SEEK ADMISSION TO
SANATORIUM
Waiting List at Catawba
Longest on Record, but
New Accommoda-
tons Almost Ready

Richmond, Va, Sept. ~
From the Catawba Sanatorium
como reports that the waiting
list ut that institution liz the
longest on record, but with this
announcement ia the news that
the State will soon have ready
its new infirmary Mt Catawba
where largo number of these
new cases can be received and
given treatment.
During the last few months
there has been n most unusual
interest in { h @ sanatorium,
manifested by n very large
number of requests for infor-
mating and by far more than
the normal number of applica-
tions for admission. As these
have been received they have
been filed until the waiting-list
now contains the names of
more than one hundred persons
who wish to take advantage of
the treatment offered by the
State.
The large number of applica-
tons, however, is not causing
particular concern to the State
Board of Health. The Board
will receive from the contrac-
tor within few weeks which
will care for almost fifty pa
tients, and in addition, will
have other beds made available
for new patients by the depar-
ture of patients who have re-
manned ak months.
'"Those on the waiting list"
said an officer of the Board to-
day, "need not To be alarmed
or fearful that their admission
wilt be Indefinitely postponed.
We are doing the best we can
with limited accommodations
and hope soon to have room for
about half of those now on the
waitlng-list. Other vacancies
will occur from time to time.
Prospective patients should re-
member, however, that they
will be admitted in strict accor-
dance with their place on the
waiting list. We cannot admit
patients ont of their own order
under any conditions"

Healthy Bust
ness
Conditions Indicated through
out the South this Fall
and Winter.

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. l2.--
Healthy business conditions
throughout the Southeast dur
ing the fall aud winter are in
dictated by the action of the
railways of this section in cali
ing upon shippers to aid them
in maintaining an adequate car
supply during the crop moving
season. Anticipating q heavy
demand for cars, the railways
are themselves doing every
thing possible to increase their
car supply. Shops are being
run at full capacity to put every
available car in repair and car
builders arc being urged to
turn out new equipment as rap.
idly rs possible. Steps are also
being taken to provide for the
most expeditions handling of
cars at terminals and transfer
points.
While the railways are max
ing these preparations for the
rush of heavy business, it is
recognized that shippers can
render assistance of the great
est Importance by loading and
unloading cars as promptly IN
possible, thus avoiding unno-
cessary detention OF cars, aud
by loading cars to their full ca
pacity. As an adequate car
supply is as important to ship
pers and the general public as
1t IL to the railways, an appeal
liz being made to shippers indi-
vidually and through trade and
commercial bodies to aid the
railways in their effort to ne
cure the maximum efficiency i'll
the use of cars.
