MOUNTAINS COME
TO SICK MAHOMEDS
No Longer Need Suffering
Tubercular Patients
Go to Mountains
for Benefit.
ESSENCE OF CURE FOUND
Scientists Have Discovered That the
Violet Ray of Higher Attitudes
Was Life Saver - Now Bring
Ray to Patient.

In Europe and even in America in
the past when victim was pronounced
tubercular, if his means would permit,
he was hurried to Switzerland and to
the Alpine heights where the patient
stood, it was believed, the best chance
for recovery in any known locality.
Doctors themselves were not able to
tell why the life in the higher attitudes
was beneficial but they knew this was
the case if the patient were able to en-
dure the rarifed atmosphere which went
with the higher attitudes.
Later physicians who made expert
ments found that residence in Colorado
mountains and other high attitudes in
the United States proved quite as bene-
ficial as did the Alpine sojourns, but
still they did not understand the rea-
son, and always they found that pa
tients were likely to be badly affected
by the rarified atmosphere.
Now they know why the patients
found health in the Alpine heights after
they had lost it in the lowlands It
was merely that because of the clearness
of the atmosphere certain violet ray
of the spectrum reached the high alti-
tudes while it was lost to the ray of
sunlight before it reached the lower al
titudes. When this discovery was made,
recently, the introduction of the violet
ray treatment became immediately a
great factor in the curing of tubercu-
1osis.
No longer did the patient, like Mo-
hammet of old, have to go to the noun
tain. The mountain came to the pa
tient, or at least all the good effects of
the mountain life could be brought him
and beside he could be spared the dan
ger which always attended. upon the
change from the denser atmosphere of
low attitudes to the rare ones of the
higher attitudes.
This week Willowbrook sanitorium re-
ceived what is called the Alpine lamp
in intensified form to the patient and
gives him all the benefit he might de-
rive from residence in the mountains
of Switzerland, Colorado or New Mexico
with none of the attendant dangers. In
those places he is deprived of the food
and comforts which he is accustomed to
through his temperate zone residence
and these are often important factors
of cure or lack of cure.
Already the treatment has been be-
gun and "Little Joe," whose sad case
has interested all Kenosha, was the
first one to whom it was given. The
little lad, after basking in the benefi-
cent violet rays yesterday afternoon,
dozed off, entirely free from pain and
slept as happily as if he had never
learned at first hand what suffering
meant.
Other patients are receiving the same
treatment and everyone of them de-
scribes the sensation as stimulating and
pleasant and says that it leads them
to sleep soundly afterward.
Miss Hayes, superintendent of the
sanitorium, has made a special study of
the violet ray treatment and will take
personal supervision of it's administra-
ton. The patient receives especial
care during the period that he is being
treated by the Alpine lamp.

LIVELY NIGHT DOWNTOWN.
Those Who Retired at Curfew Time
Last Night Were Few and Far
Between in Kenosha.

Many small groups were gathered in
different places downtown last night to
get the election returns, and one of the
liveliest aggregations was that in the
Methodist church parlors where some
500 people assembled to get returns
which came in on a private wire.
Indoor baseball, talks, music and
games helped to speed the evening
along to a late hour. The long counter
in the east basement room served as
table where hundreds of sired hots'
were served and with them were drunk
as many cups of coffee, while those ad-
dicted to the ice cream habit were able
to satiate it as cones were plentiful.
