The Modern woodmen Of America are
preparing to start great sanatorium
near Colorado Springs, Colo, for the pur-
pose of fighting the great white plague
among it's own members. A thousand
acres of land have been bargained for and
the buildings will be erected and all
preparations made for caring for the af-
| 1icted as soon as the work can be done.
A committee of five noted physicians went
all over the country to pick out the best
| climate for the sanatorium and finally
decided upon the big tract of land near
Colorado Springs. The place is ideally
| situated among the foothills, and when
the new undertaking becomes a reality
will be great boon to the afflicted MEM
bers of the order.

Head Consul A. r. Talbot, while in the
office of Golden State camp, gave Clerk
j I. Taylor hustler button which he
had been wearing for some time Neigh
Dor Taylor thinks great deal of that
button and money could not buy it from
him. Coming as it did from the lapel
of the coat of the leader of the order, the
button represents more than it's cost
price.
