Pressing Need For Another Hospital.
There are several reasons back OF
the new hospital. The main reason II
that 1t flls a pressing need. Marshall
town has become a very important
surgical center. The excellent insti-
tuition owned and conducted by the
Sisters of Mercy has been over-run
and crowded for some time. It has
been necessary for minor operations to
be made at times in emergency oper-
ating rooms and in order to render the
best service possible to the greatest,
number 1t has been found necessary to
request patients who might, to their
W advantage, have remained longer
to vacate their rooms in order hat the
dire need Of those waiting might be
given merciful attention. And there
are good and sufficient reasons for this
condition. st. Thomas has made a
good name for itself as a refuge for
the sick and helpless. Another and
very prominent reason lies In the fact
that no city OF the ere Of MARSHALL
town anywhere has so competent q
| corps of surgeons and general prac-
| %titioners of medicine. 1t is true that
the equipment of Ma>shalltown med
| icaI men and surgeons rivals that Of
the larger medical and surgical cen
tiers, that none of the adjuncts modern
skill and knowledge nave found nee
essary to sure diagnosis are neglected
or missing in M~arshalltown consult
ing rooms and laboratories and
that operations Of every char
| acter are made as successfully here as
in the more noted centers Of surgical
accomplishment. In consequence Mar
shalltown has very quietly but not less
positively become a prominent place
Of modern healing and the influx OF
those in need of help has made, addf-
tional hospital facilities a present and
pressing necessity.
Catholics May Yet Enlarge.
Indeed 1t has been the intention OF
the Sisters of Mercy corporation to
erect a large addition to st. Thomas
at a very considerable cost using the
present building as a wing n the
contemplated addition as the main
building. 1t is entirely within the
possibilities that this plan will be car
ried out by the Sisters Of Mercy in the
near future 1t is also more than
possible that the growing need will re-
quire the additional accommodations
necessary for the rapidly increasing
hospital business of Marshalltown.

Fire Chief Miller Issues
Warming to Citizens and
Merchants.

"Tinsel decorations and candles are
dangerous when used on Christmas
trees, and may cause disastrous
fires" said Fire Chief Miller today.
Richmond merchants and citizens
have been unusually careful in the
past about using combustibIe decOra-
tons during the holiday season, &C
cording TO Chief Miller, but should be
warned at this time OF year
Cedar trees when they have been
placed in d dry room for a few hours
ignite easily and instantly become a
mass of flames. Candles placed on
them burn down, starting a blaze
which may mean the loss Of a home or
lives. Chief Miller asks that citizens
cooperate with the department in
preventing holiday fires, rather than
In leaving them to the department to
fight
Where business houses and church
es are decorated, he said. particulr
care should be exercised. During shop
ping hours the stores are crowded, and
in the evenings many persons are
gathered at church entertainments If
inflammabIe material is used as deco
rations little carelcssness may cause
a blaze which will throw the entire
crowd into panic.
