Curtis Stumps lowa BY KENNETH CRAWFORD United Press Staff Correspondent ABOARD SENATOR CURTIS' ! TRAIN IN lOWA, Sept. 19.—Senator Charles Curtis, an old-fash-ioned, man-of-the-people campaigner. was learning the new tricks of his trade today aboard the luxurious private car in which the Republican national committee is sending him West. Left to his own devices at the start of the campaign. Curtis stumped the territory assigned to him on the same plane he had followed during all his thirty-four years in national politics. He rode public Pullman cars, hobnobbed with fellow passengers and accepted whatever comforts or discomforts that came his way. Speed Up Campaign His methods were considered effective but slow. Two or three appearances a day were the most he could manage before the national committee made new arrangements. Now he is installed in a car that serves as a rolling hotel and rostrum combined with a personal staff of four publicity agents, a private secretary, relief speaker and radio expert/ He lives comfortably on the train, meets local politicians there and makes his speeches from the rear platform. Fourteen Speeches Tuesday Curtis delivered fourteen farm relief speeches Tuesday while crossing agricultural territory. In Illinois, at Henry and Augustana College, near Rock Island, he went to his audiences by automobile, using his tailroad car as a base. But in j-the other twelve cities his audi--9 ences came to him at the railroad station. His principal speech today will be made at Spencer, lowa. He will motor there from Sheldon, where • his car will be sidetracked until late this afternoon. If you are tired of farm life and would like to come to the city, there’s a chance to trade your farm for a nice five-room bungalow in the Real Estate for Exchange classification in tonight’s Times Want Ads.

Woman and Two Brothers Reunited After 43 Years

Mrs. Mila A. Brown and Stephen Lineback

Separated in 1885 When Girl Married Against Family Wishes. Parted strands of ijgmily life were drawn together over 43 years this week when Mrs. Mila A. Brown, 73, 530 N. Lasalle St., and her brother, Stephen Lineback, 69, of Toledo, met. When Mila Rayl, a young widow, married Dr. Liscomb R. Brown at her home in Florence in 1885 and departed for her honeymoon in San Francisco, she went against the wishes of her family, and her husband in resentment forbade her writing to her people. Fourteen years later, at her home in D r nver, a young man who aroused in her a strange interest passed her door twice daily. Finally she wrote a secret letter to the woman who had bfeen her baby sister back at home in Florence. The sister wrote some letters herself, and the young man proved to be Mrs. Brown’s brother Harry, who had been seven years old when she left home. Three years ago, saddened by the death of a son in Colorado, the Browns came to Indianapolis. Last Christmas the brother John came to see her. But the Linebacks are a large and scattered family, and not until last Sunday, when Stephen came to Indianapolis with his brother Harry, was the family reunion completed. “Well it’s nice to see my little brothers again,” said Mrs. Brown.

DEATH RATE IN CITY GREATLY UNDERAVERAGE Figure Here Is Far Below General One in Midwest Municipalities. Indianapolis had the lowest death rate of any Midwest city in 1927, Dr. Herman G. Morgan, city health board secretary, announced today. Dr. Morgan said the Indianapolis rate in 1927 was 60.6 persons for each 100,000 population, compared with an average rate of 73.7 for fifty-nine American cities with population of more than 30,000,000. Statistics compiled by Dr. Frederick L. Hoffman, Prudential Insurance Company statistician, show that the rate in the fifty-nine cities dropped from 174.4 persons for ach 100.000 in 1910 to the 1927 figure, i Drops Fast Here The 'local rate dropped from 3 persons for each 1,000 population to .82 in the last twenty years. Higher wages and better working conditions, resulting in less fatigue, and better nutrition were reasons given for the decline in tubercular disease fatalities, the Prudential survey showed. “Reduction in gross intemperance, relatively rare in recent years, also accounted in part for the decrease,” according to Dr. Hoffman. Dr. Morgan said the local drop could be traced to the extension educational activities in public welfare work. Public Better Educated “The public realized the importance of early treatmnt of tuberculosis, proper diagnosis and need for hygienic living. The dissemination of knowledge that tuberculosis is curable If taken in time has prevented many deaths,” Dr. Morgan said. Establishment of tubercular clinics in several sections or tne city greatly has reduced local mortality. Each of the clinics is equipped with facilities for treating early caoes and is directed by a tuberculosis worker and nurse. The clinic plan enables city health officers to discover cases early, so that proper treatment can be provided. Dr. Morgan commended facilities at Sunnysidc for treating advanced cases.
