 Hours later, when he went to the hotel where he had registered with her, he found her dead, her outstretched hand clutching one last potion of the poison which had done so much to wreck her hopes and bring her to this miserable end,
 Sight of the drug fends in the alley men who had doubtless served her often bcfore-awoke with overpowering force the desire which had laid it's curse on her long ago in one of the most notorious of Parisian resorts. And they supplied her, it is believed, with the white pow der which joined hands with the whisky to stop the beating of her weary young heart.
 That was the end of Sara Cowsn-- the beautiful Baltimore heirsss, who squandersd . fortune of e2,6oo,o0o and plunged from one of fashionabls society's proudsst pinnseles into the dark depths of the drug-crased underworld, all in the short space of . dozen years.
 Her case is remarkable on account of her family's wealth and prominence and because of her own youth, beauty and unusual talents; but it is by no means unique. One of the most appalling con- dtions of modern times is that revealed by the rapidly increasing number of women who are going the same cruel way poor Sara Cowen has gone. Soci- ologists arc wondering whether woman. not satisfied with economic and political equality, Is to insist on sharing all mans deplorable vices and the bitter punish msnt that inevitably follows them.

hospital. However, since approximately |
$4,000 viii have TO be expended for hos

not be sufficient to equip the hospital
unless various individuals or

Florence Nightingale, Founder
of Nursing Principles,

Pifty-seven years ago today, Florence
Nightingale established the principles
upon which were founded the modern
war hospital. the Red Cross service, the
profession of nursing, and the admins
iration and organization Of hospitals. To-
day is National Hospital Day, eommem.
Grating her work.
1t was in the spring Of 1854 that she
left with a band Of forty volunteer wom-
en- for Crimes, in order that the suffer.
ing Of men might be alleyiaied. Sixteen
thousand soldiers were in the field. and
due to the poor management and poor
sanitation, much disease prevailed. She
fearlessley aided in all cases, and fought
through. government Incompetence and
jealousies and meanness When she re-
turned to England she was hailed as
angel Of Mercy" Angel Of Crimea,"
''The lady Of the lamp" and other terms
showing the gratitude which ths people
expressed for her work.
Florence Nightingale was born May
20, 1920. Her parents .were sxealthy and
thus every opportunity for the culiiva-
lion Of her talents and getting an edu-
cation was given her Her family

National Hospital Day has foand the
Boone County Hospital rapidly nearing
completion. All the brick work, the heat.
ing plant and the electric wiring is prac.
ticaily completed. Orders have been
placed for all The modern equipment and
appliances to be delivered as soon as
the interior is made ready for them. The
month Of May also marks the compile
tiOn Of . years work. on the new hospital.
The fact that the new hospital is not
yet quite ready for occupancy is largely
due to The many delays in The shipment
Of necessary materials. However. work
has been going on steadily for the last
few months, and October has been def
inilely decided upon as the date for the
opening Of the new hospital.
The movement for county hospital
began in 1917, when the State Legisla-
iure passed law providing for the is
suance Of bonds by any county court
after the people Of the county should
have decided upon 9 hospital in gen
eral election, -f. -.
Boone County was one Of The FIRST three
counties in the state TO avail itself Of the
opportunity. Bonds ia the amount Of
100000 we're voted by the people. and
when this was found 70 be insufficisn,
an additional $4,000 -was aR,ed in
later election. In each election the ma
joriiy in favor Of the issuance. Of the
bonds was overwhelming. :.
The H. III. Tapdy residence on East
Broadway. including four acres Of land
on one Of the highest and most pictar-
esque spots in Columbia, Was bought as
site for the new hospital. The resi- !
dence itself viii be used as home for
the nurses. -
The building is Of brick with Bedford
stone trimmings, concrete floors and /
stairway, and is thoroughly fireprOof. !
The powerhouse and laundry will be in
a separate building. A feature Of the
new hospital will be the ease with which !
additions may be made without inter
fering with the present heating, lighting
and plumbing systems. Enough. ground
has also been provided for any future
needs Of the hospital
Several persons and organizations have
Alfeady Offered to equip rooms in the
new hospital, and throughout the county
circles have been formed for
providing hospital supplies.
