County Hospital

The grand jury, on Investigating the county hospital, find the sanitary conditions the worst you could i'm agine. For instance, they have no bathrooms and no baths in the entire building, and only two stools in the entire hospital If any of the patients have a bath, they must go at least 50 or 60 yards to the bathhouse, which sits away from the hospital building. Also the patients that cannot walk must be carried to the bathhouse, being exposed to all kinds of weather. The ward known as the west ward has a toilet and no bath, the room, however, being large enough for a threc-quarter bathtub. In this ward the patients are kept that can take care of themselves after fasl1ien, most of them being able to walk around. The worst thing we find in this room is that fact that they all have an aid can of some kind which they use for cuspidors, which are very unsanitary, as they are only dumped out and never scalded or fumigated"
 Pioneer Home
 "The grand jury, deeming it proper to investigate the condition of all public institutions within the county and at the request of Super intendent George A. Shea of the Pio- neers' Home, took occasion to in- spect this institution.
 We are glad to say that we found he home in most excellent condition throughout. Cleanliness seems to be the motto of everyone connected with the management. While the food is of superior quality cooked and served ill an appetizing manner, and abundant in quantity, there was every evidence of strict economy everywhere. The pioneers enrolled there, both men and women, are, without exception, enthusiastic over the treatment accorded them and the splendid condition in which the in- stitution is kept We were unable to find any fault of any kind and did not hear a word from any pioneers except in commendation.
 'We do, however, reccomend that proper steps be taken to secure a porch or veranda for the ladies ward, as at present there is no suitable place for them to enjoy the open air and sunshine during the summer months
 "The construction of new wing on the south end of the home, now about to be commenced, will render this institution, as we believe, the finest and most complete institution of its kind to be found anywhere, and we have no hesitancy in saying that the state and all concerned are to be congratulated upon the excellence of this home and the admirable management it receives under the ad- of its present superin- tendent"

THE MOSQUITO
IS DEADLY
Disease Carrying Insects Everywhere
Danger

Mosquitoes have always been with
us but their true character has only
been recognized a short time. They
are carriers of malaria germs and
other deadly diseases. DR.. Carroll, a
government investigator in Cuba says
Natural yellow fever is transmitted
by the mosquito and always and only
by the mosquito"
The mosquito bite is often as dead
ly as a rattlesnake's.
By every method known to mankind
both the national and local health
services are trying to exterminate the
mosquito. But this will never be.
We must protect ourselves against
this pest. by proper screening and the
use of TORMENT. TORMENT is a
gaseous vapor in which no mosquito
or fly can live. 1t is. death to insects.
Torment is sold by druggists. gen.

RETAIL TRADE DIFFICULTIES.
Merchants Have Had to Meet a Very
Difficult Situation.

Probably never before in the his
tory OF business, have the retail mer-
chants had to meet such a difficult
situation. On the one hand they have
had to meet the public, which has
been hot over high prices. Many peo-
pie who could not increase their in
come to balance the raise in prices,
nave visited their wrath upon the
retail merchant, whom they have in
dignantly charged with profiteering.
And on the other hand, they have
had to meet the demands of the
manufacturers and the wholesalers
which have been sometimes about
impossible. 1t has taken a great
deal of effort even to secure deliver
les OF goods through this period.
Then when the stores got the stuff
they have often had to pay prices
liked at time of delivery.
Now with the public striking
against high prices, they may no
sooner get merchandise into their
stores than they find they are com
PEELED to cut prices on it to move it,
Or they may have to sacrifice on il
to pay off loans that have been call
led.
Some of the big retailers catering
TO fancy trade in large cities, have
no doubt made good money. When
ever people show indifference about
prices, and deliberately select the
most costly things, the merchant
can make money, because he can fit
his prices to meet the situation.
prices to meet the situation.
The average retailer in a place
like DEBORAH finds it hard work to
do as we'll, cost of his own living
considered, as he was doing before
tie war. The people must remember
that they need the service of their
home stores. They must be willing
t. allow a fair return.
If the public will buy everything
possible of their home stores it will
help the merchants keep cleaned up
and in a position to pay off loans
promptly, and meet the changes of
tie times as they come.
