TO SUPPRESS OPIUM EVIL.

Picking, Dec. 26.-In view of the unsatis-
factory position of the opium question
the Chinese government has issued a
manifesto reiterating its desire to sup
press the evil and save the people from a
life of degradation. The manifesto eX-
presses the fear that although the gov

Referring to the agreement with Great
Britain, it points out that the cessation
of the importation of Indian opium de-
Ponds on entire prohibition of the culti-

thus may a conflict over the Anglo-Chf-

INCREASES HOSPITALS COST.
High Cost Of Livirn Effects Expenses
Of the Hospitals.

New York, Dec. 26,-The cost of or-
Grating New York hospitals, as far as
supplies and expenses of nursing and
domestic service are concerned, mas
almost. doubled in the last eight years
says a statement given out, Wednes-
day afternoon. by Frederick d. Green,
general secretary of the Hospital Sat
urday and Sunday Association. The as
sociation has AZ institutions in its
membership. The statement follows;
The salaries paid to graduate
nurses in such hospitals as Roosevelt
and the Presbyterian are approximate
ly twice what they were eight years
age. The increase in the pay of all hos
pital employees is nearly on the same
scale Food required by patients now
costs great deal more than even a
year or two ago.
Surgical instruments are more eXpen-
sive; so are most drugs, and particularly
the serums which have come into use in
recent years. Labor atory treatment Is
applied much more iyenerally than for
merly. Patients are nut through the APP
propriate laboratory tests, such as the
hood count they receive special baths
in the new hydrother apic treatment; an
N-Fdy apparatus cOStFS q itooPisot YoVSV'
All these features. almost unknown a
few years ago, mean a vast added eN-
pense.
Connected with these is the added at
tention given to each patient. Whereas
the hospital used to have one attendant
to each patient. present practice in soma
hospitals is to provide three attendants
for every two patients.
''There is, of course, a gain in efficiency
due to the improved. if costly, methods
The average patient in general hospitals
now needs care for only sl6 days. a few
years ago the period was considerably
longer"
