8 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. FATT’RDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1906. NEWS OF THE SECRET ORDERS Conducted by CLAUDE NEALY. FRATERNAL ORDERS PLAN GREAT SAN ITAR TAM FOR CURE OF CONSUMPTION By M. D. GLEASON. The management* of molt all of the fraternal Inaurance order* In thl* country and Canada are very much In terested In the proposed National Fra ternal Sanatorium for consumptive* that will be located at La* Vega*, New Mexico, a contract having recently been made with the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Company and a deed ex ecuted, conveying to the National Fra ternal Sanatorium Association a large tract of valuable'propery that will be suitable to establish what will no doubt prove to be one of the greatest In stitutions of it* kind the world "has ever *een. Expert authorities have agreed that there Is no place In this or any other country where the climate and natural surroundings are as good as that In the region around Las Vegas, which Is about 40 miles from Santa Fe, N. M. The countless thousands dying In this country every year of consump tion ha* at times made all thoughtful people shudder at the awful Inroads this dreaded disease I* making. It Is Indeed a sad sight to see a loved one or dear friend or neighbor slowly wast ing away, and we standing Idly by and not lifting a hand to help them prolong life, mainly through our lack of knowledge In knowing what to do to help them. , The writer believes that one of the highest duties a man owes to his fel low man Is to help those who are not able to help themselves In whatsoevei manner they may need help and you are able to render that assistance, Statistics, authorities and Informa tion show that consumption can be cured and Is being cured at a very gratifying per cent by living In the open air In certain sections of our country. Surely the Information con tained In the eighth annual report of the Massachusetts, State Sanatorium, dated September 30, 1004, ought to be a ray of hope to those about to despair, and encourage them. Thl* sanatori um Is located In a climate that has severe winters. The percentage of cases treated and disease arrested and patients dismissed from that Institu tion were as follows: 1398-1100, 64.#: 1809-1000, 72.0; 1900-1901, 78: 1901- 1002, 72; 1902-1903, 73.6; 1903-1904, 76.8. Thl* I* truly a wonderful showing and clearly demonstrates what has been done In Massachusetts with Its climate could be Improved upon In the Southwest, where the winters are less severe. The National Fraternal Congress and American Associated Fraternities, with their great combined membership of over 10,000,000 fraternal people, are back of this proposed Fraternal Sana torium and will establish It for the benefit of the many societies embraced in these national organization*.
