HOUSE INFECTION.

The most important, and by all means,
the principal factor in producing tubercu-

house disease" The cOnsinptive spends
his ',et years in tho house, often IN 4

large cities is a possible source of dam
ger, certainly indirectly, If not directly,
but for every case infected with viru-

probably ten thousand who contract Tho

OF paramount Importance in the treatment
of tuberculosis 1T has not been shown
that q dry atmosphere is any better than
Il moist one. or that Il warm climate is
any better than a cold one. Indeed some
of tho best results that have ever been
obtained were accomplished in Canada
and in the Adirondack, where tho cold
at certain seasons of the year is intense.
Altitude Is another condition that IS not n
requisite for the successful treatment Of
tuberculosis. although other things being
equal IL moderate elevation of 800 to 1000
feet is beneficial in many cases.
The one great requisite OF any climate
Is pure sir, free from dust and contamina-
ton. When pure air is combined with
good food. wise medical supervision, and
proper control Of the patient, good results
are assured almost anywhere, irrespective
of climate or elevation. Many suitable
locations can be found IN every county
in Vermont. The only question is in re-
gard to their acccssibity

lGXPENSE

To estimate the cost, either Of the plant
or Of tho running expenses Of sanator~
lurn suitable for our needs, IS difficult
This arises from the fact that informa-
ton OF this kind SO far as II relates 10
private institutions is not published, and
the only available statistics from state
sanatoria are scarcely useful TO US, as Mt
present ali such information relates to
institutions very much larger than we
should contemplate or need.
Upon due consideration IT seems 10 US
that the sum Of sfo)o as recommended
by the New Hampshire commissioners
and voted BY its last Legislature, is a
conservative and fair estimate for the
site. building aud equipment Of an insti-
tuition sufficiently large for our immediate
needs.
The running expenses of a tubercu-
losis sanatorium, compared with other
public institutious. are large from the fact
that these patients require large amounts
Of expensive food ana skilled attcndanc"
For an institution accommodating fifty
patients the running expenses should not
exceed fifteen 20 eighteen thousand dol
lars per annum, about onc-half Of whicf
should be paid by the patients.
We respectfully submit the following
conclusions:

cation.
$S,75O-On a lettered street near 18th;
new house, three-story; ~ feet
wide and 100 feet deep to a paved
alley; the house is four rooms
deep; modern bath room, hot
water heat; cellar under the en-
tire house; handsome mantels;
the house alone would cost this
much to build.
$S,5O-Q street NV. near Dupont Circle,
nearly new, three stories, recep-

pered, cabinet mantels; delight
full location, near mansions cost
ing from $4,000 to $4,000.
V,OOO-Near the Walsh mansion, new
house, handsome front of Roman
brick, three stories, parlor, re-
ception hall, dining room, pantry
and kitchen on the first floor,
three bed rooms and bath on the
second; three bed rooms and bath
on che third; numerous cabinet
mantels; open fireplaces; tiled
hearths; beautiful chandeliers;
electric gas lightings;- a few steps
from cars; surrounded by many
elegant residences; rare chance
to locate In this fashionable sec
ton at a comparatively small
outlay.
$7,250-Near the British embassy, a we'll
constructed house, built by one OF
the best builders In Washington,
who has reputation of building
only first-class houses; others
in the row held at $4,000; one or
two sold within the past few
years at about that figure. This
house was taken in an exchange
for country property; the present
owner needing cash will sell at
sacrifice; heated by a frst-class
hot-water plant; porcelain bath
tub, all modern convenienceS; the
house is trimmed throughout in a
frst-class manner; the surround
1ngs are good, and for a home or
an investment, we doubt if there
is anything as valuable in Wash
ington considering the choice Ioca-
ton.
S., 2O0-A three-story, nine-room brick
dwelling on 18th ST., with q cell
lar, new plumbing, porcelain tub,
good size lot, house in first-class
condition $500 was refused for
this house about six months ago;
the owner about to leave Wash
lngton will now sell at this re-
duced price; an immediate pur-
chaser will secure a bargain; the
surroundings are good, and we
believe it is one of the best prop
critics for the money that has been
offered yet west of 14th st. See
US about it..
$6,OOo-A ten-room corner dwelling, cor
ner of a numbered and lettered
street, lot 50x10O, furnace heat;
this is an extremely low price for
such large property. $500 re-
Gently loaned at low rate of in
terest by conservative trust
company. The property was ap-
praised at 81 800; good reasons for
Offering at such sacrifice. Room
for one or more houses on the lot.
s., 200-A delightfully."- situated house,
fronting on a circle, a convenient
section northwest; built to sell for
$1,000; the builder having moved
to California, offers this house at
sacrifice; there are eight rooms,
reception hall, cellar, attic, fur
mace heat, modern plum bling, par
quet floors. porches side yards,
wide parking; pleasant outlook; a
very cheap home or good invest
ment.
