day when it was learned they were
preparing an amendment to the or

that organizers must not leave their

can be examined, observed and elias

wards.
! A new building on the male side for
the criminals, and one on the female
side for the tubercular women, would
obviate this embarrassment, benefit
the patients and materially lessen Our
