Early Hospitals Were
Refugees for Pilgrims

The word hospital is from the Latin.
"hospes, a guest. From the same
Source comes host, one who entertains:
hospitality. the entertainment given;
and hospitaller, the keeper Of the
house. The hospital of the Middle
ages was originally an inn or house
Of entertainment for pilgrims. In proc
ess of time these places of entertain
ment We're resorted to by the sick and
infirm only, and the house of enter
falnment became an asylum for the
sick and wounded.
The name hospitallers was first ap-
piled to those whose duty it was to
provide "hospitium,' lodging and en-
tertainment for pilgrims. The most
noted institution of the kind during
the Middle ages was at Jerusalem.
which gave its name to an order called
the Knights Hospitallers. This order
was also called Knights of st. John at
Jerusalem. Afterward they were
styled the Knights of Rhodes. and then
Knights of Malta, because the islands
OF Rhodes and Malta were conferred
upon them hy different mOnarchs.

Eorly Days of the Fork

apers are interesting just at this
time especially to antique collections

The extreme simplicity of the de-

Seventeenth century describe with
much curiosity the fashion of using a

To Freshen Wall Paper

about a quart of fiat ivory paint such
as is used for interiors, and with a

may be done in the original color of
The paper or in II harmOnizing tone.
In the former case the use of the

No one is more annoyed than the

this We have to say that the Beacon

Jack Sig.er of Red Wing 10 paint it.
It's peach. Then the sign had to he
properly installed and we employed
Fritz Miller as chief consulting en-
gineer and master of ceremonies Some
thought a by 6 post was the thing.
while others thought a by would
do. Then q windy observer mentioned
gas pipe. We decided on gas pipe as
more suitable for printing office The
sign was therefore firmly bolted on a
gas pipe. And there she shines in all
her pristine glory.
After installation ceremonies were
over we sought the solitude of our
sanctum to ponder over the compile
ton of this dream Of years, well
pleased with the plaudits of all pro-
gressive citizens. While there we
heard plaintive note emanating from
that gas pipe standard or post and we
wondered if it had been transformed
into an Aeolian harp. Finally it
sounded like woodpcckers pecking for
WORMS. We picked up the shotgun
which we kept for the benefit cf delln-
quent subscribers, went out and
watched.
To our amaZement we saw members
of the proletariat as they passed by
deliberately knocking their pipes
against the gas-pipe standard to clear
their pipes of ashes so that they could
load up again. Wher men will do the
