LOCATION OF THE STATE HOSPITAL
Question VIII Probably Soon be Set
tied by New Board Of Control.

The question of the location of the
state hospital for consumptives, SION
10 be established, is yet an open one.
1t will doubtless be settled as soon as
the board of control of the institution
is appointed by Governor Warner next
month, when the law becomes operative.
There has been much discussion as TO
the proper place for such an institution,
many persons seeming TO be impressed
with the idea that it should be located
in some out-of- the-way place, far re-
moved from n community of any size.
Because of the belief a number of in
accessible places have been suggested.
Those professional men who have made
a careful study of the matter, however,
are unanimously of the opinion that
this idea is erroneous They believe
that the hospital should be where it will
be of easy access, so that invalids will
not wear themselves out reaching it,.
Open air treatment will be the feature
of the institution.

If half that may be read is true, Cor

magnifcence. The powerful story,
voiced by those forming one of the larg-

the presentation of "A Royal Slave"

the warrant being still out for his arrest,
and he will be taken if he ever comes
into the county again.
Gartung plead earnestly for his release
and it was thought best to let him go
with the express understanding that he
is in no way agent for the Herald, or
any other paper in the county in fact,
and never was authorized to transact
any business for il.

The buildings are large, well ventilated

ample room for all resident pupils as

ance of nonresident pupils, which is
