FOR
CONSUMPTIVES
New tuberculosis Building at Farnhurst VIII Be
Opened for Inspection by the Public TomOr-
xoW-First Institution of Kind to be
Erected ia This Country

The new tuberculosis Hospital at
Farnhurst Is about completed and will
be opened for inspection tomorrow,
when the Board of Trustees of the
Delaware State Hospital for the Insane
holds its monthly meeting.
Although no special program has
been arranged, the occasion is one Of
great interest to officials OF the institu.
tion and IN fact all Delawareans. as it
is the first hospital to be built in this
country especially for insane con-
sumptives. 1t may be that number
of officials from similar institutions in
other States win be present to inspect
the new building, as the fact that such
a structure is being built here has al
ready attracted wide attention.
First of the Kind.
Omcers Of the State Hospital have
reason to feel doubly proud Of the tu-
berculosis addition. not only because il
is the first permanent home for insane
persons suffering with the disease. but
also because it has been erected with
practically no cost whatever to the
State. Il was built with the funds re-
ceived from pay patients, and the total
cost viii probably be between $1,000
and $4,000.
DR.. Haneker Deserves Credit.
Dr. William H. HancIer superinten-
dent Of the State Hospital, deserves a
great deal Of the credit for the cree
tion OF separate building for the con-
sumntives Of the institution. Dr.
Hancker has advocated such a build
ing for several years. claiming that
about six per cent. Of the inmates suf-
fered with this malady. He contended
that as il was undeniable that the dis
ease is contagious. isolation was an
imperative necessity.
The Board Of Trustees took up the
matter and after careful consideration
awarded the contract for the erection
OF the building to A. S. Reed & Bro.
Company about a year ago and ground
was broken on November 81 Of last

No Yet Ready For Patients.

A reporter for the Evening Journal
visited Farnhurst yesterday and was
shown through the new building by DR..
aancke-. she superintendent stated
that although the building viii be for
milly opened on Thursday It viii
probably not be ready TO receive pa
tients before the first Of the year, as
Il is yet to be furnished. He explained
that the cost of the structure is paid
out Of funds received from patients
who pay for their treatment and as
there Is no large surplus from this
source. the furnishing could not be
done at once.
Dr.. Hancker stated that considerable
expense was saved owing to the fact
that some Of the patients did most of
the rough labor work. A number of
the inmates Of the State Hospital were
engaged yesterday in smoothing the
waxed floors of the new building and
seemed to enjoy the work.
Building Faces South.
The building is about sixty yards
north OF the main hospital and faces
directly - the south so that 1t win get

dimensions are 1877 1-2 by As feet. It is
built Of stone TO the first floor, with
cypress sides and shingled roof. There

which makes the outside appearance
particularly attractive.

The interior Of the hospital is thor
oughly up TO date and modern in all
its appliances. There is maple flooring
through the entire building, which has
been waSed so that it can be easily
cleaned without leaving any foul odor
