MELISSA FREES HER MIND ABOUT
THE DEAR DEPARTED.

Mrs. Merriwid's maternal maiden
aunt Jane found her bereaved niece
still In her morning negligee. although
1t vas nearly ten o'clock. 1t was a
handsome, cobwebby negligee, with a
big cherry-colored bow at the throat
to relieve its more II less funereal
black, and Mrs. Merriwid looked well
in It, having a fair skin and a figure
that was plump, but MOI too plump.
There was a tray on a tabouret by
Mrs. Merriwid's chair, and on the
tray were the mangled remains of two
lamb chops and some crusts Of toast,
which, with an empty chocolate pot
and milk pitcher, seemed to indicate
that grief for the departed Mr.. Mer-
riwid had not destroyed The appetite
Of his s%orrowing relict. #

Jane, fervidly.
Mrs. Merriw1d removed her very neat

of a supplementary chair and arose

said, e%xtricating herself gently, Tn

where it hurts. Here, I'll help YOU"
With a few competent jerks, the

her hat and wraps, which she tossed
onto a davenport. Nov for the eats"
she said, pressing the buzzer beneath

agined that he was stabbing me in all

about tho way I managed the house
and spent his ~hard-earned money; but
he meant to be kind. All he wanted
to do was to show me what a silly,

1t gives US pleasure to cooperate
with the Rev. L. G. Cooper, pas.
tor of the First Baptist Church in
the agitation for a Hospital for
Fitzgerald. The primary motive
that inspired the thought is the
lack of facilities in the average
home of the poorer people, white
and colored, to give the necessary
attention to the unfortunate sick
at their homes. The physicians,
who are always willing and ready
to minister to the INDECENT poor
are always at a disadvantage for
lack of proper nursing and ina
bility to follow needed instructions.
The Doctors of the city have vol.
unteered their services and Mr..
Cooper stated they have subscrib-
ed total of $4,000 per year for
the undertaking, a liberal contri-
button to start with. Rev. Cooper
will begin soliciting for subscrip-
tions from the general public
Tuesday. Everybody can afford
to help this worthy cause. If he
fails to call on you send your con-
tribution to Rev. L. g. Cooper
Fitzgerald, Ga, and he will &C.
knowledge receipt through the
Papers. To acquaint you with the
plans and intention of the Hospital
Brother Cooper handed US the fol-
lowing questions and answers for
publication:
Q. What is a Mercy Hospital
A. A hospital for Fitzgerald
and Ben Hill County, subscriptions
for which are now beng taken.
2 Q. How many buildings
A. Two. One for white and
one for colored people.
3 Q. Will the hospital be self
sustaining,
A. Not for the present.
A Q. Why not?
A. Because the service from
pay patients will not be sufficient to
carry on the amount of free work
we expect to do.
5 Q. What are the charges for
private rooms?
A. $4,000 per week, this in
cludes board and general nursing.
s q. Does this charge include
special private nursing, and atten-
ton from physicians or surgeons?
A. 1t does not.
I Q. What is a ward3
A. A large room containing
from four to eight beds.
s Q. What are the charges for
ward service?
A. $1,000 per week. This in
cludes board, general nursing, and
attention of house physician.
8 Q. What are the charges for
operating room services!
A. $1,000.
10 Q. Why such charges9
A. To cover expenses of steri-
lization, anaesthetics and special
attention.
IL Q, VIII the hospital employ
and furnish physicians and sur.
geons for the patients
A 1t will not. Any reputable
physician or surgeon will be allow.

Domestic Science places health
as the first and most important
element to be considered. Com
fort and prosperity come to the
household only where good health
is enjoyed, altho the wise use of
money in the home is an impor-
tant element n securing both
comfort and prosperity. For
this reason we must base the
management of the house upon
a strict observance of hygenic
laws, letting this be guiding
principal in all we do, a the
same time keeping in mind the
wise use and economic expendi-
ture of money and the prudent
employment 0 f the articles of
food, apparel ane furnishings
which r e purchased for the
household. Food is O f course
an essential to be considered,
what we proved for the inner
man, but we must be Giscriminat
ing in selecting the most suita-
BILE varieties and in preparing
and using them so they will be
wholesome and digestible. This
is very necessary in promoting
the health and happiness a n d
contentment of the home. Every
article purchased must be USE
full for some purpose and its ap-
plication must be judicious. In
this sense domestic economy en-
ables US both to save money and
to spend it wisely. However the
income Of the head of the fami-
ly and the general environments
of the household must be con-
sidered in determining what the
expenditures should be, keeping
always in mind that waste and
extravaganza are unwise and
injudicious under all circumstan-
ceS.
