More Praises For Southern Sol
diers' Home.

Located about a mile from old Fort
Monroe, upon broad expanse of nav
igable water at about the point where
the waters of the James River flow
down and mingle with the waters of
the Chesapeake. thence out into the
ocean, the site and natural surround
ings of the Soldiers Home at Hamp-
den are indeed ideal, the assembling
of at intervals in the ofiing in full
view, of floating giants of war be-
decked with banners and bunting,
booming and belching forth the regu-
lation salute, makes glad many an old
sailors heart, discard the crutch and
cane. laugh away rheumatic pains, and
execute the Sailors Horn Pipe and
the Reel.
On the other side near by looms up
that mangiticently equipped establish
ment, the Newport News Shipbuilding
and Construction Company's plant,
where can be seen at all times wonder
Gus specimens of ships of war and
floating palaces in all stages of con-
struction. In the words of Westphal
II must confess, that l was much
discouraged upon coming to the Home,
from vague reports and mistaken in
formation, and reasoned and debated
long aud earnestly as TO whether it
would be better to fly to sorrows
about which knew but little, or con-
tinue to suffer and live on with those
of which | had a slight acqquaint-
ance 1t is indeed too true that some
few years ago, outside the guarded
gates, sharks appeared in human form
and in large numbers, opened up their
foul channels of vice, erected their
bulkheads of crime, to catch the weary
comrade and his money-but you have
them in Annapolis. Now thank God,
the fiends have fed, leaving their
cribs and cottages for rent" 'for
sale, and only the better class of cit
liens remain.
With reference 10 the Christian life
of the inmates here cannot do better
than give you the nightly vision, the
g. 30 dream of love, the bowed head,
the Bonded knee and lips moving in
silent prayer for loved and absent
ones, without creed or dogma, but
who, with trusting souls as Stanly
sings "Believe the Good Old Bible
From Beginning to The Ead" others
counting their beads with reverence
and precision, breathing forth the
earnest prayer in silence, then crossing
the breast within which beats the
true and trusting heart. Virtues are
not paraded in public to hide their
malice and deceipt, but between them
there exists common bond of COM
radeship, which calls forth truth and
honest dealing indeed. the habits and
the morals here will compare most IA
vorably with those of an equal number
of men in any community in the land,
where all, or nearly all, have passed
the chloroforming period and await
with calmness and contentment the
echo of the DOCTORS summons. s. j.

ANY Vermonter who either through
carelessuess or overshadowing business

State in which we live should verbally

now clad in their beautiful autumnal
robes, and the brilliant and varied -hued
evergreen trees are interspersed with
dashes OF rich crimson and gold, russell
and brown. The panorama spread out
before the eyes of the visitor to any
lofty outlook is we'll calculated to cause
the beholder to be thankful for the
privilege and the blessing of living.

REDFIELD PROCTOR, JR.,
ON TUBERCULOSIS.
Himself Patient Recently, He Tells of
Treatment at Saranac Lake,
N. Y. Sanitarium.

Redfield Proctor, Jr, son of Senator
Proctor, who has given S150,000 for a
state tuberculosis sanitarium, writes in
the October Nermonter OF the maner of
treatment at Saranac Lake, n. y. Mr..
Proctor was in a sanitarium there sew
eral months. He writes in part as fol-
lows:
OF what does "the cure as the open
air treatment is spoken OF, consistl The
answer to this often-asked question is
to many surprising in its simplicity. Its
main features are complete rest, plenty
of pure air, and the best Of simple, nour-
fishing food. The sole secret lies in per-
fecting the general healf TO the highest
degree possible and in t.is way Nature
throws off the disease herself. Almost
no medicine is given. The patient rises
from to s o'clock in the morning and
has breakfast Immediately. Soon at
ter breakfast, by Q o'clock, he takes up
his station in reclining chair on a
porch or balcony. Here he remains quiet
IL until just before dinner which is US
uaIly at ! o'clock. The afternoon is
very similar to the forenoon, and supper
comes at 6. The patient may or may
not sit out in the evening as he sleeps
in room or out of doors. This Is the
regular life from day to day of patient
who is able to be dressed but not able
to walk If patient is confined to his
bed, the latter may be rolled on to a
balcony, OF if this Is not possible he re-
mains in his room with the windows wide
open.
| One who persistently runs a tempera-
| ture of hundred or over is kept in bed
while many others are able to walk from
fifteen minutes TO an hour once or twice
day. Sleeping out of doors which is
SO much talked about of late. is not in
sisted upon by any OF the doctors, but Of
course plenty Of air in the sleeping room
| is required. In fact, the doctors advise
against sleeping out of doris unless after
a fair trial the patient finds he can sleep
lquite as long and restfully as in the
house. Many sleep out OF doors in the
summer who are not able to do SO in the
winter. One should not sleep in a
draught, although out OF doors it is ait
times quite difficult to keep the wind
from blowing on the bed. When sleep
ling in corner room open the windows
both ways but do not put the bed be-
tween them. Always open the window
some at both top and bottom, and il
possible open more than one window.
Cold is to most people stimulating, but
there is no particular virtue in extreme
lcold. If the room is perfectly aired,
nothing is gained in having the tempera-
ture below freezing. The writer has
slept many months out of doors on o
porch or in a corner COON from which
the windows had been removed. He has
: repeatedly read thermometer hanging
on the bed below zero, and at times

LOVE HIS UNDoING.
Fort Ethan Allen Soldier Said to Be in
Military Prison.

Worcester, Mass, Oct. 16..-Love for
young woman in Baltimore has ended
the military career of John T. Freed OF
this city, private in troop +, 18th q.
S. cavalry, who, according to stories that
have reached his friends in this city,
is now serving sentence of year at
hard labor in the military prison at fort
Jay, in New York harbor, with loss of
pay and all allowances and dishonorable
discharge from the army coming wb~a
the prison sentence is finished.
Young Freed, who was an opticianA -
fore he enlisted in the regular army,
joined the army in the Worcester re.
cruiting station May 5th, 1905, and was
assigned to the cavalry at fort Ethan
Allen. He left the fort July ! without
permission and came back to Worcester,
where he hung around for few days
finally giving himself up at the local re-
cruiting station and asking for. trans
portation to Fort Ethan Allen. This
was given him and he returned to his
post, where he was let off with fine.
His infatuation for a Young Baltimore
woman was SO strong that he left the
fort again in few days and went to
Baltimore, where he met his old sweet
heart and where he remained until
caught by the Baltimore police July 80,
He was turned over to the military
authorities at Fort McHenry, court mar
tailed for desertion and sentenced.
