city. DR.. j. II. kellogg. president OF the
Battle Creek Sanitarium and Dr. Paulson.
superintendent of the Chicago branch.
will be here Monday TO inspect the present
branch now open on North Market street
and confer with the members of the
Chamber of Commerce about erecting a
sanitarium in this city. DIR. kellogg viii
give lecture Monday night along sani-
tarilsss lines in the Toier Auditorium and
it il expected that before he leaves Wich-
ita he will have made complete arrange
ments 10 begin work at an early date
in this city ON the largest sanitarium in
the southwest
DR.. kellogg will reach Wichita early
Monday morning and will confer with
the board of directors of the Chamber
of Commerce members of that orsaniza-
>tion regarding the establishment of the
sanitarium here. The building and
grounds with the full equipment are to
cost al least twenty thousand dollars.
Wichita is TO furnish the ground for the
structure. The Kansas Sanitarium as
ISOLATION organized here year ago will
raise the balance of the fund necessary
to build and equip the building. Five
thousand dollars of this amount was
raised at meeting outside of Wichita
and the association which is composed of
men and women of influence and wealth
throughout the state are very anxious TO
get the business closed up and work start
ed on the structure
The branch of the association has been
established here year and il has en-
joyed a good business from people for
hundreds of miles around but the limited
accommodations prevent many from COM
ing to this city. Those who are in favor
of the Battle Creek SanitaTium idea are
watching very closely the movements
of the people of this city regarding the
sanitarium. Owing to the superior rail-
road accommodations the sanitarium peo-
pie want the branch here Topeka has
made a good offer TO the association to
come to that town but the association was
organized to build sanitarium IN Wic.l-
tia and they are determined to do so II
the people of this city will only give
them the encouragement
The building OF the sanitarium here will
represent an expenditure OF five thous-
and dollars in Wichita labor. If not even
a larger amount and thousand OF dollars
would be spent annually in this city by
people attending the sanitarium and the
running expenses of the Institution will
amount to several thousand dollars each
month. The sanitarium is an institution
that will grow and that rapidly. This is
the history of every sanitarium erected
as a branch of the Battle Greek associa-
ton.
DR.. kellogg is a speaker of no mean
ability He speaks clearly, conclusively
and brings out his points in a most con-
vincing manner His lecture Monday
evening will be along sanitarium lines
entirely and those who are interested
in this but who have not had an oppor-
tunity TO study them will have an ex-
ceptional opportunity 10 learn more about
one of the greatest factors in the health
Of the country if they will attend this
lecture at the Toler auditorium. 1t IS
free and the house should be crowded as
Dr. KelIog's talks will be found well
worth listening to even by those who
care little or nothing about sanitariums
