HOLD DONATION DAY.
Physicians and Surgeons Hospital Re-
quests Aid; Did Good Work.

Thursday, November q, Is annual
dona ion day at the Physicians and
Surgeons Hospital The committee, of
which Mrs Bessie p FIitz is chairman
invites donations of money, linens
groceries, etc.
During the year the hospital has done
noble work in caring for the sick. When
the influenza epidemic broke out in the
city recently, the hospital was the first
one to open its doors to the suffering.
Ia fact, all lrgical and medical cases
were refused by the hospital manage
ment that influenza sufferers might be
cared for. Subsequently, the hospital
opened its doors to convalescent influenza
patients
During the year the hospital also cared
for many typhoid sufferers from out OF
town. The new hos ital has been finish
ed and is one Of the most modern to be
found in any city. It now has home
for its nurses, the property No. S3l Van
Buren street having been purchased
recently for this purpose

THE SCALES HAVE TIPPED,
HOLD THEM

The fate of the world hung in the
balance two months ago.
What was it to be-a chance for
free countries to work out their own
destines in peace and hberty-or a
hell of barbarous absOlutism!
For days the scales hung tremb-
ling and uncertain, while that bat
tie of soul against machinery waged
on, with its terrible human sacrifice
increasing.
Then the scales tipped with a
jerk.
And the gods of humanity's fu-
ture cried in joy and relief.
The forces of freedom, of democ-
racy, of decency, had gained a foot
hold that made ultimate victory only
matter of hanging on, fighting on,
What did it?
All that magnificent Allied army
of course, and it's courage, and the
fact that its cause was right.
But there was one added element
which had not been there before and
without it, the scales might-no one
knows.
