MILFORD EMERGENCY HOSPITAL

! 1t should be clearly understood that
/ the Hospital is not, in any sense, a
I private institution. 1t is open at all
times to the patient of any physician.
It is free to thenr~with the exception
| of such expenses as food and washing.
Much has been done, much more
may be done, to alleviate and cure the
ills -of humanity in the temporary
building now occupied by the hospital
But to fully realize the possibilities of
the hospital idea, new building,
thoroughly equipped and specially
adapted to the purpose, is needed. To
you who have given; to you who may
give; to you who attend the bazaar
and contribute to its success. the
thanks of the community are due.
May you realize in full measure the
satisfaction of knowing that you have
helped the sick, alleviated suffering,
and in many cases contributed to a
complete recovery.
The Emergency Hospital had its
inception in an idea of Mrs. George w.
Marshall that such an institution was
needed in Milford. Beginning in a
small way, with slender equipment
and located in a room of the Central
Hotel, the Hospital has gradually
grown until it now occupies an entire
building on North Front Street, loaned
for the purpose by DR.. William Mar
shall; is partially supplied with mod
ern equipment; possesses eight beds
for patients; a comfortably furnished
room for nurses, and a completely
equipped kitchen.
That the hospital has enjoyed such
a steady growth is due entirely to the
generosity and aid of public-spirited
citizens, who have realized the value
of such an institution to the commun-
ity. Some have given money; others
have donated articles of equipment;
many have given freely of their time;
and to all of them, too numerous to
mention individually, should come
realization OF the aid they have given
to the sick and suffering.

WORKHOUSE PRISONERS
TO BE MODEL FARMERS

Trustees of the New Castle County
Workhouse have purchased three
farms, of more than three hundred
acres, near the institution. which will
be cultivated by the prisoners and de-
velOped into model farms.
The trustees of the work house will
cooperate with Delaware College in
developing the farms, and the prison
ers will be given instruction in truck
ing and farming that will fit them for
work on farms throughout the State.
By this method the work house
trustees not only hope to promote the
health of prisoners, but also to supply
most of the food used in the institu-
ton, and thus further assist in making
the prison self-supporting. The farms
were purchased under authority of an
act of the last legislature.
Prisoners at the work house also
are employed in making clothing, in
the quarries, and at times have been
used in building or repairing public
roads. The trustees of the workhouse
several times have offered to use pris-
oners in building roads, at a fixed
sum per day, but the Levy Court has
not looked with favor upon such
proposition, although it is favored by
many taxpayers.

The HOSPITAL BAZAAR
A SUCCESSFUL AFFAIR

Armory Hall on Wednesday and on
Thursday Of this week was the scene
of one of the largest and finest bazaars
ever held in Milford. The affair was
under the management of the lady
managers of the Milford Emergency
Hospital and their plans had been we'll
laid. The Armory was artistically de-
corated for the occasion with pines,
cedars and other evergreens, while
the many booths were also nicely de-
corated. The fancy work booth was
drawing card which attracted a
number of ladies who were interest,"
ed in securing fancy articles for
Christmas use. The BLACK Cat"
game attracted the men, and many
OF them boasted of sore arms the
next day after throwing at the cats.
The two different suppers provided
on the menu were both excellent, and
the tables were well filled from early
IN the evening until late at night. The
candy booth took we'll, and the Wheel
OF Fortune booth was crowded at all
times. Here flour, chickens and 9TH
er articles were chanced off. Ths
overland automobile drawing was
held last evening after the Chronicle
went to press and for that reason we
are unable to give the name of the
successful person. The second prize,
Victrola and third prize, a ward.
robe trunk, also were drawn for.

George w. Marshall, was received by
his widow, Mrs. Mary L. Marshall,
this week from Miss COrdelia Jackson,

that she secured the paper from a

per follows:
