By J. A. EDCERTON

[Copyrisht, 1906. by J. A. Edgertonl ~HE world is full of hospitals, not
 only for disease racked and
 wrecked human beings. but for dogs, horses. birds and dolls. And why not? Dolls have ailments as we'll as other folks in fact. rather more so. They lose their hair. their eyes, their teeth, their hands, their legs. their saw dust and even their compieXions and heads Small boys delight ill erippliug and maiming them, rockers smash them. big folks step on them This js hard world for dolls

 On the work table at the hospital are not only arms and legs galore, but all kinds of wigs paints, threads and cords, miniature teeth, tiny curling irons, pastes and glues, hooks and scis- sorS of many shapes and sizes and eveu au appalling assortment of glass eyes of various colors and sizes The eyes, which open and shut with weight, are placed in position through the open ing in the head. A few stitches serve to mend loose arm or leg, while hooks and cords are usually required to fix fractured joint. The paint brush touches up faded complexion, as is the case even with flesh and blood grown folks.
 There are almond eyed Chinese dolls with faded yellow complexions and long cues, Indians with feathers missing from their war bonnets. ptcka- ninuy dolls With moth eaten wool and angel faced chcrubS With a battered appearance that makes them look as ii they had been in Bowery scrimmage

Arms or legs are hanging literally by q thread. Noses are brok en. hands are minus. feet have been amputated. faces are mashed in. while the internal machinery that makes the doll cry. say "inamma' and open and shut it's eyes is out of whack as badly as some peoples livers.

Il Will Go Through.

Alderman A. Beirne Blair who Is a
member of the Special Health 1nvestiga-
ting Committee and strong advocate OF
the reorganization of the board as pro-
posed by the ordinance, was interviewed
yesterday afternoon. He said he had
heard that Messrs G. x. Pollock and
Morgan r. Mills who voted against the
proposed ordinance, were now moro ia
vorable to It and would probably now
vote for It's adoption, II amended In some
particulars. Mr.. Blair added: you can
say this much, think, without fear of
contradiction by the results, that the
committees that will meet tomorrow
night will by strong majority vote
to send the ordinance back to the Couf-
Gil. amended slightly, perhaps, with the
recommendation that It be adopted, and
will also request the Council TO call a
meeting at once to act upon the recon-
'mendatlon.
The committee may put one or two
amendments IN but all the salient feat
lres Of tho proposed ordinance Will be
retained. and we will stand by Che prln-
ciples laid down In that ordnance
Mr.. Blair thinks the ordinance, almost
exactly as now drawn. Will finally pass
all right and become the law OF the
city.
Councilman Mills was sought for last
night for an expression of his views on
the present phase of the case, but he
could not be found. either at his Office
or at the City Hall, where two commit
tees were In session.
To-nights meeting will be one Of great
interest and Importance. Tho hour is
