THE FRESH AIR CURE.
Results of the Out-of-DOOr Treatment
Are Highly Encouraging.

Boston EWING Transcript.
The discovery of a cure for the physical
ills of life generally carries with it the
suggestion of how to prevent them. The
open air treatment for consumptives APP
pears to be an instance in point. The out
door plan which has been adopted in a
great many hospitals, in which those suf-
fering from this malady are cared for, is
spreading rapidly, and its results are high
ly encouraging. 1t has now begun to be
used in the tuberculosis infirmary on Black
wells Island, N. Y. Under the old methods
the sending of a consumptive patient to
this place was merely keeping up appear
ances. He rarely, if ever, returned alive.
Now about 35 per cent of them greatly
improve, and some entirely recover, though
the patients belong to a class that in their
own environment are badly nourished and
insufficienty clad and are poorly prepared
to Withstand the encroachments of this
insdious disease.
At the infirmary they receive that which
has been denied them In their own homes
plenty of clothing TO protect them from the
cold and plenty of pure air. They sleep in
tent cottages, which is about the same as
sleeping under the open sky, and many of
them continued to do that during the re-
cent cold snap, not only with no unpleas-
ant results. but with positive and de-
l1ghttul sense OF remuneration. MaSSa-
chusetts took the lead in exploiting this
new idea and her example is being widely
followed. Not only has ii been adopted
for charity patients in New York, but insti-
tutions intended for a higher class of suf>
ferers are putting it into practice
But if these conditions work improve
ment for the delicate sick why may they
not act as a means of maintaining health
in the we'll and strong? 1t seems to be
the opinion in some expert quarters that
they can. Sleeping out of doors, or al least
in apartments that amount to that, is
growing in favor. The physical director at
Lassell Seminary has great faith in it, and
has experienced much benefit from the
practice. We may call it a fad, If we will,
but il is one for which excellent reasons
can be urged. 1t is perhaps necessary to
employ some of these extreme illustra tons
and demonstrations TO win civilized man
back to right relations with kindly mother
Nature, against whose wise ministratiOnS,
and especially her prOfusey bestowed life
and health giving tonic, he too often rebels.
The gospel of fresh, pure and abundant
air is the most important in the whole
testament to health. In the primitive days
il was impossible to keep il out of our liv-
ing places, and that accounted for the
vigorous bodies of those who did not have
the benefit of modern medical science to
save themselves from themselves. 1t is a
fairly sane assertion that a really healthy
family is rarely found in a home from
which fresh air is sedulously excluded,
while in those houses where il is permitted
to enter continuously and freely, provision
being taken for warmth, sickness is COM
paratively rare.

a provision in its bylaws which gives the
club the privilege of electing man an as
sociate member from any trade or profess
sion providing it pertains 70 the manutac-
turing business. This club, unlike most
organizations. is not clamOring for MEM
bers, but its doors are ever open to ac-
ceptable applicants.
The club meets, on the second Tuesday
evening Of each month and these meeting
nights are quite notable as social affairs,
for a din1er is served on each occasion.
the expense of which is paid out of the
general fund of the club. However, each
member must notify the secretary of his
intention to be present. so that proper
provision will be made for him. 1t is in
this way that the club promotes both the
social and business side of the affair, for
after the dinner is over business of
serious nature is taken up.
The only purely local nature of the club
is the social side While this feature has
been a source of benefit and pleasure to
the manufacturers of Indianapolis, it is by
no means the only advantage of this organ
ization, for it has the business side united
with the social. The club has it's serious
work, too, and the greatest benefits have
been derived by the manufacturers of this
State from the organizations efforts in
connection with State and municipal legis-
lation. In respect to this work this club
bears the same relation to the State of
Indiana as the National Manufacturers
Association bears to the United States. 1t
is indeed in the heid of legislation where
the club has shown it's worth to the manu-
facturers of the State. In many instances
bills have been introduced into the State
Legislatures which would have been harm
full to the various industries and to the
public at large, and the members of the
Legislature were ignorant of any harm
in the bills until they were pointed out TO
them by this association.
In 1899, 1901, and 1903 the club took an
active part, through an efficient committee,
in resisting what is commonly known as
pernicious and vicious legislation, and was
successful in preventing the enactment of
a number of measures which would have
done great harm TO the manufacturing in
terests of the State. Leading members of
both houses of the State Legislature have
credited the manufacturers organization
with having more influence, ana being
fairer in its objections and more just in its
requests, than any other organization APP
pearing before the Legislature. In fact,
the members of this body depend to a GER
tain extent, 1t Is claimed. upon the Man
ufacturers' club for suggestions in the way
of proper legislation concerning the manu-
featuring Industries.
1.-The clubs position in matters of legis-
lation," said one of the members, has been
principally a negative one; however, the
club has in certain instances favored the
passage of bills in the interest of manufac-
turers. We have been aware for a num-
Der of years that the manufacturers of this
State have suffered an unjust burden in the
matter of fire insurance rates. During the
session of the Legislature of 1903 We put up

