HOSPITAL DRIVE
on TOMORROW
EXPRESSION OF OPINION BY CIT
IZENS IN VARIOUS LINES.

Being a railroad man and engaged
IN a necessarily hazardous occupa-
ton, | am interested in the new hos !
pital, knowing when it is completed
that / can have the best hospital care
right at home, should my time come
to need it."-Hans Hanson.
! "One hundred thousand dollars
worth of stock in the New Madison
Hospital has been sold; Approximate
! ly $4,000 of stock remain to be sold
before the building can be complet-
ed If this money cannot be raised
further work on the hospital must be
| postponed. We cannot afford to
abandon this most worthy project
when it is so near completion. Let
us all put our shoulders to the wheel
| in a last supreme effort to raise the
necessary funds to complete this cry
ing need of the community. BY sub
scribing for stock you not only are
boosting your community, but you
are, at the same time, participating
in an interest bearing investment
Thomas A. Walden.
"As public health nurse in Lake
county, | realize the big demand for
more and better hospital facilities.
Our health survey to be made this
year will create a demand for clinic
and consultation work that should be
held in connection with a hospital.
The home nursing lessons given in
our schools is creating an interest in
nurses training among our high
school girls. We want these girls to
get a good training. but We want
them in Lake county, hence We need
a high class traininf school if We he
a high class training school if we
hope to hold our girls. Merlin Will
kin, county nurse.
Apart from the prestige given our
city by the erection of we'll
equipped hospital, | am strongly in
favor of it for the sake of suffering
humanity. 1t is our duty to care for
the sick, and to care for them accord
ing to our ability. To refuse is to
act the egoist whose only conception
, to good is selfish pleasure. Father
, Flynn.
1T is hard to imagine why any per-
son would not boost our new hospi-
tai. Personally, | could not do 9th
erwise. | can see the following point,
among a host of others, very clearly.
1t will help our normal school be-
cause the parents can now feel as
sured of every modern attention to
the health of their children whils
here with us at school. This in it
self is a restful peace of mind worth
while to the parents and must surely
help the school"-C. C. Wagner.
THE people of Madison should
give their financial aid to the new
hospital because we sorely need il,
because it benefits every man. womap
, and child in town. because it is a pub
lie enterprise, and every public spir-
tied citizen ought to boost for 1T, and
;, subscribe his money to build it,
,, H. H. Holdridge.
