HOSPITAL PATIENTS PUB
LISH A NEWSPAPER

The following is an extract iron
the Medical Journal. a journal whicl
circulates all over the United States
Patients of the u. Public Heath
Service Hospital ut Fort Bayard.
New Mexico, are publishing a
weekly newspaper known as the
Mountain Breeze. The paper was
first printed on a multigraph with
but 200 readers. The paper met
with approval OF the patients and
hospital officials and a few weeks
later staff was organized. In
short period Of time the paper has
increased its circulation to 1000
copies and In size to twelve pages,
containing much information and
news Of value to the patients in
the hospital and the community In
general.
The purposes Of the paper, aside
frome Its news value, are to unite
the patients In their own interests
and give them interesting work In
the preparation OF items for the
paper and occasionally cause
smile TO those who have dark and
gloomy hours. The paper Is In
charge Of James d. Hill as editor.
No government funds are used In
the printing Of the Mountain
Breeze aud all articles are writ
ten by the patients and the publi-
cation Is entirely managed by hos
uital patients.
The above extract shows that the
Mountain Breeze is gaining "A reputa-
tion and is on the way TO become a
National Newspaper. It is our inten-
tlon to print every week summary Of
the weeks news and important events,
beginning probably with our next issue.
We are sorry to have to compete with
the Chicago Tribune and Denver Post,
and perhaps eventually put those or
sans out of business, hut competition
Is the life Of trade and you can't keep
4 good newspaper down. Our con.
science has troubled us somewhat, but
we have decided that the Chicago Tri-
lune and Denver Post have held the
'loor long enough and we are determin-
ri to show them no mercy.

working on a program which. II accom-

Different committees are now busy in
the several departments and the result
has been the most encouraging which the
fair ever experienced. One of the best
things which has happened thus far is
the securing by Secretary Wool of
Andrew Elliot of Calf, ontario. as the
Judge of cattle. This is an important
feature of the fair as It is expected that
there will be at least 200 of ths finest
bred cattle in Vermont. This year a

according to the arrangements.
