wing facing Third Street S. E., first
and work on it was commenced in
May, 1917, and has just been COM

story and basement and with the old
building enables the Sisters to take
care of ninety patients. The building
is modern in every detail and it's
equipment is not surpassed anywhere
in the northwest.
The main entrance is on Third
street, S. E. and leads to the main
floor, on which is located the o--ices,
including private office and general
office, reception room and chapel.
Every room is deliberately furnished
and spotlessly clean and presents a
cheerful appearance. The rooms are
all well lighted and are fitted with an
excellent ventilating system. Mass
will be celebrated every morning in
the chapel, as has been the custom
since the Sisters assumed manage

The building is fitted with an ele-
vator on which patients can be moved
from one floor to another The stairs
and corridors are wide and we'll locat-
ed. On the second floor there are
twentyseven private rooms and two
wards of six beds each. Some of the
private rooms have a private bath
and on this floor is cleanup room
fitted with utensil sterilzer. Since it
is the plan to use this section Of the
hospital mostly for surgical cases, the
third floor is given over entirely to
surgical equipment, including two
Murphy operating tables, sterilizing
room, and a lying-in room, with the
very latest equipment for caring for
confinement cases, also a consulting
room for doctors, with a shower bath
in connection. The sterilizing room is
fitted with a White Line sterilizer.
One of the main features of the oper-
ating room is the lighting equipment
which is almost perfect. The focus
lights used on the operating tables
are recognized and used by all the
large hospitals in the country. With
the completion Of this floor, St. JOS
eph's hospital is provided with three
operating tables.
The basement consists Of dining
room for the Sisters, one for the
nurses and one for the maids, a
nurses class room, refrigerator, bak-
cry and X-ray room and a sub-base-
ment for the heating plant.
Commemorative of the occasion,
and to add elegance and beauty to the
usefulness of the private rooms, some
Of the representative citizens of Mi
not and the lodges donated and fur
nished their entire equipment, the
magnificence of which but expresses
the high esteem in which the Sis
tiers are held. The donors were: J.
H. Weinrebe, w. s. Kingsley, P. w.
Meyers, Dr. G. Roy Ringo, the Daugh-
ters of Isabella, the Knights of Column
bus, the Elks' Lodge, Foster & Con-
molly, j. A. Van Fleet, the graduate
nurses Of the city, Mr. L. C. Eby, and
two rooms by the priests of the DID,

completion Of the new hospital, a
dream of seven years come true, pre-
sented magnificent Raudenbush &

There are now nine Sisters and
eighteen nurses connected with the
hospital. A waiting class of twenty
five pupil nurses will take up their
work in the near future. Others who
are planning to take up the nursing
profession should not delay in placing
their applications, since the number
from now on is to be limited.
The opening of the new hospital
means a great deal to Minot, where
there has never been adequate hospital
facilities. The Sisters, the citizens Of
Minot, and the public at large may
we'll be congratulated on this history
