UNDER BOARD OF CONTROL.
Proposed to Give That Body Charge of
State Consumptives' Hospital.

The quarterly meeting of the Kan
sas state board OF health will be held
Thursday, and one OF the principal
Things to be discussed is the proposed
state hospital for consumotives. for
which the legislature will re asked to
appropriate $685. 900.
1t is proposed In the bill to have the
governor appoint an advisory board of
four members. three of whom shall be
physicians, who shall select the site
and manage the institution in an ad-
VisOrY capacity. Another proposition
in the bill IS that the state board of
control shall have charge of the ex-
penditures of the money for the estab-
lshment of the hospital and an appro-
priation OF $35, 000 is also asked for to
be expended by the board of control in
running the institution. The matter
has been submitted to the board of
control but its members have arrived
at no decision in the matter. 1t is not
believed that they are opposed to the
general proposition but the manner in
which it is to be accomplished will
likely draw some suggestions from
them.
Members of the board Of control
realize that it will be impossible to
treat sane and insane consumptives in
the same institution, and they discuss
the question of caring for insane
tubercular patients in a portion of
their annual report which Is now in
the hands of the state printer
In one part of this report they point
out the necessity for the segregation
of the consumptive insane and among
other things will recommend that the
coming legislature make an appropria-
ton of $4,000 for the construction of
ii detached pavilion for the treatment
of insane consumDtives in connection
with. the state hospital at Topeka.
They believe that a separate place
should be provided for insane con-
sumptives at all of the large state hos
pitfalls but will only ask for this one
this year and make other arrange
nents for the time being for the Sc
gregation of the consumDt ives in the
other Institutions.
