' CALCIUM HYPOCHLORITE TAB
LETS FOR TOURISTS
With the increasing spread of
knowledge concerning health matters.
it would be difficult perhaps to find
anyone today who is not familiar with
the danger involved in using polluted
drinking water.
It is well known that water contam
inatecLby sewage apd waste from out
houses, pig pens, chicken houses, etc
is unfit for human use. And perhaps
no class of people is more concerned
with the importance of obtaining at
all times a safe water supply than
tourists and travelers, who are com
pelled to obtain their water supplies
without knowledge as to their purity
and safety.
FolIo lg its custom of several
years anu or the benefit of Chicago's
army of motor tourists and summer
dwellers,.the Health Department Lab
oratory has m prepared in convenient
form the calcium hypochlorite tablets
for rendering suspected water safe and
thus avoiding the danger of typhoid
infection. These tablets contain 20 to
.30 milligrams of chlorine per tablet;
are put up in glass vials and if kept
tightly stoppered in a cool, dark place
will retain their potency for about
four weeks. The tablets can be had
upon application at Room 707, Win
dow 1, City Hall.
In using the tablets the following
directions should be carefully ob
served: Dissolve one tablet by crush
ing between the fingers in one quart
of water in an ordinary Mason jar,
which should be sealed with an air
tight cap. The jar" is then shaken,
contents allowed to settle, and should
be stored in a cool, dark place. This
is the stock solution and under aver
age conditions will last about one
week, after which it should be re
newed.
To prepare water for drinking: Take
one teaspoonful of the clear stock so
lution, avoiding the sediment, to tone
eight-ounce glass of drinking water;
allow it to stand for five minutes, when
it is ready for drinking and will be safe.
If it is suspected that the water is
heavily polluted, two teaspoonsful of
the stock solution should be used to
each eight-ounce glass of water. If it
is desired to make up a daily supply,
ready for use, it can be done by add
ing four teaspoons of the stock solu
tion to each quart of water.
When you go on a vacation, be care
ful as to the water 'supply, flics and
mosquitoes, outhouses and refuse dis
posal Fine scenery, good fishing and
good table fare do not at all make up
for dirty and unsanitary surroundings.
DR.
COOK OF
POLITAN
THE METRO-CENTER
By Dr. M. A. Majors
LAZY LANDLORDS
A tormented housewife writes to the
Department saying: "Can't you come
to my rescue? Our landlord has raised
the rent, but he will not furnish us
with screens. We have babies that
need protection against flies, so I am
appealing to you to make the land
lord comply with the law."
The above is only a sample of the
complaints received daily. The De
partment is serving notices on all de
linquent landlords to provide screens
and eventually suits will be brought
and fines imposed; but it may be well
along towards tKe close of the fly sea
son before, under the usual methods
of procedure, relief can be obtained.
Before the child can know abotit
things which affect its physical health
and well being, the teacher must
know.
Babies are well worth having and
well worth saving. So, every week
should be a baby week. Save the babies.
Rev. S. L. Birt, the wide awake
pastor of Bethel church, 30th and
Dearborn streets, returned home last
evening from Wilbcrforce. O where
he attended the 59th annual anniver
sary comencement exercises.
Once in a great while you meet a
real man in your travels. Defeat and
disappointment mean the downfall of
a great many men; not so with men
of the sterling character of Dr. W. D.
Cook. He seems to be dipped Kold-
washed in the maelstrom of Hercu
lean endeavors, and the harder the
task the greater are his efforts in
bringing big things to pass.
What has made some men bishops
Dr. Cook would hold with disdain.
What has proved to be the visitation
of vengeance by his enemies has
forced Dr. Cook into position and
power. Defeat in one way serves to
be the spur of his valiant spirit to
fill the-place of a man worth while.
At the moment of his darkest hour
came the birth of his great ministe
rial triumph. He had the noble char
acter to raise fifty thousand dollars
while in his last church work in the
A. M. E. church in Chicago. While
in his last charge in that connection
ne was ousiiy engaged in raising
money to build for the denomination
the finest church in the west When
the rift in the conference came, and a
bishop broke a promise to gratify the
hate of a would-be bishop he had in
his possessions upwards of twenty
six thousand dollars which he handed
over on his retirement from African
Methodism.
These are facts that still cling to
the memory of a great many that
would serve as a brand, and point a
condemning finger at one or two big
ones who preceded Dr. Cook at Bethel
church.
The Metropolitan Center has a
community of interests, a large com
munity house, operating at full blast,
reaching into all of the civic life of
the race. For the past two years up
wards of twenty-five hundred people
have been assisted, clothed, fed and
procured positions, while yet having
their spiritual natures revived and
their confidence and trust" in human
ity awakened.
This is some of the great work to
which the Rev. Dr. Cook has given
his active heart, brain and spirit Of
course he could not have accom
plished so much in the short time it
has taken, but we must not lose sight
of the fact that it is attributable to
his leadership and his exquisite judg
ment to surround himself with the
kind of able men and women who are
alert to the great racial aggressive
ness to do great things.
The world can not have enough of
such busy, unselfish Christian work
ers as Dr. Cook has shown himself
to 'be. Against the combined efforts
of a great deal of scullduggery, and
malicious mischief onthe part of
some powerful agencies he has
wrought great things because no man
can do the work he has done unless
God be with "him.
Those who were fortunate enough
to gain admittance to the over-crowd
ed Auditorium of Bcreart. Baptist
Church, cor. of 52nd and Dearborn
sts., last Monday evening, June 12, to
jcar the wonderfully interesting pro
gram given by the Bcthcsda Baptist
Church Choir, under the very success
ful directorship of the well-known
singer and director. Madam Martha B.
Anderson, were more than highly
pleased. '
The rendition of Farmer's "Mass in
B Flat" was most splendidly rendered,
af which instantly gave evidence oT
their Directress' careful training. Also
he beautiful "Serenade from Abt"
Aas thoroughly enjoyed.
Madam Anderson deserves great
rredit indeed for her successful efforts
n arranging and producing this grand
program.
To the great delight of the Audi
ence, Madam Anderson had fortunate
ly secured to assist her. two of our
well-known artists, namely: Messrs. T.
T. Taylor and W. E. Gossettc. Mr.
Gossettc opened the program with an
Organ solo, "Prelude Adagio-C-Min-or,"
by Guilmant. Mr. Taylor the not
ed pianist, played a group of selections
by Negro composers: (a) Mammy,
Dctt: (b) They would not lend me a
child, S. C. Taylor; (c) Bamboula, S.
C Taylor. Both celebrated artists
added, with their wonderfully pleasing
talent, much to the interest of the pro
gram which was on a whole, a com
plete success, artistically and financi
ally.
Those who heard this splendidly
arranged program had nothing but
praise for their excellent work.
I might add for the benefit of those
who are not perfectly acquainted
with Henry Farmer, composer of the
"Mass in B-FIat" sung by the choir,
died June 5th, 1891, at the age of 72
years, and the performance of his
work at this season of the year is
especially significant, commemorating
both his birth and death. Henry Far
mer was born in Nottingham, Eng
land, May 13th, 1819.
In passing it may not be out of place
to note that Mr. Leon Smith, violinist
and Mahclte Hill, accompanist, were
both exceedingly clever in executing
their several important parts, and all
those participating on the program
were heartily applauded and loudly
praised for their artistic ability, at the
end of each number. "C."
