Immediately set about making the in
terror a comfortable habitation.
Adjutant McFee. who has been so prom
inently connected with the army the past
six years and who has recently been
called East by Commander Booth Tucker
has been planning for the last six months
the erection of an army hospital.
The hospital will be conducted in the
interests of the self-respecting poor who
will receive first-class treatment and
nursing at such rates as the working
people can afford. Their idea in the es-
tablishnent of such hospital is to pre-
vent those who otherwise could not afford
medical treatment and attendance from
becom ing chronic invalids.
Donations of everything that will make
the hungry, half-clad poor happy and
comfortable have been pouring in at
the Salvation Army headquarters. The
army has rented a store at 668 Folsom
street, where the donations will be stored
until the time comes for the general DIS
tribution just after Christmas. Only really
urgent cases will be relieved at present,
Tor the army is busy preparing for its
Christmas dinner, which will be a grand
success, for the public has responded gen.
erously. The following donations have
