H. A. Moore, our butcher man, is

wagon and carries tbe tluest of meat.
In fact, it speaks for itself when you

We seem to be a little behind the
times of the European countries for
there they have their free hospitals
where the poor or laboring class ot
people can be taken uud cared for in
tho time of sickuess or accidents and
seeing that so many operations are
performed iu this part of the country
it seems to me we should have a free
hospital where these who have not the
money might be taken and cared for.
Then we would soon find out whether
every one who has a little paiu bad
what is commonly termed appendicit
is, therefore an operation must be
performed, and to the hospital tbey
are taken aud the knife put into oper
ation and charged from oue to three
hundred dollars. Why not take this
matter up or a tree hospital Men of
meaus no doubt would contribute
largely to such au institution. I hen
our churches could donate one Sun
day's collections every year. Tliis Is
dene in ('.upland and ttiey have free
I'ospitals all over tbe laud; that h, in
towns and riti s. Wish our newspa
per don uuuid take tho mat'er up.
