NEED OF QUARTERS
FOR CONSUMPTIVES.
Startling Revelation of Lack of
Accommodations for Sufferers.
Fifteen thousand buds and 600,000
patients, or 400 consumptives for
every bed, is a statement made by the
National Association tor the Study
and Prevention of Tuberculosis in its
investigation as to the need of beds
for destitute consumptives in the
United States.
Gathering statistics from every state
in the country and from every hospi
tal in which any provision whatever
is made tor tubercnlous patients, it
has been found that the total number
of beds provided, botli by public and
private resonrcos, is loss than 15,000.
Over HgaiiiRt tiese liirnros, the Na-
1 tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of Tuberculosis has placed
the fact that there are, according to
the estimate of the United States Bu
reau uf the Census, at least (lOO.Oni)
living cases of tuberculosis in this
couuiry and that at least 200,000 per
sons die from this disease every year.
The Adirondack legion in Now
York State; Colorado, and particu
larly the regions about Denver and
Colorado Springs; New Meixco, Ari
zona, and tiie Southwest; and North
Caroliuu are the principal resorts for
consumptives. The recent demonstra
tions of experts, however, tiiat tuber
culosis can bo cure l in any climate,
lias led to a considerable distribution
of the bed capacity and has called in
to existence a largo number ot small
sanatoria, hosnitals. and day cainns.
some of them with a capacity of only
six beds. This is shown by tiie fact
that, while the number of sanatoria
during the last four yea's lias more
than doubled, the increase in the
number of bods has been only about
60 per cent.
"Every case of tuberculosis should
be isolated as long as bacilli are
there." Dr. Arthur Newsliolme, one
of tho best English specialists on tu
berculosis, says that the only way in
which the death-rate from consump
tion can bo reduced is by segregating
all advanaed cases, because these are
tho centers of infootion from which
the disease spreads.
It is not difficult, the National As
sociation affirms, to cure consumption
in its early stages, but it is impos
sible to effect a cure in the latter
stages of tho disease, and consequent
ly, these cases should be romoved or
isolated in their homes in order to
prevent the Infection of persons liv
ing with them. Hat they cannot be
removed or isolated unless hospitals 1 Mr. Peckover is sinking a well on

sion. At a meeting of the agricultural
faculty of the Oregon Agricultural
College on November 30th, the request
of President Roosevelt's Country Life
Commission for suggestions that
might aid the Commission in making
Its report was discussed and the fol
lowing statement prepared:
If federal appropriations are to be
made for improving social and econ
omic conditions in rural communities,
it is recommended, first, that they be
made to existing high schools and nor
mal schools for the purpose of main
taining courses of instruction in agri
culture, industrial and domestic arts,
and including business methods and
home sanitation, so that all public
school teachers may have the train
ing necessary for teaching those sub
jects In the public schools.
Second, that in order to secure the
full efficiency of the agricultural col
legos and experiment stations, the na
tional government should co-operate
with the states In agricultural exten
sion work, this work to be under the
direct supervlslbn of the agricultural
colleges. With an adequate appro
priation a comprehensive system of
traveling agricultural schools, farmers'
institutes and free circulating libraries
could be maintained, and publications
issued for free distribution so that all
important discoveries of the experi
ment stations could be given to every
farmer of every state. u

What To Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
It corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times durimr the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root i
is soon realized. It stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need a medicine
you should have the best. Sold by drug
