MOVEMENT FOR
HOSPITAL CARE
Importance Of Proper Care of Advanc-
ed Cases Of tuberculosis Is Being
Realized.

DIES MONIES, March PA gener-s
al movement toward the adequate
care and treatment of advanced con-
sumptives is gradually assuming form
throughout the state of Iowa. 1t is
coming to be recognized by commune
ties in general that the advanced con-
sumptive when properly cared for is
not dangerous. On the other hand, it
is also fully realized that if the adj
vanced consumptive is neglected he
becomes very great source OF danger
to the entire community and intelli-
gent measures for the proper control
OF INDECENT cases of tuberculosis are
of the state. Inquiries are constantly
reaching the department of tubercu-
losis with reference to institutions for
the care and treatment of persons suf-
fering with this malady and it may be
presumed thar within a reasonably
short time the people will be demand
ing adequate provision shall be
made for that large hopeless class OF
INDECENT persons who are afflicted.
The facilities at present available
for: the care and treatment of tuber-
culosis are very Inadequate. The
state institution at Oakdale takes
care of incipient cases only and can
when running at full capacity handle
140 cases. Boulder Ledge, a private
institution at Fort Dodge, takes care
of selected cases and has capacity
of 20, and is admirably adapted for
this purpose. Ridge Camp which is
operated in connection with the As
ISOLATED Charities of Des Moines,
cares especially for advanced cases
and has a variable capacity. This in.
stitution makes provision for persons
