PROMINENT MEN ON
THE PROGRAM
Dr. Hill Outlined County Sanatorium
Proposition-Project Up to the
County Fathers.

The Marshall County Anti-Tuber
culosis Association held it's annual
meeting in the form of a picnic in
Peter Lindquist's grove near Viking,
last Friday The day was good
one and quite a crowd of people
awaited themselves of this opportuni-
W Tor an outing. The time of the
year was quite unfavorable to the
farmers for they are just busy with
haylng so not many country folks
We're present, but the towns were
well represented
Program of Speeches and Music.
The program in the afternoon was
featured by it's enthusiasm and good
spirit. DR.. Hill of the State Public
Health League gave the first address.
lie has long been prominent figure
In the work of combating infectious
diseases in this state, having travell-
eel IN all parts, affecting organiza-
tlons which assist in the work of
stamping out disease in the various
localities. He characterized tuber-
culosls, explaining the nature of the
disease and methods of fighting it. 1t
is not hereditary but spreads from
open cases which are permitted to re-
main abroad without proper caution.
Blot out these open cases where they
exist and the disease may be stamped
out. The solution of the problem is
the sanatorium. Marshall county was
one Of the first counties to take up
the war against the disease, but it
has been conducted only along educa-
tionals lines.
Financial Side Simple.
Marshall County has population
of approximately II 600; in order to
efficiently care for all cases it is gen
orally figured that a sanitorium
should have one bed for each thou
sand people. Thus it would be neces-
sary to erect an establishment of
from II to 20 beds. The initial cost
per bed is about $1,000, making the
total cost $2O,OOO Of this amount
the state pays one-half and practic-
ally half the cost of maintenance
The county has already $4,000 avail
able thus leaving only $4,000 to be
raised which could be collected BY
means of three-quarter mill levy.
State Expenditures for Health Small.
In conclusion DIR. Hill brought out
that the states's expenditures for the
cause of human health is very insig-
nifcant as compared with the amount
spent for stamping out disease in
cattle. Thousands of dollars have
been expended for the purpose of
blotting out cholera in hogs, while
hardly anything has been done for
human health.
DIR. Bratrud Speaks.
DIR. Theo. Bratrud was called on for
impromptu remarks in which he voic-
ed his hearty commentator of the
plans proposed by DIR. Hill. He urg-
ed everybody to get up and do some
thing and not to delay any longer.
DIR. ]. S. Carlson.
DR.. Carlson, field manager for the
North Star College, gave one of his
usual rousing addresses. His speech
on human happiness, was along gen
eral lines but was specially appropri-
ate to the occasion. Try to make life
as happy as possible, make it veri-
table picnic instead of heap Of
troubles.
Miss Rankin Speaks for Public
Schools.
Miss Elizabeth Rankin in well
prepared address showed forth the
progress made by the rural schools in
the study of hygiene and along lines
of general sanitation.
Judge Grindeland Enthusiastic.
The last speaker was Judge Grin
deland who in one of his usual entllu-
siastic addresses urged immediate ac-
tion in the erection Of a county san
atorium. He proposed that dem
onstration by the ladies be made be-
fore the county commissioners to in
duce them to make the levy which
will solve the situation.
Music for the entire program was
furnished by ladies' quartette con-
s;stinp of Florence Anderson, Estelle
Crindeland, Lucille Farrell and Ebba
Lundgren.

The business session was brief and
snannv. 1t was decided to continue
the organization, but that it no long
or 90 under the name of Anti -Tuber-
c,,losis Association, but be known as
