CITIZENS HOLD A MEETING

Realizing Necessity In q Growing Town
modatIons. They Propose Erection of a
New Public Institution to Cost About
s26,OOO-Msy be Named the ProvIdent.
A desirable building site in the Gen.
trail part of town has been offered as
a donation to those who are supporting
the movement for another hospital in
Rock Island. Such proposition was
received at meeting last night CT
mum Der of gentlemen, representing diff
ferent religious denominations, in the
study of the First Methodist church.
Rev. G. o. McCulloch was chairman of
the meeting and Mayer Levi secretary.
Among those present were several
mem bers of the medical and surgical
staff of st. Anthony's hospital.
The contemplated new institution
niZe the present excellent hospital
conducted by the Franciscan sisters.
1t is to be provided to fill want, as
it is already realized that grow
ing city of Rock Islands impor-
lance needs more hospital facilities.
While the greatest praise was ex-
pressed for the present hospi-
tai and the capable manner in which
it is managed, those at the meeting
stated the needs for additional hosPi-
tai accommodations were so pressing
that only one way was seen out of
the difficulty, and that was to have
erected another hospital.
VIII Be Non-Sectarian.
The institution proposed is to be
public and absolutely non-sectarian.
Different names have been suggested,
but it is likely the one to be adopted
is the Provident hospital. Its proba-
BILE cost will he $4,000.

WHEN NOT TO KEEP BOOKS
out Anything to Show
for 1t.

She decided that the only way to Jun
house economically was to keep set
of books. so she made all necessary pur-
chases, including bottle of red ink,
and started in.
1t was q month later when her hus-
band asked her how she was getting
along.
''Splendidly," she replied.
.srhe system is success. then?'
Eyes, indeed. Why, I'm $66 ahead al
ready
"Sixty-six dollars!" he exclaimed.
Heavens! You'll be rich before long.
Have you started bank account?''
"No-o; not yet"
'sWhat have you done with the
money? 2"
..Oh, haven't got the money, you
know. That's only what the books
show. But just think of being sec
ahead
I'm, yes. Bnt don't exactly see
"And all in one month";. tool
'.Of course; but the money? What
has become of thaty'
Il don't exactly know" she said,
doubtfully. I've been thinking of
that. and / think we must have been
robbed. What do you think we had
better do about it 90
He puffed his pipe in solemn silence
for a mcmeft, and then suggested:
We might stop keeping books.
That's easier than complaining to the
police. IT. f. McGrath, in Woman's
