FOR CONSUMPTIVES Worthy Enterprise Established in Southern Cal ifornia So Arranged That Patients May Be Self Supporting v yrPW jffiavffia8PgWeMv A New York paper pubishes an ac count of a successful effoFt recently made by Mr N O Nelson in South ern California to provide for the poor er classes Mr Nelson has established at Indio in Southern California what he calls a health camp for consump tives We quote the following de scription of this worthy enterprise with the hope that it may encourage others to do likewise for certainly no more beneficent work can be under taken by anyone The camp is located in a desert valley cut off from the ocean by the mountains There is no rain no fog no clouds The winter days are all warm the nights comparatively cold The camp was established in De cember 1902 to provide in part for the large number of consumptives and other invalids who go to Southern California Most of the invalids have little means they can not afford ex pensive sanitariums and are not want ed by hotels and boarding honses To meet the requirements of such patients Mr Nelson bought one hun dred and- twenty five acres of land ad joining the Indio depot This tract he has improved by sinking artesian wells and by putting most of the land under cultivation in order to give con valescents something to do Tents with all necessary equip ment for sleeping and taking meals have been set up Land and water are free to those who have their own ouint a smaa rental tor tents is made to those who can not pay and where necessary board is given them All expenses reed not be more than from 250 to 400 a week Work is provided for those who are able to do it so that their care does not become a burden on the camp The camp is situated in the midst of a sandy valley one hundred miles long and three to ten miles wide The mountains on each side rise by degrees to four thousand and five thousand feet high In some places in the foothills there are springs and vegetation In the valleys most of the land has been taken up in the past few years The crops of melons and vege tables are early and bring high prices J rium ivv io suu an acre is an ordinary yield Alfalfa hay is cut ten Alcohol and Tuberculosis Dr S A Knopf the eminent New York physician who has given a great deal of attention to the subject of tuberculosis took occasion not long since in a scientific paper to condemn the popular notion that alcohol is a remedy for consumption He says There is an idea that alcohol is a remedy or even a specific remedy for consumption There has never been a greater mistake made Alcohol has never cured and never will cure tuberculosis It will either prevent or retard recovery It is like a two edged weapon on one side it poi sons the system and on the other side it ruins the stomach and thus prevents this organ from properly digesting the necessary food Truly pathetic are the results of this erroneous doctrine in the families of the poor where in stead of procuring good nourishment for the invalid liquor has been bought in far too large quantities so that often there was not enough money left for food for the sufferer nor for the other members of the family Predisposition to Tuberculosis The abnormal fear of tuberculosis which haunts so many minds is bred of ignorance The awful results of the white terror have impressed themselves upon all but as with the aborigine when he first encountered the gun bearing explorer the reason why is hidden The native heard the gun speak and saw his brother fall The sudden death terrified him He did not stop to inquire the cause He fled in abject fear To day the ravages of tuberculosis are stupendous Are you inquiring into the why or are you trembling lest it seize you Are you trying to dodge an inscrutable foe or are you studying to give intelligent battle The tenement dweller says I can not escape the plague I will await my turn The son or brother of a con sumptive says It is in the family I must suffer the same death The weakened victim of intemperance or neglect of vital laws says My con stitution is wrecked I am no match for this relentless foe Dr Knopf asks and answers the following pertinent query Who are the individuals who must be particu larly careful so as not to be attacked by the almost ever present tubercle bacillus There are four classes First those who have a hereditary predisposition to consumption secondly those who have weakened their system and thus predisposed themselves to consump tion by the intemperate use of alco holic beverages by a dissipated life by excesses of all kinds etc thirdly those whose constitution has been weakened through disease fourthly those whose occupations trades or professions such as printing hat mak ing tailoring weaving and all occu 1 pations where the worker is much ex posed to the inhalation of various kinds of dust have rendered them particularly liable to consumption Let every one take courage and live above tuberculosis If you are already suffering from it strive to rise above it Avoid alcoholic beverages condi ments pastries tea and coffee Live out of doors provide fresh air for your bed room study the laws of your body and return to the natural way of living Food for Brain Workers Mental work requires much food than does physical labor less Re- cent careful experiments which have been made show that men engaged in active mental labor and abstaining from muscular exertion require prac tically no more food than men at rest This is a fact of very great Import ance for students ministers and oth er professional men whose occupation does not require any condfvable amount of effort since the taking of food in excess of that which Is re quired results in the filling of the blood with poisons and in conse quence crowding of the tissues with tissue wastes and poisonous matters which interfere with all the bodily functions and especially with the functions of the brain and nerves Mental activity is clouded sleep may be prevented and all the effects of nervous exhaustion produced by a comparatively slight expenditure of energy giving rise to languor some times depression and at other times irritability confusion and indecision of mind even moroseness and melan choly That Tired Feeling The condition of lethargy produced by excessive eating or habitual drunk enness must be distinguished from fa tigue due to work Persons in this condition often decline to exercise be cause they feel so tired This state of lassitude and enervation cannot be overcome by rest Carefully graduat ed exercises and regulation of the di etary are the proper remedies There are many chronic invalids whose suf feiings and disability are wholly due to this cause and who may be read ily restored to usefulness by a spare and simple dietary combined with out- times a year giving twelve to fifteen f door exercises gradually increased in tons an acre When the campers get well enough to work they buy or lease a few acres They can either buy the land on the instalment plan or lease it on shares for such length of time as de sired igor and duration as the strength im proves Water Purification A pli3sician connected with the United States Agricultural department has called attention to the fact that an extremely small quantity of sul phate of copper will prevent the growth of algae in lakes ponds and storage reservoirs and will destroy tjphoid and cholera germs The ques tion at once arises whether this meth od can be considered thoroughly hy gienic The probability is that the small amount of copper thus em ployed would be neutralized by com bining with vegetable substances so that the water will be left practicaily pure nevertheless the addition of chemical substances to water cannot be considered the most desirable method of purification Boiling and filtering through a Pasteur filter are really the best methods Filters are cheap and boiling is an easy and sim ple process The old fashioned char coal and gravel filters cannot be re lied upon Warning Against Tight Corsets Nature abhors a vacuum There is no unoccupied space in the body and to render any part of it smaller than nature designed is to cause the or gans occupying that part to diminish in size or to crowd together one upon another In either case natures proc esses are sadly interrupted C E Hastings M D SOME SIMPLE DISHES Breakfast Toast Cut rather thin slices of bread into two or three pieces Put these into the oven and let them bake very slowly for two or three hours or until of a golden color and crisp throughout This is an ex cellent substitute for breads and much more wholesome It is delicious served with cocoanut or dairy cream or but ter Cocoanut Cream Cut fresh cocoa nut into thin slices and grind the nut very fine in a chopper or some strong hand mill If nothing of this sort is available the cocoanut may be grated To each cup of the prepared nut add one cup of hot water stirring and heating with a spoon to extract as much of the juice as possible Drain off the liquid and add a similar quan tity of hot water and after beating again very thoroughly strain through a cloth or very fine sieve pressing out all the liquid possible This may be used at once as a substitute for milk to be eaten with rice or other grains or to prepare puddings or sauces It is excellent served with granose flakes or eaten with zwie back If placed on the ice for a few hours the cream will rise to the top and may be taken off making a pure cocoanut butter Strawberry Egg nog Beat the yolk and white of one egg separately and to each add one teaspoonful of sugar To the yolk add one teaspoonful of lemon juice and two tablespoonfuls of strawberry juice Stir in the white leaving enough to serve as a meringue for the top t h fl Js 1 r j w vi i r r 4 i f u A k 1 hi W
