erection of the state. sanitarium for
suberculer patients at Dunseith.
THE much needed and much talked
of sanitarium will be a veritable lit
tie city in itself when completed. and
it's motto will be right living" said
DR.. Grassick. The foundation Of the
cure for tuberculosis is right living
and the rules which will be laid out
for the patients will conform with

to us by the state is not large enough
to permit us to receive than fifty
patients, as the state allowed the
board but $4,000 for its erection.
This enables US to build what We are
