LOCAL HOSPITAL
IN GOOD HANDS
Financial Report Shows Institution to
Be Almost Self Sustaining, and
in Excellent Condition.
COMPETENT NURSE IN CHARGE
Messrs. B. Brodersen and John
Rohwer Giving Freely Of Time in
Looking After Details.

Readers of this paper will notice in
this issue statement of the financial
condition of the Denison hospital,
which was prepared by the President,
b. Brodersen, and the secretary and
treasurer, John Rohwer. 1t will be
seen that the hospital is in very good
financial condition and with number
OF donations it has been placed on al
most a paying basis. The president
and secretary of the hospital board
are to be congratulated on the good
work they are doing and both of these
gentlemen are giving it their personal
attention.
1t was the pleasure of the writer to
visit the hospital yesterday afternoon
In company with Mr.. John Rohwer.
who explained the manner in which it
Is being conducted in every detail.
The hospital is now under the direct
supervision of Miss Ida Buck, a grad
uate nurse of the Fabiola hospital at
Oakland, Cali. Miss Buck has had
charge of the hospital since Novem-
Der and from all indications she thor
oughly understands the operation of
such an institution even to the minor
details
There is ample room in the Denison
hospital to accommodate in the neigh
borhood of twenty patients and with
as much care as is shown patients
in the larger hospitals of any city.
There are ten private rooms in the
building and these, we were told, are
rented to patients for $40 week,
which includes care from the hospital
nurse and board. There are two wards
with accommodations for four patients
in each ward and patients may be
cared for here for the nominal charge
of $3.50 per week, which also in
eludes care from the hospital nurse
and board.
An operating room on the first floor
is equipped with all the modern con-
veniences and devices necessary at
such an institution. There is steril-
izing machine of the latest pattern
which sterilizes the instruments and
bandages necessary for an operation.
We are told that this operating room
is one of the best equipped in this part
of the state for the performing of op-

TO LIN
colin HIGHWAY
President of the Stewart Lumber Co.
at Denison Strong Believer
in Good Roads.
GIvER is WELL KNOWN HERE
In An Early Day Mr.. Stewart Travelled
Through Iowa Selling Lumber
to Retail Dealers.

Mr.. John Stewart, president of the
Stewart Lumber company at Denison,
Dow City and Charter Oak, has re-
Gently donated $4,000 to me Lincoln
highway, and stands ready to give
more if necessary. Mr.. Stewart is
now in Europe touring for his health.
He is So years of age, and when at
home in Elburn, ILL.,, personally super
intends the work on 100 acre
farm.
Mr.. Stewart has no strings attached
In making the donation of $4,000,
he is such a firm believer in good
roads, and firmly believes the Lincoln
highway is but neucleus for similar
roads all over the United States. All
his life Mr.. Stewart has had to con-
tend with bad and Indifferent roads.
In the pineries of the north, south and
west he has helped hew highways
through timber land, over mountains
and in valleys. We doubt if there are
many men not practical engineers,
who have had more to do in making
roads than Mr.. Stewart.
In the earlier days of DenisOn Mr..
Stewart frequently stopped here, on
his lumber selling trips; he sold lum-
Der to such dealers as G. P. Stocking,
NJ Stone and others. He has been in
terested in Denison more or less ever
since, and it is but natural that he
thus makes such generous donation
for permanent highway through a
country so we'll and favorably known
to him.
With such men as John Stewart
boosting for the Lincoln highway, the
road is bound to be built, and in 1915
Denison and cities all along the line
will be called upon to house thous-
ands of tourists every month.

erations of the most serious nature.
A drug room is located near the oper-
ating room, where drugs necessary in
such an institution are constantly on
hand and ready for any emergency.
Dining room, kitchen. laundry room
and furnace room are all located in
the basement. The laundry machinery
is all run by electric motor.
Under the present management and
with the help of B. Brodersen and
John Rohwer we see no reason why
the Denison hospital should not be a
paying proposition 1t has been our
opinion that the hospital has not been
known well enough to the people of
Denison and Crawford county to make
it self sustaining. With the excellent
facilities at our local hospital and the
good local doctors we see no reason
why people should go to the extra ex-
pense of patronizing hospitals in the
larger cities.

The Colomhian Steal

Taking advantage of the fact that
the campaign is over and out OF the
way, the Huntington Herald Dispatch
makes the point that when the news
papers of this country protested
against the proposal to give Colombia
$25, 900, 900 of the peoples money, they
were not prating for campaign pur-
poses only. Says that newspaper:
"Their objections spoke a dignified
ard emphatic protest against an out
rage which would sully forever the
name of the Wilson administration
and the Senate by which IT was con-
firmed. This is, unquestionably, the
most extraordinary proposal this
country has ever entertained. 1t is
to, be hoped that when the Senate re-
assemblies next month the state de-
partment will not press it for ratifica-
ton. Or, at the worst, that the SEN
ate will exercise the independence and
patriotism necessary for its prompt
and unequivocal rejection.

Down With Dog Poisoneers.

