The membership drive of the Wo-
mans Board of the Day Kimball hos
pital is now on in earnest and results
are being obtained that point to a
most successful campaign. Sa far as
known, David Smith, manager of the
Bradley theatre, has the honor of be-
ing the first business man enrolled
He handed out crisp new FIVE dollar
bill Monday morning when he was
asked to join and told the canvasser
that he expected no change.
The funds raised are used for hos
pital necessities. The Woman's
Board deyises many ways and means
of raising money each year. Their
appeals receive ready response on all
occasions and there is no doubt Of the
success of the membership campaign.
The following statistics denote the
great amount of work and the in
creased amount of work the hospital
is doing:
The number of patients admitted IN
1916 was 464, remaining over II, total
475. The number admitted last year
was 722, remaining over, Il, total, 735s
The out patients for 1916 numbered
l42, number treated CIT For last year
the out patients numbered &c, number
treated 951
Total days care-191s, sos7; 1918.
l1.2O7.
Free patients-191s, 1l6 with 1891
DAVIS care; 1918. free patients, t4S
with 2.649 days care.
1t vas thought that the Hospital had
reached its maximum capacity for car
ing for patients in 1916. There have
been no additions or engagements 70
the building in the past two years Dut
so more patients had TO be cared for,
and were II is not necessary to dWeh
upon the very largely advanced cost
Of supplying such care.
The campaign for members will con
tinue until February D. the date of the
Valentine Tea. A great deal of time
and thought have been spent on Ovid
ing the city into sections ana placing
competent solicitors in charge, so that
a thorough and systematic canvass viii
be made The drive in the surround
ing towns is also being conducted in
similar way. and there should be no
question as to the complete success OF
the campaign throughout TIE county.
