Advises Establishment of SanatOria.
The following is what the report says
about tuberculosis. or consumption:
THE great white plague claimed 965
victims in Kansas in 1905. This is a
death rate of 63.7 per 100 900 population
Of counties reporting. The rate is some
what less than the average death rate
of the eastern and southern states, some
of which are as high as 175 per 100000
1T must be remembered, also, that
many Of these cases come from other
states, seeking the more favora Bile eli
matte conditions Of altitude, sunshine
and dryness of atmosphere; hence the
above death rate does not represent the
rate of native Kansans, which Is impos-
sible to tabulate from reports received.
Statistics from sanatoria for the past
two years have developed the fact that
from fifty to seventy-f1ve per cent of
tubercular cases are cured by the sana-
torium treatment. This would mean
saving of from 475 to $50 lives each year
in Kansas by such treatment.
We truly believe that our state has
a duty TO perform in the matter of care
for her tubercular poor. She provides for
her insane, epileptics, and moral de-
generates, and surely they are of no
more value than those who suffer from
tuberculosis; besides, the chances for
cure and restoration to society as useful
men and women are infinitely greater.
We urge and pray that our next legis-

What Antitoxin Is Doing
Although last year saw the greatest
epidemic of diphtheria in the history
of the state, the death rate from the
disease was low, owing to the use of
antitoxin. so the report says. The
total number of cases was 1900, and
deaths were PSI. This gives q NOR
tality OF only 1879 per cent. The re-
port says
Before the days of antitoxin and
the bacterioiogfst, this dread disease
was feared by both laymen and ply
sicians, with its mortality of 23 to
81 per cent, but with each succeeding
year and the more general and early
use of antitoxin. the death rate grad
ually grows less The largest num-
Der of cases of diphtheria occurred in
the city of Leavenworth. z26: next

WHITE PLAGUE is BAD

Kansas is the state for long life. So
reads the annual report of vital statis-
tics made public today by DR.. S. j.
Crumbine, secretary Of the Kansas
state board of health
In Kansas the death rate was only
7.5 last year for every 1000 people. In
states east of the Mississippi river, the
average is about 13 per 1000. OF the
9,7os deaths reported for the whole
state last year, whose ages are known,
nearly half were of people over 90 years
of age. The death rate of children in
Kansas is exceptionally low. DR.. Crum-
bine says in his report:
The simple, temperate and rural life
of a majority of the people Of Kansas,
together with the splendid climatic
conditions which prevail during the
greater portion OF the wear produce the
ideal conditions which make for long
life of her people"
Two people are reported as living in
Kansas who are over 10 years of age.
Eight others who have reached the age
Of 100 or over are reported The largest
number of deaths between any given
decade of life was between go and 10,
which is the natural time for people to
die.
The greatest killer in the state is
consumption The great white plague
claimed 965 victims in Kansas in 1905.
Authorities estimated that for each
Qedtn Dy consumption, lnefe are 0Ne
cases in existence On this basis it is
estimated that there are 1925 cases of
the disease in Kansas. DR.. Crumbine
says:
This condition is frightful to con-
template. Consumption is causing more
deaths than any of these wars, about
which we read so much. And consump-
ton is an absolutely preventable dis
ease. It is not hereditary. 1t is in
fectious, and the sooner people are
hTOUU6t IN realization nf fact
the quicker the number of cases will
decrease and the death rate fall off
4 propose this fall to make a COM
plete census Of the consumptive cases
in Kansas. This will be made through
the county health officers of each coun-
ty, and each county health officer will
get his reports from the doctors of his
county. This is the first step in fight
ing the disease. It will also serve to
determine whether suspected cases are
really consumption or not
The following shows the total num-
ber of deaths from contagion in the
state during the year.

FERNS OF SUBSCRIPTION:
no AMENDING THE NEW TAX
LAWS.

During the recent campaign every
body seemed willing to use as battle
cry something about amending the
new tax laws. The Democrats soft
ened their threat of repeal by saying
they would revise and amend; the
so.called insurgent Republicans sup
ported the candidates on the regular
ticket on the ground that the new
laws we're to be changed somewhat
The State administration. said the
new laws were not perfect in every
detail and would need some touching
up here and there. But as stated once
! before in these columns, Tax Commits
missioner Dillon was the only person
to say Just in what points the new
laws needed amendment. OF course 1t
cannot be foretold so far ahead what
the Legislature will do, but the West
SiVirginian stakes its reputation as a
prophet on the prediction that the
new tax laws will not be changed in
any essential particular by the incom'
ing Legislature. They may be
ngthened In a few places and alter
"a slightly in others, but in the main,
they will stand as they now are for
they are good revenue producers and
the people at large are not having to
bear an unjust share Of the burden.
THE new tax laws are beneficial and
the people know 1T and they will
stand by the men who will uphold
them. The tax reform fight has been
won and there is nothing left now but
ia 60 ahead and make the new laws
stronger and more efficient.
