The vexing problem of what TO do with

Monday. Under the law the county pays

So far as has been determined. leprosy
is an Incurable, Infectious disease The
city will probably Insist that so long as
Gra BILE is in the city he shall be confined
in the isolation hospital and that the
county shall pay the expense OF keeping
him there. AS the case is undoubtedly
incurabe, 1t would seem that the lepef
will remain a perpetual charge against
the county. Cases of leprosy are fre-
quently OF long duration and lepers have
6een known to live TO an advanced age.

Now give to pigs and cows building rare.
For goods claims they have earthly
Demands Of women hold with them right
What need of home for learned students far9
The College Girls they leave in sorry plight
Perhaps the hoofed beasts more refined

They give TO pigs and building rare,
But let the ladies bravely stand and dare
The wintry blasts, the bitter frosty night,
Protect themselves-search lodgings elsewhere
The College Girls they leave in sorry plight!
Has lost respect for womanknd?
That Shiny, filthy, grunng swine compare
More needy-hence with treatment far kind
They give the pigs and building rare!
Must womans rights fade dim dispair7
Will no brave souls resent this surrng slight?
Some thousands given to show the stock at fair
While College Girls they leave in sorry plight!

Who give the pigs and building rare
Then pull the budget purse strings closed so tight

Patient Comfortable.

Officially the question OF paying for q
permanent home for the lcper at the city
isolation hospital has not yet come before
the county commissioners but the mem
bers OF the board have discussed the case
informally and have expressed themselves
as very puzzled To know what to do.
The situation might be greatly relieved
II the leper should escape from the iso-
lation hospital and go to some other state
where Others might have TO solve the
same problem that now confronts the
commissioners. However. Cradle is very
satisfied at the isolation hospital and de-
clares that he will be glad to remain
there. He Is We'll treated and has COM
Portable quarters.
The problem OF what TO do with the
leper Is complicated by the fact that the
city IS considering the adrisa ability OF
closing the Isolation hospital and the
county is planning TO maintain an iso-
lation hospital in connection with the
county infrmary. Should the city decide
to close It's isolation hospital before the
county decides to open It's isolation hos
pital, there would be ieper without a
home and city board Of health and a
county board of commissioners with a
problem to solve even more veXing than
the one which now confronts them.

Parallel Case.

The leper problem is not new to the
city and county. Two and one-balf years
ago the city board of health found John
kokus. Greek. afflicted with leprosy,
and sent him To the Isolation hospital.
After he had been there three weeks
the city submitted bill to the county
commissioners for the expense OF car
ing for him.
The county commissioners decided that
leprosy was not contagious and refused
TO allow the bill. 'rhereupon the board
OF health brought the leper in from the
isolation hospital and took him before the

contagious disease he was certainly q
