A. E. Rowlands. vice president of the
Rotary club, who presided in the alb
sence Of president Adams, added his
praise to ths institution and said he
believed humanity owed a debt to two
men who could plan and carry into
execution such place for the rest and
care Of the afflicted
Arrest of TubercuIOsis.
DR.. Hendricks, speaking for himself
and Mr.. Harvey, told of the ambitions
they had when they first planned the
institution and said he was glad their
plans had worked out TO such a salts
factory END. He related the history of
tuberculosis, which, he said, was older
than the Christian era, but declared
that 1t rad been but few years since
its cause and treatment had been dis
covered. He declared that every state
west of the Rocky mountains is a
monument to the cases Of tuberculosis
arrested or cured and said that theme
is no longer any doubt that the disease
can be arrested and in thousands Of
cases cured, if taken in time and
treated properly.
A Natural SanntOrium.
The west, Dr. Hendricks declared, is
the natural sanatorium for the cure of
the disease and FL Paso is as favored
as any community in the west in this
respect This is proved, ne said, by the
few cases that have developed here.
Only seven such cases have come to
the attention of physicians in the past
10 years, he declared, and these We're
no doubt caused by germs carried in
the dust, a result of failure on the part
Of those afflicted to exercise proper
care.
Besides the serious speeches, there
was much story telling and good
natured grid -irOnIng, and, on the whole,
the evening was most pleasantly spent,
the early part following the inspection
of the building, in front OF. the cracking
log fire in the great living room, while
the orchestra rendered various lively
airs. When Dr. Hendricks and Mr..
RoWlands led the company into the
dining room, which overlOoks a palm
decked patio, the orchestra took station
outside the room and continued its
concert between speeches and stories.
