IOWA SOLDIERS
HOME CROWDED
Increasing Age Of Veterans and
Widows Brings Largest Men,
bership In Years.

MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa, Nov. %.
Increasing age of veterans of the
civil war and their wives and wild
ows has brought into the Iowa SOL
diers' home here the largest mem.
bership in recent years. On only
one other occasion, on February 8.
1910, were there more members pres
ent than are here now, and the in
crease was only twenty-one.
! There are today 1,169 members OF
the home and 926 Of them-664 men
and 262 women-are present. The alb
sentees, 1877 men and DIG women, are
absent on furlough. The membership
is larger by $50 than it was q year
| ago.
There is not bed in the institu-
ton for woman today, and many
are on the waiting list. Thirty or
forty more men can be accommodated
by placing cots in the halls of the
main building. The hospital is crowd
ed with 21O patients, and one man
who came in yesterday for hospital
treatment had TO sleep on a cot as
there was no room in the wards.
Husbands and wives are separated
| in the Old Peoples building, await
| ing the time when deaths will per-
NIT them to occupy permanent quar-
! tiers there. The women are being
| cared for on cots placed in the par
lors of the Old Peoples buildings.
while the men occupy the main
| building.
Because Of their increasing age
members who years ago took dis
charges are now returning. One case
| is shown of a man who left the home
twenty years ago.
An interesting comparison, made
! with the report Of Commander Milo
Smith twenty-five years ago this
week, shows an average membership
of 379 for the four years the home
| had then been open. The average
age of the members Of the home then
was fifty-seven years. Now there is
not a man in the home under seventy,
and many OF them are past the four.

Quincy for the last time of the year
tomorrow, says the Burlington Ga
Zette.
The KeoHuk has been operating
between Burlington and Quincy all
season, and it has been the longest
season in a decade, for the Keokuk
will not reach her docking quarters,
Davenport, until next Sunday, Novem-
Der 26 In the past, November Is
invariably has been accepted as the
time to close the season. However,
exceptionally good business and fine
weather for the most part, made it
possible for the Northern Steamboat
Co. to extend the SEASON.
The Keokuk will arrive tomorrow
afternoon from Quincy, and at 800
O'Clock in the afternoon, she will de-
part for her last visit to the city of
beer and stoves. This will be the
last opportunity for Burlington ship
pers to ship by water this year, and
the final trip promises to be a heavy
one as the warehouse is pretty well
filled up for the wind-up.
On her return trip, the steamer
will get into Burlington port Satur-
day, and in the afternoon she will
steam out for Davenport. where she
will be placed IN the dry dock and
given a good going over" so that
she will be ready to resume opera
lions when the ice goes out in the
spring.
It was an exceptional steamboating
season on the upper. river. The Helen
Blair, which operated between Dav-
export and Quincy, and the Black
Hawk and Keokuk, which care for
shorter trips between Burlington and
Davenport and Burlington and Quin-
cy. all did fine freight business, while
the passenger lists We're at least up
to the normal. Taken as a whole it
may be classed as a good steamboat
year, and the mooted revival of riv-
er transportation seems to be more
than a pipe dream, right at this time.

MAY APPOINT
COL. WOOD
Quincy Friends OF Man Well Known
Here, Suggest Him for Sol
diers' Home Place.

Colonel Frank Wood is being
prominently mentioned by his friends
for superintendent OF the Illinois Sol
diers' and Sailors Home to succeed
Captain ]. e. Andrew, says the
Quincy Journal. Colonel Wood Is in
Keokuk in charge of the Long Com
mission company's Office here.
Colonel Woods friends urge that
he has seryad more than twenty
years efficiently and well in military
service, including his service in the
Spanish American war, and that he
has often lost CHANCES for promotion
in his civic work, and has felt COM
PEELED to "pass up" many good busr
ness. opportunities because of his
military duties; that he is splendidly
competent for the place and would
make an unusually efficient superin-
tendent of the home.- 1t is urged that
the civil war veterans have reached
the age where the duties of the office
are very heavy for any of them to
bear and that a Spanish war veteran
is the logical successor when the
civil war veterans must lay down the
burden.

|HOW IOWA FIGHTS
TUBERCULOSIS
Or. A. e. kepford Explains What the
State Has Been Accomplishing
and What There is
to Do.
DEATH RATE REDUCED
Liberal Estimate Of Emergent Cases
In the State is Placed at
5000 by This
Expert.
DEATH RATE REDUCED

