breakfast would be served to $50 for
the city's needy. Long before the time
set for service the vestibules and

been inside the doors. They were
hungry and had come to be fed.

Modern Hospitals.


II 10 dimcult to conceive the change

Compassion for pain became speedily

although hospitals increased In num-
Der from the dark ages up to the mid

was often reason to question their &C

BRINGS $500 A FOOT.
Kansas City Corner Tripled in Value
in Five Years. ~

Kansas City, April 2.-Five years ago.
Jere s. Lillis, president of the Western
Exchange bank, bought the thirty
eight and one-half feet Of property at
the southeast corner Of Twelfth and
Walnut streets for $4,000 or $1.766
front foot. That was the highest price
ever paid for Twelfth street property.
But yesterday Mr.. Liliis sold the prop
erty to Louis and Michael Oppenstein,
jewellers at 1017 Main street, for more
than three times what he had paid for
1t.
The consideration was $211,750 for the
lot or $500 a front foot. This estab-
fishes a new price for Twelfth street
property. The property sold by Mr..
Lillis faces On Twelfth street with a
frontage Of thirty-eight and one-half
feet and a depth Of eighty feet on wal
nut street. The ground is now occu-
pied by small buildings.
IT believe that Is the highest price
yet paid for property in that part Of
the city," Louis Oppenstein said. 9th
err lots on Main street have been sold
for a higher price per front foot, but
those lots were deeper than this. The
buildings which now occupy the lot arr
to be torn down. just as soon as the
leases on them expire" Mr.. Open
stein continued. 1.-The expiration OF
those leases come just year from to-
day. Then my brother and will build
a modern office building of steel con-
struction on the corner"
"Of course, I know that Twelfth
street is not yet much of street for
office buildings" Mr.. Oppenstein said.
''but I believe the business of the city
is drifting in that direction and I am
sure that a good office building would
find much patronage there"
IT thought was paying high price
when l bought that property five years
ago" Mr.. Lillis said after the transac-
ton, ''but it seems that was cheap.

that soon the district included between
