PLEASED WITH HOSPITAL.

Haywood Hospital, Maysville, KY,
December 81, 1920.
To whom 1t may concern:
Having been patient here for for
ty-six days feel that l owe it to the
public as we'll as to the courteous,
sympathetic and efficient treatment
that l have received.
Miss Cochran's administrative abil-
ity gives system and order every
where. At the ring Of the little bell
that lies beside each patient, the love-
ly nurses come bounding like "The
wild gazelle with his silvery feet" and
every wish is granted.
The doctors in their watchful wait
ing have been careful to prevent any
avoidable pain.
The menus comprise every substan-
tial and delicacy found in the Mays
vile market. This is my first hospital
experience but can not conceive how
conditions could be improved.

 ID BE CELEBRATED
."The Feast of the TabernacIeS'' at Jewish Places of
 Worship

At the several Jewish places of wor- ship in the city the celebration of the Feast of the Tabernacles." or Sue coth," will commence Sunday evening with appropriate services.
 This year the Feast of Taber- nacles' falls on Sunday evening, Sep tember 26, and Monday, September 27, and continues for eight days. The frs, and last days of the feast, which are more important than the intervening days, are observed as holy days on which appropriate services are held in the houses of worship.
 As part of the ceremonial of the feast the law ordains that the Israelite shall take on the first day of the festi- val "the fruit of the goodly tree, the branches of palms, the boughs of thick leaved trees and the willows of the brook. and rejoice before the Lord" This is observed by bringing citron fruit, palm branch, myrtle and willow into the house of God. In the book of Nehemiah VIII:15, is a detailed de- scription of the celebration of this festival in Biblical days.
 The festival is in intent and cere- monial thanksgiving festival, inter twining gratitude for Gods mercy unto the people of Israel amidst the nations of the world, with thankfulness for His bounty and grace to each indi. vidual. It is the harvest festival and the earliest thanksgiving feast, the type after which the American Franks giving Day was fashioned. @
