Iowa State Hospital for Inebriates to Close Within Sixty Days
The state hospital for inebriates at Knoxville is expected to discontinue within sixty days as per the state board of control. Opened January 18, 1906, it now houses twelve inmates who entered for drug use but are to be discharged. The total treated has fallen since Iowa went dry January 1, 1916, and national prohibition strengthens the dry spell effects.
