Resolutions strongly urging the
commissioners Of Blue Earth county
to take the necessary steps leading
to the construction and maintenance
of tuberculosis sanatorium for this
county were unanimously adopted at
an enthusiastic mass meeting held
in the Mankato Theatre, last night.
More than 500 citizens from every
section of the county were in at
tendance at the meeting. 1t was a
women who have been long promi'
nently identified with the movement
to establish in this county a haven
for those who are or may in time
come to be afflicted with the white
plague. The necessity of sanatori
um was made apparent in the argu
ments that were brought to the
front by the several speakers who
eloquently and earnestly addressed
the meeting. One of the more weigh
ty of the many arguments which
were advanced was that which deal
with the economic side of the prop
osition not to mention the con
servation of human life. 1t was dem
onstrated that the construction of {
sanatorium meant the saving of thou
sands of dollars to the people o
this county and also such an institu
ton would prove to be an invaluable
aid in the heroic fight that is beini
waged against the dread disease tina

Mayor A. G. Meyer expressed his
regret that the audience was so small
when so important a topic was to
come up for discussion. 'The people
as a whole should take an interest
in this proposition in order to make
it a success" said he. Look what
the ladies did on tag day. They were
all very much interested, and all
took part in making their plan of
raising money to employ a visiting
nurse a success. And it was a
splendid success, and want to take
this opportunity to thank the ladies
for the great benefit they have given
to the city of Mankato. The visiting
nurse is a good thing toward the
suppression of tuberculosis, but the
that this institution in the first place
should be built near at hand so that
those who cannot afford to go to the
state sanatorium at Walker may still
have the advantage of the latest dis
coveries in regard to the prevention
and cure of this dread disease Man
kato certainly is the place for this
institution as it is in the center of
three counties, Nicollet, Blue Earth
and lie Sueur.
Mankato Is Roasted.
DR.. Ira Bishop of Mapleton roast
ed" MankatO for not taking more in
terest in the proposition to build a
sanatorium, and he bewailed the
small audience which was gathered
to listen to the speeches. He COM
plimented Dr. Andrews and the COM
| mittee for their strenuous and sue
cessful efforts in securing every pos
sible item of data which related to
the investigation of the proposition.
"MankatO ought to, wake up" said
DR.. Bishop, land if you people are
not willing to take this matter in
hand, give it to us. I'll guarantee
that Wen rouse interest enough in
it at Mapleton. People who have
tuberculosis ought to have some
place to go and which is not far
away from their homes, where they
may be trained to take care OF
themselves and cure their affliction
The training is very essential In
fact there is more in giving the pa
! tient the proper training than in
anything else. At Walker the PEG
pie are trained in to do things thai
are conducive to good health anG
which counterfeit the germs of tuber
culosis. | have had people come te
be and ask me to do something fol
tuberculosis, and have prescribed
for them to the best of my ability
and so have the rest of the doctors
and without any results We hav.
sent them to Colorado because VIZ
did not know what else to do will
them. They received the sam,
training that We could give then
here, and some of them, in the les
advanced stages of the disease go
: well. The building ought to b,
built on hill, where there i
plenty of fresh air and there ar
plenty of sites right here in Man
kato on which to build it. Som
I people can't go to Walker Some o
! them cannot afford to go, and som
of them just simply can't break tn

children who have the possibilities OF
the disease in wiping it out.
Tuberculosis is no respector OF
persons. All classes of people have

try people. In Minnesota with its
healthful climate, sixty per cent of
the deaths from tuberculosis occur
in other counties than those having
the three largest cities.
81 want to emphasize that the dis
ease is curable It's durability de-
ponds largely upon its discovery in
the early stages. A person should
believe thoroughly in the durability
of 1t.
1T is Impossible to estimate the
cost In human life and suffering of
the disease But in dollars and cents
its cost is awful. In the United
States 1t has been estimated and
lconservatively estimated, that each
year the country loses 81 235,OO0,000
| from the disease. In Minnesota the
average number of deaths in year
( is 2,G90, and the number of deaths
in Blue Earth county each year is
Twenty-Five. The cost to the county
is $3.50 1000 Do you think it would
pay to have $4,000 institution to
help stamp out tuberculosis?
Disease is Durable.
Il want to emphasize that the dis
ease is durable. We are proud OF
our state but we are behind the times
in the fight against tuberculosis un-
! til now, but now we are in the fore
| front of the fight In the last SEES
sion of the state legislature $500,009
was put in the treasury for use of the
counties who must first raise an mi
tial amount. The death rate has been
reduced one-half in some foreign
countries within fifteen years, and il
we could reduce the death rate in
! Minnesota one-balf in fifteen years
when it now costs the county $3.50
900 annually would it not be gooC
| investment?
I'VE must cure the durable cases
and we must get the cases early
We must isolate the infectious cases
those that are in the later stages
Let us remember that tuberculosis:
in not hereditary and that it is cur
able if it is taken in time, and tina
i it can be cured more surely and cas-
lily in an institution.

Rescue Orphanage.

When my father and mother forsake
me the Lord will take me up.-Psalm
xxvii:10.
To meet condition existing in
this State, the Legislature, in 1911
passed an "act to provide for the
custody of destitute, abandoned and
unprotected children" Under the
authority of this law the institution
known as Rescue Orphanage of South
Carolina at Columbia is now at work
with the praiseworthy object in
view to rescue children who are il
legitimate or destitute. and being
reared in immoral or vicious sur
roundings, and to care for, train and
equip them for useful life.
This institution does not interfere
with, or conflict with the work of
any denominational orphanage, but
is planned to meet the need of those
who do not fall within any of the
classes now provided for by our
church or fraternal orphanages.
The orphanage is situated one-half
mile from Columbia, consists of a
