Emergency Hospital at Garfield
School Has Served Purpose
Cases are Being Discharged and Place
Will Probably be Closed
This Week.
Number SO

The Emergency Hospital which
was established in the Gar
field school building about seven
weeks ago to care for cases of
influenza where the persons
could not otherwise get
the proper care at home, will
probably be closed some time
this week according to City
Health authorities.
The maintaining of the hos
pital has largely been done by
volunteer help with the valued
assistance of Visiting Nurse
Mrs. Bertha Olson, and has been
a big undertaking, but without
it many cases which were treat
ed at the institution might have
resulted seriously. The hospital
was established for persons hav-
ing no place where they could
be treated and for cases where
the entire family was i'll with
the disease and in caring for
these persons it has served its
purpose.
The epidemic seems to be
holding it's own at this time and
because of the large amount of
work in keeping the Emergency
hospital open it has been decided
to close the institution this
week. The building is now be-
|ingdfproughly cleaned and will
be thoroughly fumigated.
The ladies and the men who
have volunteered their time and
services in hospital work are
entitled to a great deal of credit
from the community. They
have risked their health in order
to relieve the sufferings of
others. At the hospital many
cases were treated, there being
as many as twenty-seven
patients in the institution at one
time, and because of these being
kept all at one place the spread
of the disease was curtailed in
a large measure.
The patients at the institution
were given the very best of care
and treatment and all have the
greatest praise for the vclun-
teers and others in charge.
The Emergency hospital has
demonstrated the need for a
hospital for this city. Some
such hospital should be estab-
lished., 1t need not be large
one to answer the purposes of
the people of the city.

Damaged the Jail.

Hans Christensen. age about
twenty years, resident of the
town of Mason, who was in the
county Jail the past week await
ing an examination as to his
sanity, did considerable damage
to Jail property during his con-
inement. During his wild
spells young Christensen tore
the plum bing from the walls.
removed the steam radiator,
tore four locks off the Jail win
dow and battered the bars with
such force that he twisted the
bars and lnosened the brick and
mortar which held them. He
also tore his bed and bedding.
During his raving he was hard
to control but his attendants
luckily escaped harm. He was
taken to the Mendoza asylum
the latter part of the week by
Sheriff Murray. who was ac-
companied by Martin Larson.
During the trip he behaved
pretty we'll during the greater
part of his journey.

AFine Attitude

George Mertz, west end con-
fectionery store proprietor, does
not think the Red Cross posters
are good enough to grace the
windows of his establishment.
He was called upon this week
and asked if a Red Cross poster
could be placed in his window
announcing the coming men,
bership campaign. He told the
boy to ''Get out with his Red
Cross posters" saying "the war
is over and there is no more
need for the Red Cross any,
how" The boy reported this
to the Publicity Manager and
Mr.. Mertz was again called upon
to learn the truth of the state
ment. Mr.. Mertz who has a
great habit of clustering up
when the boys call, rather cooled
down somewhat when an older
person called, but he still insist
ed that the war was over and he
did not see what more should be
done for the Red Cross anyhow.
He rather intimated that he was
being accused of not being pa
triotic and after reciting that he
had done more than his share in
purchasing liberty bonds and
war savings stamps which pay
a nice rate of interest, said "You
can report me and be damned if
you want to-.
During the last War Savings
campaign a number of young
lady solicitors reported that
George Mertz would not take
any war savings stamps. He
finally did, however, when called
upon by a man solicitor who told
him Why he should subscribe.
George now thinks because
the armistice has been signed
that the Red Cross should pack
their trunks and return to their
homes. We can hardly figure
out what he thinks will become
of the wounded soldiers, the
starving women and children,
the sick and dieing civilians in
the war torn countries without
the Red Cross, but if everyone
adopted his attitude they could
shift for themselves as best they
could.
If George Mertz thinks any
one is going to report him for
his remarks he is badly mistaken
but we do intend to let others
know just how he feels in re-
gard to Red Cross posters and
the Red Cross.
If he now changes his mind
and wants to display a Red Cross
poster he will have to borrow
one from someone else the
Publicity department obeyed his
demand to get out with the
Red Cross posters and they
