THE GARFIELD HOSPITAL.

One Hundred Cots Placed ut the Disposal
of the Citizens Committed.
The executive committee of the Garfield
Memorial Hospital. Messrs. John A. Baker
Reginald Fendall. Henry A. Willard. Sidney
Everett and Mrs. Justice Harlan, have placed al
the disposal of the medical department,
of the citizens executive committee 100
cots in the hospital for those
veterans of the q. A. II. who may need medical
care next week. Two floors of the lately CON-
pleted Miller building viii be utilized and also
one ward OF the Ladies' Aid building. Should
the necessity unfortunately arise the accommo-
not cations could easily be doubled so as to place
less thar 200 cots at the disposal of the commit
tee. The hospital ambulance will also be placed
at the committee disposal and will be ready
for instant service, day and night
HOW THE PATIENTS WILL BE CARED FOR.
Yesterday Miss Sophia F. Palmer, the super
intenden. of the hospital, kindly showed a re-
porter Of The STAR through the hospital and
explained to him the care and attendance those
admitted would receive. The Miller building
has never been used and everything il contains
has yet to be used. Like the rest of the hos
pital, il contains every convenience and COM
fort found in the modern hospital. The sani-
tary arrangements are perfect, closets and
bath rooms ON every floor, but SO arranged
that they can at all times be disconnected with
the main building. The bedsteads are of iron
with wire springs and mattresses of the most
approved manufacture. The wards are large
airy and bright and cheerful.

board Of directors OF the Ladies' aid Society"

IN CASE OF An EPIDEMIC.
Eve have also made arrangements" said
Miss Palmer. ito provide for isolation and at
tendance should any epidemic arise. The hos
pital grounds are extensive and admirably
adapted for such purposes, and in the event Of
an epidemic we could at once erect large tents
and connect them with the splendid sewerage
and water system"
Applications for admission to the hospital
should be made to DR.. y. H. Montgomery, the
resident physician, or to the medical depart
ment OF the citizens executive committee.
