MAN FINDS CHILDREN
MOTHER TOOK AWAY
Wife, Charging Improper
Support, Denies Story of
Wrecking Home.

Two little tots. OF three and Eve.
prattling Hrst OF papa and then OF
mamma. obHvious Of the marital IN
happiness that has wrecked a home,
left the Washington Orphan Asylum
today with George l. Wright. OF Phil
adelphia-the father. who. after a long
search for his wife and babies. found
them here under an assumed name.
Late this afternoon Mr.. Wright Will
throw open the doors of a once happy
home, and accompanied only by the little
ones, viii enter IL disconsolate, alone.
The mother remains here; there is to
be no recOncilir.ion; no lindiEg anew
Of the happiness that was.
Childish calls for mother will echo
about familiar rooms unanswered; ;
there Will be no baby prayer around a
mothers knee, no evening lullaby. no
goodnight stroke of each little curly
head It is but the writing Of another
tragedy; OF the parting OF the ways
Of the game Of life where all humanity
must stand about the wheel Of fortune
and some must draw-a blank
There were three scenes in the weav-
ing Of the stor-- today. In an ante room
of the orphans home. where he had at
last found his children, sat a young
IN sorrow. his voice breaking with emo
ton, his form a picture Of detection.

OF the innocent children, impatient to
leave a strange place into which their
mother had suddenly cast them two
weeks before understanding none OF

and pulse of the patients are taken
and made of record. This record.
together with a record of weight
taken once a week and other infor-
nation as to condition, is furnished
each patient once month. Tuber-
culin Is administered once week on
Thursday. and each patient able 20
do so is required to take tub bath
at least once week. each having
the day and hour for bath set for
him. Patients whose conditions do
not permit them to be up are faith
fully and carefully attended in their
tents by well trained nurses.
Thu. time between. the meals and
lunches is spent by most OF the pa
tIents, and particularly those Snow
ing temperature above normal. at
rest in adjustable reclining steamer
chairs" out in the open air wrapped
in comfortable blankets. This is
called chasing the cure and aside
from the diet is the principal part
of the treatment. No met cines
whatever except tuberculin, are ad
ministered to patients showing no
other ailments aside from fubercu
ministered If the patient does not
desire it. Practically absolute rest
is required of every patient after
dinner between the hours of l and 8
o'clock. and after the evening lunch
con all patients are expected to re-
tire to their own tents and to be in
bed by O'Clock. For exercise walk
ing and games are permitted for
those physically able to endure them
as also they are allowed to make
occasional visits to the city, bat
these are not encouraged ald per-
mission must be had from the
physician.
One unacquainted with tire con
duct of a tuberculosis sanitorium is
naturally inclined to think it would
be most dangerous place for nom
tuberculous persons. but such is not
the case. The most rigid sanitary
measures are observed for the pre-
vention of the spread of the disease
to those not havirg il, as we'll as u
prevent the re-infection of those re-
covering. The greatest danger OF
infect on is from the phlegm. OF

ana to avoid tbs danger each pa

heavy carbolzed paper lining. which
is changed as often as IS necssslr,

doing errands in the city for pa

quired to pay for their thermometers
and sputa boxes and these become
Fpersonal property of the purchasers.
There are extra charges for patients
confined to bed, for special nurses,
for meals served in tents and for
any service really out of the regular,
but all these extra charges are quite
moderate At the expense required

of this kind victim of tuberculosis

take the slim chances he has for re-
covery by SO doing. Every moment

In conclusion / would impress
upon everyone. who has the least
idea or suspicion whatever that he
is afflicted with tuberculosis. the
Imperative necessity of ascertaining
TO a certainty whether or not his
suspicion is true. Early diagnosis
of the case means, in all probability,

efforts to that end are begun and
pursued faithfully for suff1cent

afflicted, / would advise immediate
entrance to sanatorinm of reput-

cure) are effected.
To the physicians l would say.
that in every instance where tuber-
culosis is suspected a microscopical
examination of the sputum OF the
patient or the tuberculin test, should
be insisted upon, and if the bacilli
are found then the patient should
be at once so informed and urged to
seek sanatorinm. / am firm in the
opinion that the states should make
examination microscOpically or the
tuberculin test compulsory for every

)ctagonal, twelve feslt across and
-hirty-six feet around. They have
heavy canvass sides and shinsled
roofs with a large ventilator in the
apex that can be opened and closed
at the will of the occupant. Each of
the tents is supplied with a good
IRON bedstead with good spring and
mattress and plenty OF excellent COW
erings, an upright wardrobe. a large
dresser and mirror, a commodious
washstand with ample drawers and
washing utensils, a rocker and a
good stove. Carpets are not used,
permitted If the patient desires them
and is willing to furnish them for
himself. These quarters are indeed
comfortable and pleasant and are
kept scrupulously clean by faithful
attendants.
The daily nfe of the patient is one
of routine and is governed largely
by the rules of the place, laxity be-

to endure. At the head of the card
of rules are the following most SEN