Dislike for dogs does not justify
poisoning them. Some people fear
horses, hut that is no reason horses
should be killed by them.
The dog poisoner is violator OF
law. He shows the disposition Of an
assassin. There is lack of English to
set forth the full quality and guam
tityi Of his Smeanness.
Too often citizens let dog poison
ers escape detection and arrest and
conviction and punishment. Their
work Is generally passed over with
signs Of regret on the part Of the own
ers Of the victims and no serious
effort is made to apprehend the n.
1T Is gratifying to note that there
is tendency now toward earnest
effort to rid the community Of the
dog killer, and especially pleasing is
1t to note that at, least one citizen
has offered a substantial reward for
Information leading to the arrest and
conviction Of the person who poisoned
his dog. It is hoped that this re-
ward will lead to a general exter-
mination OF the vicious practice Of
destroying the property of others, even
such property as dogs, which IN many
instances are highly priced.
Let the offering OF that reward be
the beginning Of the warmest cam
,paign dog prisoners ever went up
against and no good and law abid-
ing citizen should hesitate to lend
his cooperation in bringing dog
prisoners to Justice. NJ

We who are Of the west western,
we who are Of the church Christian,
we have been taught to believe that
cleanliness is next to godliness. We
have been taught Alright. But It is q
shock for us when we visit the cradle
Of our faith to find that holiness and
dirt go hand in hand. So It. is OF all
Holy cities-of Jerusalem Of the Jew
and the Christian: Of Mecca OF the
Moslem; OF Benares of the Brahmin.
They are dirty beyond belief and II
theirs is the odor of.sanctity, no .trav-
eler from the United States would
ever wish toFbe saint. i,ss
Yet, for all its dirt and squalor,
Jerusalem remains the most interest
ing city on earth. Every traveller
finds It so, for who can fail to be
thrilled when he walks In the court
|of the temple Of Solomon; when he
|trudges over the Via Dolorosa behind
the Christ bearing His Cross; when
he stands under the arch where PHI
ate judged Jesus; when he sits In
Gethesmane and stands bare headed
on Golgotha? Or who can fail to be
thrilled when he approaches the doors
of that church which was builded by
Constantine, and fought for by God
frey and Richard and Baldwin and
st. Louis.
But, oh, the misery Of the starving
Jews who have come here to die in
the city Of David. Oh, the pity Of the
miserable Russian moujiks who have
come here in rags and hunger to have
their sins forgiven them on Cavalry!
oh. the horror OF the leprous beggars
and the deep, dark shame Of the
sleek, spiritual wolves who fatten on
the starving lambs Of simple faith
and deep religion! a
Jerusalem in times of peace is pro-
vocadve eof thought-but what deep
thoughts for a Christian when the
Turkish soldiers must keep the peace
between rival worshippers OF the
Lamb at His very Tomb! And now
the pilgrims upon whom the people
live are cut off by the war, there is
mo industry. there is little food. Star
Walton stalks over the hills Of Judea
and Zion again is desolate. rs.

For Love and Loved Ones

Some OF us may eat chicken on
Thanksgiving Day instead Of turkey,
says the Pictorial Review fof Decem-
Der. but we will give thanks Just the
same, for in war-Ibound Europe those
who once were served by chefs and
powdered men-servants are passing
in line to receive the crumbs which
fall from the government table
known as the commissary.
Some Of who have grown purse
proud and perhaps little vain Of
family appearances feel the annoy
ance of economizing, but our. wives
feel differently. The protection, and
love of husbands, sons, brothers, mean
more when this blessing is denied
five million women in Europe. There
has never been an hour in the past
fifty years when the sentiment be-
tween husband and wife, between low
ers and sweethearts should burn SO
clearly, so fondly and with such a
spirit Of thanksgiving as it does to-
day. l
For love and those we love around
us, Good Lord, let US be deeply thank
full!

child Ilahnr AN heI aholia


America by the present generation
according to Owen R. Lovejoy. gener-
al secretary Of the National Child La
Dor Committee, whose tenth annual
report has just been published in the
Child Labor Bulletin for November.
AS evidence of the progress of the
campaign against child labor, Mr..
Lovejoy compares the state childsla-
Dor laws in 1904. when the National
Child Labor Committee was organ
lied, with those Of 1914 In. 1904,
thirteen states had a straight 14-year
age limit 70 all factory work, while
in 1914, thirty-six states have that
limit. In 1904 only one state had
an eight-hour day for older children
and in 1914, eighteen states have it.
Night work was prohibited for chill
'dren under 16 in five states in 1904
and in thirty-four. In 1914. Factory
inspection was provided for in thir-
teen states in 1904 and In thfrty-four
in 1914. Other achievements of the
committee have been the establish
ment Of the Federal Children's Blu
reau. and the drafting Of federal
child labor law, which, as the Palmer
owen bill, has already been favorably
reported by the House committee on
labor. The membership OF the COM
mittee has increased from thirty-six
in 1904 to 1888 in 1914.
Mr.. Lovejoy reports that In seven
of the fourteen states whose legiss
latures met last year child labor laws
were improved. Investigations were
carried on by the committee in eight
industries in thirteen states, in the
past year and the exhibits of the COM
mittee were shown in fifty cities in
twenty states. The COMMITTEES issued
4,166.184 pages Of printed matter in
the quarterly bulletin, pamphlets
and leaflets. besides widely published
press stories and special articles.
The cost Of securing new members
for the committee is increasing, ac-
icording- to Mr.. Lovjoy, and he states
that because the committee is sun
ported by voluntary contributions.
fuctuating industrial and financial
conditions place its work in serious
jeopardy. In general, however, his
report is optimistic Of the continued
support Of the National Child Labor
Committee by the thoughtful Ameri-
can people.
