One of our visiting nurses went to a
little town upstate said Mr.. Jacobs.
1t was a nice, commonplace, healthy
little town. Nothing about it that diff
fered materially from any other little
town. The resident doctors told the
nurse that If her heart were really in
her work she would move on, because
there was nothing at all for her there.

The National Antituberculosis asso-
citation had a similar experience at

which the association recently demon
strated to the world what 1t can do in
creating public health. 1t was a typical
New England town, no worse than most
and far better than many, when the
association began it's work. 1t had al

TUBERCULOSIS IS
NOW DECREASING
There Are Not as Many Deaths
Reported as There Are
New Cases.
BY COREY.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S,-'"There are
not as many cases of tuberculosis re-
ported as there are tubercular deaths
each year"
This is the statement of Philip P.
Jacobs, executive of the National Anti.
tuberculosis association.
II have compared health statistics
for the same territory taken by the city,
state and national agencies" said he,
''and each differed from both the 9TH
ers." y
Therefore the National Antitubercu-
losis association wants to take ac-
count Of stock. 1t wants to find out
how many cases of tuberculosis Uncle
Sam has on hand. Mr.. Jacobs believes
that there are 1000, 900 active cases in
the United States, and perhaps another

kansas had an unusual amount of
cool, partly cloudy. rainy weather dur
ing May just passed, but contrary to
the general impression, the actual
amount of rain over the state was dis
tinctly less than usual, as shown by a
summary of the reports of $50 sta

monthly weather report issued today
by S. D. Flora, federal meteorologist

only May on record in Kansas with no
temperature higher than 80 degrees
somewhere in the state. and only the
third one in thirty-two years with no
Temperature lower than 80 degrees. A
few frosts occurred the first week. but
We're not severe enough to cause any

Rainfall Over State.
1.-THE average rainfall over the east

inches; the middle third, 1928 inches;
the western third, 1.85 inches; and for
the entire state, 3.13 inches, which is
1.04 inches below normal and nearly
an inch less than the average for April
preceding. Rain fell in all parts on an
average of practically one day out OF
three, and it was well distributed.
| With the exception of the three west
ern tiers of counties, a total of more
than two inches was general and a
great many counties in the eastern
third had from to 5 inches. The
two places reporting the greatest
amounts for the month were Pleas

Hays, with SIS inches, both of which
were largely due to heavy local down
! pours on a single day. The least rain
was 0.39 inch at Wallace and 0.52 inch

! destructive in several localities. Nc
snowfall was reported anywhere.
Rain Threatened Wheat.

growth and development, but the pro-

a great deal of concern on account OF

wheat going down, as it was very
rank. By the close of the month the
crop had headed generally over the
eastern two-thirds, with harvest only
two weeks away in the southeast
quarter, and was beginning to head
| freely in the western third.
Barley and oats were looking fine
