IS
PREVALENT IN THE
DAIRY DISTRICTS

DeS Moines, la, Sept. 6.-Fifty thou
Iowa people have been told dur
ing the last summer how to avoid
tuberculosis by the lecturer of he Iowa
Society for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis. A triie over one year
has elapsed since this society started
A. f. kepford as n lecturer to tour the
state and by public lectures to spread
the information of means and methods
of fighting tuberculosis. Some of the
territory traversed a year ago has been
reached now a second time, and per-
M afflicted are reporting excellent
progress in fighting the disease by fol-
lowing the directions AS to the open air
treatment.
One of the most interesting and i'm
portant facts disclosed by the labors
Of Mr.. Kepford is that tuberculosis in
Iowa prevails most in the northern
part OF the state in Inc dairy district.
disclosing the fact beyond dispute, thai
the disease is largely contracted from
the bovine tuberculosis in milk. The
society. while attempting to spread the
Information as to the proper treatment
OF h disease by the open air method
has been endeavoring to acquire for
itself all the information possible Oh
the subject. The northern part of the
state is way ahead OF the southern
part in dairy industry. 1t is also way
ahead OF the southern part Of the state
In number of cases of tuberculosis.
The disclosing of this fact will re-
suit in the society going before the
next legislature and asking 1t to enact
the most stringent laws possible for the
purpose of stamping out tuberculosis in
cattle. 1t will be necessary to conduct
tests on the most extensive scale and
to quarantine and kill the cattle I'm
fected with tuberculosis.
The most hopeful discovery made by
the society is that those persons who
are following closely the open air treat
ment. and who began such treatment
on the advice given by the societ5's
agent in his public lectures. are for the
most part recovering.

Last year the railroads were taken

The railroads have been building

hampered the move of the railroads
