CHRISTMAS eve
IN POVERTY ROW

'EE% WAS the night before Christmas,
and all through the street
v Swept the cold wintry blast and
Il the fast falling sleet.
No voice of kind greeting the grim
silence broke
From rooftop and chimney there issued
no smoke.
No window was red with the fires warm
glare;
No odor of garlands was borne on the air Z.
No shop where the splendor and blaze of
the light
Shone out on the gloom of that chill win
ters night.
There was darkness above, there was
darkness below,
On the night before Christmas in Poverty
For warmth, light and comfort. alas. there
was not
In the sheiterless homes of that desslate
spot,
Where the storm and the wind might en-
ter and roar
Through broken down window or half
fallen door!
No children who lived In that poor.
wretched place
Could you find with bright and sun.
shiny face
No stockings were hung there; no glad
ness or mirth
Could be found on the eve of the good
Saviour's birth.
No carols were sung in that region OF woe

From Press Bureau. Board of Con
troll of State Institutions, De-
partment on tuberculosis.

The indications are that the 35th
General Assembly Of Iowa, which con
venes about the middle of January,
. will devote much time to matters per
tanning to social questions, especial
ly those relating to public health.
The general education OF the pub
lie on the prevention of tuberculosis
has served to arouse the entire state
TO the Importance of preventive medi-
cine. Everywhere thoughtful men ano
women are devoting much attention
to a study of those conditions which
produce disease, vice and crime.
1t is we'll established fact now
that tuberculosis is preventable and
that it is inexcusable for a state to
tolerate an appalling death toll from
this disease. 1t has also been ascer-
tanned that the same conditions which
produce tuberculosis are conductive &c
typhoid fever, pneumonia and the
whole foul brood OF social disorders.
Bad housing, over worked and under
waged men and women, over-croWd-
ing in insanitary tenements, children
under-fed and illy-clothed, unprotected
city water supplies and insanitation
in general are held responsible, for
many of the social ills from which
we now suffer.
To devise laws by which to remedy
these conditions will occupy much of
the time of some of the most pro-
gressiye leaders in both branches or
the legislature. Some of the meas
ures which no doubt will be proposed
will bear directly upon the tuberculos-
is problem. The need for tubercu!os-
is hospitals in some of the counties
with the heaviest population is imper-
alive and no doubt measures will be
proposed to bring relief. There Will
be q general tendency toward health
administration work in the state. The
people Of Iowa have learned that the
men, women and children are OF the
utmost financial Importance in the
building up Of the commonwealth.
ITO protect health and life," will be
the slogan of the 35th General AS
sembly.

In its treatment of the subjects
that affect the welfare of the farmer
