FAVORS REFORM
AMONG LAWYERS
Judge M. J. Wade Approves Of Attor-
neys When Quitting Practice
Dropping From Bar.

Des MONIES, Jan. 25.-(Special.)-
Judge M. J. Wade, while in supreme
court the other day listening to argu-
ments in a disbarment case, advanced
the idea that it should be provided
that when a lawyer drops out of active
practice it should operate automat-
ically to disbar him, or in other words
unless lawyer really practices law
he ceases to have his rights at the
bar. He states that there would be
less occasion for criticism of the law
yers and the bar If all who have
really ceased to practice law in a gen
eral way should be dropped from the
rolls as lawyers. Whether any such
refor:n will be attempted is not known
but the idea appeals strongly to the
lawyers.

MINIS SCHEME.

| Washington, D. O., Jan. 49,"
wouldn't vote to put any limitation up

Such is the comment Of Congress

IN GOOD HEAL tn
EXAMINATIONS CONDUCTED At
The STATE UNIVERSITY TO
ERADICATE DISEASE,

Iowa City, Jan. DETERMINATIONS
tending to promote. good health and
prevent disease among the citizens
OF Iowa exceeded all former records
| during October, November and De-
cember, according to the quarterly re-
port of DR.. Henry Albert of the BAG.
Psychological laboratory of the state
board Of health located at the state
university of Iowa.
During the past three months more
examinations were made in the labora-
tory than during any previous quarter.
Exactly 6,638 examinations were reg
istered and preventive treatments
bact> biologist, Dr. Albert. Over 5000
examinations were made for diphtheria
alone. OF this number 1,458 were to
aid physicians in the diagnosis Of the
disease, the remainder determining
whether persons should be released
from quarantine.
Vaccination for typhoid fever in.
creased In popularity during the quar-
ter. Exactly % persons took the three
injections Of vaccine.
The Pasteur treatment was admin
istered to three persons, the treatment
of each person consisting Of twenty
five doses. In none of the cases did
hydrophobia subsequently develop.
The laboratory performed most eft.
fectively in preventing epidemics. An
investigation of the typhoid epidemic
last summer and fall at Fort Dodge,
which affected almost a hundred per-
sons, was stopped within a compare
lively short time. The source Of the
infection was located and recommend
atoms relative to overcoming Of the
epidemic and a prevention of a recur-
renee were given.
Under the direction Of the laboratory
several physicians were aided in Wa
terloo and VintoI. in the finding Of
carriers" of diphtheria germs. 1t has
been recently shown that epidemics of
diphtheria are continued by persons
carrying germs in their throat, but
who are themselves at the time not
affected with the disease. They are
called Carriers The isolation Of
these carriers" has promptly caused
the epidemics to cease in several
schools.
Almost 700 examinations were made
to determine the presence of consump-
ton. OF this number only ninety-nine
specimens were found to contain tu-
bercle bacilli.
Miscellaneous examinations were
made, including 101 examinations Of
water, % of rabies and 1879 of unclassi.
fed specimens.
