DEDICATION OF A PUXPOSS.
By Benjamin A. Browning.
The dedication of a purpose can be
simplified by saying, one's aim or one's
object is life. It is that which one has
designated as the achievement he in
tends to make.
The man or person who has some
thing specific that they want to accom
plish will elways find something' to de
vote their time to. It is Tiot likely
they will be found in a poolroom, mov
ing picturo show or public dance. At
regular intervals, of coarse, every one
needs recreation and a certain amount
of pleasure, but there are so many
beneficial ways of obtaining pleasuro
and gaining recreation that there arc
no excuses for wasting time and money
on things that are absolutely no good
to us.
The bright lights and good times arc
luring the minds of the young people
of this day. Oh, how they cravo for
frivolity and chum with dissipation;
how they seek for soft spots to linger
in idleness; how they will scorn and
belittle an idea or attempt .to uplift
them. When approached, they will re
ply, "Let other people look out for
themselves. I believe in having a good
time while you are young.'' This sen
timent is expressed because they aro
influenced by the wrong environments.
But the person who is scaling the lad
der of ambition, to drive his peg high,
will shun the demoralizing contacts and
go about unheeding the things that are
mentally devastating and because they
so wrapped up in their work are deaf
to the calling of physical and moral
corruption.
The ancient Greeks, as primitivo as
they were, in some respects were su
perior to us. I do not intend to convey
the idea that they were perfect, for
they had their vices and faults. There
was no great economic problems then
or labor questions; in fact the various
problems of today did not confront
them. Nevertheless they have set some
examples that have lived until today.
The Greeks' great aim may be ex
pressed in three terms Knowledge,
Wisdom, Education. Under education
was included the religious, physical and
moral development. Their minds and
their efforts were concentrated upon
what was considered their chief pur
pose, education. The Roman's ideal
was strength, physical and military,
and they were also firm cohercnts of
patriotism. The children of the Greeks
and Bomans were taught in their early
age to regard these ideals as supreme.
The motives of the parents wero im
bedded in the catechisms of the timo
and executed by the children.
In studying history we learn 'of
Spain's attempt to colonize, the entire
world. Her chief object- wasto make
Spain ruler over every dominion. So
she set about claiming, colonizing and
warring. These wero the important
steps leading to the accomplishment
she desired. Later on we learn of Na
poleon's aim, which was to make
France sovereign over the universe. He
did hold May festivals or Olympian
games, although he may have enjoyed
them, because they did do him any
good in achieving his purpose, but he
did attend a military school, and when
he received a commission in the army
ho worked hard for advancement.
After gaining prominence and leader
ship he began to realize his object.
These are only a few examples of the
many. All great and successful people
have at an early period of their lifo
designated something specific that they
wanted to be or to accomplish, and
worked along those lines. Not every
one reaches the goal he is headed for.
Some start out to be something and end
up in jail or vagabonds, but if one
starts out as a mechanic and ends up
as a professional, ho has fundamentally
and virtually accomplished his object.

The white girl waitresses who dis
placed the Colored boys two months
ago at the Gladstone hotel, were not
acceptable to the guests of the hostelry
and were replaced last week by another
crew of Colored waiters, with vMr. John
Thompson, formerly of the Auditorium
hotel cafe, as head waiter.' Mr. Thomp
son is one of the most capable and ex
perienced young men in the profession.
There will be no excuse if ho does not
make good, because he is well quali
fied to fill the bill.

Y. M. C. A BANQUET.
The membership campaign of the Y.
M. C. A located at 3Sth street and Wa
bash avenue was started at a banquet
given at that institution Tuesday eve
ning. Tables were spread for 150, and
every plato was taken. Three persons
took out a senior membership, fourteen
regular membership, and about twenty
two the social -membership. The toast
master was Dr. Hall, its president. Mr.
A L. Jackson, tho new secretary, was
the principal speaker.
From what the writer could glean
from tho meeting, the officials seem to
be smarting under the unkindly criti
cism coming from those who should bo
putting their shoulders to the wheel
and help make tho institution what tho
friends and donors expect it to be. Tho
officers are working overtime trying to
keep the good name of the Christian
Negro of Chicago intact. They aro ask
ing for tho co-operation of every Col
ored man in this city, by taking out a
social membership, which is only two
dollars. The slogan is five thousand
members this year, and from the ac
tivity of tho new secretary, Mr. Jack
son, I believe they aro going to get the
number. The membership campaign is
on; watch it grow.
At this reception many of our most
prominent citizens took out member
ship and paid up in full. A snap-shot
seeno was taken and the representa
tives of the Colored press will be con
spicuously seen in full view. We con
templated to publish the speeches, but
took this method of boosting tho cam
paign, which to onr way of thinking is
the most useful and effective. The re
port was fine and pleasing, and those
who were present were more than sat
isfied and all of one accord voiced the
sentiments expressed by the officials.
Lot tho membership campaign proceed.

