Hospital Is Crowded.

In spite of the fact that a large ad-
dition was made to st. Margaret's hos
pital, It is now full and there is not a
vacant room in the place. The needs
of the city were not over-rated when
the hospital was built, according to
the sister superior, and it is expect
ed that 1T will not be long before 1T
will be necessary to build another
large addition to the already enormous
building.
