State As I.ifeSaver.

Maryland will go into the business of
saving lives in June on Loop Mountain,
Frederick county, with the Maryland Tu-
berculosis Sanatorium, which will be one
of the best lifesaving stations for con-
sumptives in the country, the services of
DR.. Bayard T. Crane, formerly of Massa-
chusetts, one of the most prominent eX-
perts in the treatment OF consumption in
the United States, and the Endorsement
of the citizens of the State, who have at
last realized that the death of 5000
Marylanders every year from this plague
must be diminished.
Several hundred men are now bringing
the administration and infrmary building
to completion, so that the first score of
patients may be received June |.
Maryland bought Loop Mountain, near
Sabillasville, as site for the lifesaving
station after inspecting every other site
suggested. The summit of the mountain
overooks the beautiful Hanover and Get
tysburg Valleys and is in the midst of one
of the most picturesque mountainous sec
tions in the State. 1t is !, 450 feet above
the sea level and it's climatic and geo.
graphical advantages are equal to any
existing sanatorium east of the Rocky
Mountains. The mountain, has an un-
limited supply of water of unquestion-
able purity, and is capable of good drain
age.
For building the Sanatorium and pre-
pairing it for the reception of 200 patients
the State has appropriated since 1906
$685., 900. Because only $40, 900 was ap-
propriated for maintenance for 1908 and
$50, 900 for maintenance for 1909 the pa
tients who are received at the lifesavng
station for the first year or two will have
to pay 49, SO week to help defray the
running expenses.
1t is estimated that at least 500, 900 6
year is necessary to treat 200 persons
