AUGUSTA GEN'L HOSPITAL
ANNUAL REPORTS, 1914
Report of Board Of Directors

Following is the report of the direc-
tors of the Augusta General hospital
for the year ending. December 81. 1914,
as submitted at the annual meeting
of the corporation:
The hospital has maintained it's
high standard of usefulness during the
past year as heretofore.
The members of the STATS have CIV
en- unstintingly of their time and skill
whenever the occasion required not
only in the operating room and wards
but also in the class room of the
Training School where through the
year they have given lectures to the
nurses.
Our superintendent, Mrs. Sarah
Hayden, and her assistant, Miss Una
V. Clark, have proved themselves
equal to all occasions and have con-
Quoted the affairs of the hospital -
a most creditable manner.
At the beginning Of the year we hac
10 patients in the hospital and have
admitted Gil. making total Of $50
receiving treatment during the year.
OF these 1872 were medical cases, $50
surgical and IFS, eye, ear, nose ana
throat.
When we stop to consider that dur
ing the first year 1S9S) that the hos
pital was in operation We expended
only s1,970.46, and this year 191D,
S26,6S7.3o, we can realize in a measure
its usefulness to the community We
have a net debt of s5,429.6S, and it
must be our earnest endeavor to re-
duce this.
Such repairs as have been impera-
tive, have been made. and others will
have to be, the coming year.
The needs Of a new wing make
themselves manifest and we trust
some means may be devised by which
We can obtain the much needed addi-
ton to the hospital and thereby In
crease its efficiency. We have made
beginning through. contributions and
now have fund of $1,22672, and the
Hospital Aid Society have in their
hands $1,792.24, towards the building
Of such wing. With this as a nu-
cleus we must strive to increase 1t
substantially the coming year and
may 1t act as an incentive to some
of our generous citizens to supply rs
with the funds necessary in order that
we may the sooner increase our IA
cilities for ministering to the needs
OF a greater number of people.
The Hospital Aid Society have
worked hard and persistently in their
efforts to obtain funds, and with their
Jardin de Dance. Fete Champetre,
Hospital Day, and annual dues, have
been unusually successful. They
have maintained a free bed for the
entire year and in many ways assist

While the advance in price Of GER
tain foodstuffs and various other ar
ttcles of daily use is said to have re-
suited "oh account Of the war; an In
stance has been found where the war
has acted in the opposite direction,
the instance being that it has knocked
the bottom out of the price of such
furs as are sent to the European mar
kets from America, as under present
conditions these furs are not shipped
across the water. While there are in
cluded in the list all the valuable furs
found in North America two Of the
most common in this section are those
of the skunk, also the muskrat, both
of which have dropped in price until
1t is scarcely worth while to hunt
either Of the animals. It was only a
year ago that skunk skins were SELL
ing at $2.75, but now the best of them
are only bringing 65 cents, and the
skin of the winter muskrat which last
year brought so cents. is now worth
but half that amount.

its size and weight, 1t being over a foot
in length and weighing nearly a pound
and half. The puzzle consists of eight
iron rings riveted to piece of steel and
each ring overlaps the ring in front of
it. a long wire loop is passed through
the rings in such manner that to one
who is unacquainted with the secret pro-
cess it is impossible to remove it. The
method by which the ring is taken off
is a long one and requires great pa

the idea is over so years old
This particular puzzle is owned by John
