THANKSGIVING FOR
 NEW WATER SUPPLY
Patients at Red Mountain Sanitarium Rejoice That They Now Have It
 in Abundance

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 It would have done the friends of the Anti-Tubercuoss association great good yesterday morning had they been with me at a special thanksgiving service in the recreation hall at our Red mountain sanatorium score of the patients were present to give thanks for the gift of water
 Saturday last will be memorable day in the history of our work, for on that date city water from high pressure pipe of the Birmingham Waterworks company completed it's one-half mile journey and was available for drinking, bathing, cleansing, etc, so that the nurses and the patients together revelled in the sense of relief thus brought at very considerable expense.
 I am not at liberty at present to an nounce the donors name, but since the real donor Is the Almighty God. who made water so necessary to us, the spe- cia thanksgiving on Sunday morning and the great spiritual lesson of which water is the parable were very much to the point.
 Our patients are cosmopolitan crowd, and the spiritual messages given them partake of that cosmopolitanism, but water is always cosmopolitan, and speaks powerfully to the spiritual intelligence of the race.
 1 hope in day or two to make public the process of kindly interest which brought this great gift where 1t was so urgently needed; for our well had failed greatly to our horror and surprise, and 1t had become evident that dependence upon the well was to be a source of end less anxiety and distress. The greatness of or relief and the depth of our grati- ture can better be imagined than de- scribed by this pen, for the now mex haustiblei supply. Yours very truly,
 GEO. EAVES, Secretary.
