sANITARIUM CURE HABIT.
Many Women in Health Imagine That
They Are Invalids.
From the Chicago Chronicle.

from the Cnicag0 CnfOu1cle.
Victims of the sanitarium habit. persons
whose health is at least fair, are to be
found In nearly every institution maintain
ed for the treatment of invalids. Such per-
sons are for all practical purposes we'll. but
imagine physical maladies to which they
can lay no just claim.
Most Of these persons at one time or an
other had disorders which caused them to
take refuge In a sanitarium. Now the mod

jority do to the patronage Of the wealthy.
is fitted up with every device calculated
ed to anticipate the patrons every wish; In
fact. the patron is expected to do nothing
except amuSe himself, and in order to
help him do so there are usually provided
billiard tables, bowling alleys shuttle
boards, card rooms, tennis courts and golf
links. And If he suffers from the silghtes.
i'll there is always doctor on hand to
soothe him and supply uostrums, the ne

Having been accustomed to the sheltered
life of the sanitarium, with its daily round
of coddling, the patron is .oath to leave

he is long on money and short on will the
chances are that he will postpone his de-
parture again and again. until at last re
settles down with the full intention of re-
manning indefinitely.
The probabilities are that in order to set
himself right with his conscience he will
endeavor to make himself believe that he is
still physically unfit to play an active part
in life, and naturally 1t Is not To the interest
of the sanitarium's proprietor to have him
updeceived.
By far the great majority OF the victims
OF the sanitarium habit are women. the
feminine nature being espe orally susceptible
to coddling. When a seni-inyaIf1 of the
fair sex once gets used to receiving a daily
visit from soft-spoken physician who ten
derry holds her hand and 1avishes upon her
sympathy and advice it is tliilic for her
to go back to life where such ex-

a moments notice.

some degree, but unless 1t was developed in
youth 1t is not apt to prove robust.
