THE CUSTER SANATORIUM
Biennial Report OF DR.. Woodwork.
$500 Citizens in State Suffer-
ing From Tuberculosis,

/
The first biennial report of Dr.. R. E.
Woodwork, superintendent of the San.
atorium for tuberculosis. located at Gus.
ter, in this State, has reached the Ar.
gus-Lssder. The report is a brief but
very interesting statement Of what has
been done at that institution since il
was started two years ago, and of the
foundation laid for q fns tuberculosis
institution from now on, If the State will
only make the appropriations needed to
meet the situation.
There are In South Dakota at this
time 8, 500 Of our citizens who are suf-
fsring from tuberculosis. The State
Sanatorium has accommodations for
only fourteen. We should bave an In
stitution capable of taking care of at
least 100. For the last fiscal year, the
maintenance expense has been $6,S06.84
and the income from the various coun-
ties has been $5,637.SS. Hence the
maintenance of the institution for the
fiscal year has cost the State only ST.
1886. If the State would enlarge the
accommodations, so that there would be
room for from rs to 100 patients, the in
stitution would very soon be self sup.
porting.
Superintendent Woodwork says that
patients are turned away almost every
day for lack of room. New pavillions
are needed, an infirmary is necessity,
at once, a cottage is required for the &C
commodation of the assistants, new
barns are required for the dairy, and
better and more cows should be added.
For $500. fifteen acres of adjoining land
needed in connection with the disposal
of the sewage can be bought and the
superintendent urges that this be done
The location of the Sanatorium is in
the heart of the pine woods of the Black
Hills, with an altitude of better than
5000 feet, with an ample supply of cry.
stal pure water, and healing air from
the basam woods. A 99-ysar lease OF
800 acres Of government forest land has
been given the State by the government
for the use of this home. This means
abundant pasturage for stock, fuel in
unlimited quantity, fine stretches OF
wooded parks for the recreation of the
patients, and the seclusion which is
important for an institution of this
kind.
OF course when the legislature meets,
the usual demand for economy will be
heard, but We hope that the coming ses-
sion of the legislature will at least do
the right thing by this humanitarian in
stitution, built for the cure of our own
citizens and as a part of the world wide
war which has been started against the
great white plague. A rich State like
South Dakota cannot afford to have the
record stand that she has provision for
only fourteen patients though 8, 500 cases
Of tuberculosis exist in this State. 1t Ia
merely question Of few dollars. Can
we afford to save" money at the ex-
pense of the health of the people of the
State ?-Arpus-I ,eader

Mr.. E. A. Chambers, for the past
several years station agent for the Bur-
lington at this place, left with his fami-
ly yesterday for Deadwood, where be
will assume the position of freight agent
for the same company. The move is a
promotion and Mr.. Chambers is to be
congratulated on his good fortune in the
move. He has made good at this sta
ton and the Burlington officials have
always an eye on their men that make
good and promote them. Mr.. Cham
bers has been succeeded by E. s.
Powell of Litchfeld, Neb., who arrived
here Tuesday, accompanied by his wife
and two children. Mr.. Powell's house,
hold effects were destroyed by fire at
Seneca, Neb., while in transit from
Litchfield to Custer.

In speaking of the Custer Sanatorium
the Sioux Falls Argus-Leader says, there
are 3, 500 cases of tuberculosis in South
Dakota. In our State Sanatorium We
have accom- odatons for fourteen pa
tients. DR.. r. E. Woodwork the sup
srintendent asks the Legislature to give
him money enough to equip the Custer
Sanatorium so that it can care for from
rs to 100. The Legislature cannot afford
to refuse to grant this request. Itwould
be little short of crime to be niggsrdly
with such an institution.

MAILING RULES FOE cHR1srMAs.

1 nShn1o 1SS Shn1o 4 m 40
A set Of rules for the guidance of per.
sons sending Christmas gifts by mail has
been promulgated by Postmaster Gen.
eral Frank Hitchcock, and forwarded to
all postmasters in the country for infor-
nation of the public. These arc the
things to learn and remember:
Postage on all matter should be fully
prepaid. Packages not fully prepaid
will be held for postage.
All packages should be fully and plain
ly addressed, including street and mum.
Der, or number of rural route in order
that there may be no delay in handling
and delivering them.
The sender's name and address should
be placed in the upper seit hand corner
Of the envelope or wrapper to insure re-
turn of mail il not delivered.
All mail matter should be securely
packed and wrapped so as to bear trans
mission without breaking. Matter other
than that of the first class must be 30
wrapped that the contents of the pack
age may be examined easily by postal
officials. When not SO wrapped the
matter will be charged with postage at
the first class rate.
Packages of third and fourth class mat
ter may bear, in addition to the names
and addresses of the senders a written
designation of the contsnts-a simple in.
scription not in the nature of personal
correspondence the words "Merry Christ
mas" Happy New Year." with best
wishes" and "do not open until Christ
mas" or words to that effect.
All valuable letters and parcels should
be registered.
The special delivery by mail by mes
ssnger may be obtained by placing on
any letter or package a special delivery
stamp or ten cents in ordinary stamps
in addition to the amount of the rsquir-
ed postage. When ordinary stamps are
used the words Especial delivery must
be placed directly under, but not on the
stamps.
Through carslsssness in preparing
merchandise for mailing during the holi-
day season last year, Mr.. Hitchcock
states that more than $4,000 parcels in
tended for Christmas or New Years
gifts were sent to the division of dead
letters. OF this number nearly 5000
were for delivery in foreign countries
being held as unavailable because the
senders neglected to place their ad.
dresses on the wrappers or TO fix the
requisite customs declarations, as re-
quired by the several parcels post con-
vsntions. Nearly 10000 parcels were
mailed with insufficient stamps af
fixed.
In addition to the described unmail
able matter, more than $1,000 valuable
articles were found loose in the Christ
mas and New Years mail of last year al
a result Of having escaped from thsir
wrappings through negligent or improp'
er packing by the senders.

Ranger Shoemaker, of Keystone, who
for the past two weeks has had charge
of crew of men improving the Key
stone-Rapid City road, reports that good
progress is being made. On the Palmer
Hill is where the work is being done.
This hill with a grade of 25 per cent has
for years been one of the hardest pieces
of roads to haul over between Rapid
City and Keystone. When the work
under way is completed the maximum
grade on the hill will be 10 per cent for
very short way, with 8 per cent for the
rest of the distance.

A young man in a neighboring town
who is very bashful, recently had girl
out riding, and she tried to make it easy
for him in every way possible. Giving
up in despair, she was silent for a long
time and he said: "What's the matter2"
"Oh, feel so blue" she replied. "no
body loves me and my hands are so
cold" "You should not say that, for
God loves you and your mother loves
you and you can sit on your hands"
