THE ONE BIG LEGISLATIVE MEASURE.

DOTH houses now have before them bills which provide
for the establishment of tuberculosis hospital near
Fort Supply III the northwest part OF Oklahoua where
the altitude invites the location OF such institution
Other measures have found their way into the legisla
ture; some of them frivolous; some appropriate
money which may be necessary but here is bill which
Is designed to HUMAN LIVES, and causes it to
take rank aS the one big legislative
The putmcSsalh is tho most important element which
q legislative Body consider And when it is proposed
10 build hospital that will do the work cut by this
BILL there should be unanimous support from house and
senate
Each year the dread white plague takes death toll of
10000 i'll the United States. fair share OF this is in
Oklahoma
Three hundred thousand school children OF the United
States affected with ubercular germs And Oklahoma
has made provision for hospital to protect the little
folk of state from being numbered among those
100000
Each day the death toll from this disease this country
is 400 souls.
One death of every seven is caused BY tuberculosis
Are we worried about this in Oklahoma
Yes, of course And should show our worry
BY telling the members OF the legislature build that
hospital for the and prevention of tuberculosis
