KINGS DAUGHTERS HOSPITAL
Plan for Meeting the Expenses Of the
Institution.

|
Institution.
At a recent meeting of the Corpora
tors of the Kings Daughters Hospital
thu suggestion was made by some one
present, that there were great many
people in Staunton and Augusta coun-
ty who would gladly contribute a de-
finite sum each month, or year as
might suit their convenience. to the
running expenses of the Hospital and
any contribution of this sort made
would go directly to relieve the suffer
ing of those of our people who are not
in position to pay their own way. The
very exhaustive and satisfactory re-
port of the President submitted to the
Corporators at the recent anDual meet
ing, shows that charity work has been
done by the H ospital TO the amount of
Iseveral thousand dollars during the
past year. While the hope and expec
tation of the management of the hos
pital is, that the income from pay pa
l q
large amount of charity work, with
out calling on our people for special
subscriptions. still. the experience is
t lat the demands on the hospital for
charity patients are greatly in excess
of it's ability to take care of, without
outside help.
At this meeting further suggestion
was made, that the newspapers of the
town would no doubt be willing and
that they should be requested to Co
operate with the hospital is securing
these subscriptions. and committee
was appointed to wait on the various
papers. In compliance. with the re
quest of this committee, we print be-
low coupon, which will explain it..
self,
1t is to be hoped that every subscrib-
or to and reader of this paper will fill
up and mail one of these coupons as
soon as practicable to the Treasurer of
the King q Daughters Hospital, Staun.
ton, Va, Or, leave 1t with any one of
the StautOn banks. Once each month,
every paper in Staunton, daily and
weekly, is expected to print list of
the subscribers to these coupons and :
the amount subcribed, so that each
person sending in subscription, may
in this way, know his subscription has
been properly entered. Subscriptions !
for any amount will be appreciated
and helpful, 'small favors thankfully
received; large ones in proportion"
There are no doubt thousands of peo.
pie in this community, town and coun-
~, who while not financially able to !
in any considerable amount
towards this good work, yet would be
willing, if the amount were small and
hey were relieved from the trouble of
.emitting it themselves, to contribute
within their means towards to worthy
IN object. The Hospital has at this +
lime. number of subscribers who are =
giving sums ranging from 10 cents to ?
81 per month, and there are without
1oubt. hundreds of others who are L
abundantly able, and who would be
willing, to do likewise, Any su ubscrip-i
Jon however small. would be apprecl- l
ated, the idea being that these sub @
'criptions in the aggregate would as (
'ure certain fixed income, which will Q
be collected monthly by collectors ap-
pointed for the purpose and which the q
hospital authorities can count upon to I
meet current expenses. 1t is hoped l
that all of the present contributors a
who read this article, will fill out, sign {
and send in a coupon, and this will not +
be construed as an intention to increase o
their donations, but will simply put e
their subscription in a tangible shape
The management of the Hospital re-
quests that it be s. ated, that in case a
should at any time find it
more convenient to pay his or her sub 1
scription in farm products, or other '
which could be used by the 8
hospital in its current work, and q
which would save the hospital the ex-
penditure of money, payment of this
) ort will be entirely satisfactory, and {
it will not be necessary to indicate this z
On the subscription itself, unless the
subscriber prefers to do it at the time.
While the coupons provide that pay.
ment shall be made to the Treasurer of +
the Kings Daughters Hospital, all
in the way of farm products, r
or other than cash, should be made at
the hospital building on Frederick
street. II
