ing practitioners will present papers.
The association, which is now but a
year old, has accomplished a great
deal. Not only has it disseminated a
large amount of literature In a state
wide educational campaign, but 1t sue
ceeded in getting bill through the
priating $4,000 for state sanitorium
for the treatment OF incipient tubercu-
| losis. The association now has on a
propaganda of education and employs
a lecturer who is devoting his entire
time to the platform, speaking at chau-
tauqua assemblies, before civic socie-
ties, charitable organizations and in
churches.
When 1t Is remembered that con.
sumption carries away about one-sew
enth Of all who die, and that two thou.
sand die annually from consumption
1 in Iowa and that eight thousand others
are infected; 1t will be seen that 1t is
time that something was DONE Tuber-
oulosis is durable disease II taken in
time, and 1t is hoped that the people
throughout the state will take an ac-
tive interest In the work of the assoc
citation and the coming meeting. The
