ton is destined to be useful in the |
highest degree is apparent from the
things it has on it's list to do.
The first move of any importance is
the building of home for every sort
of afflicted person. The plans for this
institution are novel as well as bust
ness like. The aim is to acquire ten
acres or more of the splendid sight
on the bench northeast of the city and
there erect building of sufficient ca
pacity to house a score of patients,
and then surround the building with
used for those persons whose dis
eases are best treated in the open air.
1t is proposed to lay off the ground in
lots, and sell the lots to raise money
to build and equip the home. This
home is along the line of an up-to-
date hospital and will be in charge
of the very best men and women OBJ
tainable and will be farther overseen
by the best physicians in the coun-
try. The business plan connected
with the building of the premises
promises to be a success. The town
lots will sell for small sum to begin
with, with the evident fact that when
all are sold and the region being beau
titled, the lots will individually be
worth more than was paid for them in
the first place. This gives a splendid
feature to the project, for the reason
that one may spend his money in
something where it will always bring
at least as much as he put in it, and
at the same time not be an out-and-
out donation. If in later years or
months he feels hard up and would
like to get out the money he has put
into the institution, there will always
be another who will take his invest
ment off his hands. While the work
of the Singlehanders is that of reform
and human sympathy in it's largest
degree, there is to be a business prin-
ciple followed throughout in order
that those who are not able to pay
their way may be taken care of by the
goodness of the jewellers in the state.
1t is the purpose of the association
to draw to this beautiful place on the
heights all those who need the over
sight of physicians and nurses. The
tent village will be an inexpensive
place to dwell The finer months of
the year will throw the tents open to
those who need tenting. A family that
has an afflicted son or daughter who
otherwise must live in some unsani-
tary home where the family with ne
cessarily very poor judgment as tc
foods and baths and the kind and ma
ture of talk that should be dealt il
will bring their sick one to an at
mosphere of health and hope and re
covery. Everywhere about the place
will be impregnated with an air O
sunshine. The poor young consump
i've girl will be splendidly housed il
sanitary tent and will be allowed t.
see and hear nothing except that run
ming over with recovery and hope. TIL
young man will at once find that h
has come to the cheeriest place pos
l sible to find. His disease will have t
e go elsewhere. The disconsolate crea
: ture will hardly imagine before han
/, that even the sick can have SO niue
Q to bring cheer into their lives.
r In short, this is going to be an In
( stitution that cures so far as huma
y skill and experience have a place, an
s then when we have done our par
|. God is going to be sought to do hi
n part.
O The work of the association ha
a features of great importance to tn
: state at large and will undertake
l. draw patients from every quartz
One of the best works is that of Gu
ing the liquor and drug habit. Hell
the institution will use a cure tn,
cures. This will be in the hands
TT physicians who know how to tre
l. these diseases. This association know
IS full we'll that these Affections are di
S. eases and must be treated as such.
ID Where persons are not able to p;
,e small boarding tuition, they mi
t. camp on the premises and have t
l. advantage of the oversight of the q
L. sociation workers.
