HOSPITAL IN HISTORY
INSTITUTIONS HAVE BEEN
KNOWN FROM EARLY TIMES.
Before the Christian Era the Care of
the Afflicted Was Considered
Public Duty - Philadelphia
Had First In America.


The first hospital established in
America was opened in Philadelphia
on February Z, 1850. For nearly two
years Benjamin Franklin and other
influential men we're working for the
establishment of such an institution
A charter was granted in May, 1751l
and the first board OF trustees was
elected the July following.
The day Of the opening number OF
patients were admitted who were reg
ularly attended and given their medi-
cine free. Joshua Crosby was the first
president and Benjamin Franklin the
drst clerk.
The second hospital established was
in New York in It'll From these ear
ly beginnings there has now grown up
in the United States veritable forest
of hospitals. Every city, town and
village has its duly appointed institu'
tions of this character, and the hos
pitfalls Of the United States are now
acknowledged the most handsomely
and thoroughly equipped in the world.
end serve as models for European ar
chitects.
Hospitals were founded in very ear
ly times. India, Persia and Arabia
had hospitals supported by their kings
and rulers before the Christian
era. AS far back as the earliest Pc
riod in Greek history the sick are

pie of Aesculapius at Epidaurus.
In the early Jewish period a house
for the reception Of the sick was
called Beth Holem. Such an institu-
ton was Beth Saida, mentioned in
the New Testament.
Military hospitals are of compare
lively recent origin, born of the needs
of warfare and the advance of medi-
cal science and hygiene. In the Cri-
mean war of 1854 the French alone of
the allied powers possessed anything
approaching the equipment now COM
mon to all armies.
The English wounded were carried
of the field in rough-and-ready fash
ion, sailors hammocks being ultimate
Iy utilized as a rude substitute for the
French stretcher and ambulance.
Surgeons attended the wounded on
the field, for whom there were little or
no after accommodations, until,
spurred by the publication OF Florence
Nightir yale's description of condi-
tions, the English government appoint.
ed Lord Merberts commission, which
resulted in more effective hospital
service.
The hospital ship was established in
the early sixties, and shortly after
ward the United States hospital corps
was organized. The army nurse corps
which is an auxiliary branch of the
medical department, was established
in accordance with an army bill passed
as recently as February 2. 1901.
Hospital Sunday is observed in the
United States on the last Sunday in
December, and in England the Sunday
nearest June 10, on which days the
collections in churches are devoted
to the support of hospitals. The Gus
tom has been generally adopted since
1873.

BURY THE PAST
Seward PosO

Somebody working for Uncle sam blundered a few months ago and it is up to Seward folks to repair the blunder cheerfuly and go about our business
 When a site surveyed for the radio station the head of the bay. the ground still public domain and it would have been possible for Uncle sam to reserve for his sufficient land for the station before granting patent To have done would have worked far less hardship on the homesteader than the fact that pn-headed officials delayed issu- of patent until the matter had to be taken be- fore the Secretary of the Interior himself for just ruling
 Now another branch of the government needs the site for radio station and puts it up to Seward to secure it.
 The natural feeling of the homesteader is to soak Uncle Sam good and plenty for the trouble and delay he put to in securing the ground. But the gov ernmen is impersonal and unfortunately it is impos- sble soak the individuals who caused the trouble. Any effort by individual to get even with the gov crnment merely works hGrdchip on the rest Of the people. In this instance it would work direct bur den upon the people of Seward, who in way responsible for the delay in securing the land
 The only thing to do in case of this kind is to let bygones be bygones and join in bringing to better things
 Let the owner and the people interested in bring ing the radio station here do the right thing the latter reimbursng the former fair amount and pre- sent Uncle Sam with site for radio station.

the seeing eye and gives evidence of his own powers Of observation by atrbutng to an uneducated man. It has often been remarked that the habit of reading fiction tends to dull the memory and that the of books of reference betrays us all into distrusng our own knowledge. Yet the business man, the pro- fessional man. has even more need than the woods man or the former to see all that passes around him register it automatically and retain 1t in memory. Facts which at first seem trivial often take on. in the quickly shifting course of lfe the utmost i'm portance It is well worth patient training to cultt vate the seeing eye.
 Recently a mother in an Alaskan town, whose invalid son. aged eight, had not been taught to read, was reproached for the fact by friend whose son had learned to read at four. Her defense was that her boy had learned the habit of seeing and question. ing every thing that came his way she clinched the argument by asking what the other lad had read in his four years Nothing but boys books. of course.

Many years ago. the story runs. when this glor ious republic was younger and political enthusiasm expressed itself in foolish exultation such as we se date and deep thinking people do not indulge, two men of opposite persuasons laid wager, the winner to dine chicken. the loser to have crow. And thus the bet paid to the gee O. those who wit messed the consumption of the scoding stable bird of thieyishly coyetous nature From that day to this the political loser has been the eater and thou sands suffer just much from the thought of as if they compelled actually to nibble the last shreds from the crow skeleton.

WAGES AND CAMPAIGN CRIES

The Steel Trust may not be aware of the fact but its action in raising the wages of 100000 employees has given the lie to the late amented Republican campaign
 That campaign. state in its simplest form, an effort to scare the people into voting for Hughes. From stump and platform from billboard and street car from advertising page and editorial column the Republican National Committee shrieked it's claim that the reelection of Wilson would bring disaster and that only the triumph of Hughes and the restoration ot ancient tariff schedules could save the country from a terrible panic.
 Part, singulary large part of the voters were misled by this clamor, but enough remained sane to return Mir Wilson to the White House-and promptly the Steel Trust greatest of the Hughessupporting in. terests shows how much it fears panic by adding $2OOOOOOO to it's yearly pay roll As if this not enough the Cotton Mill Trust of New England grants a similar increase to its SS.OOO operatives.
 It ought to be a cold, cold day before Republican calamity bowling deceiyes any one again
 Another chance for good bet would be. who is the hardest loser Chairman Wilcox or Candidate Hughes?
 Roosevelt hasn't congratulated Wilson yet but maybe he's waiting for the letter of thanks which the President owes him.
