UP TO The STATE
Provision for tuberculosis Pa
tients Wholly Inadequate.
There Is No Where for Incur
able Cases to Go.

In an effort to find out what the
state of Kansas is going to do with
incurable cases of tuberculosis, Fred
Burris, county poor commissioner from
Wichita, came to Topeka today to con-
Ter with members of the state board
of control
Commissioner Burris reported that
there were twelve county charges at
Wichita infected with the disease and
that the county was keeping these
people in tents in various parts OF the
city.
county is a state institution to take
care of these cases. said Mr. BurrIs,
this morning. THE problem of caring
for incurable patients would be solved
If the state could build a SanltarluH
or hospital and allow each county TO
pay the per capita cost of the patients
it sends to the institution"
The present law in the state pro-
vides for the care of incipient cases
only and the institution at Norton,
Kan, was built for this purpose In
a report to Governor Arthur Capper,
filed recently, the board OF c3 60 TO-
points out that the capacity OF the
pavilion built out of the first appro-
priation is Is, and thus far the dally
population of the institution has peen
from 8 to Is. The buildings PROVO
ed for in the emergency appropriation
of the 1915 legislature have been punt
and will accommodate eight more
patients.
T. "
Norton state sanitorium- ADVISED the
board as follows on the subject OF state
care for incurable cases:
Regarding the inquiry as to con
sunptive homes in my opinion AT
the present the state should build
here as has been done in Iowa, a
pavilion of forty or fifty beds for ad-
vanced cases. The ideal way, however
is for the larger counties and certain
groups of smaller counties, to oullo a
sanitorfum for admission of the 1n1ec-
tious types and thus use the state IN
stitution solely for the care and treat
ment of incipient cases In lieu or TINS

pointed out that if the state took care |
of the advanced cases better equip

capable attendants could be hired

state IS a serious one" he stated, and /
Is one that the state should deal with |

Before the state can build a pavn- |
ion for incurable cases the present law
must be changed so as to permit such
patients to be cared for

Obituary

Early Thursday morning, June
II, 1915, the pure spirit of little
Jesse Elliot Conwill took it flight
and his little eyes opened to be.
Hold not the glories of a southern
June morning, but the Paradise
Of God. He was the little Is.
nonths-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Ruff Conwill and gave promise
Of a useful and sincere man. but
our Heavenly Father had other
purposes for him.
Why such tender lite flowers
are plucked and others left, is
one of the great mysteries of this
life which can never be solved
until we see clearly and no longer
through a veil.
His remains were laid to rest
in Unity cemetery. where loving
hands covered his little grave
with beautiful flowers, emblem
attic Of his short, pure life here
and of its whiteness and immor-
tally in the hereafter.
To the heartbroken parents
and grandparents. they can only
trust Him who knows the way,
holds the key and guides with
unerring hand. And remember,
some time up there we will un-
derstand. L. I.
