sleep in a little hay shack with Ibut
a single quilt for covering.
Mrs. Edw, Holder, after reading d
their destitution and suffering, sent in
donation, and Supt. j H. aBrinson

family, loaded his automobile with dit

- Special emphasis was laid On the
altitude of this part of our state and
its advantages for the establishment
of an institution of this kind.
d Col. Rogers also made it plain that
the goyernment-sof~ the United States
would see that no patients sent TO

with any communicable disease and
that our citizens could rest assured
that fears along this line would be
groundless. In other words, the hos

to alleviate as much as possible their
sufferings and TO aid them toward re-
coyery.l .EE-6

these offers was framed in q night
