ED. JOURNAL wish to say, on be-
half or my wife and myself to our
trends IN Shelton who have been in
terested in Mrs. Wheeler's case and
who have provided means for her to go
to the hospital for treatment, that we
arrived at the hospital Wednesday
morning and were made welcome and
put in comfortable condition.
Mrs. Wheeler's case has been exam
lned and the decision reached that a
surgical operation cannot be avoided,
Tor there is no hope of her having
health until this is done. However, a
course of medical treatment for two
weeks must first be pursued before an
operation can be performed.
The physicians are very hopeful of
good results; similar cases are being
constantly treated and ali, so far, with
success. A similar case was operated
upon just as we arrived in the hospital.
The hospital is pleasantly located,
and is provided with a very excellent
and agreeable staff of officials, sur
geons, physicians and nurses.
We wish publicly to express our
thanks to the numerous friends who
have contributed toward proch ring this
needed relief among whom tn st. Ce-
celia Club are remembered for their
kind assistance. Yours fait hfu11Y,

The first thing he bestows kick on everything

At breakfast time his oatmeal mush is either

NO matter what consistency, he'll kick, and

And then he kicks because his lunch is either

Whichever suits his fancy best, to that he's

The afternoon goes on the same, and ushers in

But just the same he keeps right on, and kicks

His evening meal no comfort brings, you'll see

No matter whether rich or plain, he'll kick, and
