HOW TO MAKE s. 900.

Three years ago the Catawba sana-
forum was established by the State
In Roanoke County, about twelve miles
from Salem, beautiful region of
country. where all the elements invite
health and strength. In 1910 the State
appropriated $4,000 for the building
and support of the institution; the APP
preparation for the present year was
increased TO $4,000. The demands
upon the sanatorium have been so
great that the authorities in charge
have been compelled to adopt rule
restricting the stay Of the patients adj
us,tted TO the institution TO a period
Of six months, whatever their condi-
tion and the progress that has been
made with their cases and whether
or not their further stay would min
lister to their welfare. This is = very
hard situation. and can only be relieved
by larger liberality on the part of the
State or by substantial gifts from
those who are moved by the misfortunes
OF their neighbors. There are now lt2
patients a the sanatorium. and long
