Up-tO-date Hospital

Up-tO-Uate HOSpItdi
The new institution is to be an
up-to-date general hospital for sur
gerry, maternity and medical cas-
es. 1t will not be and cannot be
used for tuberculosis and similar
communicable diseases. There will
be some charity cases, necessarily,
but it will not be a hospital for
indigentS.
The building is to be in the form
of a cross, with all patient bed
rooms located on the main floor,
and all of them on the south and
western sides of the building, so
that they will receive the maxi
mum amount of sunlight. The
working quarter of the hospital,
entrances and drive-wayS and the
parking areas will be on the other
side, keeping disturbing noise to
the minimum. Bedrooms will all be
large enough to accommodate two
beds, and connecting toilets will be
placed between each two rooms
This not only provides greater pat
lent privacy, but is much more
convenient and time-saving for the
nurses.
On the main floor will be two
operating rooms, the maternity
and nursery departments, patient

rooms and the kitchen. Exits will
be placed at the end of each wing
with ramps to ground level. This
arrangement will eliminate elva-
tor congestion, for both food hand
ling and patient transportation.
Ground Floor Plan
The ground, or lower floor, will
not be a basement, but will be al
most entirely above grade. 1t will
have plenty of large windows for
sunlight and air. Here will be lab
oratory facilities, including x-ray,
pathology, metabolsm, electro
cardiagraph, thereapy and other
facilities.
On this floor will also be clin-
ical and examination rooms for
doctors, and out-patients who
come to the hospital for treatment
only.
Also on the lower floor will be
boiler rooms, laundry and storage
and possibly a wing for the county
health department. Here, too, will
be generous space for volunteer
service work, such as sewing anc
mending. In some communities, ir
addition to those activities, canning
and other food preserving work, is
done by volunteers, such as a Lad
les Hospital Guild, which helps
greatly in reducing hospital oper-
ating expenses.
Board Personnel
Members of the Board, who
serve without pay and solely for
the public good are: Sturgis H.
Cheney, Redwood; DR.. B. O. Skin
ner, Millcreek township; Paul G.
Williams, Marysville, and John G
Wolff, Union township.
Officers of the Hospital assoc
iation, volunteer group, charter
ed as non-profit corporation
which is sponsoring the campaign
are Col. Dana w. Morey, presi-
dent; John B. Gault, vice-preSi-
dent; Clarence A. Hopes, secre-
tary, and Charles B. Mills, treas
urer.

ment will be provided free of
charge while the issues of the cur
rent political campaign will be
discussed by very capable young
orator
The first feature is in the hands
of the Columbus Republican Glee

old barbershop harmony to carry
on the tradition of the founders.
The first group sang at the inaug-
GRAFTON of General Grants second
term.
The club has performed at ev-
cry Republican presidential inaug-
GRAFTON since. Confidentially, they
are getting in good voice now for
1913. They will sing some old tim
ers tonight, perhaps few class
ical numbers and a few parodies.
Their director is c. p. Lauder
baugh, Franklin county commiss-
ioner, man who would rather
sing than eat. But to make doubly
sure, the men will have a light
lunch at Buffers Grill after the
rally, through the courtesy of the
Union county organization.
The speaker tonight will be At
torney Earl Morris, of Columbus,
ex-Captain, moderator of the Col

AIR MAIL WEEK
TOBE HELD

Business firms re planning
special programs to stimulate vol
ume during national Air Mail week
Oct. 27, to Nov. 2, Postmaster Fl.
C. Doellinger declared today.
Inauguration of the new 5 cent
United States flag rate Oct. Linn
mediately brought a sharp rise in
air mail volume, Postmaster Doel-
linger said. Rapid air mail service,
offered for the first time at a low
postal rate, should stimulate com
merce, business leaders here be-
lieve. For that reason, they are
inaugurating large air-maillings
during the nation wide air mail
promotion week.
1--WE have long advocated lower
air mail rates, said William S.
Otte, president of the Marys-
vile Business Mems association.
believing that rapid service be-
tween customers and manufactur-
ers and distributors would foster
commerce.
The Post Office Department
has taken a leaf from the book of
American history, reducing the
air-mail rate from s cents to 5
cents an ounce and simultaneously
offering better and faster service.
The Post Office has borrowed the
| proven principle that by getting
more customers for a good product
at reduced cost the unit cost of
delivery is cut. A lower price re
quires one thing to succeed larger
volume.
Business men want to have the
five-cent rate continued. A policy
of enlightened self-interest sug-
gests that all of us promote air
mail during this period when the
new low rate is being tested.
Meanwhile, Postmaster Doell-
niger reported, air mail letters are
being received at the post office
with incorrect postage affixed
The five-cent rate applies any
where the American flag flies, in
cluding all United States possess
ions. 1t is also applicable to the
armed forces abroad, and to Can
ada and Mexico.

