L. B. MENACE
IN ILLIN
SERIOUS PROBLEM

1t is estimated by representatives
of the Illinois tuberculosis Society
that fully 10000 cases of tuberculosis
are active in the state. Considering
the increase in population, however
the death rate is much lower, accord
ing to the records of five year period
from 1918 to 1922.
During this five year period the
number of deaths from tuberculosis
dropped from S,402 in 1918 to $3.50 in
1922. The year 1922, however, showed
decrease of only four.jn the num-
ber of deaths. Yet in proportion to
the normal increase in population this
represents a fair reduction.
Death Rate in Counties.
Thirty-three deaths are reported
in Champaign county during the
calendar year 1921-1922 by the state
department of public health. The
total in other neighboring counties is
as follows: Vermilion, So; Douglas,
IL; Piatt, 15; Macon, AZ; Mclean, 46;
Edgar, 81; Iroquois, 8; Christian, 19;
Clinton, II; Kankakee, 6S; Moultrie,
II; Peoria, 116; Sangamon, rs, and
Coles, 81. Cook county reports 2,SS3.
A writer in Logan county states
that as deaths were reported in that
community in 1922 with more than
800 active cases of tuberculosis. The
same writer states that Madison
county had 900 active cases of tuber-
culosis in 1922 and 80 deaths. The
population of Logan county is ap-
proximately 10000, while Madison
county has a population of over l00,-
900.
u. S. Report.
The Department of Commerce OF
the United States announces that COM
pilations made by the bureau of the
census show that 90,452 deaths in
1922 were due to tuberculosis. This
represents drop of "a percent since
1921 .in which year. the rate was 99.4
per 100000 population.
In states where records are avalla-
BILE ~ show increases in rates for l922
while % show decreases, indicating
that the eradication campaign is hav-
ing a beneficial effect.
The highest death rate is reported
from Colorado, or 172.6 per l0O,OO0
population. This is not credited to the
Colorado climate, but to the fact that
many who are afflicted with /. b.
seek the helpfulness of Colorado air in
the hope of being cured. In Nebraska,
adjoining Colorado, the death rate Is
Sol per 100000 population.
Death rate among the colored race
is higher than among whites. Tennes-
see, for example, reports death rate
of 1918 among the white population
and 299.S among the colored popula-
ton, per 100000. ;.
In planning the new years work IL
is urged that nothing be left to
chance. On the contrary every local
association is urged by the state or
ganization to strive ito give the pup
lie service" in return for the money
spent in laying the foundation Tor
thorough eradication campaign.
at will be best to plan some den
mite things" says the state commit
tee. IF only small amount Of money
is available few things should be
selected and well done. 1t is mis-
take to hold money in the treasury
for a whole year. The little on hand
can be used to demonstrate what could
be done if more funds were available
Plan the years work. Plan 1t DELI
nitely and plan it early"

 The commissioner said power was granted him to grant such licenses without examination prior to January 1 and it was desired to learn so far as possible the names of operators who certainly should be required to undergo an examination.

RASMUSSEN GOES TO NORTHEAST ASIA
Mill Go to Study Siberian Eski'
 mos Latter Part Of Summer
By The Assaelatsa Prsss.

By The Associated Press
 Nome, Alaska, Aug, i2.-Knud Ras' mussen, leader of an expedition study Ing Eskimos. who, according to s telegram received here, has reached Kotzehne. ia0 miles north Of Nome. will proceed 10 northeast Asia to study Siberian Eskimos, if enough of sum mer is left for that task, it was helieY- ed here today
 That was the last item on the pro- gram of the enterprise, officially known as the fifth thule expeditions of Denmark. when 1t went to the Cam adian Arctic from Greenland a year ago last spring. The expedition was sanctioned by King Christian of Dem mark. and financed by a committee headed by ID Nyehbe, q Danish civil engineer. Rasmussen had achieved a high reputation by studies of Eski- mos in Greenland.
 Until q telegram received here from Rasmussen asking the postmaster at Nome to forward his mall to Kotze- bue. on Kotzebue sound, an arm Of the Arctic ocean. no word had been re- ceiyed from him since May, 1923. At that time a messenger from his party reached a small peninsula of Canada south of Victoria Island. Rasmussen was then eighty miles east of the peninsula. This word was brought out by Captain John Klingenbcrg, an Arc- tic trader of Victoria Island. with whom the messenger communicated.
 The expedition was due at Her. schell Island in the Arctic ocean near the northern end of the boundary line between Canada and Alaska last fall and from there was to have turn cd south to the Alaknek and Ende- colt mountain ranges in the Colville river country. all in Northern Alaska.
 The northern coast of Asia, south Of WrangeI Island and that part Of si- beria as far south as the Kamichitk pensinsula is sparsely inhabited bs Fskimos. Their villages scattered along the coast of northeastern Asia, district known to Alaskans as Wha- len, have frequently been the salvation of parties of explorers and traders that have lost their vessels ana made their way ashore over the ice.
