MOTHER rat who has been de-
prived of certain vitamins in her
diet does not seem to have much
connection with the cure of cases
of paralysis, but such association
has been made through recent re-
search.
Vitamin E, which is found in
most green vegetables, has been
known as the "sterility vitamin."
If removed from the diet of female
animals, they are unable to produce
filters.
Dr.. Herbert Evans, of the Uni

and see what would happen to the
progeny. He was expecting some
change in the reproductive tunc.
tions, but to his surprise he found
that most of the little rats deVel-
oped a peculiar form of paralysis
before the tenth day of life. When
he added vitamin E to their diet,
the paralysis disappeared.
Tried 1t in Paralysis
A New York neuroiogist heard
him read a paper on this subject
and thought he would like to try out
the effect of vitamin f on some
cases of obscure paralysis. The par
ticular cases of paralysis had to
do with muscular atrophy. One
such case was that of amyotrophlc
lateral sclcrosis of the spinal cord.
With the use of concentrated vita
min E, this case was cured the
first time on record for this disease.
London clinicians report that IN
children with muscular atrophy re-
suits of treatment with vitamin E
were remarkable. Every patient
except one, which was treated Tor
six weeks, improved.
The results have been compare
bic to the results obtained in per-
nicious anemia. Fifteen years ago
this was considered an incurab!e
malady, and nobody supposed that
the changes that had occurred in the
stoalach and blood ard bone marrow
were capable of assistance by any
form of medication. But the use of
liver extract has shown that these
grave anatomical defects can &C
tually be overcome.
Outlook Changes
Up to the present time it has
been supposed that any time a nerve
cell was destroyed or muscle was
destroyed, the outlook for regenera-
ton was hopeless. Whether the
use of vitamin E in these cases
proves highly successful or not, at
any rate the demonstration SO lar
has changed the pessimistic view
of doctors concerning nerve regen'

ton of q change in muscle and q
nerve.
We are coming to believe that it
is impossible to say which is more
important. We do not know liter
ally where the nerve leaves off and
the muscle begins. 1t may BE that
in many forms of paralysis the
muscle atrophy occurs first and in
wolves the nerve secondarily.
The new vitamin E appears to af-
feet the muscle more than the nerve
cell, but it is unimportant except
as theoretical discussion. The
happy and encouraging thing is
that these cases which have hereto
fore seemed so hopeless may pos
sibly be helped.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
J. T. G.: please give me the
symptoms of colitis and diet for
it."
Answer-Colitis is an infamma-
ton of the large intestine. However,
it has come to mean that anyone
who has an irrita BILE colon !. or is
colon conscious" is labeled with the
diagnosis of "colitis." The diet
should be mild and free from rough
age. The principal treatment in
most cases, however, unless it is
specific colitis such as amoebic, is
to encourage the patient to forget
his symptoms and eat rather wide
ly. A diet recommended is as fol-
lows: cream vegetable soups - to-
mato, pea, celery, ETC.; oatmeal and
rice - these thoroughly boiled for
at least 9 hours in order to break
up cellulose husks -.served with
cream and sugar; eges-soft boiled,
poached, coddled, scrambled; toast
and toasted crackers; potatoes
mashed and baked; mashed peas;
carrots; spinach; ice cream and
ices; custards; tapioca; wine jelly;
rice pudding; orange juice. Avoid
fried foods, meat of all kinds, fruit,
vegetables with a heavy residue.
salads, highly-spiced foods and but
ter.
G. O.: what is the difference be-
tween the staphylococcus germ and
the streptococcus germ?"
Answer-The difference between
the two germs, in the first place. is
in their form; in the second place,
in their effect on the tissues of the
body. Both of them are small, round
organisms. but the staphyloccocus
grows in punches like grapes and
thu streptococcus grows in chains.
The staphylococcus, after it invades
the body, produces pus. The strep-
lococcus usually produces an in
Illumination not of pus-like char
acter. Both produce fever and both
produce what is known as "sepsis."

