section alone, where there Is nuihoei
OF industrial enterprises, over $40 acres
were mapped This section is bounded py

Anticipating commercial needs In that
district provisions were made by the lay

the property The width of Jackson ave

The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1913-04-24

The lecture was full of compari-
sons and exhibited in a proficient
! manner the methods adopted in
former times and those which are
being adopted today, and it was fully
demonstrated that the enlightened
physician seeks to prevent his people
from becoming i'll, and the guard
ians of the public health should be
able to forestall all emergencies,
whose pecuniary expense in money
expended and wasted in trade para
lyzed and diverted, in labor and it's
wages lost by the sick, terrified and
dead, in a single epidemic. exceeds
that of maintaining an efficient sani-
tary service for the whole country
for whole year.
tuberculosis was given its share
of attention and the audience was
impressed with the fact that the con-
sumptive whose traits no profession
al acumen is required to recognize,
frequents our thoroughfares, sits be-
side us in unventilatel street cars
and at hotel tables, occupies Pull
man sleeping berths, shares the
steamboat stateroom, wholly unre-
strained and innocently ignorant
that he or she may be sowing the
seeds of disease among delicate wo-
men and children. This, DR.. Sumner
said, can be fully verified if one uses
his eyes for tho purpose along the
railway and coastwise steamer
routes to our invalid resorts. Much
stress was placed upon the berths
of sleeping cars where it was shown
that while there was complete
change of linen including sheets and
pillow cases, but there was no
change of blankets, mattresses or pill
lows, and in many instances a berth
would be occupied at night, when the
same berth might have been occu-
pied by consumptive who was scat
tering a disease germ far more ten
acious of life and power OF evil do
ing than that of the dreaded cholera.
The people of Leon were given an
Illustration of crowded street car
on a winter day, when DR.. Sumner
spoke of the clouds of respiratory
steam circling from the mouths and
nostrils of the unclean and diseased
into the mouths of the clean and
healthy, as the exploratory effort of
one corresponds to the respiratory
act Of the other, and to quote the
speakers language, he said: The
road is short but straight and sure
from the disease to the receptive
parts in another's body, and who
that has been forced upon him an
areal feast Of cabbage, onions, garlic,
tobacco, alcohol and gastric efnuvia
of an old drunkard can doubt that
the aqueous vapor can transport
microscopic germs by the same
route. ,'sl
The abpminable things seen ia

the streets, the alleys and the back
yards were cited as examples or hlth
seen in most cities and towns, and
these should be examined with our
eyes and removed instead OF looking
so much through microscopes. Micro
scopes are very useful and can be US
ed with great advantage in discover
ing disease germs, but the things
that are so apparent that can De
seen if but a glance is taken should
receive the attention of the health
officer or sanitarian, not once a
month, nor once week, but daily.
The city should be kept clean at all
times.
In concluding his lecture attention
was called to the virulent communi-
cable diseases which have done more
to harm mankind than all the dlph-
liberia, typhoid, smallpox, measles
and scarlet fever combined, which
are so carefully isolated, and their
statistics so regularly collected and
promulgated. He referred to the
disease, syphilis, which travels with
the missionary to Asia, Africa and
the Pacific and decimates bodies last
er than he could whiten souls. The
eyes of the people arc becoming
opened to the facts that preventative
measures should be speedily adopted
in order that we may become bet
ter people, mentally, morally and
physically.
The concluding remarks were that
every city should undergo a cleaning
often, and the thought uppermost
was that all refuse matter IN any
city should be cremated, and that
dumping grounds were pest houses
for the Matching of germs and fur
nished place where flies congregate
and become the disseminators OF
disease. No city should be accounted
clean until the ordinances require
every cellar door to be widely open
ed to the sun and air, that royal pair
of germicides; every cellar to be
emptied of its refuse, every cellar
wall and ceiling to be scraped and
whitewashed, every cellar floor to be
taken up if rotten and sprlnkled
with lime if uncovered, a tedious and
expensive process, but effective pre-
,yention, costly as it must be, is cheap
beside the outlay of a single epldem-
ic. Attention was called to fruit
stands uncovered on street corners,
bakers wagons with their contents
unprotected from the. dust and filth
of the streets, and waiting stations
whose filth was so gross that it beg
CARED description. The quotation CIV
en- from the writings of John w. Al
word concluded the address:
THE charm of life, that which
gives it its zest and meaning. is to-
az useful work for our time, our
place and our generation; to realize
that We are needed in the progress

Waterloo, Iowa.-What the circu-
lation of a saloon consent petition
does to some cities in Iowa is we'll
illustrated in facts that are develop
ing in the trial to determine whether
the petition recently circulated here
is legal. The testimony shows to
what length people will go when the
liquor question is an issue.
One man, A. E. Speicher by name,
testified on the witness stand that
he was locked into drug store and
not allowed to leave until he had
signed his name to the petition of
consent. He testified, also, that
after it had became known that he
had signed the petition, church folks
got after him and compelled him to
sign a withdrawal. According to his
testimony, they used just as success
full coercive means as the other side.
Others are testifying as to undue
pressure brought to bear upon them
to sign the petition and afterwards
to sign a withdrawal. 1t has been
proven that names were forged to
the petitions of consent and also to
withdrawals. And it is by method
that will allow such blackmail fraud
and intimidation as this that a COM
munity must settle a great moral
question That the people of Iowa
will awake to the terrible deficiency
of the present law there is no doubt,
but how long must such suffering
communities as Waterloo and Ottum-
wa wait?

Coughs and CONSUMPTION.

Coughs and colds when neglected,
always lead to serious trouble of the
lungs. The wisest thing to do when
you have cold that troubles you
is to get a bottle of DR.. King New
Discovery. You will find great relief
from the first dose, and finally the
cough will disappear. o. H. Brown,
of Muscadine, Ala, writes. 'My
