TUBERCULOSIS SANITARlUM.
New State Institution at Iowa City
Is Nearly Ready.

| The state board of control is consider
| ing few applications for the position
of superintendent Of the new tubercu-
losis sanitarium at Iowa City. The
| position is going to be quite as hard to
| fill as that of superintendent of the in
| dustrial school for boys at Eldora, but
| not for the same reason quite. There
are many applications for the position
at Eldora, and but very few for the posi-
ton at Iowa City. But in both cases
the trouble is to get the men suited for
the position.
The tuberculosis sanitarium is near
ing completion. The contracts were
the first to be let by the board this
spring and work was commenced as
soon after the legislative appropriation
was made as possible. 1t will be com
pleted and occupied some time in the
early fall. There is a dearth of compe-
tent physicians who have made a
special study of the subject of the
treatment of tuberculosis. There were
till recently but few institutions.
These were in the east. But the state
of Maryland has recently built such an
institution and four or five other insti-
buttons have been recently built by
suites. All the assistant superintend-
enr in the few institutions of the east
have readily found positions as super
! ;ntendents in new institutions.
The new assistants who have taken
their places are still too new to be
much informed on the subject of man
aging such an institution. Hence the
board is having some difficulties.
The legislature that made the appro-
priation for the erection of the hospi-
tai also made an appropriation Of $4,000
for the discrimination of knowledge of
the treatment of tuberculosis over the
state in the way of issuing pamphlets
and by arranging for lecturers. The
board Of control has done nothing with
this matter thus far and will not take it
up till after the superintendent is APP
pointed. 1t will then consult the sup
erintendent and expects that a consid-
cradle part of the work of discriminating
knowledge over the state will be done
under the direction of the superintend-
ent and probably the superintendent
himself will be largely or at least very
frequently used to make addresses on
the subject.

in the form of beverage is desired by
everyone, especially in summer, but be-
careful what that something is. Before
you take it into your. system know that
1t IS pure and wholesome, that it is free
from disease germs or chemical adulter-

when you drink, drink OTTUMWA

NATIVE OF KENT

Earnest Huffcut. Governor Hughes
 Confidential Advisor, was Litchfield
 County Man. ~e
 New York, May 4.-The body of Er- nest w Huffeutt, formerly dean of Cor nell university and private counsel for Governor Hughes, was found on the up- per deck of the steamer Charles w, Morse Saturday. He had ended his life by shooting while seated in chair. He left two letters, one for his sister and the other for the coroner. He is believed to have been mentally unbalanced.
 MT. Huffcutt was born in Kent, Conn. ill 1862. He was graduated from the School of Arts in Cornell University in 1884, and four years later completed his studies in the law School of that institu- tion. He had for three years of that time been an instructor in English, for his mastery of the language, both as a writer and a speaker, was remarkable. He practiced law for two years in Min neapolis and was until 1899 professor of law in the Northwestern University.
 Charles E. Hughes induced him in 1893 to come to the Cornell Law School, where MT. Huffcutt was instructor and later professor. when, in 1903, he suc- ceeded MT. Hughes as dean.
 His grasp of legal subjects was phe- nomenal, and he had been frequently referred to as the possessor of crystal line mind

 The first of May reminds dog owners of the annual tax on dogs which is now due. This is one of the taxes that seem the easiest to forget, and practically ev- cry year the authorities have to hunt up lot of delinquent owners and bring them to the rack. That there are many CUTS that are not worth the amount called for is certain, but if one wants to keep mongrel cur about he should be willing to pay the tax asked, more es- pecially as the tax is laid to make it pos sible for towns to have 8 sum to fall back upon to pay the damage done by precisely this kind of dog. It is seldom that we'll bred dog commits any dep- relations upon sheep or otherwise, yet the owners of these have to pay just as much as the owners of the mongrels that generally do the mischief.
 Usually at this time of the year the garden patches are under cultivation, and numerous of the early vegetables are above ground This year garden patches lie as they did last fall, without the soil having been turned by spade or blow. Considering high prices, it is a matter which often excites much won der that more people do not cultivate garden patches. Twenty-Five years ago it is said that this home gardening was much more generally indulged in than much higher. Formerly large portion of the people raised vegetables enough for their own tables throughout the sum- mer and even much for winter use. This spring, owing to the peculiar late ness of all the characteristics of the season, even those who do enjoy vege- table raising have been able to do practi- cally nothing towards planting their garden patches.
