That Is the statement made by DR..
William De Kleine, in charge Of the
state antituberculosis survey.
There is nothing more certain
said Doctor De Kleine, than that with.
out expert care under the direction Of

lily will communicate the disease to
others.
only last week we came across a
case In which an aged grandmother
brought five children to the clinic.
Four Of them had tuberculosis in q
very pronounced form. Further inves.
tigation showed that the father is ar.
fiicted with tuberculosis. Presumably
he gave It to the small children.
1--WE have come tn expect patients In
groups-family groups. In poorer fami-
lies. where children are not over well
fed and where the general resistance
is poor, there is little chance for any
OF the family to escape when one
member contracts the disease. And
ordinarily a man or woman who has
the disease and marries is booming

Sees End Of Kansas Prooressives.

Kansas farmers have not profited
much from the sensational rise In the
price Of wheat, due to the European
war, according to David w. Mulvane
of Topeka, former member of the Re-
publican national committee.
There IL not more than 20 per
cent of the Kansas wheat crop remain
ing In the hands of the farmers" said
Mr.. Mulvane. Many of the farmers
sold large part of their wheat at 80
cents and some at 81 q bushel. Few
received more than 81 bushel. The
advance in the price, therefore. has
not benefited our Kansas farmers to
any great extent, though you may be
sure the Kansas farmer is pretty
prosperous person. Wheat at dollar
a bushel is profitable crop"
Mr.. Mulvane believes Kansas will

however, for there were Progressive
candidates in every congressional dis
trict, which, of course, operated to
the advantage OF the Democrats. Next
year there will not be any Progressive
party in Kansas, as there will be none
in other states. and the Republicans
and Democrats will have straightout
fight. Whenever this occurs the Re-
publicans will win, for Kansas is a
rock-ribbed Republican state"
