 We hesitate to mention the names of those who are sick or have been sick with the epidemic for fear we may slight some one and hurt their feelings. This would be bad, for it is bad enough to have the flu without being sighted when the roll of the Il Had It Club' is called.

On account of the uncertainty of economic and political condi- tions in Siberia this year, few Alaska miners and trappers have crossed the Bering sea to take minerals and furs from the Asi- atic lands. In other years many Alaskans, most of them from Nome, and the Seward Peninsula, ave gone into the Siberian coun- y around the Gulf of Anadir. one is only about 150 miles from a siberian coast.

INSTITUTION IS PLANNED TO CARE
FOR TUBERCULARS IN MARION COUNTY
Plan to Establish sanitar.
ium Will Be Given AS
sistance By State.

The first step toward providing
suitable care for the approximately
one hundred tubercular sufferers OF
the county was taken yesterday after
noon at meeting in the County court
room Of the Court house of the Red
Cross Public Health Nursing Service,
when tentative plans were developed
for the erection In the county of a
sanitarium for the treatment of the
disease.
James S. Lakin, a member of the
State Board of Control, told the meet
ing that it was impossible for the
state sanitarium at Terra Alta to han
die the local cases, since 1t was al
ready beseiged with applications num-
bering hundreds, and that Marion
county at this time had more than her
quota in the institution.
1T will be necessary" said Mr.. La
kin, for Marion county to surround
this disease at home. A sanitarium
can be built here for approximately
ten thousand dollars. The County
court has already donated farm for
its site, and now all that is necessary
is to get to work and get your buid-
ih6s ALL 6uTG LudI WQep Ile VITAL
need of 1t is presented to your citi-
zens, there will be no hesitation on
their part to respond and make it pos
sible."
Mr.. Lakin declared that If local
institution for the treatment of the
disease was brought into being, It
could count confidently on state sup
por in connection with its operation.
"The state" added Mr.. Lakln, last
year appropriated five thousand dol
lars each to the district sanitariums
at Wheeling and Charleston. II your
proposed institution had been In
existence at that time there is no
question but that a similar appropria-
tion would have been made here"
Mr.. Lakin went further and declar-
ed that in all probability the state in
a matter of five or ten years would
take over the operation Of the local
institution entirely and make it a.
state operated sanitarium for the Mo-
nongahela Valley.
Mr.. Lakin, from his experience
with buildings of this nature, told the
