should be open to every self-respecting
man, woman or child, regardless of, his
or her ability to pay.
"They feel fuI Their that such hos
pitai should provide accommodations of
the highest order for those we'll able
to pay, and that the surplus resulting
from the use of pay rooms and wards
should be devoted to the maintenance
of rooms and wards for the poor free
OF charge or at rates so reduced as to
meet the paying ability Of the applt-
cant. g.
ut is believed that there is nothing
in the modern sanitarium in the way
Of electrical apparatus, hydro-thera-
peu1c appliances, ETC., which cannot
be properly introduced into a modern
hospital of this kind, and that rich and
poor alike may thus be afforded every
comfort and every form of treatment
tried and approved by the scientific
men of the day. It is believed to be
absolutely necessary that the hospital
be non-sectarian; that it recognize no
schools in medicine, and that it be en-
tirely free from all political affilia-
lions.
All Should Assist.
TT would be easy to show the enor-
nous material advantages to any com-
muntty or section involved in such a
movement, but an undertaking of this
nature should not rest upon any such
foundation. Our appeal for support
must and should be based upon that
sentiment of humanity which has for
all time existed in every human heart.
The relief of the poor is a grand I'M
dertaking, the amelioration of the pit
liable condition Of those who are both
poor and sick, is q much greater one,
and 1t has always proved true that the
Willingness to aid others under such
conditions is confined to no one sta
ton in life. Indeed, it is often found
that the poor give to the poor no less
than do the rich. 1t is proposed, there
fore, to give every man, woman and
child an opportunity to aid this I'M
dertak1ng, and to demonstrate through
general subscription both the necessity
for and the popularity Of the present
ENTERPRISE
I'VE seek to provide shelter and re-
lief for the sick of all classes. There is
the most pressing need for a home for
lncurables; hospital for consump-
tives; detention hospital for the in
sane; maternity wards; a pavilion, de-
voted exclusively to sick and crippled
children, and a convalescent home.
The full extent to which these plans
can be carried out depends upon the
response of our citizens to this de-
appeal to their humanity Opportu-
nifty will be given subscribers to en-
dow rooms, wards or pavilions in their
own name, or in memory of their be-
loved ones who have gone before.
Committee Is Earnest.
Your committee stands a unit upon
the firm basis of public necessity ana
welfare. Each of it's members is pos
sessed of an earnest desire to bring to
a successful conclusion this, the great
est movement ever attempted in the
Northwest. Their belief is it's ultimate
success is based, not alone upon the
assurances which have already reach
ed 1t from so many quarters, but upon
their conviction that they will receive
the united support Of their fellow citt-
zens throughout the Northwest"