Company.
matters of general interest to industries
of this class.
A member in speaking of the work of the
club said:
I'm view of the good that has already
been accomplished by the organization and
the possibilities for further good by IN
creasing the membership it is desired par
ticularly between now and the conven-
ing of the next State Legislature that the
local membership should be greatly In
creased, and that also the nonresident list
of members should be enlarged so that the
clubs organization shall be felt in all parts
of the State l think that local members
have surely received full value in the way
of social and business benefits, and as the
dues from the nOnresidents are quite nomi-
nal there should be more interest taken in
the club by the manufacturers of the State
at large. They have already been benefited
by the labor of the club, and every financial
and moral support within the power of the
manufacturers of the State of Indiana
should be accorded the club for its future
work"
The Manufacturers club is not an organ
ization that seeks notoriety of any kind,
and does not make great plans for the
future, but, as one of the officers said, sim
ply goes along and let's things develop, and
when the different questions arise, diSpOSeS
of them as best ii can. There is never any
thing brought up concerning the interests
of the manufacturers that is not discussed
before this body and action taken upon it in
the way which SENS the most just. 1t is
contended by the officers of this club that
it will only be few years until every man.
ufacturing concern of any Importance in the
State will be represented at its meetings
as from year to year the manufacturers
of the State are realizing the Importance
of the work that the association is taking
up. and for this reason are continually
coming into ii. This is not only true of
local manufacturing concerns, but pertains
to those all over the State.
The officers of the club are elected each
year at the meeting held in February. The
following are serving at the present time:
c. C.. Hanch, president; T. b. Laycock, vice
president; w. Z. lockwood. vice president:
II. L. Beveridge, vice president; II. T. Ben
nett, secretary; II. o. Smith, treasurer.

T-RoBABIY one of the most pros
- porous organizations in the city,
or State for that matter. is the
Mx14m Manufacturers club. 1t was
s<-Az@AAS organized in 1898, and. as Is ex
pressed in the constitution. the principal
purpose OF the club is the promotion, by
social intercourse and exchange Of views,
Of the prosperity Of the manufacturing
business OF Indianapolis and Of Indiana.
Since the organization Of the club its
growth has been phenomenal, and by the
harmonious work of the members they
have effected a number OF benefits for the
manufacturers Of the city and State at
large. The membership has been steadily
increasing in the last few months, and the
power for the club TO do good has increased
in proportion 10 its enlargement.
The membership list of this organization
contains the names of the majority OF man
ufacturers of the State. and here are also
number of its members who have at
tanned exinence in other walks of life be-
sides those of mere business-Governor
Durbin. Mr.. Hugh II. Hanna, ex-Mayor
BookwaIter and a number of others. There
Is no organization in existence where the
members stand more closely together than
they do in this one. and during their meet
ings they maintain a dignity that becomes
gentlemen of that station in life.
