Gov. Gardner in letter that the nor

authorities shall continue as in the
past. The governor had asked for in
formation on this subject. The secre-
Gary's communication follows:
THE theory under which the gov
eminent is proceeding is that normal
state taxation shall continue as here
tofore and be absorbed as a part of
the operating expenses. There is moth
ing in the bill now pending before
congress which in any way conflicts
with this policy. We are counting on
very hearty and definite cooperation
from the officials of the several states
and taxing bodies and public service
commissions, and we believe that
while the government control contin-
ues there will be no occasion for AK

UNIVERSITY BOARD ISSUES Bull
LETlN ON PREVENTION
OF DISEASES.
PREVENTIVE AND CURATIVE
State Board Of Health Distributes
Remedies TO Those Needing Them
MANY Diseases Have Been
Isolated and Cured.
jefferson City. Mo.


The department OF preventive medi-
cine has prepared the following bulle-
tin on vaccination, which is now be
ing required so widely by health au-
therities:
Vaccination against various dis
eases is no longer an experimental
process OF medicine. No better exam
pie need be set forth than our expert
ence OF vaccination against smallpox
in justlfying the procedure in regard
TO other diseases. II Is a well-known
fact that vaccination has rendered
small pox entirely controllable.
The danger from vaccination is now
reduced to such degree that to offer
this as an excuse Is not only a mark
of ignorance, but a direct attack upon
the welfare of our fellow beings. In
preventing other diseases vaccination
has become as vital as the vaccina-
ton against smallpox. Typhoid fever
and para-typhoid fever are today more
harmful to our people than is small
pox.
Accordingly, physicians have per-
fected and put into use vaccine
against these diseases. This vaccine
protects the individual in varying de-
Erees. Usually the period of protec.
ton is about two years.
The state board of health in Mis-
souri, distributes these vaccines free
of charge to all people who wish to
take them. No i'll effects have been
experienced from the use of this vac.
cine in this or other countries.

sslons Fire Prison.


The state penitentiary had its first
incendiary fire under the Gardner ad-
ministration and the loss TO the state
is estimated at Sg5o.OO0. There may
be additional losses because OF inabil-
ity to fill rush orders for shoes,
Factory No. 6. known as the old
Parker shoe factory, and the prison
laundry, an extension of the factory,
were burned TO the ground.
There were a number OF fires from
little before ] a. m. until 4 a. m. The
first fire was in the double basement
Of the laundry. 1t was put out with
extinguishers. Half an hour later an
other fire was discovered in the base
ment OF the shoe factory. II took an
hour 10 extinguish this blaze. A little
later it was discovered that the third
story of the shoe factory was on fire
in several places. The city depart
ment was then called out.
Later fire was discovered on the
second floor of the shoe factory, and
# was all the firemen could do to con-
fine the flames to the factory and
laundry.
The state had received large ship
ment OF leather for the shoe factory
and it was stored in the basement dur
ing the day. This shipment was in
tended to meet rush orders for shoes
from Chicago and points in the east
All of this leather, with the exception

The state did not carry insurance on
the buildings, but there was sruan in.
surance on the contents. This is
enough, Chairman Painter of the pris-
on board thinks, to pay for the ma
chinery and tools. He estimates the
actual loss on buildings and contents
at S250,000. The loss in labor and on
sales of shoes will be considerable, as
well as the loss on stock. The shoe
factory belonged to the state and was
operated exclusively by the state. 1t
had just begun making money. H. will
be rebuilt as soon as possible, but just
now the penitentiary has no funds.
There is no doubt in the minds Of
prison officials that the fires were de-
liberately planned and set by convicts.
So many fires occurring within a
space of four hours, and ell after the
buildings had been emptied Of con-
victs, has convinced officials that the
whole thing was a well arranged plot.

into effect in Missouri until Feb. 10,
15 days after its enforcement in most