Dr. A. e. Kepford, Iowa pioneer in
the campaign against tuberculosis.
tells what has 1t en- accomplished and
what can be done in the state to
check this disease,
"Great progress has been made,
not only in the education of the peo-
pie on preventive measures, but in
the advancement Of the medical pro-
fession in the early diagnosis of this
disease" said DR.. Kepford.
so rapid has been our advance,
that the facilities for the care and
treatment of tuberculosis are wholly
Inadequate The demands are much
in excess of our ability to hospitalize
those who are making such care.
Reduction in Death Rate.
Tuberculosis is an involved dis
ease 1t roots itself in tradition, So
cial custom and industrial activities.
1t is primarily disease OF malnu-
triton. 1t can be potent only in a
devitalized or ill-nourished body. Its
ravages therefore, are more notice
able among the poor. The over
worked, the underwaged, the under
fed, the poorly housed and poorly
clothed, are it's easy victims. En-
trenched as it is, it would be small
wonder if decade should pass with
out great visible signs of its repres-
sion. 1t should not surprise one If
generation Of men should pass be-
fore any permanent reduction in
mortality would be married.. 1t is a
happy fact, however, that a great
reduction in the death rate, from
tuberculosis, is already noted through
out the United States, and in Iowa.
Iowa Situation.
"There may be those who would
have you believe that Iowa is pitt
fully behind many of the other states
in aggressive warfare against tuDer-
culosis. Such statements have ap-
ipeared in the newspaper press. Let
| us not be alarmed at assumption
Statistics are valuable when they
lend force to an argument, but their
potency lies rather in the conserva-
tive estimate than in extravagant
statements.
"a liberal estimate Of the whole
number of emergent cases Of tuber-
culosis in Iowa would be probably
8 900. OF course these are not all
dying eases. 1t would be folly to
assume that all need hospital care.
Many Of them are merely suspected
cases. AS you know, the incidence
of tuberculosis is much greater than
the death rate. Is 1,500 hospital beds
could be provided, and distributed
according to population centers, we
would be in a position to very largely
control the tuberculosis in the state

Many People in This Section Of the
State Are Interested In

Bees
IS THE FIFTH GATHERING

The fifth annual meeting OF the
Iowa Beekeepers association will be
held at the chamber of commerce IN
the Shops building, corner OF Egntn
and Walnut streets, Des MONIES
Iowa, December 5-6.' =
There will be twenty addresses ny
as many people who know what up,
to-date beekeeping is and some ol
them are of world wide fame. among
the speakers will be E. R. Root, eal-
tor of lGleanfngs in Bee Culture; y.
P. Dadant, editor of the America
Bee Journal; Frank Cloverdale, the
sweet clover advocate OF nauonal
fame; Professor Francis lager, OF the
University of, Minnesota, and presi:.

lege; and w. p. Southworth, presl-
dent of the Western Honey Produc-
ers' association.
If every farmer knew the real value
Of bees to his growing crops and es-
pecially that of fruit, he would no
more miss this bee meeting than ne
would any other meeting pertalnlns
to farm products. We are practlcally
dependent upon the bee for all our
fruit crops and the average person
does not know it.
Everybody keeping one or more
stands Of bees will miss great op'
portunity to better their knowledge
in the management of their apiary II
they do not attend this meeting.
Anything not plain to keeper OF
bees can have it made clear by at
tending this meeting. Any question
asked will be plainly answered by
those who have solved the problems
in the work. :.
The ladies are especially invited
and the Chamber Of Commerce VIII
entertain. them the afternoon of the
first day.
The Iowa Beekeepers' association
was organized in 1912 and incorpor
ated in 1915. The association does
not exist to make, money and no sal
aries are paid. Millions of dollars
are wasted in Iowa by the shortage
of crops, fruits and vegetables besides
the honey loss because of the general
ignorance of the value of the honey
bee as the essential agent in pollen
ating, or fertilizing, the blossoms
that produce our various crops.
Then when we take into considera-
ton the millions of dollars lost in
honey, not gathered, the true value OF
which as food has not yet begun to
be understood, the economic loss to
Iowa as a whole is preponderous
Honey, natures own best sweet, a
medicine for humanity as well as for
the gods; has no rival in a drug
shop, or the pantry. Not luxury
but a food. Get the habit Of eating
it and grow vigorous and well.

ers' association, Marshalltown, Iowa
