STATE SANATORIUM. READY
DIR. J. G. DEAN OF DAWSON LO-
CAL EXAMINING PHYSICIAN.
State-OWned Institution in Mount
aims of North Georgia Is Open
For TubercuIar Patients.

/ State-Owned Institution in Mount
aims of North Georgia Is Open
For Tubercular Patients.
The Georgia State Sanitorium at
Alto, Ca, has recently been opened
for the reception of tubercular pa
tents, and instructions for the guild
ance of applicants for admission
have been issued.
DR.. j. G. Dean of Dawson has been
| appointed local examining physician
| for the institution, and those who de-
sire to go from this section should
see him before making application.
The Georgia State Sanitorium was
created by act of the general assem-
bly,, approved August II, 1908, as a
sanitorium for the treatment of tu-
berculosis patients, at which time an
appropriation of $25 900 was made.
ed appropriating 100000 for the
completion of buildings and $40, 900
for maintenance during 1911.
The sanitorium tract, comprising
PSI acres, is located two miles from
Alto station on the main line of the
Southern railway "A miles northeast
of Atlanta and 6 miles southwest of
Mt. Airy. Alto, Ca, is the postoffice,
and the nearest regular station
"Sanitorium," about a quarter of a
mile from the institution, has been
made flag station.
The elevation of the sanitorium is
approximately l, 500 feet above sea
level. The air is pure and invigorat-
ing the year round-free from the
dust and dirt of the cities. The soil
is porous, and the sIoping land in
sures perfect drainage of rain and
storm water away from the build
ings
The group of sanitorium buildings
consists of an infrmary building
containing wards, dining room and
staff quarters, and five shacks for
patients.
The five shacks provided, each
having a capacity of ten beds, are of
the most approved type. The veran-
da or outdoor ward is airy, but pro-
tected from driving winds and rains
by curtains which in good weather
are rolled up out of the way The
pOrches all face southeast in order
to get maximum amount of light
and sunshine. The buildings are
further protected from the cold north
winds by hill in the rear. Each
shack has a locker room in which
are individual dressing rooms for
patients, and in which are accommo-
dations for their clothes and toilet
articles.
The group of buildings are placed
among the pines on the southern
slope Of the hill, well protected from
the winds. The outlook from the
shack porches is pleasing, and the
fragrance from the pines is soothing
to the patients.
The sanitorium is intended for in
cipient and moderately advanced
cases, with serious complications, or
surgical tuberculosis.
While primarily the object of the
institution is the cure or arrest of
tuberculosis much stress will be laid
upon the education of patients along
lines calculated to increase the pros
poets of their continued health after
leaving the sanitOrium, as well as to
prevent the spread of the disease by
care of themselves and by advising
others less informed.

This statement only gives an idea

This statement only gives an idea
of the conditions in one portion of the
great famine district.
This morning to correspondent
Miss Boardman, of the American Red
Cross, stated:
''The plague is creeping southwark
towards this famine district. 1t has
ravaged Manchuria, and thousands of
refugees who have fed to Chefoo, in
Chanting Province, have carried it
there. Hundreds of deaths occur daily
and the frozen ground prevents the
burial of the dead and long rows OF
collins lie on the roadside. American
ConsulGeneral Wilder, at Shanghai,
cabled to the Red Cross that people
stricken with this plague die within
few hours and that it is of so fatal
a nature no one ever RECEIVERS. The
people have at last consented to Gre
nation and several thousand of these
bodies have been burned
President Taft, as president OF the
American Red Cross, has sent out an
urgent appeal to our people to aid
China, which is suffering from these
dual calamities. Contributions Of
money can be sent to the American
Red Cross, Washington, D. c.
If the people of America desire to
help these sufferers in Chiaa they
must act Immediately. The Red Cross
makes all remittances to China by
cable, through the state department,
thus insuring safe passage of funds
from the giver to the beneficiary and
the speedy application of such funds
where they will do the most good.

WOLF USES sTRATEGEM
Pursued Animal Shows Remark able
Sagacity and Brings Pursuers to
An UntimeIy Death.

