National Hospital for Consumptives.
The national home for consump-
tives under Catholic auspices seems
now virtually assured. Immediately
after Easter Father McMenamin will
go East for conference with Cardinal
Farley, after which he will visit some
of the Archbishops. He expects that
the plans for a great institution for
consumptives will shortly thereafter
be consummated. The plan under
discussion now calls for a fund of
100000. Of this $150,O0O would be
expended for buildings, the remaining
$350,O00 to be held in trust for main
tenance. A site close to Denver is
being considered. The institution
would provide for both pay and char
ity patients, the money received from
the former class to be devoted to the
care of those who could not afford the
expense of treatment. A novel fea-
ture of the proposed sanitorium will
be a wing for sick priests and another
for sick nuns.
