"W ara way behind the times." said 1 Mr. Mills ' In an interview, "In. our neglect of this, really appalling- peril' to 'publio health. Why, when one stops to : think of it, it seems sin amazing thing - inai a nation so progressiva aa ours, and so well advanced In medical science, . . has actually done nothing; towards ef- - xectuai protection from this acluiowi- edeed danger that threatens from street . -. and sidewalk, from the floors of our publio courts and halls, And even from the walks and about the resting places In our beautiful publio grounds. "Of course," said ha, we have noted l feeble attempt at precautionary legi slation In the anti-expectoration law, ut we all know that this law is prac- . so far as actual results s. By. stand- . ing on any down town street corner any afternoon, one may witness a nun orea violations or this law. without a single arrest or any manner of inter ference from the authorities.

'but this fact only emphasises the national lack of Interest in what ought lo be of vital and personal Interest to . each individual Aremican. Work rox Good. "It was four years aoro " auM Mr Mills, "that a few. of us who feel deeply on this subject, got together and se cures a location on tne crest or a wooded hill out beyond Milwaukia. The site was en ideal one, and we could not have done better In that regard, but how we : did work to get the sanatorium Itself started, and on a working basis. We managed to erect a small building for mo executive worn, ana to stake out rew tents provided with - dry board flooring. Then we got together sifgie . warm bedding, and took in 'our first patient. We struggled on, and have uevetLceaafld Jtottruggln. although -after iime w got upon an almost com- lortaoio rooting, and we grew and ex panded until now we have a fine admin istration building, equipped with nurses ..,nu pnysicians- orricea and cooking and dining room 8, an open air auditorium, and 14 model open air cottages arranged in a large quadrangle, enclosing cultl- - vated lawns with shade trees. Pic turesque pains mrougn the wooded por .' tion of the uncultivated tract have been cut by Interested attendants and patients who have come back to strength and . health under the sanatorium treatment, so that now the institution on the crest yt u nm oeyona jauwauKle has come uo n lucai nome tor surrerers from the dread white plague. , Must Struggle On.

In many instances of course we have done the best we could for suffer ers who were out of funds, and some of the generous patronesses of the sanato rium have personally paid for other suf- 1 fererB, The dav must anrniv nm. not only from a sense of humanity to the afflicted ones, but as a necessary protection to the general health, public funds will be provided for Ins isolation and treatment of consumptives.

William Seymotir Short Accepts Call to Ha waiian Church. (Bpeolal Plapetcs to The Jour a).) Astoria, Or., March to.- The Rev. Wil liam Seymour Short, rector of Grace Episcopal church In this city, has ten dered his resignation to the vestry of the church to accept a call to a church in the' Hawaiian islands, not far from the city of Honolulu. For 21 years Mr. Short has been th rector of Grace church, and the news of his resignation was received hers with surprise and re tret. It is no exaggeration to say that he has baptized, confirmed or married half of the American people of this city. The call comes from Bishop Restarlck of the Hawaiian Islands, and Mr. Short expects to give up his church here in the earlv bart of the summer. His daughter, MIhs Carrie Short, is now In Portland, and is the assistant organist at the Cathedral there. She will also go, as she has accepted the offer as or ganist of the Cathedral at Honolulu. The Rev. Mr. Short is very well known throughout the state of Oregon, and he numbers his friends and acquaintances by the thousands. In point of years of active service, he is tne oiaest .episco pal minister In Oregon. - This challenge appeared in The Des JWoines Register and Leader and The Even ing Tribune, February 17. i V mtitnn A.

Manv nathetln rjisea h.vn been han dled by the sanatorium in the treatment 01 more than 600 patients since the es tabllshment in 1906, nd among these Mr. .urns mentioned mat 01 an unfortu nate man who feebly climbed the hill one day and explained that he had suffi cient funds for a few weeks of treat ment. "We took him In," said Mr. Mills, "but he was too far gone, and we knew his case was hopeless. Perhaps the poor fellow realized this himself, and only hoped to die In the shelter of the sana torium. If we had only known what was going on in the poor -fellow's mind we could have at least given him this privilege, but he was very proud and took Dalns not to let uA know that he was coming tojthe end of his resources. One"" day when "tnVTauTse"aBrbus'y in another cottage this poor man picked up his little belonerinc-s and sliDned away, penniless. He walked over the hlU to the poor farm, somehow manag ing to make this exertion, and aoueht shelter there. They put him out In a tent and tried to do what they could for him, but he had only been there two .days when he ended it all cut his throat from ear to ear with, a razon "These things are very disturbing wnen one stops to tnink now they are going on all the time, with no helping hand held out to this most helpless and hopeless class of all sufferers," con cluded Mr. Mills, "and I hops the char ity kirmess will not only raise us a good fund, but will bring the importance of the tuberculosis question before the publio in an Impressive way. ' That much can be done even for natlenta who are far advanced has been proven by our work at. the sanatorium, and our' record of 21 absolute cures means even more," Mr. Mills particularly wished that the appreciation of the kirmess management ior tne mna contribution or tne Third regiment. O. N. O.. of its armory for the big charity entertainment be expressed. The date now anounced finally for the kirmess "Is Tiiesday and Wednesday evenings, April 18 and 14, and Thursday and Friday evenings, April IS and 17, witn Baturaay matinee. Tne Armory will be dark on Wednesdav eveninsr. April 16, in order to allow the dancers and other charity workers an oportun Ity to rest. 2 WIDOWS LAIM SHREDDED FLESH Mutilated Kemains of Pow der Mill Victims Cannot Be Identified.
