!, OF HOSPITAL
Meeting Held at Chamber of
Commerce to Discuss
Need of Hospital
4 Addition.
PLACE OVERCROWDED
Is County Affair." Tenta-
tive Plans to be Submit
ted Later.

y Hamilton county is badly in need
OF 4 large addition to st. Josephs
Mercy hospital.
s The hospital is frequently over
d crowded and patients have to De
?, taken elsewhere.
There is no connection between
the Catholic church and the hos
pital. No hospital funds of any
! Kind 80 to the church.
A training school for nurses is
quite essential here, as professional
nurses are used more than ever be-
fore. A training school could be
established here if an addition is
constructed to the hospital.
An addition such as is projected
}, will cost about $65,0OO.
The above are the outstanding facts
brought out Friday evening at a mass
meeting of citizens held at the Cham
Der Of Commerce. President w. +. Cole
called the meeting and presided
Another meeting will be called some
evening this week, at which time a
committee to be named by President
Cole will make a report and will sub
nit suggestions as to the manner of
raising the money needed.
Hospital Crowded.
ictn IN 40, In,
of the hospital, was out of town Friday
evening for which reason no financial
statement could be given. DR.. G. Il.
McCauliff, however, had conferred with
her some days ago and had been auth
oriZed to state that all funds taken in
at the hospital are retained by the hos
pital association, not the church. The
hospital here had ran behind during
the first few years that the Sisters OF
Mercy operated it and this deficit was
made up by other hospitals they
operate which were paying. This de-
felt was later paid back by the local
institution. There have been 5000
patients cared for since the Sisters took
over the property, one-fifth of which
have been charity. No charity patients
have ever been turned away The hos
pital, however, is crowded good deal
of the time and patients frequently
have to be taken elsewhere. Nurses
are used in private homes good deal
and nurses training school is badly
needed here. 1t could be had with an
enlarged hospital.
DIR. Drake, DR.. f. f. Hall, DR.. Eflie
McCOllum Jones, Rev. Viets, Mrs. Alex
ander Groves, L. A. McMurray, G. H.
RichesOn and Father Barry also spoke.
Suggestions Made.
The suggestion was made that the
hospital is county affair and that
the financing of the proposed addition
should be done generally Over the
county. 1t was further suggested that,
inasmuch as everyone VINO has ever
been a patient in the hospital enter
tains the kindliest of feelings toward it,
former patients in this community
ought to be willing to contribute gen
erously.
This hospital means a great deal to-
Hamilton county. 1t is big prolcc-
ton in illness and the people CT the
whole county are yitally interested in
its maintenance and its enlargement to
meet present future needs.
President w. +. Cole will name
committee of five. of which he is 10 be
chairman. who will present more de-
tailed plans at a later meeting, at which
statement will be made.

# THIN AND NERVOUS
TRY BITRO-P -PHOSP HATE

While excessive thinness might be
attributed to various and subtle causes
in different individuals. it is a well.
known fact that the lack of phosph ).
rous in the human system is very large
ly responsible for this condition.
1t seems to be well established that
this deficiency in phosphorous may now
be met by the use of BitroPhosphate,
which can be obtained from any good
druggist in convenient tablet form.
In many instances the assimilation of
this phosphate by the nerve tissue
soon produces a welcome changc-nerve

KANSAS JUDGE DECLARES
NEW DIVORCE CAUSES ARE
WORSE THAN j. BARLEYCORN

Chanute, Kan, Nov. 25.--Despite the
fact that drunkenness, which at one
time carried the major role in the
divorce courts, no longer is considered
A serious factor in matrimonial troubles
that appear in court, new causes appear
to have arisen which have put old John
Barleycorn's record in that particular
in total eclipse, Judge S. C. Brown, of
The Neosho.W Wilson judicial district, told
an audience here. The judge was one
of number of laymen who have been
asked to fill local pulpit and discuss
current problems at Sunday evening
services.
when I was boy there were few

Today divorce has increased alarming

COMMISSIONERS AGREE
TO TURN WATER PIPE
TO CONSTR RUCT|ON CO,

At special meeting of the city com.
nissioners last night, presided over by
The mayor, the commissioners voted to
:urn the pipe it has over to the Ard
more Construction Company for the use
Of that company in completing the
water line.
The vote was exactly as it was out
lined in Sundays paper. F'raley, Will
son and Young voting TO turn the pipe
Dver, as requested by the citizens Of
the town, and Carter voting no.
Commissioner Carter said he could
not conscientiously vote to turn the
pipe loose until the city was remunera-
ted.
In this he was agreed with, by Mayor
Freeman.
Just before the vote was taken it was
suggested that the committee, headed
by j. r. Pennington, had its stinger
0ut after the city and the question
was asked Mr.. Pennington, if the vote
was favorable if his committee would
turn then to the Ardmore Construction
Company TO urge that company to
carry out its promises made to the
Chamber OF Commerce to finish the
line.
Mr.. Pennington said his committee
would most assuredly do that very
thing and when the vote was taken the
measure, which was introduced by A.
.. Young and seconded by j. l.. Wilson,
was put and carried.
City Attorney Brett was with the
board at its meeting and advised with
the members on every proposition and
recommended that the action be taken
being entered into.
Mayor Freeman, rose TO his feet and
made one of his stem winding speeches
in which he outlined his reasons for
not turning the pipe over to the con-
struction company, and recounted in
eloquent terms the steps that had been
taken, from the awarding of the con-
tract up to the present time. 1t was
his opinion, as expressed in the speech
that the turning of the pipe over to the
company will relieve the bondsmen Of
any responsibility. He said the con
struction company had been overpaid
s29 600 and this pipe would over.pay
The company $4,000 more.
Judge Brett is of the opinion that it
will not affect the responsibility of the
bonding company.
Following the action of the city, Mr.
Pennington promised to call his com
mittee together at once, and to notify
the construction company of the action
taken and urge the company to begin
active work at once
W. A. Hill, who is city inspector on
the work states that the roads are very
soft and he does not believe the pipe
can be hauled out He also says the
ditch.digging machinery is in bad con
dition ad will have to undergo repairs.
Commissioner Wilson stated that the
pipe could be hauled no matter what
condition the roads are in, if the com
pany is willing to pay enough for the
work.
With reference to the ditchdigging
machinery it is stated that the construc-
ton company will be urged not to wait
until weather comes to admit of its
use. but that it will be urged to use
pick and shovel and to complete the
work without delay.
