BILL ASKS FOR sANATORIUM
Senator Baxter Wants tuberculosis
institution for Upper Part
of the State.

Madison-Provision for the building
of state tuberculosis sanatorium IN
northern Wisconsin is made in a bill
which Senator Baxter Of Superior Is
preparing to introduce in the senate.
Senator Bakers bill provides for
the location of the institution north OF
the center line of the state, and that
it shall be known as the Northern
State tuberculosis sanatorium. 1t is
proposed that the hospital be equip
ped for the treatment of pulmonary
tuberculosis, especially for cases in
the incipient and moderately adj
vanced stages. The selection of a site
and erection of the building is left to
the state board of control. An appro-
priation of $4,000 is asked.
This is something northern Wis
consin needs pretty badly" said Sena-
tor Baxter. "At present if a person in
the northern part Of the state, afflicted
with tuberculosis, wants to 60 to a san
atoriunn, he must go all the way to
Wales, near Milwaukee. This is the
only state tuberculosis sanatorium,
outside of the one at Tomohawk lake,
which is more or less an institution
for conyalescents.
1.-THE need of this sanatorium is
shown in the fact that many tubercu-
lar patients are unable to get treat
ment at present. The state has wait
ing list of more than one hundred, and
this doesn't take into account those
who haven't applied, because they
know they can't get in"

Will There be War !?

The papers were filled with news
this week in regard to the break with
Germany What the complications
will lead TO cannot be determined at
this writing. but it is probable that
IL some overt act were committed
by Germany. such as the sinking OF
an American ship, war would be de-
clared at once. History records no
instance in which the diplomatic re
lations of first-class power were
severed which was not followed by
war, and this may be no exception to
the rule.
II is generally considered that Ger
many is near the end OF the rope
and some think a war with the Uni
ted States would not be unwelcome
as then Germany could retire with
the excuse that the whole world was
against her, and that further fight
ing is useless.

POSTMASTER SPEAKS OF
THE TIMES COMMENT


Postmaster j. J. Caldwell OF aer.
idian speaking OF the Times com
ment of last week, states that tel
ephone cannot be placed in a post
Office. according to postal regnia-
tions. for the obvious reason that so
many will use it for inquiries re
garding mail.
AS to the complaint made by the
Times that Boise and Nampa rnraI
mail carriers come within two miles
of the Meridian post office, the Post
master says that il present plans are
consummated. Rural Route No. 2
will be established and will serve a
section south and east of town aud
will give US the long needed inn
provement. In fact, petition vas
circulated some time ago and was
favorably received, and has been
turned over to the post-ofhce Of
ficials.
The Times hopes the suggestion
(which was in no way intended as a
criticism) will result in efforts he
ing made to establish the route az
an early date and the sooner rhe
better.
Postmaster Caldwell has promised
the Times a communication for next
week. describing the route and tie
benefit it will he to the people.

EXTENDING DRAIN is OF
IMPORTANCE TO MERIDIAN

IL is rumored that on account OF
opposition of land owners and ex-
trayagant claims for right of way,
the Reclamation service and the Ir-
rigation district are inclined to stoD
the Five Mile drain at the state high
way rather than extend il to the
0. s. L. railway as was originally
planned.
We think this would be very SER
ious mistake since this drain, when
extended. will furnish permanent
protection against the possibility of
seepage, both to these lands and to
the town of Meridian as well.
The reclamation service is doing the
work surprisingly cheap, the excav-
alton costing only $4,000 per mile.
The district pays less than one half
of the expense and this is to be paid
in twenty annual installments, with
out interest. Calculated as an i'm
mediate payment in cash, allowing
the current rates of interest, the dis
trict actually pays but one fourth OF
the cost and receives almost the en-
tire benefit.
We think the government should
bring suit to condemn the necessary
land rather than abandon this piece
of drainage. We believe the Dis
trict should insist that the work be
done as originally planned
The Times was informed when the
small drainage ditch was completed
up past the Stanton place, near the
southeast limits of Meridian, the
people regretted the fact that the
ditch did not extend forty rods far
ther up and head near the Meridian
cheese factory. AS it is, there is
some drainage, but it was expected
that the big Five Mile drain north
OF town would give the village and
suburbs all the drainage necessary.
Now comes the announcement that
the Five Mile drain will stop near
the turn of the highway road, half
mile north OF town, instead of going
up through the Bailey place and
across to the o. S. L. right-of-way,
east of town.
This would mean that Meridian
and suburbs would have practically
no drainage while there are several
score of small tracts that will be hurt
by seepage as much as the farms
outsfda of fhfs, arna
The Times hopes that encourage
ment will be given the Nampa &
Meridian district and Manager Burk-
holder of the Reclamation bureau,
to the end that arrangements will be
made to continue the ditch as orig
inally planned. Just now the dredge
operations are held up on account of
the frozen ground in the Five Mile
creek bed. but as soon as the thaw
win permit. the dredging should
continue the ditch to the railroad
right of way.

ARMY SURGERY
WORKS WONDERS
AT The FRONT
Surgeons and Doctors Work
in Sound of German Guns
in Effort to Save Life.

Behind British Lines in France,
Nov. 9-The American doctors who
are now at work in various parts Of
the British front, find that army SUR
gerry has advanced just as rapidly
since the beginning of the war as any
other branch of wars activities. In
the early days of the war, wounds
were of an average gravity far beyond
that expected from the experience Of
previous wars, while tetanus, gas
gangrene and severe suppuration,
were general and hundreds died OF
comparatively trivial injuries for lack
of early and adequate treatment. :.
This situation has now been alter
ed almost beyond recognition. Serum
treatment has almost done away with
tetanus, while earlier and more en-
4ergetic surgical treatment has largely
defeated gangrene. More and more
of the major surgical work Is being
carried out in the casualty clearing
stations, and some of the most ia
nous Of the American surgeons have
spent most of their time stnce thenr
arrival. in advanced hospitals within
sound Of the Geran guns.
The key to the whole Improvement
in surgical results has been the push
ing of the surgeon nearer and nearer
to the fighting lines. The enemy has
endeavored to counter this by persis-
tent bonn bling Of the advanced hos
pitfalls, but the saving Of life is more
than worth the loss Of life, and suit.
able defensive measures are being
taken.
The doctor, as distinguished from
the surgeon, has also accomplished
wonders in this war. The small NOR
tally from disease in the British and
French armies Is due to his constant
vigilance. His two great weapons
have been sanitation and prophylac-
tic incubation. In a scene of I'M
para1le1ed confusion and in an area
of quite primitive sanitation, his ex-
ertions have resulted in an astonish-
ing degree Of sanitary efficiency. Re-
fuse is destroyed or deeply buried;
battlefie1ds in many cases are cleaned
up within a few days; pure water sup
plies are provided Everywhere be-
hind the immediate front, order and
cleanliness are the rule.
The rule of the Army Medical Of
ficer is not always welcomed by the
inhabitants but it. works with mag
nif1cent success. until camps and
towns, which in previous wars would
have been death traps, have a mortal
ity as low as the most approved
health resort. The routine work of
these medical officers has probably
saved more lives than all the other
medical work of the war.
Preventive incubation has robbed
typhoid and dysentery of their terrors
although in all previous wars these
two causes were responsible for far
more deaths than shells and bull
lets.
