Measures Arc Needed
Against tuberculosis
Secretary of State Health Board
Says Colorado Has About
$4,000 Active Cases.

The time has come for Colorado to
take adequate measures to meet and
control its peculiarly individual prob.
lem Of tuberculosis, according to DR..
r. L. Drinkwater, secretary of the
State Board of Health DR. Drink
water pointed out the seriousness Of
the matter in an interview recently
when he declared that the latest fig
ures complied by his hoard show that
there were 2O30 deaths from tubercu-
loss alone in Colorado last year He
estimates the number of active cases
Of tuberculosis IN this state today to
be approximately $4,000 with about
the same number of inactive cases.
'"rhe tuberculosis problem in Colo.

persons suffering from tuberculosis
come to this state every year because
of its wonderful climate and altitude
just how many cases from other sec
tions of the country are added to
those developed here we do not know
definitely, although the Colorado Tu-
'berculosis Association, as a part OF
the splendid work it is doing, is now
making survey of the INDECENT mi
gratory cases of tuberculosis which
have come within the view OF institu
tions in Denver, Colorado Springs and
Grand Junction. The result of this
survey will give us definite idea of
the number Of persons who come Il IN
other states in the hope Of rcGaining
their health and then drift to one OF
these cities, where eventually their
funds fall them and they turn to char
table institutions for help.
MANY of these unfortunates, who
n, ight have been saved If they had
stayed at home and secured admission

public institution. Only too often they
are in such a condition that they can
not be returned to their homes, nor ie
there any hope for them when they are
in that stage. There are from 80 to 90

BETTER HEALTH TO AID

The first steps In providing every

Already examinations have been made

Professor Flint declared that re

where reporting was fifty years ago.
"Mr. Busyman as an ad writer was
thessubject of his talk.
''Thc five WIS of reportcr-Who?

are as essential in an advertisement
as in the lead of a news story" he
said, THE good reporter makes the
best ad writer because he has been
trained to recognize news when he
sees It, He can see the news in a
store full of goods. He knows how
to; write a story for advertising col
umns as simply and directly and
wildly as he would write story
for the news columns.
Another thing the writer should
study in the news columns is the
headings Important used to be con-
sidered n fine head for news story
Not today But such headings are
still regarded as wonderfully fine
by some ad writer's. Retail adver-
tising today is about where report

Professor Flint told the story of
Mr.. Busyman's advertising regenera-

when. after his Regeneration" he

Washington, Aug. 8. = Benjamin Strong, governor of the New York federal reserve district, today took the stand to answer charges that the system had discriminated against az rlcultural interests in making loans.

Within 20 minutes, the crip- pied steamer listed, turned and sank to within four feet of the tips of the masts. The passengers were placed in life boats, but one overturned as it was placed in the water. The steamer was bound from Portland to San Francisco
