Let the Trutl, Be Told.

Rock Island, Dec. 15,-Editor The
Argus: An article appearing in the
editorial columns Of the Rock Island
Daily Union under date OF Tuesday,
Dec, IA, which says The property
owners did it," is a lie on its face and
the writer Of this article knew it when
he wrote it. Those property owners,
like the average property owner who
has property to rent are not particu-
lar as to the character Of their ten
ants providing they get their rent, no
matter what their individual standing
in the community may be.
The writer of that article knows
how those property owners were in
formed Of the character of their ten
ants, and that they were informed by
the police that proceedings would be
started against them under the new
statutes, and that is why they got
busy This was the third time this
place had been raided and the tenants
prosecuted in the last six months.
Let the truth be told, and it may be
the next installment will surprise
those very property owners and the
public, for the half has never yet been
told.

PALMER ADVISES
CITY SANITORIUM
Springfield Physician Declares county
Institution Conseys the Idea
OF Pauperism.
BEFORE THE MEDICAL SOCIETY
Building OF Pthisis Hospital Is Only
Made Possible by Education OF
Laity-Supervisor Talks.

Dr.. J. ?. Palmer Of Springfield, in
an address before the Rock Island
County Medical society in Moline last
evening, declared that tuberculosis
sanatorium controlled by the county
conveys the idea of pauperism and ex-
pressed himself in favor OF an in
stitution managed by municipality.
1t is necessary that the Iaity be edu-
Gated, declared Dr. Palmer, before the
building of pthisis hospital in n
community can be accomplished. The
speaker expressed his belief that most
people are overeducated in the matter
Of righteousness of tuberculosis. He
did not say that an open case of tu-
berculosis. which is not having proper
care, is not infectious, but he held
that patient using precaution and
being looked after in a scientific way,
will not convey the disease TO others.
To support this statement he declared
that not in so years has he known of
an authentic case where uureses, ply
stefan or anyone else who have come
in contact with tuberculosis patients
have contracted the disease.
Scouts Needless Fear.
! He also secuted the idea that build
| ing a sanatorium in a density populat-
ed district would cause spread OF
| the malady.
DR.. Palmer told Of the sanatorium
at Springfield, which is conducted pri-
vately. the city or county paying for
attendance of their charges sent there
for treatment.
AS a means Of educating the laity
the speaker suggested dispensary
with visiting nurse and plenty Of
publicity in the newspapers,
Dr. Louis Ostrom of this city, who
was on the sanatorium committee, EN-
phasized what DR.. Palmer had said re-
/ garding tuberculosis and he spoke OF
/ conditions in Rock Island respecting
the proposed hospital here.
To Vote on Tax.
/ An impromptu talk from the view OF
county official was given by NJ }
{ Griswold, member of the board of SUI
] peryisors. He said the city cannot
support a sanatorium on only $1,000
a year, which would be available by
imposing a one mill tax. On the 9th
er hand. he declared, the county is al
lowed to impose q tax of three mills
providing the proposition carries by d
vote of the people This question. Is
said. will be submitted to ballot next
/ fail
! Review of the work which is being
/ done at the Wo0dmen sanatorium al
Colorado Springs was given by DR.. B
. E. Jones of the Modern Woodmen med,
ical staff. Most of the patients who
die of tuberculosis have been there
but q comparatively short time, he
said, and so per cent Of them after re
ceiving treatment at the sanatoriun
are able to go back home and work.
