THE OUTDOOR 
ROUTE TO HEALTH 
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 295 ) 
entire year, and when the crop of potatoes, 
carrots, rutabagas, cabbage and celery was 
harvested it was found that the storage 
room was not large enough to hold it all. 
There was no state appropriation avail¬ 
able for new buildings, so the twenty men 
at the camp, after conferring with Super¬ 
intendent F. A. Reich, decided to build 
one of logs. Under the camp method of 
treatment some of the patients were only 
able to work one hour a day; others had 
progressed so far that they could spend 
four hours a day in the manual labor by 
which their muscles were being hardened. 
So the men were divided into shifts of 
one, two, three and four hours. 
Then the actual work began. A celllar 
24 feet by 16, and 8 feet deep, was exca¬ 
vated in the side of the hill. This done, 
the men went into the native forest which 
with the lake forms the picturesque setting 
for the camp, and chopped down the great 
trees, fifteen to eighteen inches in diam¬ 
eter. Then the trees were stripped of 
bark, scraped and dragged to the building 
site where the ends were hewn so that 
the logs would fit together. A block and 
tackle was used in raising the logs to posi¬ 
tion, but as most of the logs weighed half 
a ton and as none of the patients had ever 
done work of this nature before, it taxed 
both the ingenuity and the skill of the men 
to erect the substantial log building which 
finally resulted from their efforts. 
The building is their gift to the state of 
Wisconsin, part payment for the care which 
is enabling them to become self supporting 
again. 
Another piece of work the patients re¬ 
cently completed was the building of a road 
through the woods to the camp. The road 
is about a mile long and the only imple¬ 
ments available were picks, shovels, and 
a plow drawn by a team of horses. It 
was pioneer work, all of it—hard work 
such as the convalescents can do only af¬ 
ter they have progressed beyond the stage 
of lighter tasks such as burning brush and 
caring for the grounds. But even this 
work the patients relish, both for itself and 
because they see the benefits of work 
which is hardening them physically and giv¬ 
ing them their old strength back again step 
by step.
