MOTHER FLORENCE MEMORIAL
Governor 1och Calls Meeting to Dis.
(uSS IT

Before going to Leavenworth today 70
visit the state penitentiary Governor T. w.
Hoch issued call for a meeting to be
held at his office at o clock Tuesday al
raising of a fund of So 0o0 to erect in To-
peka a permanent home=for the Salvation
Army the same to be known as the
Mother Florence Memorial
This meeting is for the public, and all
the friends of Mother Florence are invited
to attend. ~
This call was issued as the result of a
conference a the depot just before the
governor took the train. Governor Hoch,
Senator Dolly, Johr F. Carter and several
1T is the governors plan;' said Mr..
Carter <'to give the friends of Mother
Florence a chance to do mething worth
while for a memorial to that worthy Wo-
raise fund of $500. and probably more.
for the purpose, and the meeting called
for Tuesday is simply to get the move
ment properly started
The erection of a permanent home for
the Salvation Army IN Topeka would put
that organiza ton on its feet in good
shape. The Army has been somewhat
shaky here for a number of years and
there has been a good deal of internal dis
sension. Sometimes there have been two
different army camps; sometimes they
have fought each other so f1ercely that
both have died out, and the town has been
without any army to speak of. But with
a permanent home the army will be in
shape to carry on its work on much
more stable and systematic basis.
1t seems as though there should be no
difficulty in raising in Topeka fund of
$4,000 or more for the purpose designated;
s., 00a would not build very much of a
building. What the army needs is a
also for baths, lodgings and reading rooms
for the poor and unfortunate.

CONSUMPTION LEADS.
Responsible for More Deaths in Kan
sas Than All Other Contagion.

According to the report of the state
board of health. issued today by Secre-
tary S. J. Crumbine, consumption
caused 81 death in Kansas last month,
more than twice as many as were
caused by all other forms of contagioh
combined
This fact is used by DR.. Crumbine as
the basis for plea which he makes in
the report for the establishment of a
state hospital for the care of INDECENT
tubercular patients.
Reasons multiply says DR.. Crum-
bine, "why the state of Kansas should
have an institution for the treatment
of tuberculosis poor. The various
state institutions should also have sep
arate buildings in which their tuber-
cuiar patients could be isolated. The
institutions are crowded and it is al
tives without their being a menace to
other patients
Dr. Crumbine on July % received
the following letter from Oskaloosa:
Gentlemen: My mother has con-
sumption in the worst form and has
fingered for almost a year. 1 am TAX

cared for. and she is financially unable
to hire nurse. My sister stayed with
her about one and half months last
fall, and died of consumption in less
than two months afterwards. The
doctor says I have symptoms of it now,
yet I cannot leave her alone. If am
rightly informed, the state of Kansas
has no provisions for such cases. Now,
gentlemen, for humanity's sake urge
the next legislature to make provision
for such cases. Hoping this may in
