Strong Tone

This situation was reflected in the
generally strong tone in the early
dealings, despite professional efforts
to extend Thursdays reaction.
General Motors sold down to
1929 off Il, but it's heaviness was
due to proft-taking on news Of dec
laration of a So extra dividend at
the meeting after Thursdays close.
Steel, Baldwin and other industrial
leaders were steady and Houston Oil
ran up to new high ground for the
year at 1854, gain of rs from
the previous close.

In 1913 and 1914 the American
College OF Surgeons placed the local
hospital in the C class. which meant
that 1t had an X-ray machine bu,
no trained person to run IT. 1t had
surgery but had no clinical or
pathological laboratory to diagnose
cases in advance or give valuable
information after an operation. In
! 1915 the hospital made an applica-
ton to be admitted into b class and
was refused. In 1917 another appli-
cation was made and the institution
entered the B class. In 1919 appli-
cation was made for admittance into
class A. The hospital did not have
enough scientific equipment and was
taking care OF 10 patients in an
! 81 bed hospital. The application was
refused.
Finely Got Rating.
! AS soon as the new hospital was
built the American College OF Sur
gcons voluntarily investigated and
raised the status to class A.
a year later the American Medical
Association placed the hospital on
its approved list. giving 1t a grade
| a rating. This means that the hos
pital now is approved by the leading
medical schools OF tho country and
for the pas. three years not an in
/ terne has entered the local hospital
who has not had full and thorough
medical education in one of the best
medical schools in existence.
| a statement which surprised DR..
Reeks' hearers was that it requires
1877 people to take care OF an aver
age OF 1855 patients. This means that
! it takes | lilo employees for every
, patient. In tho Hartford hospital
this ratio is l IA. while In many
New York hospitals the ratio is IL
employees 10 patient.
DR.. Reeks described in detail the
/ business department, in charge OF
William S. Cannon; the training
school department. supervisors,
teachers and pupils, and the house
keeping departments. which he said
requires housekeeper with special
training. The present housekeeper.
he said. had eight to nine years
training as hotel bousekeeper and
four years as a hospital housekeep-
er previous to coming here. The hos
pital has 80 maids and eight or nine
kitchen men.
He explained the work OF a die
tician. who among other things must
have five new menus every day. The
| hospital uses 1900 to 1900 pounds
Of meat every week: $50 dozen eggs
per week and two tubs OF butter In
the same period. Potatoes are served
for two meals a day and two BUSH
els are needed for each meal.
In the drug department, DR..
Reeks said, there are more prescrip-
tons filled every day than In any
drug store IN the city. The laundry
must do $500 pieces every day. and
because there is not enough closet
room to store these pieces. they
must go through and be en-
tirely completed In Ia hours. He

HEAD OF HOSPITAL
CRITIC|zES COUNCIL
Objects to City Employees Being
Treated Like Footballs

The civic clubs OF New Britain
should form combined organiza-
ton for the purpose of taking an
active interest In city finances, &C.
Cording to DR.. T. Eben Reeks, who
severely flayed the members of the
common council last evening for not
paying adequate salaries to city en-
ployes.
DR.. Reeks spoke to the Exchange
club. He paused a few minutes In
opening his address to remark that
he had depressed from his subject
and expressed his opinion that civic
clubs should take up the financial
situation of the city government.
When I see the chief OF de-
partment handled like football by
councilman:c committee. l feel
ashamed of the city" he said.
If some of these councilmen
should be called upon 10 do the
work others are expected to do. the
salary would be tripled. From time
to time the salary question comes
up and is made political foot
ball"
The physician added that when
worthy servants OF the city seek In
creases in salary which are their
due, their names and desires should
rot be banded about the city like
q football
Continuing his address, DR.. Reeks
said: THE public has a right to
expect every institution to be good
If the city suddenly found itself shut
OFF from electricity, gas and tele-
phone service it would be seriously
handicapped and there would be a
tremendous interruption OF business
but that would be all. II it be-
came necessary to close the police
and fire departments and the hos
pital. the situation would become
more serious That superficial VEN
eer Of civilization would be broken
down by the lawless element" he
said I'VE would live in continual
fear of fires. and what would hap
pen to emergency cases demanding
immediate care in the hospitals l
do not know"
Traces History Of Nursing
The speaker traced the history OF
hospitals and the development of
the practice of medicine from the
times of the ancient Greeks. He
said nursing first was undertaken
by religious people who wanted to
do some good. A hundred years
ago 1t was considered disgrace to
go to a hospital. while the modern
hospital and modern scientific medi-
cine is only 70 years old, he ex-

