JOHN B, GORDON CAMP
HID SPLENDID SESSION
John B. Gordon Encampment No. II,
Odd Fellowa. had a (In* time last meet
ing night. John B. Gordon had one
ot the beat meetings ever held In their
walla, every member present making
a good apeech, and they were all of
real Interest. Probably the beat came
from our three delegates.
All encampment members are urged
to be present next Wednesday night, as
there will be something done in regard
to an Odd Fellowa- orphan home. Como

thousand of our people have the dis
ease at any one time. One-third of the
deaths occurring between th* agee of
16 and >0 ar* said to b* due to It."
Th* accompanying table shows the
relative death rate In th* colored and
white races, also th* monetary lose to
each city from tubcrculoels.
Bach life Is valued at 11.000. while
tha care, board, nursing, medical alien,
lion and medicines are valued at 11,000
each, being the lowest estimate of any
so far given.
It In of Inlerent to not* the average
death rale from tuberculosis In' the
white race for th* three years given In
the different title*.
The figures also establish the fact of
a higher death rate In the negro almost
three time* as great as In the white
race.
Thcae figures give data for consld
own lew by the sociologist, economist
and sanitarian.
It. Ik recognised that th* Indian la
most susceptible to tuberculosis; the
negro la next In susceptibility. The
negro betnff-'more rlnsaly allied to ua
nnri more numerous, with a death rale
from tuberculosis mure than double
that In the white race, It becomes a
TarOffiporlant social factor.- —
Before the war tuberculosis was al
most unknown In th* negro, now 60 to
70 per cent have tuberculosis or some
specific disease, one nr both. They are
unhygienic, many abhor water, and so
live as to be hot-beds for the develop
ment and npreatl of contagion.
Tbey serve a* cooks, chambermaid*
and nuraca In our homes, with but lit
tle knowledge and rare as to th* spread
of contagion. They nurse your children
and convey to them the germs of dis
ease, wash your clothing In unsanitary
places, and ar* often walking volca
noes erupting tubercular germ* that do
their deadly work without regard to
color or social equality. Hoclolaglcally.
the race question means far more than
social equality.
The Jewish race has been recognised
aa sonpewhnt Immune to tuberculosis.
As' their circumstance, and environ
ment clung* they seem to become more
susceptible to th* disease. Dr. Theo-
dofe-B. Herbs (A. M. A. Journal. Au
gust t, Hut.) slates In Uhlcago the
death rate Is LSI per 1.046 of Jewish
population. After an catenalv* Investi
gation and study of the subject h* con
cludes: "The so-called Immunity of th*
Jews from tuberculosis Is greatly over,
estimated."
Lillian Brandt finds that cities of
50,000 to 100.000 have a higher death
rat* from tuberculosis than otbar ett-
He also finds that of twelve larg
est cities tn the United States, New
TTiTeana hue Iha laigral death isle from
tuberculosis—3.18 per 1.000; that San
Franetsco Is next with 2.(4. with Buffa
lo lowest, being 1.2*. "Of th* states.
California leads with the highest death
rate from tuberculosis; then follow*
Tennessee. Kentucky, South Dakota,
XX’rat Virginia," etc.
Dr. Lawrence F. Flick (director of
tlppe Institute, Philadelphia) makes
the following propositions: —
T, Tuberculosis Is a house disease
It runs Ita. couree and prove* fatal In
the house; without the house It could
not continue to exist.
"2. Tuberculosis la a family dtaeass.
"I. Tuberculosis la In a measure an
occupation disease.
"4. Tuberculosis la a disease of the
poor, down-trodden t.nd debased. The
tubercle bacillus does not grow well tn
healthy tissue. Overwork, underfeed
log, underairing, dissipation, physic#
Injury to tissues by traumatism ~tl
other dlsraaea. ar* usually th* foreru-
n*r of,tuberculosis.
6.'Tuberculosis la a alow, long
drawn-out disease, - which *s • ml*
kills by Inch**. Even those cases
known aa galloping consumption have
bad a long period of unrecognised qul
tarenrr *"»"»g» duration of tu
berculoala probably is lee yon, most mantra!
of-the time-being a period of delicate
health merely.
“a. Tuberculosis can b* prevented.
That which I* due to life ta perpetuat
ed by reproduction; atop the repro
duction and It becomes extinct. The
tubercle badllua only can reproduce
llaelf In a boat Ita Ills outside of a
host ts dormant It 1a through
pus or sputum, and thla alone, that tu-
jerculosls can be conveyed from on#
person to another. Sclence'hna .lemon-
■trateil that tuberculous matter thrown
off. ran be sterilised or destroyed, and.
If done at the moment It ia thrown off.
absolutely prevents new Implantations.
Practically the prevention of tubercu
losis. then, la a question of way* and
means how to bring every tuberculous
person under control.
“6. Tubcrculoels exists la avt
of the world. In every climate
seasons of the year. It has sainted at
all times of which we have any historic
record It Is the most prevalent of all
tHseasea. and causes more deaths than
any other disease. It reuses one-sav-
enth to ons-tenth of all th* deaths
throughout th* world.' The treatment
and control of tuberculosis la, there
fore, a universal problem. It must be
worked out In every part of lb* world,
nml-the methods used must be such as
can be used In any part uf th* world.
"9 The extermination of tuberc-ilo-
eta tn animate jnuet go hand to—band
with th* extermination of tuberculoeta
In hit mau beings. That animal tuber
culosis ran b* conveyed to human be
ings 1s a settled fact
or. Flick also atatea: "Tuberculo
sis can toa sucres,fully treated any
where; climate liaa practically nothlne
lo do with the matter. Modem ertrn-
tlflr treatment of tuberculoeta means
u carefully selected dtet, Ute In. the
open air. regulation of exercise, and
such medication aa will help Injured
organa to do their work In a phys
iologic way."
Btatlstlr* demonstrate that certain
.•crutMitlons. crowding In Illy-ventilated
apartments, residence In tenement-
hnuee sections of cities, all lend to in
creased development of tuberculoeta.
Tuberculosis hns become *o Inter
woven Into our social fabric that It la
a factor of great Importance In tbe fu
ture development of ^mankind. No
community, city, state, race or nation
ality IS free from Its blighting Influ
ence.

-lould furnish
when rue ta reported,
giving th* manner of propagation off
the disease, the manner In which the
contagion 1* spread, giving the beat
recognised methods ot prevention and

In conclusion I would stale, from

but as to those vices that tend to produce
disease. It Is ihnrt-atghted economy to

The magnitude ' of the educational
power of the fraternal orders can not
be estimated.
X’ery often w* ee* a. man of very
limited education rise l« an exalted po,
sliion In hla community mainly through
the knowledge he obtained by attend
ing the meeting# of hie lodge.
A man who had) only a limited oppor
tunity of obtaining an education when
he we# a boy very often realises after
he has reached manhood that If he
was more proficient In rertaln studies
he would have a better opportunity to
better himself.
While th* educational facilities ol

could be desired, yet It « too bit# tor

to go tn school again, and he very
often plods along In the even tenor of
