ENLARGE ITS
HOSPITAL WORK
Extensions to Be Added to
Building in the Early
Spring

Plans for an addition to the Poly
clinic Hospital, front and Harris

on this addition, which will include
several private rooms, a new oper-
ating room, an anaethetizing room,
a steriliZing room, diet Kitchen, an
E-ray room and a number of changes
in the present building.
The hospital was chartered March
l, 1909, and for five and half years
maintained I, dispensary and beds IN
rented quarters. In September, 1914,
the board of directors purchased the
plot of ground occupied by the old
Porter mansion, and after extensive
changes, the no pital was opened,
October of the same year, with
twenty-siX beds for the reception OF
patients. Approximately $4,000 has
been expended in equipment for the
institution. Three private rooms and
a semiprivate room with two beds,
are in the present hospital. The man.
agement has been compelled to re-
fuse many requests for rooms, be-
cause the supply is inadequate. A star
of thirteen physicians, two graduate
nurses and nine pupil nurses Is main
tanned. A training school for nurses
is also conducted, and house ply
sician is constantly present An eN-
cellent X-ray and pathological lab
ratory is maintained.

demic last year. thirty-eight pa
tients were cared for at one time,
this being eight more than the full
capacity. Forty maternity cases were
treated in the year ending June l,

r. Bentley. vice-president; d. w.

for the Idaho Power company put
ting in the new lighting system at
Blackfoot, is brother to Mrs E. T.
Rose, who once lived across the river

BLACFFOOT BOY LIKES
LIFE AT AMERICAN LAKE

G.. w. Walburn, of the Empire
cigar store of this city is in receipt
of letter from e. o. Schwarz, one
of the Blackfoot boys who left with
the first contingent from Bingham
county for Camp Lewis, American
Lake, Washington. The letter re-
cites that the trip to American Lake
proved a most interesting one, that
the work incident to army camp life
has been taken up with zest, and all
the boys from Bingham county are
we'll and happy.
An interesting fact in connection
with Mr.. Schwarz's service under the
colors of Uncle Sam is that If he
ever "goes over the top" to meet the
bosche it may be to. meet his own
brothers, for he has two brothers
fighting for the kaiser. Before leav-
ing Blackfoot Mr.. Schwarz frequent
ly expressed his loyalty to the United
States, tho of German parentage,,
and as he expressed it, if his broth
ers were. willing to fight for Ger
many he would be glad of the chance
to fight for the country of his adop-
ton.
After describing his journey to
American Lake from Blackfoot, Mr..
Schwarz continues:
eve landed at the camp at 1915
a. M, Friday Rested till 7.3O,
when we received breakfast. Then
we got busy with our exercises and
drills the same morning. The work
is not very hard, as we have plenty
of time to rest up. Our food is
good. There is no complaint made
by the officers about us, or by us
about the officers. Everything is
going on nicely. We are now prac-
ticing the signals. From Saturday
noon until Sunday at p m. we are
off, but can't leave the camp without
a pass, Camp Lewis is about Is
miles from Tacoma. I am in the
Saith machine gun battalion, COM
pany B. The Y. M. G. A. is doing
everything they can to help us and
we are all happy"

PENDLEBURY'S DISCLAIMER

James Pendleburg, manager for
the Blackfoot Potato & Fruit Grow
ers association, wishes to announce
that statements made by any one to
the effect that any association he
is acting for had held money out
of their checks or dividends to pay
dues or assessments in the Non
Partison league or to pay for their
literature or official papers are not
true. The only money he handles
for such purposes is by the full con-
sent or deliberate payment of the
person concerned. He says that IL
men make such statements they mis-
represent the facts, and that his
books are open to inspection. He
says the Non-Partisan league is a
good thing for the farmers, that it
made them considerable money on
their potatoes last fall and will bring
them more benefits if they will stay
with it.
Mr.. Pendlebury stated that he and
other workers in the league had
been slandered both by farmers and
others, and that previous to the aft
ernoon league meeting held at the
Isis some time ago, reports were
circulated that the speaker was an
anarchist and had been driven out
of other states and an attempt was
made to prevent his speaking in
Blackfoot. He says If these sland-
erers will kindly confine themselves
to the truth he will be much obliged
to them.

SUGAR FACTORY STARTS TO-DAY

The big sugar factory above town
starts cutting beets today, and is one
of the important instruments in fur
nishing nourishment for the allies.
France is suffering most for sugar,
and every American is requested to
dip lighter into the sugar bowl for
the next two months to enable our
national food commission to load
more sugar into the ships sailing for
France. The U boats will sink as
much of it as they can, but France
will be able to get about SO pounds
out of every 100 we start across the
seas.
When you take hold of the sugar
spoon, repeat that good old line,
dip lightly for we love them still"
