The Laymen's Association was Or
ganized during conference week last

meeting. The object of such an asso-
citation is to interest laynen thruout
the conference in matters pertaining 10
the church in general, to the end that
greater usefulness may be had among

will treat the subject of The Present
Status of the Public Care of Epileptics
In the United States, with special re-
port of the Work in Kansas the fact
is the state board of control has been
in favor for some time of the state
erecting a separate hospital for epilep-
tics, it being recognized that this is
the only satisfactory method of treat
ment, and the expense is all that
stands in the way OF the matter other
things being more pressing for legis-
lative appropriations.
The Board has concluded its vista
ton of proposed sites for the tubercu-
losis hospital, and will decide on the
location in a few days, it is expected.
The last sites visited were at Fort
Dodge and Iowa Falls. 1t is expected
to select the site and let the contract
