plans for a 100000 hospital to be
erected this year.
The hospital, to be one of the finest
in the state, will be erected on the
famous Martin Hill'' site, west of To-
peka, out the Tenth avenue road. 1t
will be the second building of the
monster home and hospital plan that
has been outlined to Topekans several
times by w. A. Biby, treasurer, and ].

The hospital will be of fireproof
construction. will be equipped with the
most modern appliances, will include
nurses school and will pay special
attention to disabled soldiers emerging
from the great war.
The money is on hand to use in the
construction of the hospital, w. A.
Biby. national treasurer in Topeka,
members of the society have pledged
"a nickel a month" for the main

Just one year ago w. A. Biby ap-

Commerce with his home and hospital
plan. The illustrated lecture he gave
that night before the members pic

only visionary to a majority of the
business men of the city. But Biby
was in earnest. He went after the
problem, just as he has been going
after the giver in the war work drives
The city bought 800 acres of land on
the strength of Biby's promises. Cities
all over the country competed for the
site of the home and hospital. Topeka
made the most flattering proposition
Even then Topeka was in doubt
about the promises of a certain invest
