COUNTY MUST CARE
FOR CONSUME TNES
State Law Shifts Burden Of Care Of
tuberculosis Among the Poor
to the Super
visors.
TO PREVENT IT'S SPREAD
Few Cities In the State But Have In
Fss dlsent Persons Suffering From
ss the Dreaded
Disease.

Very soon after having a big job
thrust on their shoulders in the Sc
lection and maintenance of county
road system, the Lee county board
of supervisors have recently discov-
cred that they have a task in the
form of providing for the case of the
poor tubercular patients of the coun-
ty.
The whole responsibility for the
care and treatment of indigen+ per-
sons suffering with pulmonary tuber-
sulosis is now squarely placed upon
county boards of supervisors. This
was accomplished when last winter
the legislature enacted law by
which boards of supervisors were
authorized to make adequate pro
vision for the care and treatment OF
persons suffering with this disease
1t is recognized that hospital care
of this class of individuals is the on
lily proper method by which to con

Election. The people are thorough.
aroused to this necessity and are de
manding of the non-invested witt
this responsibility that something b
done.
The law is plain. 1t authorize
county boards to either provide hos
pitfalls or to arrange with institution
already in operation for the prope
care of tuberculosis sick. Boards ma
expend $500 per week per patien
SO treated. The law is regarded a
most tenefcent and everywhere
well-informed people are demandin
that supervisors shall examine care
| fully into the question. A cursor
investigation reveals the fact tina
there are few cities in the stat
which do not have number of at
vanced consumptives who need in
mediate care. They are menace t

demands that they shall be properl

turned turtle and fell into the waters
O. the Thames estuary, but a few
hours later he surprised friends and
watchers on shore by appearing
among them very wet but otherwise
none the worse for his experience
Fairbanks regarded his escape as al
most miraculous. When the plane fel

Tales Of Fiction Hardly Equal That

Petition He
Filed.

rs
Tales Of cruelty on the high seas
told in fiction hardly equal that told by
James L. Edwards, in his petition filed
in the superior court in which he asks
$4,000 OF the steamboat G. w. Hill.
He says he entered into contract
with the Wabash railroad agent OF the
G. w. Hill to carry him safely from
Quincy, Ill, to Keokuk and return. Ed
wards boarded the boat at Quincy.
In violation of this contract he de-
clares that members of the crew we're
allowed to assault, beat and strike
him and throw him down into the hold
of The boat which was foul, filthy nau-
seating and dangerous where he was
compelled to remain for three hours
In addition to the foul smelling odors
and stencil and filth he was surround
ed with escai ,.g steam which nearly
suffocated and blinded him until al
times he dispa ired of his life.
He claims he tried to get cut, believ
ing he would die If he remained there
and after crying for help he tried t.
break down the door. He says this
effort only brought further torment
insult and inl' man treatment from
his captors and that when the boa
reached Keokuk he was forcibly eject
ed from the boat.
He declares he has sustained perma
nent injuries by the treatment and de
mands $4,000 damages.
A warrant OF seizure for the boa
was Or cred and it will be served herd
Bond will probably be given by the
boatmen.

Every auto vehicle should be equipped
with head lights of sufficient power to

are occurring far to often. Seems to
