Especial to the Kennebec JournaD
Winthrop, Me-, June 2-Ann Gale,
who has passed a number Of years in
caring for Winthrop's sick in their
homes, who perhaps has attended
more arrivals into the world and has
bound up more wounds and sat by
more sick beds than any other one
woman in this village, has now a
hospital Of her own, the Pinkham
property, so-called. which she has
named the Winthrop Community
Hospital and which the village sup
ports loyalty. 1t is a large. roomy
house and it has been renovated and
remodelled enough. to make it a
healthful and delightful place in
which to be sick, if sick one must
be. The spacious piazzas, the charm
ing reception and living rooms. the
highly efficient and well appointed
operating room, private rooms and
ward rooms, all are fresh and clean
and most adequate. Winthrop is
justly proud of their Community
Hospital and one evening last week.
a representative group of citizens
met and voiced their support of the
enterprise. A free bed will soon be
supplied at the hospital from a fund
which will be raised by events in the
social circles OF the town.
The Pinkham house Is about 40
years old, having been built by the
Pinkham family. 1t is large, ramb-
ling edif1ce and was built for family
comfort. A very wide piazza extends
two sides Of the house and affords
excellent opportunity for GONZALES
cents and invalids. with its fine view
Of the street and it's airy advantages.
The "office" or reception room is
a large room, occupying one corner
of the main house, down stairs. 1t is
we'll appointed, restful and cool in
summer. The big bay window looks
out onto one street. the house being

room, finished in shades of dull yell
low and most charming and inviting.
But the aspect Of the hospital finds
expression in the operating room on
the second floor. 1t is on the north
side Of the house and thus is afforded
the truest and the strongest light of
the day, available. The operating
room is done in pure white. with all
white equipment, adequate in every
detail for tho present need. The
Opaque windows are aided in light
giving by we'll proportional sky
light.
The bath room is big and contains
the newest in bathroom outfittings.
This room. likewise. is done in pure
white and is cleanliness personified.
Two private rooms and ward

to admit patients to her home to be
treated by their own physicians.

The cruising taxi is "a typically

lin the shortest possible time applied
to a country where great cities are
non existent, small cities few and far
between, railroads largely limited to
transcontinental main lines, roads still

enough throughout the West, and
there are few localities that could not

their existence to their position as dis
