And they gave several months care to
Bagley, which with the excellent nursing
he received made it possible for him to
leave the institution with almost as good
leg as before he had climbed that per-
simmon tree. And if you were to see him
now you could hardly tell that he had ever
fallen out Of the tree.
Your Persimmon Tree
Well. that's enough for Bagley. He's
all right now, thanks to the skilled treat
ment received from the physicians and
nurses of the hospital. The point is, what
will you do when you fall out of your
persimmon tree? That is to say, when
you are stricken with meningitis, erysipe-
las, pneumonia, some other disease,
where will you go to get help and get the
advantage of the very latest discoveries of
medical science? When it's your life that
is in danger, nothing is too good to save
it, is it? If it was a matter of hours, and
your life was hanging in the balance, you
would not want to think of the half day
il would take to get to Jacksonville or
Tampa, would you? You might be dead
before you reached there. And there ism t
much fun is being dead.
l wonder if you appreciate half as much
as you ought TO the tremendous benefit
accruing to this community and section
of the country because of the existence of
the Marion County Hospital. Most people
when they think of hospital at all. think
of it as place where more people die than
get we'll, and that is a good place to keep
out Of The last part is granted, but about
the first part, just wait a minute. Let's
talk it over.

OF Economic Value

Every community which possesses
hospital has an institution of great eco
nomic value to that community. How,
you ask? Well, in the first place a part
of its inestimable service to the commun-
ity is to safeguard the homes in that COM
munity not merely from loss of life and
the spread of disease, but also from ex-

cessive financial strain in the proper care
of the sick.
Let me illustrate: Suppose typhoid
fever should come into your home-and
that isn't such far-fetched supposition,
at that Now, a fair estimate is that a
case of typhoid fever of ordinary severity
would cost the working man not one cent
less than 5000. And in addition to this
there is the constant danger, due (if the
case is in the home) to inefficient nursing
and the lack of the exercise of the neces-
sary precautions, of the disease spreading
to one or more of the other members of the
family. And if you, Mr.. Family-Man,
catch it yourself because of the lack of
precautions, you may add to your expense
account, in addition to the expense of your
own treatment, the loss of your wages.
That will set you back, considerably, will
is not? Well, rather.
On the other hand, suppose your typhoid
case is taken to the hospital. In the Mar
ion County Hospital your expense would
be only about half what it would be in the
home. And the rest of the family is safe
guarded from contagion. And you will
not come down with it yourself. And this
is only an illustration of every other COM
municabIe and preventable disease.
Other Advantages
And in addition to its economical ben
efits. it brings within the reach of a COM
munity all of the advantages Of the latest
discoveries of medical science in the treat
ment of disease. The means of probing
the mysteries of disease have been wonder
fully expanded in recent years by the pro-
gress made in chemistry, bacteriology and
pathology. The use of the microscope,
Roentgen rays, cystoscope, proctoscope and
other instruments of precision are of tre-
mendous value in properly diagnosing a
disease, and thus applying proper treat
ment. All these are part of the equipment
of modern hospital, and accessible to the
patient.
Thus the Marion County Hospital stands
there doing its best to make health con-

ROAD MAKES DENIAL

The New Haven road has issued denial of the statement in the inter state commerce report that of the 1,- 733 locomotives on the road 1,046 were found defective. The statement is as follows:
 t.The inspection of the interstate commerce commission of locomotives and equipment covers a period of a. year and inspectors are at work con- stantly, and repairs are made from time to time of defects found.

MOTHER WITH TOT STARVING FOR THE
 PAST THREE DAYS

New York. Dec. PA story of star vation and exposure while the city was engaged in Christmas celebration came to light, when a woman leading her four-year-old son staggered into the East 126th street police station and fainted from exhaustion. When re- vived she said her name was Susan BroccilIo and that she and her boy had roamed the streets penniless and starving for the past three days.
 She had been driven from her for mer lodging through failure to pay the rent, and being ignorant of the language and city customs had wan dered aim1ess1y around ever since, scraps of food. The only real food she had eaten in three days, she said, was a meal given her in the News boys Home, to which she had been led by an Italian newsboy who had noticed her plight.

OVER S6,OOO UNExPEADED
 FOR FLEET CELEBRATION

New York, Dec 27-Wir1iam A.

 When the city's treasury has once been pried into for an expenditure it is seldom that leftover balance finds its way back to the controller that no one can wonder at Mr. Pren- dergaSt's opening phrase:

at cost of about $1,000, 1000,
which of course will add that much
to the value Of Mrs. Green's land,
This lease has been taken as a hor-
rible example Of the present system
Of taxation, it being urged that the
the social growth of the city has
given the present value to the real
estate but that the increment has
gone to the land owners and not to
the public. Private ownership or
possession Of land is conceded to be
essential" " a bulletin of the Ameri-
can Economic League declares, "but
when we permit such ownership as
that of Mrs. Green to include not
only results from individual effort
but also the result of a community's
enterprise, does it not appear that
we go far toward condoning vio-
lation Of the eigth commandment"
According to this view the cost of
living has been advanced about 80
per cent by the policy Of exacting
revenue from industry instead of
land values The census of 1900
showed that 250,251 persons are
possessed of S67,000,0 100000 of the

that the late John Jacob Astor, a
British subject, received a revenue Of
$40, 100000 over here for allowing
American citizens TO transact busi-
ness on Manhattan Island.
