HOW TO COMBAT DISEASE
Teaching Of Sanitary Ideas Among
Indians Is a Problem for Gov
eminent Agents.

DR. John n. Alley, superintendent OF
the United States sanitarium for Indi-
ans at Fort Lapwai, Idaho, says he is
convinced, after a study of the causes
Of death among the Nez Perces Indians
for the last ten years, that 80 per cent
of all the deaths are due directly or
indirectly to tuberculosis. In the hun
dred years that have elapsed since the
historic expedition Of Lewis and
Clarke TO the Northwest, the Nez
Perces tribe has diminished from s.
900 to 300. The present tuberculosis
death rate is about 40 per thousand liv-
ing or two and one-half times the rate
in the United States as a whole. Doc
tor Alley traces the cause of the de-
cimation to the change in the mode of
living of the Indians from the open air
life of the plains to the sedentary, set
tied life Of the reservation. The lat
ter has brought with it the danger Of
house infection which was automatic
ally eliminated in the earlier days.
Ventilation" says Doctor Alley, lis
completely foreign to an Indians ma
ture. 1t is with great difficulty that
you can get them to pay any heed to
this important part of sanitation. l
have known twenty or thirty to gather
in a small room where an advanced
case of tuberculosis has been housed
for months, and to close all the doors
and windows. even plugging up the
keyholes."
In a recent report Of the ONCE OF In
dian affairs, Commissioner Sells points
out that there are approximately $4,000
Indians in the United States suffering
from tuberculosis, and that the avail
able government facilities for their
care will not exceed 800 beds.
