Help for Hospital.
Despite the great number of beau
tiful floral tributes, there were many
who complied with the suggestion Of
Rabbi Jasin and the ladies of the
Temple society that instead Of sending
flowers the money it was contemplate
ed to thus expead be sent to Mrs. F..
Baer to be used for the Leo. N. Levi
Memorial hospital at Hot Springs, an
institution Mr.. We'll aided in estab-
fishing. Mrs. Baer reported last
night she had received quite a tidy
sum, and had reason to believe the
amount would be increased by further
donations.
