innovation Made This Year of
Specializing at New York Re-
sort in Preventive Work
Against tuberculosis.

-oo~ children from New York During
the first two years groups Of nifty chill
drsn were given fortnightly outings at
che place The following year the ca
,scitv was increased To one hundred
cb,1dren. al which figure il has remained
until the present
Until this year what might he called
~eg,,far Fresh Air children were enter
Gained at Devereux Home. as IL is
NOW known After the first party this
vsa-. however. the home was devoted 70
,be entertainment OF a special class Of
children recommended 20 the Tribune
Fund ov the numerous tuberculosis
clinics OF New York.
Nowadays tho Various organizations
actively interested in the eradication of
tuberculosis do more than treat those
actually infected with the dread disease.
Their campaign is, as much directed
toward prevention as cure.
In their preventive campaign they
zeaIously guard and educate the children
OF tubercular parents as well as chill
dren found in the city schools and else
where whose retarded physical develop
ment and puny bodies seem 20 mark
them out as likely prey for the white
plague u is from the ranks Of these
children that the DevereuX Home parties
have been made up this summer.
The location Of Deposit is thought 20
he ernecialIy we'll adapted 20 this sort
Of Fresh Air work The place lies among
the hills that form the approaches TO
the AUeghanies, at an altitude OF about
200 feet above sea level The home
itself stands on the south bank Of the
Delaware River. in an open glade. Dor
dered ny woods Of pine elm and maple
The atmosphere is dry and invigorauns.
Since the giving over Of this home TO
preventive work the vacation period for
each party Of girls has been increased
from two weeks 20 three. II was be-
leyed that the especial need Of the chill
dren 10 be received warranted the longer
period. II takes longer for these under
rourished children 10 adjust themselves
70 the new conditions and 70 begin TO
gain. Besides a greater degree Of up
building is necessary.
Observation a. various Tribune homes
shows that il takes an ordinary Fresh
Air child about three days to develop
a markedly better appetite. whereas
Il takes one Of these special children
eight or nine days 70 show this same
result Of the change
There IS more 70 he gained al Dew
ereux Home however, than Improvement
in appetite. The crowd OF one hundred
girls now there is having all kinds OF
good times. Night before last the village
band turned out 70 play for the tots 10
dance and sing.
Yesterday morning one OF the neigh
ho-s Of the home invited the children 10
q bean picking" II was a novelty that
afforded almost as much fun as circus.
Best Of all. when the beans were al
picked the owner sent them over 10 ne
cooked for the girls dinner. and the
Youngsters had the decidedly novel
pleasure Of eating something they had
taken from the garden themselves.
some time ago the Borden MIX Com
psry's station at Deposit Issued gem
eral invitation TO al the children OF
the home to drink. free Of charge as
much buttermilk as they could Ihese
are only instances that illustrate no"
heartily the people Of Deposit enter INTO
dren a pleasure as we'll as beneht
