TOMORROW IS HOSPITAL DAY
' That w nation should observe Hospital Day is a
iribule to tin IviulcriK'ss njf the human heart, for in ob
m'vinjr that dav Imnianit.y seeks for a few hours nt least
the brothers aiirt sisters of the race who have met with
hard hick ami are confined to hospitals. Nothing can
mv,. r,i, nrnit- uleasiire than to irladden the lieart of a
not.r dial) who has been hed-ridden for a loiitf time; noth
ing can make the milk of human kindness sweeter than
toVesent flowers nnd a hind word with a smile to some
one who has known nothing, but the Hour walls of a hos
pital room or a ward.
Another feature which is of wide interest is that hos
pital workers, anticipating this occasion will Hike on new
energy nnd interest, for they will also know that their
work is not going by unheeded ami unappreciated by the
Wfurld in general.
La firande is fortunate that it has a well regulated
hospital in the (Irando JJoiil institution, while only 8
miles awav it has a large magnificent sanatorium where
the "hospital feature has served faithfully and well many
of our people. Until institutions are sources of pride in
this (vminunity and tomorrow is the day to show that
pride.
At the (irandlc Ifondc hospital the P. E. 0. ladies have
heeii designated as hostesses and during the afternoon
will receive the callers who wish to nw respect to the
day and the institution. At Hot hake the latch string is
out to all and: the day will be jrivtcn over to pumper fob-
servance as t lie nation Has intended ny designating such
an occasion. 1 ...

A Bypsy doesn't liku her hair
Peroxide makes it liifht and fair,
If you arc Rointf gray too quick
A little henna docs the trick;
if eyes are dull use belladonna,
Your, face is pale, put powder on 'er,
If freckles show just paint them undci
But if I'm peeved it is no wonder,
For paint and Powder all you will,

Oh, sure it is, but list' to me,
It is, but does not have to be,
With beauty doctors in the town.
Who'll gladly brinir that pug nose
down.
They'll rub it good and pull it hard,
And maybe they'll remove a yard,
They'll tell you when, you sleep at
night,
To wear a clothespin snujr and tight,
When they are through your pug will
look
Like noses in u picture book.
So pug no.-e maiden mourn no more,
Just hie thee to a beauty store.

Observing that a certain newspaper

one is moved to wonder why Congress
hhouldn'l distribute those documents
some spring instead of garden seeds.
May 12 is set apart throughout the
United States as Hospital Day. The
puipo-e of the day is to call attention
of the general public to the work o'
hospitals and the need of more.
Commenting on hospital conditions
in the Cnited States, the Literary
Digist says: "It is obvious that at
