ING THEMSELVES.

That "God helps those who help
themselves" is the belief of the citi-
zens of Colville. county seat of Ste

kane, and a thriving prosperous little
city. G. W. Peddycord, formerly

of the Colville Examiner. published
bv our friend. ]. G. ("Brick Top")
Harrigan, containing an account of
what the hospital at Colville means
to that town. The experience of Col
vile might well be taken as pointing
the way for Moscow citizens. The
article from the Colville Examiner
follows:
Keep Money in County Rather Than
In Spokane
The Mt. Carmel hospital was open
to the public July 1919, at a cost
of s18. 900.
From date of opening to Julv 1920,
the institution has cared for 24S sur
gical and 1871 medical cases, "a per
cent of these cases coming from
trading points outside Of Colvilie.
A statement from one of the Sno-
kane hospitals says that 81 per cent
IF their patients come from points
of Spokane and that those
patients and the persons accompany
them, spend on an average OF
5000 with the business houses of Spo-
zane during their stay.
If this is true. you can readily see
what the Mt. Carmel hospital with
I6S out-of-town patients a year is
loing for Colville. In other words,
f our hospital is bringing $33.60O a
7ear to our town, it is worth think
ng about.
Our experience in depending on /!
'ther hospitals to furnish US nursing
lelp has proven unsatisfactory.
