SPECIAL -SANITARIUM NUMBER.
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

and fraternal orders in this country, the
corner stones of which are brothrely
love, friendship, charity and benevo-
lence, prominent men occupying
high positions in nearly all these organ
izations, men who are thoroughly identi-
fled with and earnestly interested in its
success. The intention is to ask each
of these organizations to contribute one
dollar per month each, the amount is in
significant to each lodge but the aggre-
gate amount is very large. This mon
ey will be used for the benefit of these
various societies and any one sent by
these lodges will have the best care and
treatment that this association can pro-
vide, A block of ground will be set
aside to any lodge or society, or all Of
them who wish to erect memorial or
other buildings for the benefits of their
brethren: the only condition being that
they conform to the rules and regula
tions of the association.
The grounds will also be donated to
any church of any denomina.
ton, any benevolent association
any philanthrop.c individual who desires
to erect and MAINTAIN memorial build
ing or buildings. The association will
erect as soon as practicable a commodi-
GUS administration building as head quart
ers for the managers nurses and doctors
where those who desire to have what
they want and are able to pay for it
in the most comfortable manner. The
next important improvement will be to
lay off large plot of ground with a
plaza or square in the center, this
square will be surrounded by fifty or
more neat artistic cottages with nice
sidewalks beautifed by shade trees,
lawns and flowers and last but not least
Deming's pure crystal waters raised
and flowing through it to give addition
al life and beauty to the whole. The
occupants Of these cottages would be
required to pay reasonable rent and
can live at home, but they will have the
care of the sanitarium physicians and
nurses. From this plot of ground broad
avenues will be laid out and trees plant
ed and watered and a cheaper class of
less expensive cottages will be built
and furnished to occupants of less
means at nominal rent, in fact just
enough to keep up repairs and insu.
, rance. Still another class of cottages
, will be built and given rent free fol
those who are entirely unable to pay
Then it is the purpose of the associa
q tion to provide hundreds and if necess
: airy thousands Of tents in order to ac
q commcdlte those especially requiring
a out door and open air quarters. 1t il
:. also part of the plan of the associa
q tion to lay off small plots Of ground EN-
9 bracing from l-2 to 5 acre blocks and t,
A give free use of these block
y for gardens, orchards vineyards etc
= in order that all who are able may be
). come as nearly as possible self sustain
% ing, there will be no rentals charge,
9 for these grounds, but the occupant
a like all Others must conform to tn
h rules of the association. This muc
q for our present plans.
a Now ladies and gentlemen of Deming
"a we wish to state most emphaticql
that we have pitched our tents wit
a you and tell frankly that we came her
!, because the conditions were favor
= able for our association and for the re
~ lief and cure of tuberculosis and not fC
u any financial consideration. In ou
n search for the best place to locate "
~ have found many places where favol
a, able conditions existed but you have
4 addition with these conditions, pul
y. water and ample railroad facilities ar
n these two last items decided us in fixin
nv permanent location here. Our anal,
re sis show eOnsumptive baccilla cam,
10 live here-you might gather up ha
nj bushel of this germs and dump the
IN in your streets and they will be dei
he before night and blown away. You cor
a. plain Of the little winds and sand storm
se you have here, but accept the stu
ne ton wind and all, and tell you tn
"a the wind Is one Of the essential elemen
90 without which we would not want yo
~ location.
tic Now as to the benefits to your lit
