Sseisssium Prospects,.

The La Junta Sanitarium Associ-
alton. composed of the practicing
physicians of this city. is making a
determined effort just now looking
towards the establishment Of the
proposed hospital and sanitarium.
Nothing definite has been done as
yet. but matters have begun to
assume shape and the promoters are
sanguine of success. The associa-
ton is at present negotiating with
the Sisters Of Charity and it is posi-
BILE that they will establish and
take charge of the institution. This
order now has hospitals at Pueblo,
Trinidad and other cities in this
state. On account of the proposed
establishment by the Mennonites of
a tubercular sanitarium near Swink
that feature of the La Junta project
has been abandoned.

The following where moral Is
clearly shown is taken from a coun-
try exchange: Recently church
congregation in a little Kansas
town built a church. To pay
for it they were obliged to
call on the merchants of the COM
munity for donations. The mer-
chants responded literally and 1900
was raised from this source. The
last man asked to subscribe was
John Smith. a jeweler. Il will give
s. if you will let me add something
to the subscription list" he said.
The permission was granted him
and he wrote at the foot of the list;
John Smith. jeweler, s..
Sears. Roebuck and Co. 80.
Montgomery Ward and Co. 80.
The church people saw the point
when the minister read from the
pulpit the list Of donors TO the build
ing fund. and since the dedication Of
the church there have been no mail
orders sent out from that Kansas
town.

The members Of the Fortnightly
Club held a profitable session at
the home Of Mrs. ID. X. McCune last
Saturday afternoon. All of the
papers showed thorough preparation
and a wide knowledge Of the sub
jects. The vocal music was excep-
tionally pleasing.
Mrs. McCune. in a brief paper.
entitled Christmas and New Years
in Russia" contrasted the holiday
scene of that country with the
American celebration and fully out
lined the extensive preparations and
unique customs. Mrs. Mosher gave
a full resume of Russian education.
II was clearly demonstrated that it
is the policy of the government to
furnish instruction for the rich and
amusement for the poor. The worst
feature of the educational system is
the school Of middle rank taught BY
the village priest. The excellence
Of the eight large universities is too
well known to require exposition.
The youth Of the noble families. as

their native tongue but speak

Open Air VS.. Tuberculosis

AT the experimental farm station at

cattle. There seems to be no doubt
us to the conclusion that close anC
poorly ventilated stables are most pro
productive of conditions favOring Tho
spread of this dreaded disease Of stock
as well as humans. The conclusion
that cattle running out and into al
open shed atwill do the best, has been
quite generally reached by SouttI
Dakota farmers. In fact it has come
to be the practice with successful.
breeders and feeders Of cattle
in this country to give them
the "opeu air" treatment. People
who have stabbed their cattle The
most carefully soon learned that il
was a mistake. Shelter from the
wind, rain or snow is the main thing
to provide for in the way of stabling.

1t is said that a considerable party

admitted to be superior, in many re-

it will be homesteaded in the next two
