The foregoing paragraph recalls a

the policy Of the people to appropriate
the term of Americans, as if there
were nc people to the north of us or

equal claim or ihat name. It seems
to be more question of euphony,
while 1t is easy 20 say Canadians or
McNicans, there IS TO expression with
that limitation for us but United
Statcrs which would really tax our
patriotism to stand and we would still
be without a qualifying word or proper
adjective such as American supplies

crs won and go on down the annals
OF time as AMERICANS.

Congress has now officially declared
equality OF citizenship for women. This
status comes with the new ruling that
a woman does not forfeit her citizen
ship by marriage with an alien any
more than does a man. Each stands on

wife OF an American man must get
her citizenship through naturalization
papers and not by her marriage as for
morly. BY this just ruling some
changes are now made in the control
of property.

scale. He called attention to the
balanced crank shaft which stood on
end on the platform and said that
he had wagered that it was fastened,
but he found that it was SO perfect

Elm City Hospital Is
Sold to Local People

The Elm City hospital has again
changed hands. Mrs. w. w. Cook
who bought it from Mrs. Wallace
Wescott. when it was known as
Gray's Private hospital. has sold it to
Mr.. and Mrs. Roy Page of this city,
who will take possession the first of
March.
Mrs. Page, who will have the man
agement of the hospital. is a grad
uate nurse and has had experience
in both private and institutional
work. This makes her especially
fitted to take care of a hospital and
there is no doubt that she will have
a continuation of the fine business
that is being done there at the pres
ent time.
Mrs. Cook regrets leaving the hos
pital, but private matters necessitate
her doing so. She has had a most
successful business, more than an es-
tablishment of it's size could take
care Of but she feels that she leaves
a worthy successor in the person of
Mrs. Page.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cook will go to Shap-
leigh, where they own a place, for a
time, and they have other plans for
the future. Miss Florence Staples,
who has had charge of the hospital.
has completed her duties and is at
present staying with relatives in the
city.
