entirely. The present management OF
tlf~ contagious unit. IL was pointed out
will act entirely upon the decision OF
Council. II the appropriation is made
they are willing to turn the hospital
over TO the city.
That the Physicians and Surgeons
Hospital does not care to retain con-
troll Of the unit is evident. However
the present management will act en-
tirely upon the directions OF the city.
The cost per month for the main
tenanee of the contagious unit is es-
tinated at 200. II has been in opera
tion for seven months and all con-
trihutions coming from a private
source have been discontinued. il was
declared. The present managers are
unable to raise sufficient funds for
Its upkeep. and because of this an
appeal will he made TO City Council
next week. As last means of saving
the Hospital. the management. II Is
understood. will lease the present
property for a nominal sum. with the

With its maintenance. The property

John Booker. chairman Of the execu-
tive committee of the general Phy-
chairman Of the investigating com
mitteo OF the kiauanis Club, today
declared that this was not nm appeal
TO support a private organization SET
up for the accommodation of private
individuals, but one Of much import
ance and value to the city.
1T should be a recognized fact that
the city should have under it's control
an institution of this kind" said Mr..
Booker. IF Council viii appropriate
$1,000. We are perfectly willing to let
them run IL. also. they may turn 1t
over to the Board of Health. IL they
so choose"
With the appropriation of 5000, as
well as the appropriation of 50 for
each INDECENT patient allowed by the
Levy Court. will be sufficient to con-
tinue with the maintenance of the
hospital for another year. said Mr..
Booker.
That SIMILAR action will be taken
by the Board of Education was also
pointed out. A unit for the treat
ment of contagious diseases, especial
ly. among school children, was de-
clared a decided asset in checking the
spread of disease in the public schools.
The question of securing necessary
funds for the maintenance of the con-
tagious unit. IL is understood. will be
discussed at the meeting of the Board
of Education next Monday night.

Little Stories For Bedtime
PETER RABBIT IS STILL LONE
SOME
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS

Peter Rabbit had left the dear old
nriar patch on the Green Meadows
and come up to the Old Pasture be-
cause he was lonesome. Ever since
Old Man Coyote had come to live on
the Green Meadows, Peter had been
afrai dto go about as he always had
done, and because no one else lived in
the old briar patch Peter had grown
so lonely that he couldn't stand it.
So one moonlight night he had
stolen out and made the long journey
to the Old Pasture. Up there he felt
sure that he would have nothing to
fear from Old Man Coyote or Granny
and Reddy Fox. But on the way Peter
had been careless and had forgotten
to watch out for Hooty the Owl, and
Hooty had almost caught him.
All the rest of that night Peter sat
under n friendly old bramble bush on
the edge of the Old Pasture and
nursed the sore places made by the
claws Of Hooty the owl. At last
jolly. round, red Mr. Sun began to
climb up in the blue, blue sky, just
as he does every day. Peter looked
up at him. and he felt sure that Mr..
Sun winked at him. Somehow 1t
made him feel better. The fact is.
Peter was beginning to fell just a
wee bit homesick. 1t is bad enough
to be in a strange place alone, but
to be sore and smart and ache. as
Peter did, makes that lonesome feel
ing a whole lot harder to bear. 1t Is
dreadful not to have any one to speak
TO, but to look around and not see
a single thing you have ever seen
before. my, my, it certainly does give
a funny sinking feeling way down
inside
Before that long night was over
Peter felt as II his heart had gone
way down to his very toes Yes. sir,
that's the way he felt. Every time
he moved he cried "Ouch!" He just

My artior was dampened. however,
when l opened the door of the apart

old kimono, was in the hall carrying
a glass of milk.

When trouble comes, a friendly

Makes bright the very darkest

And so, just as he made bright all
the Old Pasture Mr.. Sun also made
bright the dark little corners in
Peters heart, just because he was an
old friend. To be sure Peter was still
lonesome, but it was a different kind
of lonesomeness. He hadn't anybody
to talk to. which is always dread
full thing to Peter, but he had only to
look up to catch friendly wink, and
somehow that not only made him feel
better inside, but it seemed to make
his aches and smarts better, too.

TRACTOR SPILL COST BRIDE

To have his wife desert him while
he lay pinned under gasoline tractor
was the fortune of Howard C. Ed
wards. 50. a Knox county, Nebraska,
farmer living along the Niobrara river
near Santee.
Shortly after Edwards went to
work in the morning the tractor he
was riding turned over on it's side in
a corner of the field. Both of his
legs and one arm were pinner under
the machine. He was found, con-
scious and uninjured, the next morn
ing by a neighbor who happened to
cut across the Edwards place.
When Edwards arrived home he
found the house deserted and a note
from his second wife, a bride of two
weeks.
Howard: Yesterday you wouldn't
wipe the dishes for me and today you
didn't come home to dinner or supper
I'm tired of living on a farm and I'm
going back to Chicago and hunt me a
