BISHOP MCDOWELL SAYS CHEST
PRESENTS CHANCE FOR SERVICE
Impressive Facts Are Brought
to Attention of
Public.
Humanity Braced by Spirit
of HeIpfuInesS in
Cooperation.
BY WILLIAM FRASER MCDOWELL,

Bishop of Methodist Episcopal Church.
The Community Chest offers to the
city an opportunity first, for seeing all
the need of the city at once. 1t really
is worth a great deal just to have
brought to the notice of the city the
things that are going on. the helpful
enterprises that are actually being con-
Quoted in the city. The Community
Chest list, to be sure, does not cover
them all. But it ought to make us
very proud that they are working and
that we have them brought before our
eyes in this impressive fashion.
The Chest also gives a very great
opportunity for helping to keep the city
human. Most of us will be thinking of
what We can do for these and other
objects. But really doing for them will
do more for ourselves than for the in
situations to which we shall make our
gifts. There is a constant tendency in
modern life TO become absorbed in the
things of trade and manufacture and
finance, and in this day, as in all days,
1t Is imperative that we shall keep our
souls alive, that we shall keep the
proper emphasis upon purely human in
terestS and relationships. All the things
we have get etheir worth from their
human values Any city that becomes
hard and unsympathetic toward such

conditions and institutions as are repre-
sented in washington is already a
doomed city. 1t may last long time,
but it is not fit to live in unless 1t is
laying its emphasis upon the human
spirit.
The Community Chest also gives a
commanding opportunity for co-opera-
tive endeavor. We easily get discour-
aged when we are working alone. We
cannot do half as much alone as We
can by cooperation. But in an en-
deavor like this we learn how many
people there are who have the spirit Of
.helpfulness, and that braces US all np,

Diet and
Health
BY DR.. Logan Clendening

Oy DAs AUSoh SA%AAA&AAAAS
DIR. ROBERT KOCH was a
young doctor in Germany estab-
lished in general practice when
the scientific world was aflame
with the news that germs had
been discovered as the cause
of certain diseases.
Only a few diseases we're at
first announced as being in this
class-anthrax, a disease of
sheep occasionally transmitted
to man, being one of the first
that Pasteur, the great French
scientist, proved to be of this
nature.
But all the fevers and con.
tagious diseases were suspected,
and every doctor who had a
microscope was trying to make
discovery.
Was No Exception
Young DR.. Koch was no ex-
ception. In spite of the fact
that his wife kept nagging at
him to build up a big practice,
he began studying the exudates
from sick people under the
microscope. Finally he made a
great discovery-the cause of
the infection of wounds and of
the infection of women after
childbirth. Then he tackled
tuberculosis, and in 1882 was
able to announce that he had
discovered the germ which
causes 1.-THE tubercle bacillus.
This was a great step in ad-
vance because doctors were then
able to decide for the first time
whether a disease was actually
tuberculosis or not. Many
thought certain bone diseases
were of the same nature as con-
sumption-tuberculosis of the
lungs.
A Great Discovery
Now they we're able to prove
it by demonstrating the tubercle
bacillus in the scrapings from
the diseased bone. Thus it be-
came known that tuberculosis
affects nearly every structure in
the body-the lungs, lymph
nodes In the neck, bones and
joints, and kidneys, being the
most frequent sites.
