ers standing about him. There follow
ed a hurried talk between her and the
sheriff, IN the midst of which the girl
tainted and fell from her horse.
Clough could not hear what was said,
but the sheriff wrangled with the
crowd, which seemed to be divided on
the subject under discussion. Present.

FIGHTING TUBERCULOSIS.
Modern Weodnen Society VIII Conduct
Free Sanatorium for Its Memhers.

4 EASC auAAfgAANAA sNA AIS EfANi1hChn.
At the last meeting of the executive
council OF she Modern Woodnen society
held at the headquarters Of the society
in Rock Island, ILL.,, it was decided to
conduct that society's sanatorium, locat-
ed at Colorado Springs, Col, for the
treatment of members afflicted with tu-
berculosis, free of all charge to mem.
bers.
The Modern Woodmen society, several
months since, acquired | $50 acres Of land
within seven mikes of Colorado Springs,
and has established thereon an up-to-
date sanatorium. the tent colony plan
being employed. The first colony was
opened on January l. 1909, for the re-
ception Of patients 1t is equipped 70
care for 40 patients, to which number
admissions will be limited for the pres
emit.
The tents are ootagonal structures,
with shingle roofs, canvas sides, hard
wood Hoors on solid cement foundations.
heated by central plant, equipped with
all modern conyeniehces, such as tele-
phones, etc. and each tent will aceommo-
date one patient. An administrative
building for physicians, nurses, dining
hall, baths of all kinds, etc, stands in
the center of the colony.
A movement is already under way to
equip the second colony plant Of 90
tents. Each tent or tent house, com
pletely equipped, represents an expense
Of $3.50, and number of local camps,
or lodges, Of the. society have decided
to donate tents. As there are over 49,
600 local camps of Modern Woodmen,
and over l,000.o00 members, it is antici-
pated that several colonies will soon be
equipped in this way.
The members and local camps of the
society have voluntarily contributed to
the sanaterium fund over $4,000, and
at the last national convention a per
manent tax Of ten cents per member per
year was voted to the support Of this
werk.
If the Woodmen society. with It's ex-
ceptionslly favorable mortality. finds it
to be good business to fight eonsump-
ton in this way. why should not other
fraternal societies, life insurance COM
panies, labor organizations, the national
and international church bodies, etc, find
it profitable. from the viewpoint of bust
ness or benevolence, or both, to take such

policies in ferce-at an expense for treat
ment Of approximately one twentieth OF
this amount. In the broader sense, each
life saved means the preservation to the
family Of rs head and bread winner aud
