State tuberculosis Commit
tee Hits Bogey Held By
People Against Sanatoria.
BUILT ALL OVER The COUNTRY

Convincing proof that tuberculosis
sanatoria or hospitals are not a menace
to the health nor detriment to the
property Of those living near such in
stitutions is given in a pamphlet issued
today by The National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tubercu-
losis. In an extended study of the
subject the association has not been
able to find single instance where g
tuberculosis sanatorium has had an in
furious effect on the health of anyone
living near it, nor where it has had
any lasting effect upon property values.
The pamphlet, entitled "The Effect
of tuberculosis Institutions on the
Value and Desirability of Surrounding
Property reviews all the studies
made ON the subject, takes up court
decisions bearing on the question, and
contributes besides some original in
designations of typical hospitals, and
the opinions of prominent men, life in
surance companies, and others. Nearly
$50 different institutions are studied.
In all these institutions, not one case
could be found where the assertions of
opponents to their location, that tn
berculosis sanatorium would spread di-
sease and injure property, could be
substantiated. In fact, number of
instances were found where the pres
ence of the sanatorium or hospital pro-
noted outdoor living, tending to lower
the death rate, and increase the mar
ket for produce and labor, thereby
beneftting the community.
Among the most significant opinions
expressed are those by five of the
largest life insurance companies In the
United States. These companies were
asked if residence in tuberculosis
sanatorium by healthy individual was
considered an adverse factor in issu-
ing insurance and also if residence in
the neighborhood of sanatorium con-
stituted such an adverse factor. Two
of the companies answered the first
question in the affirmative and two in
the negative, but everyone of them
culosis sanatorium was not considered
an adverse factor in issuing life insur-
ance.
DR.. Edward L. Trudeau, who built
the first tuberculosis sanatorium in the
United States in 1885, says: .When
| i bought the first land on which the
Adirondack Cottage Sanatorium IS
built, l paid $25 an acre for it, but the
price was then thought absurdly high.
My last purchase of five acres cost me
$4,000. To my knowledge, there has
never been an employee who came to
| the sanatorium in sound health who
developed tuberculosis while there; and
a sanatorium can no more endanger the
health of the neighborhood in which it
is built, even if the residences are at
its very gates, than it could if it were
placed on top of high mountain miles
away from habitation. =

the issues are involved, and he as
sures Mr.. Hepperlee and Mr.. Johnson
that he will submit the matter TO
congress for consideration at the
present session. The attention of the
congressional representatives of the
state interested was called to the sit
u%ation. and they assured the South
Dakota representatives that they
would push the issue along.
They also in company with Con-
gresham Burke called at the Indian
department 10 look into the matter of
Indian land leases in Mellette coun-
Is. The state holds a number of
tracts in that county, but since the
lease prices on the Indian pastures in
that county have been placed at so
high a rate that stockmen will not
lease the Indian lands, there Is no
demand for the state sections. The
proposition being that if the Indian
leases are reduced TO a point where
stockmen will consider them. the
state tracts in the same territory can
be leased.
Commissioner Hepperlee also had
business with the surveyor general
department and with the bureau of
the reclamation service.

Geddes. Dec. 23.-Great interest is
being manifested here in the coming
trial of Robert Brooks for the muir

room available in the town is being
prepared TO take care of the big at
tendance that is expected. A large
number of these rooms were engaged
weeks ago.

cattle for the second day of the week
were moderate. estimated at 1900,
as against 4,327 a week z and 922
the corresponding day a year ago.
Continued light supplies at east
ern centers and only moderate runs
at river markets served TO strengthen
sellers position and as a result of a
good active demand fat cattle rates
were given another substantial boost
mostly 10 cents higher than yester-
dayor the market is quoted in the
n~eighborhood of Is 25c higher than
at the close of last week.
Brisk movement characterized
trading on stock cattle and prices
were quoted strong to a dime higher
than on yesterday. Despite the fact
that there is TO be a holiday this week
the undertone to the trade is healthy
and the inquiry from the country Is
keeping ace with the supplies ar
irving.
Hog rates were boosted a dime.
Cause for the sharp bulge was due
tc the activity of the shippers on the
local market. Tops went at $40,

OFT OF RACE
Gus Helgerson Declines Position On
Charities Board.

Pierre, Dec. 23.-Word reaches
here that Senator Gus Helgerson of
Dawson county has asked his friends
not to urge his appointment on the
board of charities and corrections. 1t
has been known for weeks that scores
OF Helgerson's friends were asking
that he be named. Helgerson states
that circumstances have arisen which
would prevent him giving all of his
time to the position and that he feels
that he owes II to his business not
to accept the place if it was offered
him. This reduces the twenty-eight
applications for a job on that board.
without doubt, Warren Green of
Hazel will be named for one of the
two vacancies. He is now serving
his first term. Two of the applicants
are from the Black Hills which al
ready has one member of the board.
Another board which is popular
with those who aspire to serve the
state is the board of regents. There
are a number of applications already
on file and the vacancies do not oc-
cur until March. Regents Hitchcock
of Mitchell and Dwight of Sioux Falls
are the members whose terms expire.

made here by the c. & N. w. super

Engineer Gardner b. Splitter, who
left here a week ago Sunday for

OF this month. On the 18th the
young oma he was to marry wrote

and his father and brother were here
Sunday, looking into the matter, In

than Aberdeen. where he left the c..

have taken the train for Crandall
early that evening. Great a%pprehen-

a house here and made all arrange

his honeymoon. and those who knew
him best can explain his disappear
ance only by foul play.
A letter was found in Mr.. Split

BAD AIR II GOOD
Theory That Poor Ventilation IL Bad
for Health l. Exploded.

