In Curative Climate.
1t IL world wide known fact that
the climate Of Colorado is better adapt
ed to the cure OF consumptives Than
other localities. In some Of the east
ern and middle west states great cures
have been effected through proper out
Of door treatments but none Of these
states offer the advantages of altitute.
air, temperature. sunshine and soil al
does this region of Colorado in which
the Woodman sanatorium is situated.
The sanatorium consists of a number
OF colonies each made up of sixty tent
cottages and utility building. Each
patient has q private cottage. These
structures consist Of conical sllingIed
roof with steel rafters reared on walls
which are of canvass. These tents have
concrete foundation with wood
covering.
The treatment consists in keeping
the patient out Of doors as much as
possible with plenty of fresh air at
night. Sunshine is also factor which
is given special attention while proper
food forms one OF the principal treat
merts. Milk, beef and eggs form the
greater portion Of the diet although in
dividuals are capable of the proper
digestion and assimilation OF other
foods that are beneficial. Each patti
ent is tested for the purpose of finding
out what food is best for him and these
are administered in pienty consistent
with the needs Of the sufferer.
Each one or the tents costs $3.50 to
construct and furnish. These were
erected by the various camps over the
country. AT the present time there are
a large number Of them and there are
many patients from ali parts Of the
country taking the treatment. which
is absolutely free to ali BENEFICIARY
members OF the order.
The movement is worthy one and
speaks volumes for the modernism
which seems to constitute the entire
order Of Woodmen.
The Fargo Camp.
lie VI the 1OQETB
Woodmen Of America was organized
several years ago with quite a large
charter membership. The lodge. as may
be seen, started out under favorable cir
cumstances and since then has been
growing rapidly both In point of num-
bers and in material way.
Each local lodge fixes its own dues
that is those dues which are required
for the maintenance OF the individual
camp. These, Of course. are in ac-
cordance with the number Of members
and the expense of running the camp.
The meetings of the local camp are
held on the second and fourth Thurs
days in each month in Loyal knights
hall When the routine business is
transacted and the initiation of cam
didstes is made.
