SIOUX CITY , Jan. : ! . ( Special. ) There Is
talk here of having one of the members of
tlie legislature from Woodbury county In
troduce a bill providing for the punishment
of anyone who proteases to cure disease
by Christian Science ,
In many quarters In Sioux City especially
there Is a bitter feeling against this faith ,
due to the fact that within the last few
weeks several deaths have occurred follow
ing the so-called treatment by the local
reader. Three little children have died of
disease , having had no medical attention.
One had diphtheria. Only yesterday an
other very young child died of pneumonia ,
Its parents being Scientists , and no phy
sician having been called. Several grown
people have died under the shadow of their
faith and without any attention from doc
tors or medicines to relieve pain.
Christian Scientists arc- becoming nu
merically stronger In this vicinity nnd
should such a measure be Introduced In the
legislature it undoubtedly would precipi
tate a lively content.

From these reports the disease Is shown

more malignant than any which has ap
peared in Iowa for ninny years. Out of
