"How States Are Made"

Not so many years ago the United
States government opened up its UNI
occupied lands free to all settlers. They
were drawn up in line after register
ing their intention to settle and occupy
the land apportioned off in plots. AT
the firing OF cannon everything made
a rush to get a section of the land +;
some on horseback, others in vehicles
Of all kinds, and some on foot. The
first on the ground stakes off his claim,
and 20 on until all the land is taken.
It's a marvellous picture to those who
are anxious to know something about
what is now a matter of history. There
is splendid story told in this picture
OF thrilling and absorbing nature. BY
all means see it at the Dreamland. The
exhibition of this Nitagraph western por-
trayal reflects great credit upon the en-
terprising management OF this theatre.

MADE BIG PROFIT FOR STATE
Purely Business Argument for the E.
t~abifshment Of Sanltoriums for
the Tuberculosis.

According to figures contained In the
annual report of DR.. H. L. Barnes, SUI
perintendent of the Rhode Island state
santtorium, the earnings Of the ex-
patients Of that institution during the
year 1911 would amount to owe $780,
600. This Is a sum three times as
large as that spent each year for main
tenance Of the institution, including
four per cent. interest and deprecta-
ton charges.
The actual earnings in 1911 Of 40
ex-patients were obtained by DR..
Barnes. These ranged from 81 to $31
per week, the total earnings for the
veal amounting to $102,752. On this
basis, DR.. Barnes computes the figures
above given. He says, however:
while institutions for the cure Of
tuberculosis are good investments,
there Is good reason for thinking that
institutions for the isolation of far

Out Of a total of 46,460 hospital

rum. Out Of 1872 patients having
homes, the number in the family aver

lies had no income, and in only five
cases were there any savings, none OF
which amounted to as much as 500.
