THOUSANDS DIE NEEDLEssLY
In Search of Health.-National Tu-
berculosis Association Tells
Who Should Go West.

From 10000 to $4,000 consumptives
go West in search of health every
year. Such is the estimate made by
the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
in statement issued today based on
recent Investigations of the United
States Public Health Service. The
Association concludes that there are
at present between 100000 and 2OO,-
900 consumptives in the states of
California, Arizona, New Mexico,
Texas and Colorado.
Investigations were made during
the past year by surgeons of the Unit
ed States Public Health Service, P.
M. Darlington in California, E. A.
Sweet in Texas, and New Mexico, and
A. d. Foster in North and South Car
DINA. The National Association
draws the following conclusions from
these studies:
| . Q) Thousands of comsumptives
attracted by the climate migrate ev-
cry year to the West and Southwest.
While no definite figures can be pro-
cured, the facts ascertained would in
dictate an annual migration of at least
10000 and possibly $4,000 into the
states of California, Arizona, Color
ado, New Mexico and Texas.
(2) From 80 to so per cent of
these consumptives are hopeless cases
and die within six months after their
arrival, the percentage of those dying
running as high as Is within 80 days.
(3) A large, but unknown percent
age die in almhouses or are the re-
cipients of charity, and the great ma
jority Of these could have been made
comfortable in their last days if they
had stayed at home among friends
and relatives.
az From 40 to 80 per cent of all
deaths from tuberculosis in the West
and Southwest are of natives of other
states, nearly so per cent coming
from Illinois, Missouri, Ohio, Kes-
lucky, Tennessee and New York
(5) People who can afford it and
who are not in too far advanced
stages of tuberculosis will find the
climate of the West and Southwest an
aid in the treatment of tuberculosis.
co. No one should think of going
West or Southwest for his health I'M
less he has at least $1,000 above his
railroad fare, and can leave his fam
lily in comfortable circumstances; and
no one should go who has not taken
careful medical advice.
CD tuberculosis can be cured in
any part of the United States, and it
is far better for a consumptive of
moderate means, such as the the aver
age worHngman, to go to a sanitor-
ium near at home, than to go West
and live in more favorable climate
without proper food or medical care.
(S) Finally, there may be plenty
Of jobs in the West and Southwest
for able-bodied men, but the consump-
tives will find great difficulty in get
ting work, and no one should go West
therefore in the hope of getting a job.
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
will send free literature or give in
formation about sanitoria and hospit-
ais to anyone inquiring at its office,
los East 22d Street, New York City.

the roads and the distance made this
visit impossible.

Mr.. Merritt voiced the sentiment of
the farmers in a little talk at the
Hooper farm in which he said they
fully appreciated the interest the bus
mess men were taking in the farm
ers' welfare and that had it not been
for their cooperation and assistance
in providing automobiles, it would not
have been possible to have taken this
trip.

ident of the United Wooden Mills com.
pany, is one of those men, who while
living outside of Fairmont, have con.
fldence in the ,city's future.
When the proposition Of providing a
modern hotel was presented to Mr..
Hersch, he subscribed for $1,000
worth of the stock without moments
hesitation and said at the same time
that he is glad to help Fairmont in
every possible way.
Mr.. Hersch was also generous con-
tributor to the fund provided for the
taking over Of Cook Hospital thus
making 1t a public institution.

Fire Department Called to

Time.

Fire started in the home Of ]. H.

evening at SIS o'clock. The blaze was
small and confined to the bath room,
The East Side fire wagon went to tho
fire and with the use OF chemicals the
fire was easily extinguished. Fire
Chief Watkins from the Central fire
house went to the East Side blaze in
his auto and returned In time to fol.
low the fire truck to GAINESVILLE,
where It had been called to answer
an alarm from the GAINESVILLE Manu-.
featuring Company's wooden mills
there. The second call came in at six
o'clock
The fire at the mills started from
friction in a pulley on the drive shaft
in the picking room. AS soon as the
fire was discovered the fire brigade
with'a hose from the company's tank
above the mill, got busy but was uil.
able to cope with the flames. The
chemicals Of the fire department soon
got the blaze under control and by
venturing into the picking room, which
was by this time like furnace, they
managed to put 1t out entirely. The
damage was slight.
