by distance, he raised his head little and chuckled, then resumed his work which was the driving of . largs plug into the end of an immense log sub merged in the water.
 "O-o-o, Pomp! Massa swine scorch you if you ain't hurry quick!' came the voice more sharply. He say you gettin' trihin' an no count" The stone was poised for an instant. then descended with two or three de 1iberate taps which completed the work. Pomp examined the end of the log critically. The plug was driven in level with the. rest of the wood, so that to an average observer there was no sign that 1t had been tempered with. Even Pomp seemed satisfied for he chuckled again and started hack in leisurely way toward the quarters.

Allow me to make a suggestion.
The hospital, which will be under the
care of the Sisters, which is now well
under way to completion will soon be
ready to lake care of patients. We
all know, that the Sisters any and
everywhere in the United States
make no discrimination in accepting
patients as far as their religion is
concerned.
If I understand right the Sisters
intend to take care of such who are
afflicted with tuberculosis or consump-
ton. Why not then, (as my sugges-
tion) have the Commercial Club cor
respond with the Sisters who are to
take charge of the hospital and as
certain what could be done in this
matter, that they could have a Tent
City in connection with their institu-
And if this could be properly
adjusted, that the City Council enact
suitable and proper rules and regula-
tons, for the hospital authorities, in
order that the authorities may en-
force such rules under protection of
the city.
Then the City officials, knowing
that such rules are strictly enforced,
would nave good reasons, to enact
bylaws, as for example to pro-
libit, that consumptives erect tents
the city limits (if this could
awfully be done) or other rules of
nature.
Thanking you for the valuable
space for this communication.

A Communications.


Editor of Record.
Your article in the Record giving
a statement regarding the Tent City
near Santa Fe was, 40 doubt, recon,
mended by many of the citizens OF
a move, hat is, to have a Tent City
for such, who come to our city, afiict
ed with lung troubles.
1t would be a benefit for the en-
tire community in general, and for
those who come here seeking lost
health in particular, to have a place
where tubercular cases may be prop
erly treated.
Your suggestion, however, that it
should or could be conducted by the
Commercial Club, in my opinion
would not be advisable, as the idea
of the Commercial Club is not to at
tend to any such institution, but rath
er to get some parties interested,
who would make it their duty to at
tend to such an affair, from a bust
ness standpoint as we'll as an in
stitution beneficial for such who
would come under their care.
1 have travelled considerable thro'
the United States, and noticed at
lions were and are conducted sys-
tematically, are a success. At FIT.
Stanton, N. M, about rs to 80 miles
west of Roswell, we have an example
of an institution of this kind. The
government has there a tent city in
connection with the general hospital
for consumptives of the "Tars' of
the Merchant Marines. Strict rules
eft are enforced, as for instance,
strict prohibition of expectorating on
any part Of the premises, cremation
of sputum and other excrements,
daily sterilizing of cuspidors carried
by each individual patient, disinfec-
ton of rooms and the like.
Unless similar rules could be
strictly enforced at an institution ad-
vocated by the Record, it would be
useless and even harmful to have a
socalled Tent City, here.

ever heard of him before he rushed
