 Have your physician fill out the appii- cation and return it to the Capitol. IT you have, a preference for q certain san atorium, say so, and an effort will ta made to assign you a vacancy at tle institution of your choice. It is not all ways possible to admit a prspective pa tient immediately upon receipt Of the application because some of the sanatoria are full and have waiting lists for the sanatorium you select.
 It will be necessary for you to pay at least four dollars a week while you are a patient at the sanatorium. The commission cannot accept your applica- ! ton unless you furnish a guarantee for this four dollars a week If you or your friends cannot pay this amount. notify the authorities of the town in which you have a legal residence of your plight The laws of the state require the towns ! ito pay this four dollars for every resi- dent who cannot himself pay 1t. !

Four dollars is the minimum rate, but patients are ex | pected to pay as much of the cost a: they can afford, and the state will pay | the difference.

 with you besides some warm clothing
 a determination to be cheerful yourself
 and to keep others cheerful; to obey i'm
