DIES MONIES. Sept. lS.-(special)-Des
Moines has taken steps to provide for an
open air tuberculosis colony especially for
the poor people Of the city among whom
tuberculosis makes it's work most effective.
DR.. +. Luther Stevens is leading in the
work, assisted by the Iowa Humane society
and other charitable associations. Out on
the hill near the detention hospital a num-
Der Of near open air shanties are to be
erected at once. One family was taken
out today and placed in a tent.
The spread Of tuberculosis, ittis claimed,
is mostly through the dirt and filth Of the
novels in which the poor people live. In
the tents and open air shanties to be
built for them they will be forced to keep
clean by the attendants who will be in
charge. 1t is expected to do several
months good effective work before the
winter comes on and to start again early
next spring, The State Board of Control
will cooperate with the city in the work.
