MILITARY HOSPITALS.
Report on Facilities by Surgeon Gen
eral O'Reilly,

Surgeon General O'Reilly of the army has
made brief report to the Secretary of War
in regard to military hospital facilities in
the District of Columbia.
I'm 1S9S." says the surgeon general, 1.-The
post hospital at Washington barracks was
changed by order of the Secretary of War
TO a general hospital. and later Company
of the Hospital Corps was attached to It,
The usefulness of this hospital, under dI-
rect control OF the surgeon general, for
the treatment OF special cases. for the ex-
animation and treatment OF officers tenn
porarily or permanently incapacitated. for
training hospital corps recruits in nursing
and for instruction In connection with the
Army Medical School soon became so ap-
parent that II was desired to make the in
stitution permanent, particularly also as
such permanent esta tablishment would make
nucleus capable OF quick expansion into
a base hospital In time of war
ITO meet all requirements il was neces-
sary that new and adequate hospital be
erected on a suitable site. AS stated in my
previous reports, with the approval of the
Secretary of War. this matter was first
laid before Congress in 1902. 1t Is a matter
for congratulation that favorable action was
secured last session. when 100000 was ap-
propriated for the purchase of site and
contracts up to 500 900 additional were au-
thorized for building.
"A site Of forty-three and a half acres on
high ground. not far from the Soldiers
Home with Street car and other facilities,
has been recommended and its purchas Sc
has been approved by the Secretary of War.
On this site adequate permanent huiid-
ing will be erected
1t Is hoped that in time Congress will see
the advisability of placing on these grounds
a suitable academic building for the Army
Medical School, barrack for a cornpany Of
Hospital Corps, officers quarters and other
buildings, and possibly, also, with the
city's expansion, new building for the H.
orary and museum, surgeon generals office.
so making a complete medico-militarv &C.
tabiishment for medical and educational
purposes which would be of InestimahIa
value TO the medical department and
through II to the army as a whole"

A LITTLE STEALTH.
LET NOT THY LEFT HAND KNOW WHAT

WHEN THE LEFT is A BIT CRANKY.

Some Of the most lovable and best people In the
world are cranky, and ''leetle" hard to manage
particularly wnen you want to do them good
Then It is that justlfable and righteous artfuIness
may be resorted to. As, for instance In the fol-
lowing case given by devoted wife and mother
in Iowa:
Tails spring my daughter, who is a teacher be-
came convinced that coffee was doing her HARM
II caused distress and belching after eating
She felt that she needed a warm drink In the
morning. but dsliked hot water milk. Then
daily OF Grape-Nuts suggested Postum
For time my husband. who has been
user OF coffee from his youth, had been more than
usually troubled with seeplessness and nervous
ness. and felt that Postum might be helpful to
him. The question was how TO persuad, them to
leave OF drinking coffee and try Po1um against
which they had repeatedly expressed prejudice I
resolved to try an experiment and make the test
Without acquainting them with the fact made
Postum according TO directions. but added a tea
spoonful OF good coffee. poured II out with some
misgiyings, but delighted TO see that no one
could tell from its appearance that It was not
rich. strong coffee. Its use was continued for
week with the coffee addition. then that was grad
ually Withdrawn. until only the pure Postum re-
mained, and still the change had not been de-
tected.
Two things were very noticeable however
that my daughter had begun to rapidly improve In
health. her dyspepsia left, and my husband was
enjoying sweet. refreshing sleep.
when Yentured TO tell them what had done
he asked for a return TO the coffee and gladly
made 1t for him; but day satisfied him. the
old sleeplessness came hack, and he told me he
liked the Postum better SO We have used 1t ever
since to the benefit of the whole family" Name
