In kansas from 1909-1911, there was a surge in public health services trying to prevent diseases and epidemics. At this time Smallpox, Cholera, Scarlet Fever, diphtheria, epidemic cerebro-meningitits, measles and tuberculosis were some common diseases. In Hiawatha, Kansas a series of rules were set to prevent the further spread of disease. Sick people must contact their health officer, be treated by a physician, and become quarantined from the public. If the disease becomes an epidemic, all public and private schools must close. People recovering from the disease were not allowed on streets, highways, places of public amusement, churches, or other private houses. Children were restricted from schools, and adults were not allowed near children. In Wichita, 63 people died from measles, 19 from scarlet fever, and 1 from tuberculosis.
