new SANATORIUM BUILDING
APPROACHING COMPLETION
Will Have Accommodations for Twenty
Patients in Summer and Twelve
in Winter.

: The editor of the Chronicle had the
pleasure Saturday of visiting Pleasan
Hill and there found lively village
with a new sanatorium building as
sumlng proportion in the direction OF
completion that are very encouragin
as it shows beyond any doubt that
within a few weeks the institution
will be ready to receive patients.
The building stands on twelve acres
OF land which is part of the Frey
homestead. The location is most
slightly and presents a very attractive
view OF the surrounding country. 1t
| stands on an eminence THAT over
looks broad valley with several acres
OF cleared land ajacent to a wide
range OF forest in its primeval state,
that presents SO attractive and cheer
ing sight as to give an atmosphere
of cheer and outdoor freedom that
must beyond doubt prove great men
tai panacea for patients.
The building will have quarters that
will fully accommodate a dozen or more
patients in winter and some twenty
or more in the summer. There are
wide screened in porches on three |
sides that can be used as sleeping
porches to provide that pure outdoor
air that is SO essential for tubercular ,
patients especially. 1t is expected
that the sanatorium, which is called |
"Uplands" will be ready for use with
in few weeks, no unforeseen hind
RANGES arising. Every feature of the
building is being constructed with
special reference to sanitation and
the greatest possible amount of pure
mountain air. 4
In addition to the single building
now under construction there are ither
buildings to be constructed as rapidly
as facilities will enable and the de-
mand is made apparent. One very
and pleasing feature that
Il 10 hoped will be available at an
early date is the building of dam
which will provide a beautiful lake
hat will be in full view from the
building and that it will furnish the
pleasures of boating to such patients
IS may be able to enjoy that kind
If recreation.
DR.. May C. Wharton, most COM
'etent and highly specialized prac-
ioner, is the founder of "Uplands."
She is a woman of deep and earnest .
Christian convictions along with her :
vide and varied studies and training
nd is highly qualified to render aid :,
long the latest lines of medical +
cience. 1t is probable that very few :,
any practitioners in the state are =
nore fully equipped both in training
nd experience to render aid to the =
ick than is Dr. Wharton.
No person can be around her for
ny length of time without being
eeply impressed both with her abili-
y and the sincerity of her splendid
christian character. Pleasant Hill and
ne county are indeed fortunate that
he has decided to offer to our people
er splendid ability acquired through
ears of training and specialization. 8
: is unfortunate both for our people
nd the institution that her ability -,
not better understood and more gen
ally appreciated. But as time goes q
II we feel confident that the light al
i'll break through and within a few w
ears our people will have a much -,
ller realization and maifest much g
-eater appreciation of her splendid ~
lents and her high Christian char q
,ter. In the mean time she is ~
lietly laboring with that intense ~
al that is one of the main char .,
,teriSticS of this spelndid woman. ~
AT this time she is receiving few 81 81
ltients in her home pending the COM 81 81
elton of the new building. There ~
such wholesome atmosphere of =.
nristian simplicity about the home +.
at is within itself both assuring III
I'd most encouraging Those who =
I'VE enjoyed the benefits Of her M
lendid ability are loud in their
aises and are profuse in words of S,
epest appreciation for the services
ndered by DR.. Wharton and her hs
