HILLCREST HOSPITAL OF PITTS FIELD, MASS. ANNOUNCEMENT
l pr. Richardson Explains About Pay Patients and Charity Work.


 Patients and Charity Work.
 So many letters of inquiry are ad- dressed to the treasurer of the Hillcrest hospital relative to the rates charged i'll the hospital that it might not be out of place to make a public announcement for the general information of the public.
 Patients are taken into the institution at whatever rate they are able to pay and if poor. no charges are made for operations or treatment.
 The rates 1T those who can pay are from $10 to $25 per week, according to location and character of furnishings, etc
 A patient may have any physician, surgeon or specialist attend them re- gardless of how much or how little they may pay the hospital for their mainten- ance.
 Most of the patients who go to Hill crest are surgical cases. but cases of ordinary sicknesseS are taken as well and are attended by their family phy- sicians, or in the event they are from out of town they may have any phy- sician they wish.
 Patients are allowed all the liberties of their own homes and may have visitors at any hour.
 The hospital has been filled-most of the time to overfowing-since it was opened five months ago, The months of October and November are usually the least busy months in hospital work.
 Any patient contemplating an oper- ation or requiring hospital treatment who would be unable to pay any more than for their board will be operated upon by the chief surgeon or any one else they choose, free of charge and at the same time be likely to have more of choice of quarters than during the busy months of the year.
 Patients are taken from any part of the country. No application blanks or formalities are required.

 When two of the most popular store employees in our place ask to be let off at the same time, it sure looks as If something were doin', or likely to be. Education is, of course great thing but it would seem that to some there are other matters of equal importance, since at least one young man of our town seems very undecided as to whether to return to school or not. Why not learn trade and be blacksmith, a plumber or even, why not, painter.
 The very latest and best system of credit bookkeeping is now ill operation at the store of E. F. Gillette 6 Son, who have installed an account register and will use this one-writing system for keeping all credit accounts. What a cash-register is to a cash business, this account register is to a credit business. It has been in successful operation for many years among the leading mer- chants of the country, who are unani- nous in their eudorsemsnt of 1t. With this system there is no possibility of error, as all charges are made in duph- cate, one slip going to the customer and the other to the register, and customers never have chance to say "You have charged us with goods we never got. " If you don't believe it's great thing, just call at the store and hear Frank en- thuse about 1t.
 A special meeting of the directors of the sewer company was held Saturday night at MT. Bakers office. George Hertzel, the former treasurer of the company having transferred his stock, a special meeting was necessary to elect a new one. For the position, there were candidates plenty. but Swan Sedg- wick was unanimously elected. At this meeting it was also agreed that the rate for connecting with the sewer be ten dollars per year and to anyone who con- meets with it before the first of June 1909, six months rental from the time of connecting will be given free. This company earnestly desires the good will of the townspeople, and are trying hard to deserve and obtain it by using good business methods, and treating everyone fairly.

In Russia pits for cock fighting are
unknown, but ''goosepits" some so

that mighty kingdom The effect Of
this can be seen to-day in the geese
which are indigenous to the country,

particularly showing to a marked de-
