THE VALUE OF A HOSPITAL.
(Naldez AIiner.)

Those of us who live within few mo- ment's ride of a good hospital are not prone to realize the blessings of an institution of this kind. When loved ones are suddenly stricken by disease or accident is when the city dweIler appreciates his good luck in living in modern times.
 Not only is the question of time one of the utmost importance in the saving of life, but the watchful care and attention shown the patient are great factors in life saving.
 Suppose today that Valdez had no hos pital. An emergency liable to occur in any family comes suddenly to you. Suppose the suffering victim had to be loaded on a boat, and despite stress of weather and great distance one you loved had to be con- veyed many miles to a hospital. No mat ter how expert the members of a family may be in medicine and surgery they can never hope to rival a hospital.
 The hospital is as necessary to a com munity as lights, water, schools, Or any other modern convenience. Every resident, unless assured by divine power against sickness or accident should aid in the support of an institution of this kind. No man can tell the day or hour when its need may be imperative.
 Very few hospitals pay in a monetary sense. In a healthful community their sup port is confined to accidents and maternity cases. The doors of the institution are ajar for rich and poor alike. It turns down no worthy case, trusting to be recompensed at some future date for service, food and medicines
 To do its work well hospital must be equipped with the latest life-saving appli- ances. It must be ready at any hour of the day or night to extend it's ministrations to the general public.
 The locality without good hospital is poor indeed. By helping to keep an insti- tuition of this kind alive you are insuring yourself and family against discomforts, and possibly death.
