1t was then decided by the order OF
Kings Daughters interested in the sup.
port of the Home, that it should be
kept open until March 81, 1894, which
will complete the two years
There has been treated up to the
present time seventy.seven patients;
with a total of 1,s41 days in the hos.
pital. OF these, thirty. five we're free,
and forty-two pay patients. Tho in
come from pay patients up to this time
has been S5S2 80, or an average per
month of S34.25.
The current expenses OF the Home
have averaged about SEQ per month.
OF this amount the several orders of
Kings Daughters contribute $40 per
month. leaving about SIG 10 be pro-
vided by entertainments and voluntary
contributions.
The executive board hope that the
Home will continue to receive the lib
eral support which has been given it in
the past. Mrs. 8. w. JAMESON,
