HOW TO CARE FOR A
CONSUMPTIVE

This must be done Gin the right
place, in the right way, and at the
right time, until he is cured; instead
of the wrong place, in the wrong
way, and at the wrong time. until he
is dead
Leading physicians are of the opin-
on that every consumptive if possible
should enter sanatorium as the
RIGHT PLACE for instruction and
treatment Statistics show that patti
ents in sanatorium have twice the
chance for recovery as have patients
in hotels and boarding houses in the
same neighborhood.
1t is the constant daily care and
close observation of the sick con-
sumDtive and the attention given his
manner Of living. regulation of rest
and exercise, by trained medical men
that turns the balance so decidedly in
favor of the patients in the sanator-
ium.

The way we counted five touch
downs and two goals from touch
down, following the scoring system
as laid down in the official rule book,
the score totaled for Morgan City
thirty two points, and as the oppos-

and never tried to kick goal from
field, we failed to observe that they
