The most ordinary acquaintance with

Dr. Knopf, of New York, the noted

Sanatorium Is supposed to mean a
place of heating. It Is one which un
dertakes to restore health; Its doors
open with ho|ie for the sick; It Is for
the saving of life—not a place for sim
ply housing until death shall claim.
When this tuberculosis movement
was first launched It appeared that
Georgia was to have what New York,
Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Is
land. Iowa, Pennsylvania. Colorado.
Virginia- North Carolina and how many
of the other states we do not know
have In successful operation—sanatoria
where those suffering from tubercular
trouble can go and be healed.
But before the uwakened and sym

plans for any concerted action the

If the proposed sanatorium la to bo

always—heaven help us!—must take
what they can get.
But—the disease Is confined to no

find lodgment In the lung of tbs rich

unless the same precautions are ob
served by both the result must be Iden
tically the some—each will deal out
the fatal bacilli wherever his path may
