COUNTY HOSPITAL
AT DONNELLSON
Some Arguments in Favor Of the
Proposition of Having the New
County Institution.

To the Editor of The Gate City:
Twenty-Five counties in Iowa will
vote on the county hospital ques-
tion this fall
The total assessed valuation of Lee
county is 1921 ,251.00. One-fourth of
this is taxable. S2,2S0,312.33 1-3 is
then taxable valuation of the county.
Half a mill tax then, assessed on
this will yield S1140.15 each year,
and in twenty years will yield S22,SO3
which is $2,S03 more than we have
asked the county to raise In "
years to provide a county hospital az
Donnellson
Some papers have stated that a
2 IL mill tax would be levied. 1t is
untrue. In the first place the law
only permits mills to be levied for
hospital purposes. In the second
place IL mill levy will more than
build and equip the hospital.
But since bonds would be issued
nv the county and these would bear
interest. the levy must be enough to
nav Ile DOIuS dilu HhfHSSI WIZ
they become due in 20 years, or in
other words the yearly tax must be
enough to pay the interest on the
bonds each year and leave enough
that with the interest which has ac-
cumulated from year to year it will
amount to $4,000 in twenty years
We find that levy of one mill on
the dollar would be ten cents on ev
cry hundred dollars or one dollar on
thousand and since only one fourth
of the assessed value is taken for q
tax basis man must be assessed
only one dollar for hospital purposes
for every four thousand dollars val
uation.
A man worth ten thousand dollars
would pay two dollars and hal
hospital tax This certainly woult
not be much when we consider tn,

Iowa has spent to stamp out diseas

(By Phil p. Jacobs.)

assistant Secretary of the National
Association for the Study and Pre-
vention of Tuberculosis.)
A reception and dinner rendered to
DR.. Edward l.. Trudeau, the founder
of the Adirondack Cottage sanitarium
and the originator of the American
crusade against tuberculosis, early in
February marked the end of the TWEEN
| ty-fifth year of this life-saving work.
The gathering, which was largely
attended by DR.. Trudeaus graduates
was held at the sanitarium. Among
the many gifts presented to DR.. Tru-
deau one of the most unique was a
large autograph volumn, containing
expressions Of appreciation and con-
graduation from hundreds of ex-pa-
tents.
The address made at the reception
recall the struggles of DR.. Trudeau,
and present one of the strangest chap
ters of history that has ever been
written, history full of discourage
ments and failures, yet abundantly
crowned with success, and, above all,
a history that tells of life brought
within reach of millions.
Thirty-seven years ago, Dr.. Tru-
| deau contracted tuberculosis of the
lungs just after entering upon what
promised to be a brilliant career in
medicine. Most of his colleagues and
! friends gave him up for lost, but re-
CARELESS of their warnings, he resolved
| to spend at least one summer and

| in the heart of virgin wilderness, for
! ty-tWo miles from a railroad and one
hundred miles from any center of cul-
ture. he lived for years. Into this re-
mote spot there penetrated in 1888 an
account of KOch's discovery of the
germ of tuberculosis. Before this
nope had been dead, but now wave
| Trudeaus mind, and he saw with the
imagination of all pioneers what the
future, with the identity of the foe at
last determined. might hold in store.
1t was this clear-sighted vision of the
future that started the campaign
against tuberculosis in America.
The obstacles which DR.. Trudeall
had to contend with were we'll nigh in
surmountable and would have discour-
aged almost any other man. When in
1883 he began his technical researches
following up the discoveries of DR..
Koch i'll Berlin, he says. Il had from
the first. many difficulties to contend
with; no health, no scientific training
no apparatus, no access to books. and
was situated forty-two miles from a
railroad in a primitive forest" In a
few short visits which he was able
to make to New York he studied the
elements of bacteriology The rest of
that highly specialized science, in
which he has become an expert and
an authority, he taught himself. His
laboratory was small room in his
house, and for the purpose of cultivat-
ing the tubercle bacillus in pure cul-
ture, he had to arrange series OF
boxes, one inside of the other, heated
with a kerosene lamp and regulated
by an improvised thermostat. In this
oven, however, he succeeded finally in

A MARION PASTOR
HELD ON ASSAULT
Taken to Piqua, Ohio, to An
sWer Charge of Abuse to
a Young Girl.
PREACHER MAKES DENIAL
cHiLD'S FOSTER MOTHER KNEW
OF FACTS BUT SAYS THAT SHE
FEARED TO EXPOSE MAN BE-
CAUSE OF HIS THREATS.

Piqua, O., Feb. "a sensation was
caused here when it became known
that the Rev James Thomas, a Chris
tian minister, whose home is in Mar
ion, Ind, but who had been located in
charge of gospel mission for several
months in Piqua, was wanted upon a
charge of assault upon little Ruth
Rumple, years old, the adopted
daughter of Mrs. Jennie S. Rumple
The little child had been adopted
when an infant from a Cincinnati chill
dren's home and it was an anonymous
letter to the home that brought r. F.
Longman, one of it's visitors, to Piqua
to investigate the charge and to de-
velop the fact, after examinations by
surgeons, that the girl had been as
saulted, not merely once, but repeated
1y.
Mrs. Rumple when confronted with
the fact admitted that she knew about
it, but said she was afraid of Thomas,
who, it appears. had threatened her,
after asking her to marry him.
Thomas, suspecting trouble and
learning that he was being watched,
went to Marion. There he was appre-
hended and arrested, being brought to
Piqua by Chief Gehle last night. He
will be prosecuted on a criminal
charge.
Thomas is more than 60 years old.
He has been married twice and has
survived both wives. A daughter lives
in the West. About twenty-five years
ago he was licensed to preach by the
