county as the day has been set apart
as the date for the laying of the corner
stone of the county tuberculosis sana-

monies attending the laying of the

field meet for men and women in this

monies and he is now collecting lot
of interesting documents showing the

box in the corner stone. The hand
some marble stone which will form the
corner of the building, has been pre-
sented to the county by William fl.
Morse. Contractor John Larsen is
booked to lay the corner stone but it
is expected that John T. Yule, former
ly chairman Of the county board, who
has been one Of the hardest fighters to
secure the building of the sanatorium,
will have the honor of spreading the
first mortar on the stone. AT this time
the sanatorium will be formally
christened "The Willow Brook Sana-
torium."
