Facts That Must Be Faced is the
name of a little booklet issued by the
board of health not long ago and
this will be used quite extensively
1t is an illustrated feafiet telling in
ghasty pen drawings the manner in
which tuberculosis is carried from one
to another, how it should be avoided,
how the conSumptive should be taken
care of and the number of cures.
This will be used more than any of
the other literature.
There are hundreds of Kansas
towns anxious for the exhibit and
Secretary Crumbine is doing all in his
power to accommodate them all. The
towns have to furnish the hall, light,
and the dray charges from the depot
to the hall.
How Appropriation Was Secured.
A little history connected with this
exhibit might make the people of
Kansas appreciate more highly what
they are getting at the expense Of
the state. This tuberculosis awaken
ing did not seem to impress the MEM
bers Of the last legislature and when
DIR. Crumbine' bill for this present
exhibit came up before the house it
was killed in cold blood. 1t had been
the pride of the secretary's heart and
for two long years he has been
figuring, and looking forward to the
time when he would be able to en-
tighten the people Of the state.
The last business transacted in the
legislature was scheduled at night
and thinking late in the evening that
he might be able to do something
DR.. Crumbine went up to the state
house and listened to the tired and
hot legislative bodies grinding out
their tiresome business. Suddenly a
thought came to him he might send
through an appropriation for this
exhibit in the miseelianeo appro-
priation bills and gathering together
in his fold two men whom he knew
would be for such d proposition he
presented it to them. They shook
their heads however, and were doubt
full of such wild cat scheme ever
passing through it's enemies in the
house. DIR. Crumbine pleaded with
the speaker to listen to one OF his
men who was put down as the Spok es-
man and finally the speaker agreed.
The speech was made and was
greeted with a howl Irom the ways
and means committee and the con-
who did not believe that
such thing should be carried on. 1t
was far into the morning before the
bill finally passed the house and al
most daylight before it passed the
senate But Dr. Crumbine won his
battle and needless to say he was the
happiest man in the state house for
weeks.
