able system.

In these hard times. when everyone
feels the scarcity of money, it is especi-
ally Incumbent upon a man to provide
every insurance possible against want
and distress Nothing brings an indus
trious man to that condition so quickly
and surely as illness or injury. 1t is
therefore a duty which every mar owes
TO himself and to society to keep in good
health if possible. Unfortunately he is
not always able to do so even in this
most hcalthful climate 50 it becomee his
duty to make arrangements, while in
health, for his care and attendance in
sickness. Some have comfortable homes
and are able to pay for good nursing and
medical attendance but there is "A large
class of people in this community who
have not such homes and would not be
able to pay for such nursing and attend
ance through "A long period of illness, as,
for instance. a typhoid fever or a frac
tured limb.
1t is to meet the requirements OF this
class that hospitals find one important
field Of usefulness: Great Falls is forum
ate in having A. ample and well equip
ped institution Of this character. The
good Sisters Of Charity have established.
and have nearly ready for opening, ii
hospital which would he IA credit to any
city in the land. 1t is to be equipped
with the most improved furnishing and
material for the treatment of disease
and injury. The patients will re nursed
and cared for by the ladies of the sister
hood who have Zealously devoted them
selves to this object and whose lives are
cOnsecrated to good works without hope
of fame and reward. The stall consists
Of several Of the best known and most
successful physicians Of this city who
propose to devote their best energies 10
the upbuildIng here Of a great institu-
ton. The consolidation with the Great
Falls Genera Hospital recently effected
gives ample room for the accommoda-
ton of a large number of patients even
before the completion of the new build
ing probably in December).
With c~ommendable fore sight the en-
ployes at the smelters, etc. are provided
with the privilege of the hospital by the
payment of monthly fees. 1t is now pro-
posed to extend these benefits to others
who may deed them by issueing hospital
tickets. These tickets are for the peroid of
six months or one year and will be sold
to any person Of ordinary good health.
The holder of such ticket is entitled
during the time specified to board. nurs-
ing, medicines and medical and surgical
attendance at the hospital, free of cost.
1t is. in fact. an improvement on all
accident and benefit assurances and will
prove a boon to many a clerk, bookeeper,
and wage-earner, in every line. The cost
of such a ticket is SD a year or So for
six months. With the additional privil-
age of a private room, $50 a year, or 5l2
for six months. Such tickets are now
on sale and may be obtained from the
Sisters on application or from the mem
bers OF the staff-viz., Drs. Ladd, Longe-
way, Adams, and Sweat.
There is a hard winter ahead and it is
the duty Of every man, who can do so, to
throw an anchor to the windward by
purchasing a ticket. lie will also have
the satisfaction OF feeling thath he Is help
ing along an institution worthy of all
support and a credit to Great Falls.