SCARLET FEVER.
Scarlet fever is an acute infectious
disease with a variety of signs or
symptoms which will cause the casual
observer to mistake it for other dis
eases. Its chief victim is found in tho
young, the children; although it may
attack adults. Children at the breast
are rarely subject to the disease. Its
principal symptoms are a skin inflam-
mation, a rash and an angry looking
inflammation of the throat and tonsil.
In the sixteenth century Ingrasscas of
Naples and Coyttar of Poitiers recog
nized the disease. Sydenham described
it in 1675 under the name of febria
scarlatina.
The definite cause of the disorder is
not known. It is supposed to be a germ
and because the streptococcus pyogenes
is found in the blood of the victims dur
ing life and after death frequently, it
is supposed to be the causative germ.
Since the streptococcus pyogenes is
constantly present in the throat in se
vere cases, it is certain that that micro
organism plays an important part in
the poisons that prostrate the patients.
It is a widespread disease; it occurs
in nearly all parts of tho earth and at
tacks all race varieties. It varies
greatly in the intensity of the out
breaks. Some years it is mild and in
others it is fearfully malignant. Spo
radic cases occur from time to time;
again epidemics are frequent. Ninety
per cent of the cases that produce
death occur before the tenth year of
life. The children are more liable to
measles than scarlatina.
There is family susceptibility as has
been observed when four or five mem
bers of the same family are killed by
the disease in rapid succession. Soma
individuals possess immunity. An at
tack usually confers subsequent immu
nity; but there have been what is con
sidered by the highest authorities one
or two recurrences. Some authorities
consider such so-called recurrences a
skin disease that resembles scarlet fe
ver; it is called acute exfoliating der
matitis. The disease is probably spread by
the secretions of the nose and throat
as well as by the breathing mechanism
or respiratory tract. Of late years it
is a custom to regard all cases of sore
throat or inflammatory conditions of
the tonsils and fauces of mild type as
means of spreading the disease. In
this way it seems to be spread in tho
schools. It has been noted that when
the schools are not in session, the dis
e:ise is not so prevalent. There is
thought to bo a fruitful source of con
tagion in the scaling which is of sev
eral weeks' duration. The disease is
said to be spread !,,- a roataasinatfl
milk supply. The reptororr .'I
genes has been trannl , thp rc,,
through the various rhannels from'
case to the dairy, it having been den
onstrated that persons .onm-.-te.l ,ft
the milk supply had the prm .a their
excreta.
The onset of scarlet iPTor IS M a
rum suuuen. inere ls often a piece
ing indisposition whieh i hardly no
ticeable. Convulsions are common wh
in the disorder. Sometimes the disease
is ushered in with a chili. Vomita
is a" frequent early manifestation. The
lever is high and rises rapidly. Con-h
is- not so frequent and the "catarrhal
symptoms are rare. The skin $ drv;
the tongue is furred, later it becomes
red, which has evoked the term "rajp
berry" or "strawberry" tone.
The eruption, which sometimes does
not appear, begins on the neek m
chest and extends so rapidly that bv
the evening of the second day may
have invaded the entire skin. It has
a vivid scarlet hue at its height; the
color of the rash is distinctively char
acteristic of scarlatina and absolntelr
unlike that of any other eruptive dii
case. After persisting for two or three
days the rash gradually fades. The
eruption may not apin-ar upon the fate
while visible corporally. Bv the seventh
or eighth day the rash has disappearei
With the disappearance of the rash, the
upper layer of the cutielc begins to
separate. It begins at the neck and
chest and flakes are gradually de
tached. The complications and sequelae are
kidney involvement, heart involvement,
joint inflammation, ear trouble, en
largement of the glands of the neck,
sloughing of anatomical structures u
or about the throat, acute bronciiti
and broncho-pneumonia, paralysis ud
nervous complications, such as maaii
and melancholia. The intense throat
symptoms and high fever lead us to sus
pect tho co-existence of diphtheria.
The two disorders have much in com
mon. The death rate of this disease has
been falling off of late years. The
younger the child the greater the dan
ger. The most unfavorable symptoms
are high fever, hemorrhages, suppres
sion of urine, which often proves rap
idly fatal, laryngeal obstruction and
suppuration of the cervical glands or
cerbical bubo.
The successful cure depends upon the
physician's care and the strict carry
ing out of his instructions. School in
spection will prevent children spread
ing the disease; in like manner the dis
ease may be nipped in the bud.
