DeS MoineS, Sept. ZS.-lf Iowa C1ly
can furnish proper site with railroad
facilities a sufficient supply OF wa
ter, quarter section of farm land ana
an opportunity to dispose of the sew
age, it would be in the lead for the To-
cation of the new $250,0OO tuberculosis
hospital. and the chances are strong
that it would secure it.
Legislature, when the state board of
control began to look for a site, some
OF the people of Iowa City opposed the
Iocation of the hospital there, looking
upon>it as sort, of pest house. This
feeling is understood to have disap>
peared as the people became properly
Informed on the matter. Now the
question is one of site. The authors
tiles of the state university would like
to have the hospital located there.
Medical authorities who are familiar
with the subject declare that it will be
necessary for new race of physicians
to be educated before the disease can
be properly coped with. Other medi-
this far, but all recognize the great adj
vantage of having the institution To-
Gated near to the state university meds
ical school.
Pathology has come to be one of the
more important studies of medicine
and surgery. The pathological appli-
ances for making tests and microsco-
pic examinations are complete at the
university medical school, and it is
claimed that the tax payers would be
saved money by the location of the tu-
berculosis hospital there. Some go as
far as to say that any doctor can
treat patient If he is sure what is the
matter with the patient. Pathology
tells what the ailment is. BY the loca-
tion of the tuberculosis hospital there
the institution could take advantage
cf the medical school, and the medical
school could take advantage Of the hos
pital for educating it's students on the
treatment of the disease.

ory that confronts the board Of control
in fixing the site for the new hospital.
The board must have some farm land,
1T must have facilities for the public
to get to and from the institution
must have good water and plenty of it
and must have possibilities of dispos-
ing of the sewage. The last is the least
of the difficulties, as it may be burn
ed. The railroad facilities and water
are vital.
Friends Of Capt j. A. T. Hull have
been informed that he will be home
next Sunday, and that about the mid
die of next week he will start out to
campaign in this district. Captain
Hull has not done very extensive cam
paigning in recent years. but he is a
fine speaker and 1t is understood he is
willing this year to go out and do yeo-
man service for the party, not only in
his own district, but in all parts of the
state. He never stood better with his
own constituents than this year, which
was shown by the fact that he OBJ
tained his denomination without a
shadow of opposition. He has been at
his extensive farm in Virginia during
the summer and fall. He is afflicted
with hay fever ,and dares not remain
in Iowa during the hay fever season.
Judge E. P. Seeds, formerly Of Man
chester, but now of Washington, will
probably give two or three weeks to
the campaign in Iowa this year. He is
brilliant speaker and man we'll in
formed on all public questions.

tor Beveridge for speech in this city
