With the new Hillman hospital nearing completion the work of furnishing tht wards and equipping the hospital is being entered into with great interest and en. thusiasm. The new hospital like the we'll equipped hospitals in the north. will be furnished uniformly. There will not be 8 hospital anywhere with more perfect sanitary conditions. and not piece of furniture will be used that cannot be thoroughly fumigated. The exquisite cleanliness of hospital is one of its greatest attractions. and the eternal vigi- lance that is required necessitates the furnishings of the wards to be as germ proof as possible. In the modern hospital there is no attempt at elaborate furnish ing and no exception Is made even In the private wards.
 The beds in the new hospital will be white enamel and simplicity will charac- 1 terize all the furnishings. Besides the l bed there will be a sanitary wash stand, a chifroniere, an enameled chair and three small rugs This will constitute the fur nishings of q room.
 The furnishing committee Is now com pleting the order for the hospital furni- ture. Through the chairman, Mrs. T. G. Bush, number of individuals, as well as societies, have offered to furnish memo rial wards and rooms. A list of the me- morial rooms is printed in today's Age Herald.
 The chairman said yesterday that unus- ual interest had been shown In regard to furnishing memorial rooms. The com mittee in charge of the furnishings call ed attention to this matter only few | days ago, and the prompt and liberal re- sponse indicates that the friends of the hospital were only awaiting the oppor- | tunity to show their sincere interest.
