To Help.

rug or any one of the thousand and one
things that will be needed for the fur
nishing Of the New Kenosha Hospital
1t you do, notify Mrs. James Cavanagh
the secretary of the Board of Directors
or M. G. Boerner, Assistant Cashier of
the First National Bank who is the
treasurer of the Association. With the
hospital rapidly nearing completion the
members of the Board of Directors of
the Association have taken up the i'm
portant matter Of raising the money
needed for the furnishing of the Insti-
tuition. It is estimated that it will take
in the neighborhood of $4,000 to pro-
vide the furnishings for the hospital
and it is expected that the rank and
file of the people of Kenosha will fur
nish this sum of money.
Wealthy people in the city have con-
tributed more than $50 600 toward the
institution up to the present time and
it is now expected that the large num-
Der of people who have made no con-
tribution will send in their mites to aid
in furnishing the hospital. 1t is the
plan of the board of directors to have
the furnishings uniform in every way
and to this end the people who desire,
to help may contribute the money
which can be expended for the fur
nishings as dictated by the donor
Twenty five cents will purchase towel
or a pillow slip and a dollar will buy
a sheet for one of the beds in the
hospital.
The Association desires these small
gifts. Several of the organizations in
the city have announced that they will
furnish complete rooms at the hospital
and this will require donations of from
1925 to 5000 according to the size of
the rooms. 1t is thought that some
organization in the city will offer to
equip one of the operating rooms. The
directors Of the Hospital Association
will within few days begin to place
the contracts for the furnishings and
they hope that before that time there
will be a steady stream of silver and
gold into the treasury for this purpose
Here is chance that the small giver
has to show his interest in the hospital.
Any gift will be acceptable to the
members of the board and gifts Of
twenty-five and fifty cents are especial
ly solicited. It is expected that the
new hospital building will be completed
the latter part of the year and the
Board of Directors hope to have all the
furnishings ready SO as not to delay
the opening of the new institution.
