The Waco Day gives this kind no
tice of the Austin Sanitarium:
1.-The efforts of he Travellers Pro
tective Association to establish san
itarium in Austin is very important
matter and it should meet with en-
enlargement. An exchange says thai
the scheme contemplates the estab-
lishment Of such Sanitarium for the
temporary occupancy of commercial
travellers whose health has become
weakened and disordered by theil
arduous life on the road. In the large
cities one sees only the pleasanter side
Of the commercial travellers life; but
in the scantily populated sections OF
the country where accommodations
are of the most Elusive character, the
drummer has to encounter many hard
ships. Even an iron constitution
would be eventually injured by such
u life. The benefcent subject Just
preached ought therefore to meet
with encouragement all over the
country. To carry out the proposed
undertaking, it will be necessary to
raise a fund of 100000, and with this
in view honorary memberships will
he accepted by the Travellers Protec
tive Association, the proceeds to be
devoted TO the building O. the Santa
RUN. We do not think that this ap-
peal will be made in vain. The firms
that have built up Furnishing trade
through their enterprising drummers
will. we are satisfied, help the boys
out and enable them to realize theil
cherished project.
