while negotiations are pending
with regard 20 the erection Of
larger sanitarium the board Of d.
reetors OF the present sanitarium
must make arrangements 10 take
care Of an increased patronage OF the
present institution. The 1irst step
in that direction was taken today
when q house adjoining was rented
b. the directors 10 make room for
the nurses. This house has already
been designated as Nurses Home.
but IL doesn't look very much like
home yet because there are no
furnishings for the house. II is q
ave room house and II furnished
nicely would make very comforta-
Bile home for the young ladies Who
give their time 10 the care of the
sick. The next question then IL.
How shall 1t be furnished" By
this it is not meant to ask what
kind OF furnishings but how shall
these things be procured The san
itarium, as our readers know. Is
maintained by the people and ac-
commodatlons are given the sick at
bare cost.
Secretary Pat Sims believes that
the citizens of Waxaha~hie have the
sanitarium on their hearts and that
an appeal TO them for furnishings
will be met with hearty response.
He makes that appeal. Furnishings
for three bed chambers are needed
az once. lie also wants something
to 70 in the hallway and some sort
of rustic furnishings for the porch
es. He does not propose to go out
On begging tour to provide this
furniture but he believes that II the
people are advised ample furnish
ings will be donated He says there
will be need for rugs. art squares,
window shades and bed room fix
Ings and that he has faith enough
IN the people OF Waxahachie TO be-
lieve these will be donated
This is an opportunity for the peo-
pie OF the city to rally to the aid OF
the sanitarium. an institution that
has done as much good in Waxaha-
chic as any other agency. Mr.. Sims
does not propose to go about telling
OF the good the sanitarium has
done in order to get these donations.
What this institution has been doing
for the last twenty months is al
ready well known to the citizenship.
II Is known that patient after pa
tent, who would otherwise have
been charity patients, have been
cared for at the sanitarium free OF
cost. that others who we're not able
to stand the expense have had theirs
cut way below cost and that the
board of directors have given much
Of their time to the institution. Now
then that there Is need for volun-
tary contributions the people should
respond without complaint.
IL anyone reading this statement
of the conditions and desires feels
inclined 10 contribute any piece of
furniture he or she will confer ia
for by telephoning to Mr.. Sims.
Some society or Sunday school class
could not do better work than 1T
up one of the rooms at the nurses
home. The sanitarium il maintain
ed in the interest of humanity and
the officers and directors look after
its management without charge Let
the good people OF Waxahachie
rally to their aid at this time and
provide furnishings for the new
building without cost 10 the associa-