CHRISTMAS
SEAL PICTURED

A cheerful lamplighter, symbol
izing the emergence of fresh hope
after the darkness of the past
years, is featured on the 1916

ceived at headquarters of the Un-
ion county tuberculosis and
Health association, according to
Ethel Pfarr, executive secretary.
The 10th annual Christmas seal
sale, of which Mrs. Harlow s.. ~eI
is county chairman, to raise FUNDS
for the control of tuberculosis, will
be conducted throughout the nat
ion from Nov. 25 to Christmas. OF
the money raised, 80 per cent will
be used in the county, Is per cent
for statewide campaigns against
tuberculosis. The remaining five
per cent will be forwarded to the
National tuberculosis association
to support services performed on
a national level to further tuber-
culoSis control.
Christmas seals were first sold
in this country in 1907 when Miss
Emily Bissell, of Wilmington, Del,
adopting an idea from Denmark,
promoted a seal sale for the ben
eft of patients in small tuber-
culosis hospital near Wilmington
That first seal sale was so success
ul that the following year it was
conducted on a national scale to
raise funds for tuberculosis con
troll and has been nationwide ever
since then.

Local Post Office
Workers Take Oath
Against Striking

Employees of the local post office
have taken an oath that they will not
strike against the government. This
new oath is required by recent fed
eral order and is required of all feder-
al workers. They will get no pay I'M
til they take it.
The obligation to take the oath was
included in the Appropriations bill
which was not passed until last week.
Delay in passing the bill had held up
pay checks of post office workers
the nation over.
Checks were further held up until
the workers took the prescribed oath
to the effect that they would not
strike against the government or
JOIN any group or organization that
asserts the right to strike.
Postal employees who are on sick
leave or vacation will not receive
checks by mail as was customary in
the past. They must take the oath
first.

Epidemics were reported at Min
neapolis; in Pulaski county, Arkan-
sas, and in Jones, Forrest and

In Ohio, the state health director
predicted an epidemic year "unless
there is sharp drop within the next
10 days"
Many states throughout the south,
west and middlewest reported the
number of polio cases for the year al
ready higher than last years totals.
New England and Middle Atlantic
states appeared only slightly affected.
Precautions taken included cancel
lation of some boys and girls conven-
tons in Louisiana and Mississippi and
closing of some swimming pools in
Nebraska state parks. Ohio's health
director told parents to keep children
away from crowds, allow them plenty
of rest and prevent over-exercise.

Three-Man Strike
Halts Operations
OF 4 Companies

A three-man strike on the Jen-
nings Railroad in Garrett county, has
practically halted operations of the
Union Fire Brick Company, the
Burnwell Coal Company, Petit Lum-
Der Company, Grantsville Coal Com
pany and several small firms, it was
disclosed.
The three strikers, Harry Hoover,
Grantsville, engineer; Bruce Yommer,
conductor, also of Grantsville; and
"Clucker" Wiley, fireman, of Jen-
nings, all employees of John Hersker
who owns the railroad, have stopped
work, pending a wage increase.
Strike Ended
The strike was ended Wednesday,
according to Charles S. Zeller, office
manager of the Burnwell Coal Com
pany. He said the men made the usu-
al run to Worth, Pa, yesterday, the
train carrying eight coal cars which
had been loaded last Friday.
Zeller said he knew nothing of the
settlement terms. He said the Burn
well coal company had resumed oper-
ations and that the Union Fire Brick
company and the Petit Lumber COM
pany also were working again.
The three men operate the one
engine train on the shortline which
connects with the P:A' timore and Ohio
at Worth, Pa, near West Salisbury,
Pa. They asked for wage increase
last Thursday, and when it was not
granted, refused to operate their
train. The, railroad, and mines and
brick yards along the IA miles of
track from Jennings to Worth, have
also been on curtailed production
basis since that time
Officials say about $50 or more
men, variously employed in industries
along the line, will be idle this week,
if the railroad does not operate.
Built about so years ago to serve
the old jennings saw mill, the road
has been used in recent years to move
coal cars and loads of brick and lum-
Der from the brick yards and saw
mills to the Baltimore and Ohio for
transportation throughout the coun-
try. Coal operators report they have
no empty cars, and cars on their sid
ings have been loaded. Unless they
are moved and empties brought in,
the mines must remain idle.
Much of the brick and lumber
manufactured in and around Jen-
nings is moved over the short-line,
and these plants, while running on a
small scale, may be forced to shut
down unless the one-engine railroad
strike is settled, officials say.
