Managers Of Maryland SanatOrium
Want 500, 900 a Year,

The managers of the Maryland Tuber-
culosis Sanitarium at Sabillasville, at a
meeting Saturday decided to ask the
General Assembly for an annual appro-
priation of $50. 900 for the maintenance
of the institution. Last year there were
4O2 patients at the sanitarium. At the
meeting Saturday it was stated that in
Maryland there are 10000 persons suf-
fering with tuberculosis. During last
year there were 2, 4S7 deaths in the state,
due to the maladv. Of the victims l, 4l5
were white and 1,072 colored. In pro-
portion to population the colored victims
were three to one, as compared with
white victims.
The next step in stamping out the con-
tagion in the state is the establishment
of an institution for the treatment of
colored patients.

Electric Light Legislation.

1t will be noted that Senator Matthias
has introduced in the Senate bill relat-
ing to the Electric Light plant for the
town. We hope to publish the bill in its
entirety so that the exact status may be
given to the citizens of Thurmont, so that
when the matter of submitting the same
to the voters for ratification of the pro-
posed issue of bonds, no one can say they
were going into the matter "blindfolded. "
We do hope that every citizen, voter
and taxpayer and resident of the town
will inform themselves fully with regard
to the issuance of bonds, the amount of
which it is currently reported will be
from SIS, 900 to $4,000. Every taxpayer
should know to a certainty to what ex-
tent this bond issue will affect their taxes,
for it will be too late to "squeal" when
the matteris is finally ratified. The CLARION
intends to give all the light it can on the
subject, and in doing so we want it dis
tinctly and positively understood that
what we shall have to say will be said
from public standpoint and not other
wise. The CLARION stands for the bet
terment and advancement of the town,
and if the issuance of $500 worth of
bonds will be for the betterment of the
town, we shall advocate it, and on the
contrary if it appears to be disadva Mt
age, we shall oppose it. The taxpayers
are the persons vitality interested and as
we see it now it will be a good many
years before the debt can be liquidated
and if taxes have to be levied in any
amount for the liquidation, the burden
will become onerous.
The columns of the CLARION is now, as
they always have been, open for any one
to ventilate their views on this or any
other subject.

Skin Grating Did Not Save Little Girl

Skin Grating Did Not Save Little Girl
In order to save the life of little Gladys
Wagner. of Norfolk, Va who was seri-
ously burned about the face and body
eight weeks ago, Harry N. Brown, vice
president of the Atlantic Electric Com
pany, went under the surgeons knife to
have skin removed from his body to be
grated on that of the little girl, as the
last resort. The operation was perform
ed by DIR. C A. Wagner and DR.. Stanley
H. Graves, and every indication points
to its success.
The little girl was passing by trash
fire on Omohundro avenue early in Octo-
ber, when spark ignited her dress and
in a few moments she was enveloped in
flames. A negro boy came to her rescue
and managed to smother the fire but not
before the child had received severe
burns about the face and body.
Her condition has been critical ever
since and few days ago it was decided
that skin grating was the only means
of saving her life. Mr.. Brown volun-
teered to allow the physicians to take as
much skin-from his body as they deemed
necessary.
Despite heroic efforts and selfsacri-
fees made by Mr.. Brown and other per-
sons, the little girl died as result of
her burns. 1t is stated that up to the
time the skin was grated on the little
girl, she held her own, but afterward
she was unable to take proper nc u .'ish-
ment, steadily grew worse and died.
Mr.. Harry Brown, from whose body
body skin was taken for grating. is a
son-in-law of Col. John r. Rouzer of this
place, now residing with his family in
Norfolk, Va.
The child is the daughter of John E.
Wagner, passenger agent of the Norfolk
and Western railway. She is eight years
