the workmen struck a metal body be-
low the level of the floor of the old
basement. They were puzzled. but as
the object was in the way and had to
be removed, they uncovered it.
1t was the boiler which had stood in
the basement more than score of
years, and which the contra ctor had
removed" by the simple expendient of
taking men into the basement at night
digging a hole in the floor, and bury
ing it. It was the quickest way out Of
the difficulty.
The boiler would be no easier to
hoist out of the pit in which it was
digged" now than It was twenty years
ago. So the Methodists are following
the course of least resistance.
Rather than dig it out of their ex-
cavation they are going ahead and
burying it still deeper.

Special Report on Disease.

More cases of tuberculosis were re-

ing December 81. 1921, than in any
other year since the records have been
kept, according to a special report on
the disease which is Incorporated in
the annual report OF DR.. Earle G.
Brown, city health officer.
A total of 1S2 cases was reported,
the previous high number being 141
for the year 1920. In all previous
years, less than 100 cases have been
reported for the twelve-month period.
OF the number reported during 1921
fifty-three were non-residents, leaving
a total of 129 persons who were resi-
dents of the city of Topeka
This shows an increase of 80 per
cent of cases reported, residents only,
over 1920.
Recognize Disease sooner.
This does not necessarily mean
that there is a SO per cent increase
in the number of cases." the report
states, but that persons are going to
the physicians and the cases are being
recognized while they are still in the
early stages"
OF the total number of cases re
ported, thirty-two were reported as
incipient, which means in the first
stages of the disease. Thirty-five of
the cases were reported as being far
advanced,
The cases and deaths which have
been reported by years since 1914,
are as follows:

Unlike most of the other copy book

Evidence to this effect has literally
been ''unearthed" in the process of
excavating for the rebuilding OF the
First Methodist church.
More than twenty years ago, a new
boiler was installed in the church
basement to take the place of an
older, smaller and much heavier one.
The contractor to whom the job was
awarded, was faced with a consider
able difficulty in getting the boiler
out of the basement. other remodel
ing operations were going on at the
same time.
But one night the old boiler disap-
peared. The officials of the church
made no inquiry, and thought moth
ing of it. The contractor had simply
performed his job. and they asked no
questions to what had become of the
boiler.

More men than women were af-
flicted with tuberculosis during the
year, according to the figures of the
health department. There were log
cases of tuberculosis among men of all
ages, and races and rs among women.
More Men Died of T. B.
OF the thirty deaths from tuber-
culosis which have occurred in Topeka
during the past year, sixteen were of
men, and. fourteen of women. The
greatest number of deaths occurred
during February, when there were
five. The deaths by months were as
follows: January, three; February,
five; March, two; April. four; May,
two; June, none; July, none; August,
three; September, none; october, four;
November, three, and December,
three.
Twenty-one of the deaths occurring
during the past year were of cases
which had been reported during the
year. The remaining nine had been
previously reported.
Thirty-one Recover.
Thirty-one cases have been reported
to the health department as having
recovered from the disease during the
year. Twenty-Five Of these were of
the white race, seventeen male and
twelve female, one colored female and
one Mexican female.
| Topeka has made a splendid fight
against the white plague" says the
report, ''as the comparison of num-
bers of deaths from year to year will
show. While there is an increase of
one in the number of deaths this year
over the previous year, the case fatal
ity is much lower.
"Fresh air, nourishing food, plenty
of sleep and exercise are. important
factors in the avoidance of this dis
ease. Under-nourishment is a prom
inent factor in infection, and it is
therefore important, that the growing
child have wholesome, nourishing
food Many cases reported during
the year, may be traced back as fol-
lowing influenza, mess les or whooping
cough and the prevention of the acute
infections is an added step in safe
guarding a life against tuberculosis
The importance of routine physi-
cal examinations cannot be empha-
sized too highly. Persons should
make a rule to go to their family ply
stefan once a year, preferably every
six months, to have a thoro physical
examination and thus know their rea

will get you to Oberlin before dark,
he said. A few miles from Herndon
we came to the forks in the road, so
he took the one he knew nothing
about, but was sure it was a shorter
one to Oberlin. We came to a hill
more than half a mile in length, and
most of it quite steep. He put on
more steam, and about half way up
the hill the car stopped suddenly and
commenced backing up. Jump out
and try to hold the car" he said, and
soon, with all the strength in your
correspondent he succeeded in slow
ing up the car. There wasn't a boul-
der of any kind to be had, but by our
efforts we succeeded in keeping the
car in the middle of the road. We
finally reached the foot of the hill in
safety. Making a few repairs. and
treating the engine to water and oil,
and with the aid of your correspon-
dent working like a beaver pushing
the car up hill, we reached the top
in safety. Darkness was coming on.
and after few more miles of travel
a tire gave out, and the remainder of
the trip was made with three wheels,
reaching Oberlin about midnight.
This was the last trip Lawyer Noble
has ever made in a Ford car. It sure
was a narrow escape for both of us.
for had the car jumped the road when
it stopped half way up the hill, the
newspapers and telephone would have
been all that was left to tell the story
of the lawyer and the Sixth district
companion. A few days ago Noble
and the writer talked over the mirac-
ulous escape from death while on the
trip from Atwood to Oberlin.
A. S. Peacock, probate judge of
Trego county, says the 1921 year just

judge to remark that the trouble is
not that it is too easy to get a divorce

Make Progress in E1ght.
An interesting feature of the reports
is the decrease each year of the num-
Der of deaths as compared with the
number of cases reported, indicating
progress in combating the disease. .,
"Of the total of 1872 cases reported"
says the report, "152 were of the
white race. thirteen were colored and
seventeen were MeXicans. OF the non
resident cases reported, forty-eight
were of the white race, four colored
and one Mexican. From the figures
as given, therefore, it will be seen
that the colored and Mexican races
had many more cases in proportion to
population than the white race. Esti-
mating the Mexican population at
1000, and eliminating the one non
resident case, one case was reported
for approximately every siXty-three
persons. The proportion for the pre-
vious year was one case for every 167
persons of the Mexican race.
Co,orcd Race Holds Second Place.
THE colored race had less cases re-
ported in proportion to the population
than the Mexican race, and was ap-
proximately the same as last year.
Thirteen cases were reported, four of
them beinguonresidents and estimating
the colored population as $500, makes
one case reported for every 375 per-
sons of that race. The proportion last
year was one case for every 333 per
sons.
"Of the forty eight nonresident
cases of the white race reported, forty
one were males and seven females.
Seventy-fiVe cases of tuberculosis,
white residen only, were reported for
the year 1920, while for the year 1921,
the number jumped to 105, an in
crease of thirty cases. The white
population is estimated at 45.333, and
this would represent approximately
one case reported for every 431 per-
sons. The average of all cases report
ed of residents only, would be one
case for every 491 persons"
