Hugh Florence "a farmer near this

narrowing with nine sows. He has
found no other hog breeder that can
anywhere near equal achievement.
Nine of his pure-bred Duroc Jersey
sows narrowed III pigs and he saved
rs of them. One sow narrowed 10,
another Is and a third Ia, bringing
the average of the whole herd close
to ID. The pigs that were saved are
all healthy, strong animals, and, fig

at high figures now quoted for pork,
he will reap a big profit on them.

cial arrangements have been made for
ar expenditure of approximately S5O'OVo
covering the cost of modern brick 40
room building ana fully equipping 1t Tor
a hospital to serve Florence and Lauder
dale county. In addition to pay wards,
the hospital will have free wards and
free clinic.
NJ. T. Jacobs, executive secretary of
the Florence Chamber of Commerce and
the board of directors have urged the
building of q hospital in Florence as
one of the primary things to be accom-
plished for the public welfare So,
through the cooperation and banding to-
eether of the city commissioners, county
Medical society, the ministers, the United
States public health service and the
Chambersof Commerce, plans were worked
out for the acquiring of the hospital
building and grounds, and as can be the
only result when such agencies join hands
the hospital Is now fact.
The city has acquired the building
erected by the Florence Land company,
situated on Tuscaloosa street, between
Walnut and Poplar streets. While the
building was originally constructed for
a hospital, it is in reality ideal for the
purpose for which 1t has been purchased.
AS one eminent physician from Boston
stated, after making an inspection of the
property, Although you tell me it was
constructed for hospital. if the archi-
tects had planned it for hospital, ex-
cept for one or two minor considerations,
they could not have planned better"
Mrs. Coffee donated magnificent sum
of money for the purpose of fully equip

spirit prompting that donation. and in
ffeotonate appreciation of that beloved
woman, the city commissioners prevailed
upon her to allow the hospital to bear
the name of one whom she devotedly
loved and cherished, and it win be COM
memorated as the ELIZA Coffee Memo
rial Hospital"
Details are now being completed and
lit is expected that actual activities to-
the end of purchasing equipment will be
taken.
In addition to the free wards and free
clinic already mentioned there will also
be a nurses training school under the
ST pervision of a graduated, competent,
ard efficient superintendent, co-ordinat-
ed and cooperating with the doctors.
The medical fraternity has pledged
itself to give its services in conducting
the free wards and the free clinic. This