New York, Dec. 23.-As a result of
a years experiment upon students of
a New York university by ventilation
experts in an experimental air cham
Der, so called bad air" has received
scientific endorsement. According to
the reports of the investigators which
have just been issued. stagnant air
at the same temperature as fresh air,
even when il contains twenty or more
parts Of carbon dioxide and all the
organic and other substances in
breathed air of occupied rooms. has
no effect on any of the physiological
responses or on the power or inclina-
ton to do physical or mental work,
nor on the sensations or comforts of
the subjects breathing It,. According
to the experts's conclusions, the only
i'll effect of stagnant air is a loss OF
appetite. The old notion that an ex-
cess of carbon dioxide in a room
made it an unhealthful place TO live
in was knocked flat when the COM
mittee of scientists sealed up its ex-
perimental chamber and kept a num-
Der of students at work inside for
hours at a stretch. The results were
carefully noted. and compared with
those obtained when a stream of
fresh air was being let in at the rate
of forty-fve cubic feet per minute for
each man inside. At the end of the
day the proportion of carbon dioxide
was always more than 20 parts to
1000 which is far higher than many
authorities formerly believed TO be
safe. Nevertheless the students did
their work without complaining and
no injurious effects were observed.

Dental Surgeon i'm Indian Service
Demolishes Another Tradition
al Fallacy.

Tucson, Ariz., Dec. 23.-The fine
white glistening teeth of the primi-
tive savage are a myth, according to
DR.. Fernando Z. Rodriguez. dental
surgeon at large on the Indian serv-
Ice. who was attending to the tooth
aches of the Papagoes during the
past week. He finds that the teeth
of the young Indians, who have had
Instruction at the government schools
In their care, are in better condition
than those of their elders, who knew
nothing of tooth powders and
brushes.
However, he gives the primitive
red man credit for stoicism.
The older Indians bear the treat
ment stoically," DR.. Rodriguez says,
but the younger Indians are a good
deal like white children and make
quite a fuss. Sometimes a whole
school will be emptied if the children
hear that the dentist is coming"
DR.. Rodriguez fills cavities and
cleans the teeth of his patients, and
also treats assesses and other bad
cases of tooth trouble, but he does
not attempt to do bridge work or put
on crowns. The government regards
this as too expensive and if a tooth is
bad il is pulled. The work for the
Indians is all free.
There are just sever dentists in
the Indian service and DR.. Rodriguez
is the last one appointed. He is from
W ashington, ID. c. Mrs. Rodriguez
i accompanying him on his trips.
Scientists have discovered that
poor teeth are responsible for a great
many diseases" DR.. Rodriguez says.
The mouth contains numerous
germs and according to the work of
psychologists at least half of these
germs age tubercular germs. The
older Indians also suffer from pyor-
rhea. a disease in which the gums are
lOosened and pus is formed at the
base of the teeth. They swallow this
pus and it cause stomach trouble
and rheumatism"

This II What state Penitentiary AH-
thorities Will Ask Legisla-
ture to DO.

Sioux Falls, Dec. 23.-About a
score of the members-elect OF the
coming legislature were in Sioux
Falls Saturday and they all visited
the state penitentiary and were
shown through that building, with a
view OF posting themselves so that
they car act understandingiy when
certain measures come up this win
ter which will affect this institution.
Through the action of the last leg
islature In voting TO discontinue the
practice of renting out the services of
the inmates of the ~penitentiary for
the manufacture of shirts the MEM
bers of the board of charities and
corrections find themselves face TO
face with a theory that is most per-
picking.
The close OF the shirt factory will
throw out of employment fifty hands
The recently acquired "penitentiary'
farm will at the most not require the
services of more than twenty men,
and a good share of the time one-half
that number will perform the work
on the farm. This will leave on the
hands OF the p~enitentiary officials
from thirty to forty men.
No matter what the crime was that
brought these u~nfortunates into their
present position practically every one
Of them prefers to do some sort OF
work to being closed up in the peni-
Tertiary all the time.
The members OF the board of char
tiles and corrections have hit on a
plan that will find work for the men
turned out OF employment through
the closing down OF the shirt factory,
and at the same time their scheme
will bring better returns to the state
than is now secured from the shirt
deal.
The Irvine factory at the peniten,
tiary now produces about one-tenth
OF the binding Irvine consumed in the
state of South Dakota. The board oil
