The following was promulgated by the
WOman's Relief Corps of Wichita: We
would say to our friends in the city and
that the Ladies Auxiliary of
Garfield Relief Corps, No. 49," have in
the building of a hospital
in this place. We are led to take this
step by the fact that in the past year a
of persons who have been sick
or disabled, though possessing sufficient
means, have found it impossible to pro-
cure good rooms and nursing. There
are q number who depend on their daily
labor for the maintenance of their famil-
les. Should sickness occur, the income
Is at once cut of, and only in such a
home as we propose can suitable care be
had at small expense. We thus hope
10 benefit all classes and conditions, and
IN the advance of our plans, ask the sup
port of our friends in the city and coun-
Try. We propose to begin in small and
way-the growth and use

n the vicinity of town, easy of access,
md still for enough removed to insure
,uiet to the sick. For the reason our
grounds must be large enough, that in
he future we may not be crowded by
,ther buildings. 1t has been suggested
o us that there were probably one hun
lred men in the county, who would give
me hundred dollars each, payment to
,e made quarterly. If such sum could
,e assured, or any approximate sum, we
hould feel safe in making definite plans
