1t is prevailing opinion among

INCREASE OF SICKNESS AMONG
THE INDIANS ON THE RESER-
WALTON HAS DEMANDED THAT
SOMETHING BE DONE.

The necessity for action by the
Indian department to improve the
health among the Indians on the res.
ervation is shown by the reports
showing an unusual amount of sick
ness on the Nez Perez reservation
this winter.
Tn percent of sickness Is best
suggested by the attendance at the
government school at Fort Lapwai,
where but 80 pupils are now enrol
led as against 100 at this time last
year, the decrease being due almost
entirely to sickness in the tribe.
The Indians generally are the
victims of tuberculosis and this dis
ease is said to be fostered by the
manner in which the Indians live
and their little attention to the
sanitary conditions about their
homes. the absence Of knowledge as
to the necessity Of fumigation and
their failure to use disenfectants
where diseases prevail.
The Indian department hereafter
Will maintain an inspection OF the
Indian homes for the purpose OF as
pertaining where diseases are locat-
ed and will compel the parents to
observe the rules Of sanitation and
to use disenfectants to prevent a
spread of the disease. '&
