en- the funds necessary to erect a
small, but first class sanatorium to
serve as a memorial to her late hus-
band and to replace the day camp.
Buildings Burned
The Chase Memorial building of the
Fairfield Sanatorium was not opened
for patients until March, 1913, but
four months later it was full and
there was a waiting list From a small
local institution it had developed into
State institution and patients were
received from every section of the
State.
On July 14th last the sanatorium
was burned to the ground with moth
ing but the chimney left to point out
the site. The first thought of the as
sociation was for the patients, who
came from every section of the State
and who must be cared for. Thanks
to the generosity of the people of
Waterville and Fairfield, who came
forward unselfishly, temporary quar-
tiers were found for all the patients.
In the meantime, the governor, to
whom an appeal had been made, fur
nished the association with large
military tents which were at once set
up ION the hill" At the same time
a temporary building was quickly
thrown up to serve as a dining room,
kitchen, bath room and office.
The board of directors Immediately
set about planning a new and larg-
er building to provide for the increas
ing demand for accommodation.
Purpose Of Work
The Fairfield Sanatorium aims to
provide modern tuberculosis treat
ment at moderate cost. Not one in
100 of the $1,000 sufferers from tu-
berculosis in Maine can afford to pay
the rates charged at many sanator-
ia. The rate at Fairfield has been SIS
per week, but through an appro-
priation made by the State persons
really unable to pay the regular rate
have been received at rate of Sc or
81 per week. and in some desperate
eases. even free of charge.
The cost of the new building will
be about $4,000 The Association
homes to be able to raise this amount
so as to complete the building at
once. 1t has in hand but $4,000 and
is conducting a statewide campaign
to raise the balance.
The directors of the association
have engaged for this work r. c.
Sanger, who was formerly in the en-
ploy of, and recommended by, the
National Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis.
The patients are now quartered in
tents in the open field awaiting the
completion of the new building.
which should be completed at once.
otherwise the patients will have to be
sent home and that would mean death
to a number of them.
The plans of the association include
4 twin building to serve as hospital
for advanced cases and an admin
stration building They are greatly
needed, but they cannot be built I'M
til funds are available.
Maine Tagging
Maine is one of the few remaining
states in the union that have not
made provision for the erection OF
sanatoria where any citizens so un-
fortunate as to contract tuberculosis
may go for treatment Sanatoria for
incipient cases are very good, but
they cannot begin to control the
scourge. II is the advanced case that
must be provided for. Hospitals
should be built where advanced cases
can be removed and thus prevented
from spreading the disease while re-

 Not even q vice president, a gov ernor or congressman, however could deprive the Chandlerites them selves of the distinction of being the first to be received at the San Mar cos And that this sentiment might be realized, Dr. Chandler directed and Mrs. w.

 Five centuries ago Spanish friar Marcos de Nizza, with a negro com Ianiun braVed his way across the arid vistas of the 5aEt' River valley. Sent out by the Spanish king t. discover new countries, he wandered into Arizona, making his famous trip from Mexico to Zuni iu 1899. Who knows but that in his wanderings he may have campci on the very site of the present san Marcos hotel which has been so aptly named for him, and dreamed his dreams and saw his visions of an inland empire Under the sway Of his monarch and his church.; visions of the missions with their drched corridors and domed halls with thousands Of Indian prose lytes visions not destined to be full, tIlled at that time. for he, alas! re- turned to Mexico. leaving these plains as he found them, covered with sage brush, cactus and mesquite
 Since then three centuries have passed and an American has worked the miracle and COnsummated the early vision of Marcos de Nizza and where san Marcos left the desert the American developed wonderful water system to do the work of re- Clamation, then planted his broad fields and planned his city beautiful. Now beside the plaza with it's velvet lawns, it's shady hooks and the purl o9 running waters which worked the miracle of the reclamation, stands beautiful hotel, which. like the mis- sion of the friar of old, is the haven Of rest for the wayfarer in his jour ney from hither to hence.

Ranch houses appeared in the distance, broad acres of cotton, alfalfa and fruit trees, while here and there peaceful herds of fat cattle were grazing knee deep in green al faIfa.
 Closer at hand lay the town of Chandler Across the street a full square of green with aIluring walks and as green growing pepper trees, provides one of the series of public parks planned or already constructed All around were business houses com pleted or under construction that would do credit to a big city. And residences ranging in value from $5,0O0 down and in number mounting into the hundreds, formed the i'm mediate background. It was a reve- lation. And then the guests left the IoOf.