New Deal End of
Road for Negroes
BY Emmett j. Scott

Washington, D. CAS- far back
as last August this column en-
phasized that the chief factor chal-
longing the attention of Colored
voters during these preliminary
days before the political campaign
of 1910 begins is solution of the
problems of unemployment, and
the attendant and correlative is
sues growing out of those problems
of unemployment in these words:
=. IF the Negro people are to
have a solid, industrial foundation
they cannot accept philosophy
which substitutes relief as a cure
for unemployment :. that mere
subsistence level is not what Anne
ricans desire, that, instead they
need and desire steady jobs at de-
cent wages, and that enlight-
ened intelligence resents placid ac-
ceptance of relief as a palliative
for unemployment"
Without secure place in private
productive industry, in the gain
fully occupied life of America, Co.
lored citizens are doomed. Their
hopes and aspirations for economic
security, and the benefits which
follow, cannot be realized.
They cannot, and they should
not, accept with any degree of
complacency being regimented, and
in the end, eliminated from their
rightful share in the country's
abundant possibilities, progress
and healthy expansion.
Relief, at best, is only stop
gap. AS a permanent instrument
of government is cannot assure
happiness, hope, liberty and free
dom to a free people. Colored ci-
tizens need to take to heart these
fundamental requirements of the
American way of life.

Race Unity Urged
For Common Aim
By Judge Paige

NEW YORK (CNA) = General
Sessions Judge Myles A. Paige
warned this week that unless Ne
groes bind together and fight as
intelligent people I'VE are likely
to find ourselves on the downward
path again."
Speaking on 1.-THE Negro Faces
1910" at a luncheon sponsored by
the New York Council of National
Negro Congress at the 18th st.
branch of the YMCA, the newly
appointed jurist listed lack of en-
ployment, lack of preparation,
anti-racial groups and self-placed
obstacles as the main problems
confronting the race in the present
year. He urges concerted efforts
to overcome them and declared
that every one must band togeth-
er for the common good"
He strongly deplored the ten
dency among some members OF
the race to bury themselves in
their little surroundings and not
bother with things around them
such as lynching and the problem
of the share-croppers," and de-
clared it is "the duty of the most
fortunate to help the unfortun-
ate."
None of us are secure unless
all our brothers are secure" he
emphasized pointedly.
Lashing out at the anti-racial
groups, Judge Paige urged the
Negro to exercise constant vigi-
lance" and to cooperate with COM
mittees on anti-racial moves and
acts.

Carrie E. Selby,
Active In Church
30 Years, Passes

Mrs. Carrie E. Selby, IS, died
at her home, 26O8 E. Valley, Mon
day, March 4, passing in her sleep
during the night. She was born
at Claiborne, Ala, October 8,
1855.
An IS year old woman who has
been active in church work for
half a century was known as one
of the church mothers"
No church member has a bet
ter record of devoted service than
Mrs. Selby, the mother of three
children. She came to Seattle 30
years ago from Fargo, South Da-
kota, where she was an active
member of a white church. The
letter which she brought from the
pastor and congregation there was
one of her cherished possessions.
One of the most lovable char
acters connected with the First
A.M.E. Church, Mrs. Selby had,
in the years as member, given
unselfishly of her time, service,
and money. She was said to be
one of the church's heaviest con-
tributors. She was active in the
laying of the cornerstone of the
present edifice, and a memorial
window is also credited to her eff
forts. The stewardess board is the
auxiliary with which she was most
closely connected during her thir-
ty years of church service here.
Surviving are one sister, Mrs.
Adella eager of Spokane, Wash
ington; two brothers, Prof. D. H.
Kyles of Clarksburg, w. Va, Mr..
T. L. Kyles of Trenton, Penn, a

elist, at a packed meeting spon-

ature," Hughes portrayed some of
the vicious sidelights in the Am

of the Bill of Rights. He described
the "benevolence" of white ruling

ney," and pointed out that the be-
nevolence ends when the graduate
asks for a job.

Urban League
Starts Vocational
Drive
Schools Cooperate in Campaign


New York City, New York, Feb
ruary "a, 1910. Sponsored by the
National Urban League, the Eighth
Vocational Opportunity Campaign
will get under way on March 10 for
the period of one week. Urban
League branches in forty-four cit
les, community groups in other
centers, and more than two hun
dred Negro schools and colleges
in the South win participate in
the Campaign, which is designed
to stimulate youth to train and
prepare for their vocational flu
ture.
The radio will be used in a num-
Der of cities, and by means of
debates. discussions, vocational eli
MICS, trips to business and indus
trial centers, the attention of Ne
groes will be directed toward job
getting and job-holding. The his
tory and development of the Anne
rican labor movement will be stu
died, and recent labor legislation
reviewed. The implications to Ne
gro workers of population shifts
and changing occupational patterns
of American life will be considered.
A detailed plan for the conduct
of the Campaign in local communi-
ties entitled Program Aids for the
Vocational Opportunity Campaign
published specifically for this Cam
paign, will assist schools and COM
munity groups in arranging their
programs. Special literature has
been prepared by the National and
local Urban Leagues, and outstand-
ing Negro leaders are scheduled
as speakers during the week.
