"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. Portland
., is no more careless than the average
city In regard to the enforcement of this
,.. law. '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

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

the dread white plague. ,
Must Struggle On. "
. "Still we must struggle, and continue
to struggle." explained the most ener
getic enemy of the tuberculosis germ In
. Portland, "for our accommodations are
: far too limited for the number of suf
ferers who appeal to us, and we have
. never yet been able to put the Institu
tion upon a self-supporting basis, even
though wo. have always adhered to the
necessary rule of only taking paying pa
tients. 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

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. Until
that day comes the Portland Open Air
sanatorium is going to do all It can. and
if the charity kirmess, in which Port
land society is taking such active In
terestproves the success we all are
working hard to make it, then the sana

long way towards a bigger and better

ASTORIA PASTOR
GOES TO ISLANDS
Rev. 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.

A. L. Mills, Who Is Working for the Good -of the Anti-White Plague Cause
ttnually- appealing to us many of them

Many pathetic Cases.
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.

chase safes from those who will not enter a test to demonstrate that their product
is made as represented and furnishes the required security that the depositors in
banks are entitled to and should receive?
