs great deal more expert.
rnpYt MoreovAr if child In
looked after carefully and pro-
tected from danger through the
attacks, he has a very fair
chance of entirely throwing off
the weakness when he grows up.
The thing to do, therefore, with
an asthmatic is to try to find
the causes OF his attacks, pro-
tect him against them and hope
that he win grow out of
them. DIR. Hutchinson says that,
in a surprising proportion OF
cases which he has followed up,
the attacks have either ceased
altogether or have been few and
slight in later years
Some children, however, in
whom the disease has lasted for
years, may show some damage to
their lungs, and their growth in
development may be stunted to a
certain extent. This may be large
~ avoided with care and proper
management, and the asthmatic
child has a much brighter out
look than inexperienced people

TUSKECEE DEFEATS
MOREHOUSE GRIDSTERS

Atlanta, Ga.-The hard driving
Maroon Tigers fought valiantly and
desperately, but finally covered be-
fore the vicious onslaught of Sieve
Abbott's invincible machine here
Saturday, 14-0, in one of the most
colorful battles presented on local
grid.
The brilliant passing Of both teams
and the spectacular running attacks
characteristic of both made the af-
fair one which will never be forgot
ten by the few fans who braved the
wintry blasts to witness the fray.
Tuskegee tailed in the first frame
when Moseley kicked the pigskin
over his head while attempting to
punt out of danger. Tuskegee re-
covered on the 16-yard line. Steve
lost 3; Bailey tossed to Steve for Ia;
Wooten 8; Wooten III; Captain
Bailey crashed over. Steve scored
the extra from placement. In the
closing frame, Harris blocked Nose
| ley's punt and raced 25 yards to a
touchdown. Stevenson again added
the point.
,Morehouse came back strong in
the second half and held Tuskegee
for downs four times within twenty
yards of the coveted line; once ON
the two-yard line; again when Bailey
was forced out of bounds by Saund-
ers three inches from the goal; twice
in this same period Tuskegee fumbled
within Is yards of the goal. A few
minutes after the last failure to score
by Tuskegee, Forbes pulled a Skegee
pass from the air and raced 80 yards
till Smith stopped him on Tuskegee's
35-yard line. Hunter fumbled, and
the squirt was over. In the second,
Morehouse marched "A yardsato place

Moseley fumbled.
Though Morehouse lost by fourteen
points, Tuskegee was not certain of
victory till the field judges pistol

drawn up and forwarded to Attorney
S. Decatur McGill in Florida, a brief
challenging the conviction of Abe
Washington, Negro, on the ground
that Negroes have been barred from
juries in Florida and were barred
from the jury sitting in that case.
The case is now on appeal before
the supreme court of the state of
Florida. 1t is planned to take the
case on appeal to the United States
supreme court if necessary, to strike
a blow at the barring of Negroes

TWO REPUBLICANS
AND ONE DEMOCRAT
ELECTED COUNCILMEN

New York, N. -(ANP)-Char-

tion for the Advancement of Color
/ ed People, reports to the national of
flee that Clayborne George, mem
ber of the branch executive commit
tee, was elected to the Cleveland City
Council at the recent election, being
one of three Negroes to sit among
the 25 members of that body. Mr..
White reports:
''In the municipal election of 1925
alr. George was candidate for the
council in his district and made a
gratifying showing but was not elect
ed. This year / am happy to relate
he was successful and was elected
without the help of either of the two
political parties but by the united
vote of the Negroes in the East End.
"Our city council consists of 25
members elected from four districts
in the city. We had three candidates
and all three were successful. Mr..
Fleming. republican, was elected for
the eighth time. DR.. E. J. Gregg,
with democratic endorsement, was
elected from the same district as Mr..
Fleming, and Mr.. George as an in
dependent from the fourth district.
Cleveland, therefore, will have in the
next council three Negroes out of 25
members. DIR. Gregg's election has
been along the same lines as Mr..
Georges and the whole of Cleveland
is now awake to the fact that the Ne
groes' vote can no longer be classed
as solidly for the republican party or
for any party. These gratifying re-
suits were achieved by unity that
was outstanding and by an independ-
ence that has given rise to a new re-
spect for the Negro vote"

New York City--The frauds prac-
ticed by railways running through
Southern territory, which fail to
provide the equal accommodation"
called for under the jim-crow sys-
tenn, though charging colored people
equal rates with whites, are sharply
exposed in series of letters sent to
the National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People, by Ar
thur H. Thomas, who fought for his
country in France, to, make the world
safe for jim-crow at home.
Mr.. Thomas reports to the N. A.
A. C. P. that he wrote President
Coolidge letter, calling his atten-
tion to these frauds and giving his
own experience, as follows:

who died in action over there left
a young sister in America to enjoy
the blessings of victorious country
and its protection. Not long ago,
accompanied by this sister and a num-
Der of other ladies, / boarded the
Dixie Limited, a train which runs
from Chicago to Jacksonville, Flori-
da, for Macon, Georgia. We took
seats in one of the day coaches. On
reaching Evansville, Indiana, the
ladies and myself were ordered to
take seats in the smoker The fumes
of smoke had not cleared the car;
some of the cuspidors had not been
emptied, and their odor combined
with the smoke, making it very un-
pleasant for the ladies, | moved the
cuspidors from beneath their seats
and placed them in the aisle. When
the conductor came through, asked
him if he would kindly have the Gus
pidors taken from the coach. He re-
piled he would.
A few minutes later the porter
entered the coach and attempted to
place the cuspidors back beneath the
ladies' seats. / arose and protested

much effect did my words have in
the improvement of that coach, that

ed States will rise and protest against
such conditions there soon will be no
occasion for any citizen to annoy him
with letter like this.
AS an ex-soldier and an American,
| respectfully suggest, Mr.. Coolidge,
that you use your powerful influence
to cause such law to be passed as
will prohibit railroad companies from
the practice of collecting first-class
passenger fares for unclassified pas
senger service"
The ex-soldier's letter received no
direct reply from the president but
was referred to the Interstate Com
merce Commission, whose secretary,
G. B. McGinty, informed him:

Commenting on the above letter,

| typical:
Frank L. Smith, senator from Illi-
nois II beg leave to acknowledge
your letter of September goth, and
while I think your complaint really
applies to particular train instead
of the general railroad service, l will

ought to be-"
Charles Curtis, senator from Kan
sas: 81 am sorry you had such an ex-
perience, and will gladly bring your
complaint to the attention of the
proper officials for consideration"
Clyde Kelly, representative of the
Thirty-third District, Pennsylvania
Il am sorry for the inconvenience
you suffered on your trip to Macon,
Ca, and shall be glad to see if any
thing can be done to remedy the rep
etition of such an occurrence"
The one emphatic and forceful let
ter answering Mr.. Thomas commu-
nication, came from Representative
Martin B. Madden, of Illinois, who
wrote:
Il assure you | have always been
opposed to discrimination as practic-
ed by some of the railroads and /
have fought it on the floor of the
House on several occasions. | shall
