BURLINGroE's HOSPITALS.
Queen City and Medical College Are
Well Supplied.

wen SuPpneu.
We reproduce in another column an
interesting article taken from the col
lmns OF the Vermont Medical Monthly
dealing with the advantages of hospi-
tai treatment says the Burlington Free
Tress. The position taken in the edi
torial in question Is well fortified. and
every medical man will readily agree
with at least a majority of the state
ments made in that connection.
A perusol OF the article in question
win readily suggest to every reader
well posted ON the question of note
worthy hospital facilities possessed
BY this city. The Mary Fletcher hos
pital has long had a reputation much
wider than the state, and the import
ance of it's work, experimenting that
of the college of medicine of the uni.
vcrsity Of Vermont, can hardly be ex-
aggerated.
As great az has been the success of
the Mary Fletcher hospital in the past,
its work in the future must be crowned
with still more gratifying triumphs.
The new freproof buildings now being
erected, including a pay ward, new am
phitheatre, operating rooms, XRays
room, and various other rooms as well
as a double deck fireproof corridor con.
Meeting all Of the wards with the ad-
ministratoin building. together with the
new apparatus and equipment, all In.
volving an outlay Of 100000 or SO, will
put this hospital far ahead of most hos
pitfalls outside Of the largest cities, and
it is to be noted in this connection that
the work done in the hospital has long
been commended by the best authori
ties in the country.
The Fanny Allen hospital, while a
newer institution than the Mary
Fletcher hospital, has also established
an enyiable reputation for the success
Of the operations performed tnere as
we'll as for the care given patients. and
il has splendid equipment in all its de-
partments. The addition to its build
ings about to be made will enable it
to care for larger number of patients,
and will ensure 1t still wider fame as
successful institution.
Taking these two hospitals together
we doubt if there Is a town outside of
cities of the first magnitude where nos
pital facilities surprising those Of Bur
limgton can be found. and this fact cam
not fail 60 have a marked influence ON
The career of the college of medicine
whose work are of an intimate char
acter.

Times Tt looks likely The tonneau has been stripped from the handsome 1909 Elmore IA and hOmely-look- ing roadster seat has been fitted to the chaSsi. The bright red hood alone remains to show what the car once was. Painted across the hood are the letters ElmOre A Bulldog On the rear of the frame is the auxiliary gas oline tank on which is printed Los Angeles to Phoenix
 "A whistle has been placed on the car to warn traffic and will doubtless make those who are encountered on the road think for a moment that a train is coming down the road.
 "F. C. Fenner of the White garage has repeated his intention of entering if the Locomobile goes in or some other car of that class. but reiterates that he will not go in competition with the Kisselkar and the Elmore with no others.
 An extra tank has been placed on Black Bess directly over the two cylinder cylindrical ones on the rear Of the car. It can be utilized to carry an extra supply of water and its addition is taken as an indication of Fenner's belief that the Locomobile will go in.
 As R. J. Leavitt will enter if it is possible for him Co get back from Seattle in time the probability of a four-sided contest with a side bet of S1O0O between two of the entrants seem very probable at the present time"
