HOSPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
Addition to Main Building Now Nearly
Computed.

1t is expected that the addition to
the Putnam Memorial hospital build.
ing will be ready for use with the end
Of the present week. The extensions
to the north and south wings were
practically completed several weeks
ago but there have been annoying de.
lays in the shipment of plumbing and
electric fixtures.
The addition will largely add to the
facilities of the institution. The south
wing extension Will give the hospital
"a maternity department with nursery
capable OF caring for eight mothers
and as many new arrivals and the ad-
dItlon at the north will provide four
excellent rooms for patients.
Coed progress on the construction
Of the nursess home is being made
but failure to receive materials has
held back the work The interior Is
now so near completion that it Is pos
soible to realize how comfortably and
conveniently the nurses will soon be
housed. 1t is not possible at this

the home interior as the main stair
way has not been finished, but it can
safely be said that no hospital nurses
IN the entire country will have more
cheerful surroundings once the build
ng becomes ready for occupancy.
At the present time excavating is in
progress for large vegetable celler
adjoining tn garage. A large quanti-
ty OF produce is raised on the hospi
tai property and many thing from the
garden have been canned during the

1 aroused recently by the wrongs and
the betrayal OF the true interests OF
the country Young women students
were especially prom nent in this new

individuals who have revealed except

from an eight months trip through
the East visiting missionary stations
/ in Japan, China and India. Her ex-

as she described it, She brought very
vivid pictures of the brilliant lights

places, These lights were the embodi-
ment of the Pilgrim faith, through our
representatives breaking forth anew in
/ the mission fields Our need at home
was a great burning love to God
and wish to share that with every
last person,

was stereoptican shoy of pictures
in the church auditorium, illustrating
two famous home and foreign mis-.
Isionary hymns which were sung by

it impossible for members Of one par
