VINO depicts the wonderful growth of
the demands on such institutions by
the following complaint:
Are the citizens of Ottumwa
asleep? How many know the crowded
and limited capacity of the ottumwa
hospital? Listen and learn a few of
the facts:
There are several sufferers impa-
tiently waiting until room can be found
for them in the hospital. Think of
the medical cases, some of them lying
in small, crowded rooms, some with
out anyone able to rende" them the
smallest service Tor lack Of hospital
ROOM Think of the suspense aud
agony of a patient VINO knows he must
have surgical assistance, having to sit
down and wait unfit room can be found
for him at the hospital.
The generous hearted citizens have
provided a place for few. Having
begun the good work, are they going
to remain inactive and satisfied with
a small beginning? .
"The women of Ottumwa have taught
us what can be done. Will not the cit
izcns continue to show their apprecia.
ton OF their efforts and again come
to their assistance? A hospital is the
best life insurance community can
nave.
1.-THE present crowded condition is
an injustice to suffering humanity 1t
is also an injustice to the physician,
There is not sufficient room to accom-
modate the patients. Some remain at
home, some seek assistance at otneT
institutions.
Lastly, it is an injustice to the
nurses. There are not enough nurses
to do full justice to their patients or
themselves. There is not sufficient
room for the present nursing staff
Where shall quarters be found for the
patients and the nurses?

There has been complaint in recent
years that the state conventions were
too large. The next convention will
be composed of only ~ per cent as
many delegates as the last. The con-
vention will be entirely independent
Of the new primary law, as Ora Will
Iiams thus explains in letter from
Des 44oines to the Marshalltown
Times.Republican
''Tne new primary law has nothing
whatever to do with the next state
conventions, as the first primary will
not be held until several months after
the conventions are held None Of
the rules which have been made Tor
governing conventions or the selection
of delegates will apply. There will
be no selection of new state commit
tee at the first convention, as That is
specifically provided for IN the pri-
mary law and must be done at the con
vention which follows the primary,
which will be held in July. 1t will not
be possible, therefore. to organize for
the work OF the national campaign un-
til in July of next year"

admit that there is SOME question
about reducing railway rates without
i1juring the companies, but practical
ly everybody is agreed that express
rates are extortionate and express

companies, have never excited the ire

HOW HOSPITALS GROW.

About ten years ago the good people
of that city established the first hos
pital IN ottumwa. 1t was an old dwell
ing remodeled for the purpose and ac
commodated about 20 patients com
fortably. This soon proved too small
for the needs OF the city, and about
TIA years ago $4,000 was raised by
public subscription and new and
modern hospital building erected. This
cares for about forty patients, though
fifty have been crowded into 1t IN

Boston is the banner union cigar

that there isn't in that city one manu-
facturer Of non-union cigars On the
other hand, the output Of union cigars
in Boston has reached the enormous
total Of more than 100000 a day. In
the factories and shops, large and
small, only union cigarmakers are EN-.
ployed. There are twenty-five fac
tories which employ not less than ten
hands each. One firm employs over
700 hands. Unionism in the cigar
making trade has had it's ups and
downs in Boston, as elsewhere. The
first union was organized in 1883,
eight months prior to the formation
Of the Cigarmakers' International
Union. Today one union., No. g. has

grown steadily in membership and in

conditions Of employment advanced.

RISING AGAINST DISHONEST
COMPUTING SCALES.

movement is becoming general for
for the inspection Of the computing
scales which are now commonly used
by retailers. Massachusetts, has en-
acted a law "for the testing and seal
ing of weights, measures and balances
having a device for indicating the
price as well as the weight of COM
mod1ties offered for sale,' but other
states which are provided with laws
providing for official supervision of
weights and measures can attempt a
cure of the evil by simply formulating
regulations covering, the computing
scale
The computing scale gives the seller
the benefit Of odd ounces in indicating
the price, and this small concession
amounts to great deal when a con-
sumner makes many purchases in small
amounts 1t certainly amounts to a
great deal for the dealer in the course
of a days business. The erroneous
computation is equivalent to weight
ing Of the scale, and the trick is there
fore on par with the schemes Of
! dishonest retailers who load their
scale pans in order to swindle their
patrons.
The mere enactment of laws will
not cure this evil. There must be
rigid enforcement by officers who can
! not be induced to become parties to
collision. The best cure lies with the
buyer, who If he persists in exercising
his right to full and accurate weight
can compel a retailer to make hts
prices harmonic with the exact
weight of the goods. If buyers will
display opposition to the use of dis
| honest computing scales there would
F; soon be effort in the part of retailers
; to show that their scales are correct
At present most purchasers take
everything for granted never noting
the weight Indicated by the scale.
| There is no implication of dishon-
esty when a buyer looks after the
matter of weights, and retailers who
"play fair would not resent such in
terest. On the contrary, they would
welcome a development of interest in
the character of weights and meas
ures, as would remove the advantage
which dishonest retailer has over
one who endeavors to give full weight
and measure.
