if it be recognized by the physician
he too often does not inform the
patient, but allows him to go on
from bad to worse until his condition
Is manifest to all, and he is then told
to make a change of climate after, in
a great majority of cases. it is ever
lastingly too late. Then, too, the
fault lies with the victim himself in
many instances; he will not believe
what he is told, the dread of the
knowledge preventing him from ac-
cepting the statement of the phystc-
ian who tells him. and he continues
to deceive himself until it is too
late and the chance of getting well
las gone by.
While incipient tuberculosis is
comparatively easily mastered, it
becomes most stubborn malady
when it is allowed to advance for a
considerable time and eventually
reaches a stage where recovery lis
hardly possible and very rare. How
ever, there are quite frequent in
stances where, even in cases far ad-
yanced, the disease has been arrested

on entering, with everybody and
everything connected with the insti-
tuition. The greatest and most agree
able surprise. however, is the APP
pearance and conduct of the patients
themselves. If one did mot know
the people here were patients he
would hardly be able to guess or sus-
p.cion it from their appearance and
actions. OF course there are some
whose conditions are bad, but one
does not see or come in contact with
them as they are confne to their
tents and beds, but there are not a
great many of such. Noting the ac-
tions of the patients one would not
be impressed with the idea that they
are all afflicted more or less serious
ly with what is considered by most
people a fatal malady. All are jovial,

agreeable. sociable, and much of this
IS inspired by the feeling that ulti-
mate recovery will be achieved,
rcnpled with characteristic and al
most universal hopefulness OF tuber-
ul9us sufferers. Naturally one is
impressed with selling of happi-
ass to he made to tank that he is

Nordrach Ranch Aanatorium.
This is the name of the Institution
in which l am making the struggle
to gain the mastery of the grim mon
ster that has laid hold of me. This
sanatorium is situated about four
miles northeast of the business CEN
ter of the city of Colorado Springs,
Colo. 1t occupies most picturesque
location up against what are known
as Austin Bluffs. overlooking the
valley and city. From 1t is COM
view comprised of the stretch of val
ley between the ranch and the city,
the city itself, Pixies and Cheyenne
peaks, the range of mountains of
which they are a part, the Green
horn range and the Spanish peaks,
the latter nearly 100 miles distant
On a clear day-and most all days
are clear here-all of these can be
seen plainly, and their beauty and
grandeur cannot be described fin
words; to be appreciated they must
be seen, and once seen the impress
sion made will be lasting. A more
glorious view than the one presented
to the eyes in any direction from the
hard. indeed, to imagine. 1t is
doubtful if a better location from
sanitary point of view can be found
anywhere in this country, or on the
globe for that matter. In every par
ticular-climate, altitude, remote
ness from the dust and dirt of the
city and consequent purity of the
atmosphere-no better location can
be found anywhere. The altitude is
a little above 5000 feet.
Nordrach Ranch Sanatorium was
established in November. 1901, by
DR.. John e. White who, having been
consumptive himself, became con-
vinced, after seven years spent in
clusively to the care of consumptives,
that climate alone without proper
care and advice, was in small degree
satisfactory for the relief and cure
of the disease. We believe the cures
affected at the Ranch amply bears
the Doctor out in the. claim. The
name "Nordrach" is taken from g.
celebrated sanatorium in the Baden
Black Forest in Germany.
The daily routine of life of the
patients in the Institution can be
best and quickest told by stating that
it is essentially "the simple life"
VI course all luStlluC!OuS OF lniS

to be observed and for the guidance
of those whom it is expected and in
tended to benefit. These rules, how
ever. are comparatively few and the
most simple and lin most cases are
not rigidly ironclad, as the managers
demand largely on the good sense
and judgment of the patient, and his
desire to get we'll, to do the right
thing after being told, and almost
without exception the rules are
obeyed.
The sanatonium is conducted
strictly and wholly on the tent idea,
and for the patients no other apart
ments are furnished. The accom-
panying cuts will give very correct
idea of the appearance of the Ranch /.

The Feast Of Yule.

tuted Christmas as a festival though
for some time It was irregularly belt

drinking the wassail bowl or cup.
Nothing gave them so much delight as
Indulgence in "carousing ale," especial
ly at the season Of short days, when
fighting was ended. 1t was likewise
the custom at all their feasts "for the

Three New Smiths.

Three fashionable churches in
a certain city-St Johns, St
Thomas's, and st Margaret's-
have each of them a rector
whose name is Smith. This
might make a little confusion,
were it not for an ingenious
method which has been adopted
for designating them.
Colloquially, and for the sake
of differentiation, the eminent
divine in charge of St Johns is
known as Johnny" Smith, the
rector of St Thomas is called
"Tommy" Smith and he of st
Margaret's goes by the name of
"Maggie" Smith.

sermon.
On Wednesday night the lower
grades gave their performance. They
all did remarkably well and showed
that the teachers had spent a lot of
time training them. Their dialogues
and songs were all good, but special
mention should be made of two.
The first was song, "My Doll is
