Will Start Building Fund.
The building has been leased for
roF holf u-ifh q
privilege of renewal. However, 1t was de-
clared last night that 1t is the intention
Of those in charge Of the institution to
start building fund as soon as the in
stitution gets to running smoothly 1t is
the belief that before the first leasing
period Is up it will be determined wheth-
err the institution should and can have
building Of its own. While officers of the
institution last night were not inclined
to say too much about the building fund.
they were enthusiastic as to the hospitals
future.
The institution Is non-sectarian and re-
lies principally upon charity for its sup
port The idea of the institution was
conceived by several Washington physi-
there were many people in Washington
needing treatment such as this institution
will give and were unable to pay for 1t,
and yet refused to go to sectarian in
stitution.
Rooms for Memorials.
Individuals and organizations are to be
given the privilege Of having rooms fit

signs were hanging on the walls in the
rooms and in the halls last night, read
ing as follows: IF any individual. church,
club or organization wishes to furnish
a room in this institution a suitable tablet
will be placed in the room with the name
of the donor"

ent and it Is asserted that 1t can look
to no church for its maintenance, and
is, therefore, wholly dependent upon
all kinds are desired by the officials Of
the institutions. These may include
money linen, furniture, etc. They will
be gratefully accepted.
Special attention will be given those
patients without funds, and II Is declared
that that is the especial desire of the
founders. Not only will such patients be
given the full privileges of the clinic, but
II 1T is found necessary. they will be
kept at the institution and treated.
