WANTS FLAG CARVED
on HIS TOMBSTONE
Civil War Veteran and West.
ern PIainsman Makes
This Request in viii.

DURAND, ILL.,, Jan. 13.-That the
American flag be carved on a
granite slab over his grave is one
Of the requests made in the will
OF Matt Trask. civil war veteran.
scout and plainsman Of the early
days, whose funeral was held here.
Matt, son of Elias Trask, was
born September 81, 1847, near the
village of Durand, and at twenty
enlisted in the Eleventh Illinois
Infantry. On the expiration of that
enlistment he re-enlisted in the
fantrys serving until the close Of
the war.
AS boy he had attended the
famous debate between Abraham
Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas at
Freeport. He walked twenty miles
to hear the speeches.
A few years after his discharge
from the army he went West,
where he was engaged in prospect
ing for gold in California, Wash
ington and other Pacific States.
He also served as a scout in the
more remote regions Of those
States.
Returning to Durand he became
interested In the breeding and
trading of horses. With his flow.
ing hair and broad -brimmed hat
he was familiar figure at race
tracks throughout the country for
many years.

fall, but Mr.. Myers raised Ia, 1902
pints OF berries on the six acres. or
167 per cent more than the year be-
fore he drained his land. He re-
ceived $3.50 for his crop. Had the
land not been drained he would
certainly not have raised more than
1000 pints in all and probably much
less. The 1000 pints would have
brought him $1.O99.41. In other
words, he Melted on his six acres
$1s760.5S above the preceding year,
or 81 ,150.h9 above the cost of drain
ing the six acres, or $550.59 above
the entire cost of the drainage
system Of twelve acres.
Mr.. Myers was so elated over his
results that he made a special trip
to Blacksburg during the Farmers
Institute, last year to tell the newly
created department OF the handsome
returns he had received from his
investment. and the gains that were
his from the scientific advice given
by the Virginia Tech drainage
specialists.

Must Be Built

The General Building is vital
ly necessary because it will en-
able people of modest means to
find private hospital accommo-
dations when they need them,
instead of having to go into
public wards, as at present. The
Nurses Home is vitality needed
because it will furnish decent
accommodations for the nurses
who serve us faithfully, and be-
cause it will increase the eff
cheney of the hospital service to
the public.

The Vital Need

The great need is shown by a
simple table of the number. of
hospital beds in other cities in
proportion to their population.
Health authorities are agreed
that the absolute minimum stand
ard of safety is 80 beds per
10000 of population. Washing
ton is below this minimum stand
ard; it has only 37.7 beds for.
each 10000 people, instead of
SO, or, as in many cities, con-
siderably more than so. This
condition is not safe.
If the curve of sickness should
rise in Washington-if, for ex-
ample, there should be an cpl
demic of influenza or infantile
paralysis-the hospitals would
be overwhelmed.
Even under present normal
conditions many are finding it
most difficult to obtain hospital
rooms unless they are able to
pay very high rates. The great
est shortage is for private rooms
at rates that people Of moderate
incomes can afford to pay.

welcome. They will come on
your errand; they will appeal

Open to All
Garfield's service is for ALL
for you. It is non-sectarian. It..
serves patients of large or

You may need the hospital at

But unless we have helped to q
establish or enlarge it, what
right have we to count upon its !
care. If, on the other hand, we
have contributed our share, then
we may justly feel entitled to
the resulting benefits. Garfield's
appeal is to all, for the good
of >all.
The only meaning that this
can have to you as an individual
is that the appeal of the hospital
is directly to you.
