Trudeau Sanitarium, Hachette. A quiet hour under the pine trees. The children have a splendid place to play in the big park that surrounds the Trudeau Sanitarium at Hachette, near Paris. The manor house of Hachette is an AMERICAN RED CROSS hospital for tubercular women. In the grounds nearby barracks have been built where about 180 children are housed, each for a period of three months or more. They are under-nourished children of tubercular tendencies, many of whom have tubercular parents. They are brought from bad living conditions in the cities, and the good nourishment and outdoor life at Hachette go far to establish their health pemanently
