A Salem Boys Health Restored.

So weak that 1t was necessary 10 lII
him to his berth when be boarded the
tain for Denver, Colo, j. E. Mct'ad-
den left St. Louis three years ago, after
having lain for six months at the st.
Luke's Hospital with typhoid-2neumo-
MIA and tuberculosis indicated. AS his
relatives bade him good bye at the
Union station they did so with the
belief that they would never see him
again alive.
Last week young McFaddin returned
to St. Louis strong man, healthier
than he'd ever been and in shaking
hands he has grip OF steel.
McFaddin came from Sumter, S. G.
He had been in St. Louis one year
when he was taken i'll. He came to
St. Louis to visit his brother, George
W. McFaddin of 3642 Lindell boule-
ward. He obtained a position with the
Never Bros. Drug Co., working at his
chosen profession, and lived with his
brother, who had made St. Louis his
home some years previous.
At ST. Luke's Hospital young Nc
Faddin was under the care Of DR.. Wal
ter Baumgarter and when it became
evident that he would get no better
here DR.. Baumgarter recommended
that he seek higher altitude. When
McFaddin entered the Oak Sanltarlum
at Denver he could not walk without
assistance, and then but for a short
distance.
HE LIVED OUTDOORS.
He remained at the Oak Ssnitarium
four months and then went to the
Avery ranch, near Beulah, WYo. Beu-
lah is located near the boundary of
South Dakota and is 100 miles from the
Roosevelt ranch, where the President
became strong man, spending several
wears on ranch with cowboys.
There is fire residence on the Avery
ranch. which is a resort for tourists, but
McFaddin was not allowed to live in
the building and q tent was pitched
near by. where he slept and rested in
the open air. To regain his health he
was told he must spend both day and
night in the open air, even IN the most
severe weather.
He began taking short walks and took
to hunting and fishing as soon as he had
gained enough strength to shoulder a
rod or gun. Sand Creek runs through
the Avery ranch and it contains the
finest trout fishing in the country. Nc
Fadden began riding in the Grand Can
Won when he was able to straddle
horse and it was not long until he was
able to assist the cowboys in their rQu-
tine work.
He took advantage of the homestead
law and put in claim for $50 acres in
the Grand CANYON. He built little
one-story house near large cliff and
beside the Sand Creek. The house was
equipped with stove, a bed, cooking
utensils and other household effects
which were necessary to the require
ments of the law in setting a home
stead.
LIKED LIFE ON RANCH.
McFadden went into the ranching
business and he is now a seasoned COW
boy, can ride with the toughest in the
West, can hunt and shoot with the best
of them, and is stalwart young man of

his ranch and expects to experiment in
cold mining when he returns.
