WICHITA. Kas. De I—In on#
of the strangest communities in th<
world two score men live on th<
outskirts of Wichita as brothers suf-
fering a common misery.
These are the men who live a
Sedgwick county's Jake-leg’ farm
on county property shared by th<
tuberculosis camp and hospital.
They all are cripples sufferers o;
that strange paralysis that earn*
trom a counterfeit Jamaica gmgei
that struck principally m Kansas
Oklahoma and Oeorgia with dev
astating force They refuse to giv<
up although medical science offer
them no hope of a complete or ever
partial cure. Though bitter some
times they are cheerful Joking com-
panions on the whole.

The principal reason for Jaice-

; have to mix with other dependent*
j at the poor farm or with other ill
persons at the county hospital. For
that matter they do not need hos-
pitalization for there is nothing a
doctor can do for them.
This is one of Kansas most eco-
nomically run institutions. The rea-
son is that the resident* ol Jake-
tcwn do all their own work Some of
them are not capable of doing am

"With some the trouble seemed
to stop before it went above the
knee With others nerve centers In
the back were attacked and I don't

To while away the time the pa-
tients indulge In many sorts of hand-

been made by Uncle Sam to pros-

None went to prison A few druggist*