A tragedy as thrilling as any ever
witnessed on the Missouri took place
near Whiting one day last week in
which big gray wolf and three splen.
did hounds, the property of John
Blair, a Whiting sportsman, were the
participants, the hounds falling vic
TINS to the cunning of the wolf and
dying in the sight of her owner, who
was powerless to aid them.
Blair and his hounds were beating
the river bank for any game that
might be flushed when out of the
brush leaped big wolf, the hounds
in full pursuit. After short run
parallel with the river the wolf turned
toward the middle of the stream. The
hounds lost some ground upon the ice,
their feet apparently not being so well
adapted to the smooth surface as those
of the prey.
The wolf ran easily, now and then
changing it's course slightly and fire.
quently looking backward to see if the
dogs were following. Blair watched
the race with increasing interest and
it was not until the end was in sight
that he began to realize the cunning
of the wolf and that it was deliberate
ly leading the hounds to their death.
Straight toward the center of the
stream the pursued and pursuers ran,
the wolf increasing it's lead the near
er the center was reached. Suddenly
the wolf was seen to make a quick
and sharp detour and turning square
around faced the oncoming dogs as if
to give battle.
1t was then that the strategem was
disclosed, for the wolf was standing
upon the edge of an air hole and it's
quicker wit had calculated correctly,
for into the hole plunged the dogs.
"Old Temp" the leader of the pack,
was ahead. When too late he realized
his peril and with a scream of fear,
endeavored to bridge the chasm with
a leap. Instead he plunged into the
water and was swept beneath the ice.
His mate, which was close on the
heels of the leader, was the next to
reach the air hole. She, too, realized
the danger when too late, but managed
to keep afloat after sinking once. She
reached the edge of the hole again and
again and tried to climb upon the
firm ice, but finally drowned exhaust
ed. The third dog, which was a pup,
was seen only for short time after
making the plunge.
Meanwhile the wolf stood looking
upon the struggles of it's defeated foes
and when the last hound had disap-
peared, trotted away, apparently fully
contented with the result of it's STRAIT
egem. Mr. Blair had refused SIPS for

Her Objection.

Carlyle's dictum, "Not on morality,
but on cooking let us build our philos-
ophy," is recalled by the following:
IAN aged aunt, though in the position
of guest, protested against the appear
ance of really noble rabbit pie on
her nephew's breakfast table. 1t was
not that she feared ptomaine poison
ing. Her objections were ethical. Rab-
bits, she declared with wonderful
mid-Victorianism, were such immoral
animals.

O. l. Tesdahl, residing mile west

liable horses within the past week,
supposed to have been poisoned by
the silage which they had been eat
ing. Three other horses were kept
in another barn and were not fed sill
age and they were not poisoned. The
loss amounts to about $1,000 to Mr..
Tesdahl. A sample Of the silage was
sent to the college at Ames where it

MILLIONS WANT BREAD.
Advices From China Indicate Great
4 Need-American Red Cross Is
Anxious to Aid.

Recent advices from China indicate
that conditions in the famine district
are as bad as have been rumored and
are growing worse as days go by. Two
and a half million Chinese will die
for the want of bread if assistance is
not rendered Immediately. This num-
Der comprises nearly the entire popu-
lation of the northern part of the
province of Kiang-Su and Anhui.
The famine in China is the direct
result of the great foods which inun-
dated the provinces mentioned last
summer, running the crops. Conse-
Quently there was no harvest and the
supply of food on hand was not suf-
ficient to sustain the people of these
sections until the next harvest. In
fact unless prompt aid is rendered
there will not be next harvest, as
the Chinese will eat the seed instead
of planting it. During the first days
of the famine mothers endeavOred to
sell their babies to provide food for
themselves and save the children from
starvation. Now they are trying to
give the children away in the hope
that those to whom the babies are CIV
en- will be able to feed them. Along
the banks Of the Grand canal the vic
Tins of this terrible calamity are liv-
ing in mud and water, with only
shacks of mating over their heads,
hoping against hope that they may
exist until boats bearing the staff of
life come up the canal to relieve them.
Writing from Hwai Yuan, via Nan
king, E. c. Lobenstine, of the Ameri-
can Presbyterian mission, describing
the conditions which exist in the coun-
try Immediately about Hwai Yuan,
says:
"The magistry of Hwai Yuan has an
estimated population of 100000 per-
SONS. The number of famine suffer
ers-those who must be relieved or
die-in this magistry alone, amounts
to approximately 2OO,OOO-7O per cent
of the entire population. Last year
the food was the worst here in many
years, and the crops were poor. The
wheat suffered from drought and only
one-third was saved. This year about
half of the wheat was harvested, but
in the region north of Hwai two tor
nadoes and then the flood carried
away practically everything.
"TIle need here is great, and the
condition of the poor is as serious as
that in other parts. Reports come in
daily of people dying of starvation.
The poor who have children are trying
to sell them, but even they will not
sell for a pittance. Help is needed at
once AS soon as the real cold and
wet weather sets in the death rate
will increase greatly.
Zone million people are dependent
on outside relief, apd these will die of
starvation if relief is not given and
they are kept in this region. Five
months must be counted on, and
family cannot exist on less than one
cent per head per day, if for that.
1--WE are eagerly hoping for help
from the Red Cross society"

Burned to Death.

While driving home in his buggy
from Hubbard, Robert Pinske, farm
er living near Eldora, was literally
burned to death. He had been drink
ing heavily, it is alleged, and had al
cohol on his person when he left town
for home after dark. He passed part
les on the road who noticed that he
was afire, and an investigation made
by Glen Buoy and others proved that
he had spilled some of the alcohol on
his clothing, which had become ig-
nited from cigar or pipe, burning
his clothes from his body and scorch-
ing him to death. Pinske was forty
five years of age.
