 'The month of July has been marked by the greatest advance made toward the comfort as well as to the capacity of the sanatorium. No fewer than 45 persons have been treated for all or part of the month of whom 2S paid nothing to the funds of the associa- ton, seven paid one-half or less of the cost of treatment and the remain ing 10 the full charges. Bringing the city water in has, so far, increased the capacity from 32 to Al beds. These are all claimed and it is evident that if there were 100 beds they could also be promptly filled, but the overshadowing question is how to finance an insti- tution with such rapidly growing ex- pense. The city of Bessemer and many of its citizens have contributed for the first time. Pledges have been received from the employees of the Bessemer Soil Pipe company, the Illinois Central rail- road shops, the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad furnaces near Bessemer, r, the Louisville and Nashville shops at Pessemer, also from the Industrial Mems Bible class of the First Pres hyterfan church of Bessemer and the Be ssemer Soil Pipe company itself in addition to what is donated by its em- ployes.
 Donations of material have been re- celved as follows Jenkins Lumber com. | pany, flooring for tent: l.. s. Richard tent for out patient: Ed Sellers. erect l ing tent Mrs. H. w.

Among patients under observation no fewer than 20 deaths occurred dur ing the month of July. This fact re fers. of course. to the out patients de pertinent. Two deaths occurred at thu sanatorium, one after very brief resi- dence and the other after havini fought the battle for full year. II connection with the last named death the patient desired to send a messag g
 to all the people that his greatest re
 gret was that he did not enter the san atorium when he first began to fee sick Too late he had learned that de lay was fatal. Respectfully submitted

Dare. postmaster, and Uncle Sam, all of whom were responsible for his being un- able to send by parcel post a piece of crockery wrapped only in light wrapping paper. When Robert Newens. clerk, tried to explain to Corwith that his crockery would probably get smashed in the first mail sack it was put into, the author be- came very angry, says the Brooklyn Eagle.
 He was expressing his contempt in words which sent all the women in the place to the street when Postmaster Dare called an officer. Corwith pleaded guilty to the charge, but stated he was a Bud- dhist and that he did not consider the language as coming under the head of profanity. He paid the $5 fine.
