/. r.
caution arises doubtless from a lack
of information concerning the fright
full ravages annually wrought by tub
erculosis.
The appalling magnitude of the
mortality from this cause may be ap-
preciated when it is understood that
the annual death rate in Iowa from
tuberculosis equals in number the
population of many county seat towns
Hundreds of others leave the state
each year in search of health. The
disease is slow and insidious in its
action SO that the number who sue
cumb or migrate is largely outnum.
bered by those whose health has be-
come SO far impaired that they are
incapacitated for physical or mental
exertion. Altogether, tuberculosis is
annually drawing from the avenues
of industrial and commercial activ.
ity in Iowa young men and women,
equal in number to more than three
times the attendance at the State
University and the State Normal
School combined.
Such indifference is appalling. But
the question may be raised as to
what constitutes the remedy. Pre-
vention, like treatment, is not easy
but it is attainable and it is worth
the price.
The remedy consists in few by
gienic rules that ought to be pounded
into every doctor, every school board
every board of health, every schoo
teacher and superintendent and EN-
ployer of labor, and every father and
mother in the land. Then add to
this a rigid bovine, meat and mill
inspection law and another making i
a misdemeanor to expectorate OF
walks or in public places and a sub
stantial start will have been made
in the direction of stamping out tub
erculosis.

Some outsiders are saying to the
republican factions in Iowa, peace,
peace. But in the language of Pat
rick Henry there can be no peace.
Between the republican factions in
Iowa there is a ditch as deep ana a
wall as high as ever divided two po-
litical parties. If it We're only a
question as to who should hold GER
tain offices. the trouble would have
been patched UP long ago. But the
trouble extends much further than
that. With the rank and file, if not
with the leaders, it is matter of
conscience, it is difference of opin-
ion in reference to nearly every ques-
ton that is uppermost in the politics
of the times, and such differences
can not be patched up. In time they
will die out, but it will take time,
long time.

BLANCHE WOOD.


Miss Blanche Wood died Sunday
morning, September 18th, 1908, at the
home of her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
L. A. Wood. in this city.
She was born May %, 1888, on her
fathers farm, three miles east of
Greeley where her girlhood days were
passed. When her parents retired
from the farm three years ago and
removed to Manchester she accom-
panied them and has resided here
since then. She was an attractive
young lady with quiet disposition
which endeared her to large circle
of friends. She was ambitious for
a musical education and it is thought
that during the past few months she
ught a too great a strain on her.
self in her zeal for her work. Her
death was due to a physical break
down followed by pneumonia.
The sudden and untimely death of
this young lady is greatly to be de-
plored. The deep sympathy of the
community is extended to the be-
reaved parents in the loss of their
daughter and their only child This
Tuesday afternoon the funeral was
held at the family home in this city.

THE BOLT OF THE AZ

The bolt of the AZ republican SEN
ators and representatives. like the
charge of the Light Brigade, is des-
tined to become historic, and possib.
~, to live in song and story.
These forty-two standpatters charg-
ed into, or rather out of, the Cum
minis caucus, and the fact that some
one had Numbered made no difference
They bolted. while progressives to
the right of them and progressives to
the left of them volleyed and thun-
dered. But, unlike the members OF
the famous Light Brigade, these AZ
standpatters did not gallop back.
They remained out on their own res
ervation and have ,hoisted black
flag, which means a war of extermi-
nation, contest in which no quar-
ters will be asked for or given.

THE FIGHT ON TUBERCULOSIS
From the Press Bureau of the Board
of Control of State Institutions.

Des Moines, Sept. 15.-In addition
to the sanitarium at Oakdale near
Iowa Sity and the department of
public lectures under the direction
OF A. q. Kepford, the Board of Con-
troll has added newspaper publicity
department to assist in carrying for
ward the war against tuberculosis.
Having served time as a patient at
the sanatorium the writer has been
requested by Supt, II. E. kirschner
to record briefly some of the obser-
vatlons and experiences that the re-
lation has brought to our knowledge.
Contrary to the common belief
the sanatorium is not place where
persons afflicted with tuberculosis
can go to be cured. 1t is place
where sthe patient may go with cp.
rortunities provided for curing him
self. For it must be borne in mind
that one afflicted with tuberculosis
must earn his cure. He may be guild
ed and directed with reference to the
steps necessary, for combating the
disease which has invaded his sys-
TEN but having had the program map
ped out, it is up to the patient to
put it in operation.
The sanatorium, as stated above,
cannot cure, but it's purposes are
twofold. 1t supplies the patient with
the necessary knowledge and instruc-
ton by means of which he may cure
himself and sets an example which
him to maximum of eff
fcrt Call 1t community interest,

From the view point of the public
however, the commanding question
IS not how to become cured but how

and preventible. Prevention,

1telligent application of known pre-
and hygienic measures.

ENDOWMENT CLOSING UP.

The Lenox endowment is closing upl
The last few thousands are now want
ed, and they are wanted to close the
fund in time to celebrate the event at
the opening of school next week.
Every effort is being made to that
end. Every friend of the college want
to see it accomplished on time, that
word may go forth that the valiant
efforts to endow the old college have
been rewarded and the school saved
to the youth of this section, and to
the generations yet to come.
The last thousands come hard. 1t
is always the case in campaigns of
this nature. More money must be
raised in Hopkinton and vicinity.
There have been many liberal pledges
in this section. and many subscribers
have given more than originally
signed. But still there are many resi-
dents who have profited by the col
lege in the past, and who will profit
by the. continuation of the institu-
ton in future, who have not yet
come forward with their subscriptions
The latter can be of great assistance
to the cause now If they will The
last call is out The end is all but
in sight A renewed effort, a hearty
cooperation from all sources, a sharp
canvass and the campaign will close
with a joyful flourish.
The Leader believes with President
Reed that the requirement of the en-
dowment fund by the opening of
school next week, and three months
before the time limit set for its finish
will be OF great benefit to the college,
not only having bearing in the at
traction of students but finding favor
with Mr.. Carnegie who pledges the
largest sum, and with others who will
he called upon in the future. 1t will
put new vim into the college author
tiles and increased enthusiasm into
every actual and prospective student.
The last call is on. Can any resi-
dent of Hopkinton and vicinity afford
to stand in the light as being oppos-
ed to this worthy object, or looking
with Indifference upon its success or
failure? To large extent this is a
community affair. The college means
much to the community itself. 1t is
ia part and parcel of our social and
business life-an asset of which every
citizen should be disposed to point
with pride. 1t is essential to our
welfare from commercial stand
point. Then this last call for the
few remaining thousands to insure
should be met with hearty response
and those who have not come up
with pledges should be prompt in an
swer to the call.-Hopkinton Leader.
