Vawter Of tho Security Savings
Bank.
What Acquisition Means.
In a nutshell here is what the ac-
QUESTION OF the farm of 1888 acres
will mean to the public.
Two isolation cottages, one for
smallpox and the other for other con-
tagious diseases, available to patrons
OF the hospital.
Home for convalescents, who may
be moved, when recovering from ILL
nesses, and given the benefits OF
country air and surroundings.
Home for old people, who, while
not needing trained nursing and hos
pital care, yet are infirm, may be
cared for at less expense to them
selves. and thru their occupancy Of
the county home make available
more room in the hospital proper.
| occupancy of farm will provide six
teen more beds. for patients in the
Deaconess hospital.
Patients will have advantages of
home raised produce, both summer
and winter, and milk that can be
be watched to better advantage for
cleanliness.
To Erect Many Buildings
The erection of many buildings on
tho acreage tract will be necessary
to carry out the superintendent
plans. Just when they will be built
Is not known now, but IL costs fall
to somewhere normal, the buildings,
or at least a part of them, will be
/ built next summer
1T is planed to provide in the
isolation cottages one that will
accommodate a half dozen patients
who may have diphthepia. scarlet
fever, influenza, or other contagious
diseases. The other, to be used for
smallpox cases, will be larger.
In all five cottages will be built,
the two isolation cottages, GONZALES
cents home, old peoples home. and
a recreation home for nurses, where
they may rest after coming off hard
cases at the hospital and build up
for future work.
The present dwelling on the farm
will be used for the tenant care-
taker. and a new house will be built
for the occupancy of the superin-
tendent and his family. Mr.. Rest
will have supervision of the farm.
The acreage tract, which Is on the
Lincoln Highway pavement. will be
handicapped in front of the buildings,
and will, within a few years, be one
OF the city.
! How Plans Work Out.
i The plans of the superintendent
for adding a farm to the equipment
of the hospital, work out as follows:
By yacatinE the apartments his fam
lily now occupies in the present
nurses' home building. the superin-
tendent intends to place in those
rooms nurses who are unable now
to find quarters In the nurses home,
and are domiciled on the third floor
of the administration building of
the hospital. The space vacated in
the hospital building will provide
room for sixteen more beds. and
u these sixteen beds will be for pat
tents in the eye, ear. nose and throat
department of the hospital. already
badly crowded. AZ
Feed Garbage For Meat.
4 In any hospital, or public institu-
4 ton, there is much waste in garbage
unless it can be utilized. On the
new farm sufficient hogs will be
kept to use the waste from the hos
I pital, and the meat will supply the
hospital kitchen with all the pork
products it can use.
Fruit trees to be added to the
orchard already on the farm will
furnish, in time all the fruit the hos
pital requires, and seasonable vege-
tables and all winter vegetables will
be raised on the place. Sufficient
cows will be kept to provide the
large quantity of milk used in the
hospital.
Purchase Fund Already Started.
Rev. Mr.. Rest has had in mind an
enterprise of this kind for several
years, and since last May has been
soliciting funds from the various
congregations of the >~Evangelical
] Lutheran denomination. He has
engagements now for every Sunday
until October, and when the deal for
purchase was closed was able to
make a very substantial payment on
the purchase price.
Hospital Out Of Debt.
The Deaconess hospital, which was
opened in 1914, now is entirely out
rof debt, and self-sustaining. The
newly-added departments-the bac-
THEOLOGICAL laboratory and the X-ray
room-add materially to the efficien-
cy of the hospital and are eminently
successful. An order for sixty MILL
grams of radium, costing $1,000, has
been placed, for delivery in Novem-
Der.
Sister Sophia Hubeli, superntend-
ent of nurses in the hospital, left
Monday night for much-needed
rest. She will be gone four weeks.
and will pass most Of her time at
