Hospital Day
(f. Contributed EditoriaD

There is no institution in any
 community of more vital impor. tance to the public than a good
 hospital; an obvious fact but one
 we are prone to overlook. As
 topic of conversation health is popular enough but it usually en- gages our sincere attention only
 when we realize the danger of losing it. So, too, we accept our hospitals with more or less indif. | ference until an emergency forces us or our friends into them. Yet hospitals have become neces- sary part modern life to such an extent that scarcely a community of a thousand souls but boasts one or more institutions devoted to the care of it's i'll and injured. We exhibit these to our visitors in
 pride, then promptly forget them
 until disaster overtakes us and we seek refuge within their hos pitable walls; resentful, perhaps, as an enforced guest and appre- hensive of our strange surround ings. Yet hospitals do exemplify to the fullest extent what the 1 derivation of the word implies:
 hospitality, which is nowhere more in evidence. Everyone is wei come, or at least is made to feel
 welcome in circumstances such as to make welcome elsewhere
 questionable. From the unman. lageable infant to abandoned old lage, with all the intervening af | flictions of the body and vexa tions of the spirit to which hu
 man flesh is heir, the hospital throws wide its doors and bids us enter with a smile of welcome and a promise of relief, if such be possible. No illness is too des
 perate to be greeted hopefully no injury too severe for the min
 is tration of skilled hands eager to repair the mischief; no mind toe warped by the stress of life to be offered the comfort of sympathy and the support of understanding
 And this is not measured in dol.
 lars and cents. Regardless Of
 what we may pay for such serv. ices, every hospital is and must
 be a charity. Material wants may
 be purchased, personal service is
 to be hired but the intangibles-a necessary part of every hospital
 which the i'll and injured require almost above all else, are given freely and cannot be bought.
 !, As we sometimes fail to appre ciate the value of our hospitals so, too, the hospital sometimes !, fails to sense the importance oi closer relationship with the pub
 lie. We should be told something about the indispensable service il offers us "A hours every day; our : minds should be disabused of the
 mystery and dread which have
 shrouded it through generations
 of ignorance. We should be re assured of it's beneficience. We
 should know more of the happi
 hess is dispenses, of the lives il saves, of the health it restores, of it's triumphs over great odds, oi
 it's last stand against defeat when all other resources have failed : And this is the purpose of Hos pital Day, that we may learn al first hand by visiting it with
 minds unclouded by disease, fear anxiety, pain and despair what il
 has to offer us in times of trouble

craft without discrimination among
nationalities.

.MARKET REPORT
DUE SOON

The parks and Fairgrounds sub
committee of the House District
Committee. which has been studying
relocation of the farmers produce
market for the past two weeks, is
expected to present its report to
the District Committee tomorrow.
A meeting of the subcommittee
probably will be held today to draft
the report, which viii be based on
testimony presented at the public
hearings which were concluded last
night.
1t is considered quite likely that
the subcommittee will be able to
reach no agreement and will have
to leave the decision up to the full
committee.
Completion of the work on the
farmers market question, however,
will allow Representative Ernest w.
Gibson, OF Vermont, chairman Of
the subcommittee, to resume work
on the subcommittee appointed TO
| investigate the District government,
of which he is also chairman.

busy again on the investigation Of
the District government.
The next few meetings OF the Glib
son subcommittee will be devoted
to a study of the Bureau of Eff.

cations. The District Commission

The subcommittee is not expected
to undertake new Investigations un-
til it has disposed of the old ones.
Meanwhile Chairman Gibson is max
ing his plans for the new probe and

Doctor Choice

When physicians pronounce cascara
the PERFECT laxative why expert

is the bark of tree. A natural
and normal stimulus to the bowels.
The Indians, who used to chew
this bark, had no word in their
language that meant Constipation
Perfect regularity is possible to-
day, and to all of US. We have
cascara in ideal form; the very de-

Your first cascaret will demon.
strate how THOROUGH this gentle
laxative is, after all. Your next
surprise will be the length OF tirn@
before you need another. Event
ually, you'n see that cascarfEng
tends to make the bowels move
thereafter OF their own accord!
A modern drug store must stock
many laxatives, but for your own
good the druggist would rather have
you ask for the inexpensive little
box Of cascarets than anything else.

Douglas daily dispatch., 1928-03-06
ARIZONA STATE FAIR

The oath annual Arizona state fair
will be held at Phoenix November II
to 18, 1928 This announcement was
found printed in big letters on one
side of a postal card received by
the Dispatch yesterday from ]. P.
Dillon, secretary OF the State Fair
association.
The announcement is coming OUT
early and indicates an activity on
the part OF the fair officials toward
making the fair bigger this year
than in the past. Perhaps the Dis
patch has received an early notice
because last year the agricultural
exhibit sent to the state fair from
Douglas and this part OF Cochise
county created a sensation in Phoenix
and impressed the fair authorities
with the idea that Douglas might
come to pe competitor Tor many
prizes in the agricultural and horti-
cultural sections of the fair.
