HEALTH LECTURE TONIGHT AT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

Educational Discussion of Tuberculosis, Illustrated by Many Stereopticon Slides. I • Dr. W. F. King and Inspector Frank W. Tucker will conduct a free lecture along educational lines treating tuberculosis and means of preventing its spread and also relating to the pure food law and disease breeding conditions about dairies and slaughter houses, both illustrated by numerous lantern slides, at the Presbyterian church tonight. The lecture is absolutely free. The public is not only cordially invited, but is urged to turn out and take advantage of the things these state employes have learned that will greatly aid in the public health. The free exhibit in the Williams building, just west of McFarlands grocery store, has attracted much attention and there has been a steady stream of people there each day since the display was made ready Monday evening. Dr. King and Mr. Tucker are each deeply interested in their work and they have been very painstaking in showing all visitors the results of their experiments and no one can visit the room and not feel that he has profited very much by having gone there. The exhibit will be kept here only until 4 o’clock Friday evening, when it will be packed for removal. Dr. King has spent a busy week. He has not only talked to the high school pupils at the school house, thoroughly inspected both the school buildings, helped to instruct all visitors at the exhibit room, attended to the various grades that have attended the exhibit in a body, entertained Mayor Meyers and members of the city council at an" informal gathering in the room Wednesday night, but he has also visited a number of country schools with County Superlntenden. Lamson. Tonight he will deliver the lecture on tuberculosis, Friday morning he will again talk to high school pupils at the school house and later in the day talk to the township trustees. He is expected to deliver some pretty hot shots to the trustees Friday on the condition of some of the school houses he has visited and also about the condition of some of the closets at the school buildings. He describes the condition existing at some of the school houses he visited as being extremely bad. The work has been interesting to Rensselaer people and the visit should promote great good. Don’t forget that it is free; that it is here for your benefit and that you are cordially invited to visit the exhibit any time up to 4 o’clock Friday. The lecture tonight is free. . No collection, no expense of any kind. You will enjoy it,