planned.
| He explained the scientific devel-
opments which have advanced medi-
cine during the past 20 years and
said hospitals and nursing schools
| have been required by necessity to
keep pace with them.
He said there are two classes of
| hospitals. One is the institution
magnificently built. but containing
no modern scientific apparatus for
| scientific treatment. This is called
the boarding house type of hospital.
! The other is modern scientific hos
| pital.
Started During Spanish War
New Britain had $4,000 people be-
fore it had hospital. and then a
temporary hospital was opened to
give treatment for typhoid fever
cases coming back from the Spanish
war. This was in 1898. In 1899
public spirited men got together and
made the hospital permanent in
stitution. The first year it had ia
| patients. Now 1t has one and one
half times that many in one day.
! For 10 to ! years the New Britain
General hospital was boarding
house type OF hospital and contri-
huted nothing toward the advance
ment of medicine in the community
1t was not equipped with scientific
paraphernalia. In 1914 the board
Of directors reorsanized and from
that time until 1917 ~pent thousands
of dollars for scientific apparatus.
During this period the institution
added a bacteriologist and roentgen-
ologist Physicians found it a great
er aid to their work and more pa
tients were sent in. With capacity
for 81 beds. the hospital soon was
averaging 1oS patients day.
Then came the drive for a new
hospital and new nurses home. Now
the institution has a capacity of 1870
patients. The old hospital was dis
mantled and turned into depart
ment for enlarged clinical. patholo-
gical and X-ray laboratories. From
that time the effect on the medical
profession was most marked, DR..
Reeks said.
Get Service At Home
He pointed out that many physi-
clans are using the scientific facili-
ties OF the hospital Laboratories to
further their own studies, and that
these facilities have so greatly aided
men in making special studies Of
certain types Of cases that it no
longer Is necessary for New Brit
ain people to so out Of the city for
the services Of specialists.
DR.. Reeks explained that the
American college OF surgeons, found
ed by the Rockefeller institute to in
vestigate and rate medical schools
and later to investigate hospitals has
given the New Britain General hos
pital a first class rating. This means
that the best physicians and sur
geons In the country have decided
after a thorough Investigation that
the hospital now is thoroughly
equipped with scientific apparatus
modern training school. and the
highest type of internship.

BIG S0UTHSIDE SPUD;
WHO HAS BIGGER One?

This was a growing season in
Montana and produced from a fair
to a bumper crop of almost every
thing grown here. But of course
Some things grew better than
others, and among the best are
wheat and potatoes. 1t may never
be known who raised the best
wheat in the Wolf Point area this
season, there is so much of 1t
and it is all so good.
The biggest spud is not so hard
to decide. OF course the editor is
too much of a farmer not to know
that the ere size does not make
commercial quality, in fact, counts
adversely. But size does indicate
soil fertility and soil adapted to
potato culture. Besides that, big
potatoes, like big pumpkins, big
fish and big babies, always have
excited interest and probably al
ways will.
Some mighty fine samples of po-
tatoes, including some extra big
ones, have been brought to The
Herald Office recently by Charles
Stille, the uncrowned king of po-
tato farmers, VIM. Maier, Mrs.
Frank Steele and possibly others,
but so far the biggest spud was
brought in by Martin Beck of the
Vida country. 1t is a Bliss Tri-
umph of a build characteristic of
that variety and tips the scale at
2 pounds and 6 ounces.
Has anyone a bigger? To the
person who brings to The Herald
office before November 1st the
heaviest potato grown within 40
miles (air line) of Wolf Point, we
will give one years subscription
to The Herald. To the person
bringing the second largest, six
months subscription. Come on,
you spud farmers, the least you
will get is your name in the paper.
