The first thing that attracts one
attention is the contrast between tw
bedrooms, both completely furnished
but one close, dark and dirty and th
other clean, light and airy. The

D shows very emphatlcally that thi
disease prevails especially in larg,
centers of population and in low we
localities. People generally express
surprise that so many deaths really
occur in this state from tuberculosis
deaths Of which one never hears
or knows about right in their own
community. OF the notices and
charts which completely cover two
sides of the room, some Of those that
attract people most are those which
state "How to Prevent Smallpox?
Vaccinate" Vaccination is no more
dangerous than trimming a corn"
"Whooping cough kills more of the
children of Kansas than measles,
smallpox and scarlet fever combined"
Consumption is spread by the care

fly paper" picture of mother ig-
norantly giving her babe consumption
and an oil painting by Reid represent

deeply impresses the dangers Turk

contact with all classes and degrees
of people--clean or dirty-well or
sick alike.

'eniences from choice as for the In
aid using them from necessity. {

the opportunity given after the Pill
