February.
for
The February number lias some
striking features. Dr. William Os.
ler, the famous physician, contrib
utes a splendid article on tubercu
losis, which is the first of an im
portant editorial series. Omaha,
seen through the same eyes that
criticised Cincinnati and Pittsburgh,
conies in for a stiring article which
is bonnd to make a sensation.
The February number is in the
main a love story number, leading
oft with the first part of "The
House of Healing," by Juliet Wil
bot Tompkins, a delightful and nat
ural serial story. Shorter fiction
comes from the pens cf Anne War
ner, Zona Gale, Fannie Heaslip
Lea, Owen Oliver and others, and
their charming romances are eu
riched by illustrations from well
known artists such as Arthur I.
Keller, James Montgomery Flagg
Florence Scovel Shmu, H. S. Pot
ter, George Gibbs, etc.
JJelighttul pages are given over
to two songs by Ward-Stephens,
and the most uniaue ideas for St-
Valentine's Day.
"China-Painting for Beginners,"
by Elizabeth Mackenzie, and
"Pulled Rugs," by Mabel Tuke
Priestman, are both practical arti
cles on two subjects of interest to
women who like to have their own
handiwork around the house.
The usual well-stocked depart
ments are more than ordinarily
with ideas fitted to winter house
keeping and winter play and win
ter lines af thought.
The cover, by Harrison Fisher,
is a pleasure in itself and dererves
a word of praise.
Keep The Money At Home.

There is more Catarrh in this sec
tion of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it a local dis
ease and prescribed local remedies
9 . . 1
ana uy constantly iauing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven
catarrn to be a constitutional dis
ease and therefore requires consti
tutional treatment. Hall's Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. T
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the
market. It is taken internally in
doses trora 10 drops to a teaspoon
lul. It acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system
They offer one hundred dollars for
any case it fails to cure. Send for
circulars and testimonials.

THE HOSPITAL.
Continued from page 11
who have been treated free, or
practically so. It in fair to assume
that (lie.se free patients were in the
ho.-pital an average length of time
which would amount to 1,501 days
at the average cost of $1.47 2-3 j er
day, or a total cost o. $7,216.47,
toward which the state conttibuted
$1,578.02, or $638.45 less than
what it cost the hospital to care for
these charity patients. This fact
illustrates very clearly, that the
Joseph Ratti hospital is appropria
ting what money it receives Irom
the state to the very purposes hod in
mind by the legislators when they
made the apprcp;iation.
Another illustration will 110 doubt
be
quite as interesting. A ward
patient is charged $1.00 a day or
$7.00 a week !or nursing, board,
medicines, etc., or $333 less than
actual cost, while a private ra-
ientat Sto.ooa week pays 33 cents
less per week than the cost, ai d up
on the highest paying patent at
12.00 a week there is a profit of
only $1.67 cents a week.
There are 15 beds in the institi
tion and since the hospital has been
receiving state aid 516 patients
lave been treated there.
We believe it is because of such
an admirable record that this hos
pital has won the hearts and the
purses of the charitably disposed
eople iu its patronizing territory.
MEDICAL REPORT.
The Board of Managers of The
oseph Ratti Hospital,
Bloomsburg, Pa.
Dear Sirs: We herewith hand
ou a detailed :epoit of the work
done at our 1 ttle hospital during
the year which closed December
31st., '09.
There were 230 cases treated dur
ing the year. Of this number 30
were what we have named as the
Out Patient Department. They
were operated upon and went home
the same day. Of the remaining
200, 54 were Medical and 146 were
Surgical cases.
Among the Medical cases there
were six deaths, two occurring
within a few minutes after admis
sion, and of the remaining four, two
were in th last stages of hopeless
chronic diseases, which leaves us a
fairly chargable death rate of about
three and a half per cent.
Among the Surgical cases there
were 6 deaths also, l wo were cas
es of necessarily fatal injury. The
others were very serious cases with
ittle hope of a permanent recoverv,
but are chargable to the mortality
01 the institution, which as you
will see was a little less tnau 3 per
cent.
Included among the various op
erations were 37 cases of appendi
citis, iu all stages, without a death,
two leg amputations, two amputa
tions of the arm, one above and
one below the elbow, both being ac
cident cases, one tubercular perito
nitis, seven gall-bladder cases, one
for stone in the bladder, a number
of hemonhoids, etc., etc.
The balance were largely made
up or uynecological cases ot vari
ous kinds, many of which were
among the most serious operations
done upon women.
We might add further that this
work was all done by the members
of the County Society, with the ex
ception of three cases. The sue
cess we have had is not alone due
to the men who have done the op
erations but to every member of
the staff and the outside men who
have assisted, as well as the very
efficient corps of nurses, who have
had the care of these cases, medica
as well as surgical, and who have
always been untiring in their efforts
to give them the best possible care

CAN SUE SUPERVISORS.
State Highway Commissioner Given
Interpretation of the Jones Law.
An opinion has been given to
State Highway Commissioner Jo
seph W. Hunter by Deputy Attor
ney General W. M. Ilargest in
which he holds that the former can
institute mandamus proceedings
against supervisors of second class
townships in the state who ignore
requests made under the law for
statements as to mileage of roads in
their districts. The highway com
missioner asked the legal depart
ment what recour e he had when
supervisors failed to obey the di
rection given to them under the
provision of the Jones "dirt road'
bill, passed last wiiuer, to file with
him reports of mileage. Mr. Har-
gest says the law is very plain and
that suits can ba started to compel
reports.. Hundreds ot supervisors
are delinquent, having ignored the
third notice given them.
FRANCE SUFFERS DISASTER.
While we in Columbia County
have been congratulating ourselves
that the January flood has subsided,
and that danger of property de
struction is past, those in other
parts of the world have not been
so fortunate.
Frat4ce is suffering from floods
which have exceeded all records
and which have attained to national
disaster. In almost every district
in the North, East and West of
France is flooded, and thousands
have been rendered homeless.
Paris itself is stricken. Facto
ries have been closed, sewers and
water mains have burst, and the
Seine is out of its banks. The
authorities are at a loss to know
what to do.
Baggage Insurance.
An innovation for railroad trav
elers in the form of baggage insur
ance is to be introduced by the Le
high Valley Railroad Co. Ar
rangements have already been made
to place the insurance tickets on
sale at the principal stations along
the line. A ticket bought for 25
cents insures the holders bagga;
for 55150 tor one week, covering
loss or damage by fire, water
lightning, theft or from any other
cause.
This insura nce protects the bag
gage not only while it is on the
trains or in the stations of the Le
high Valley, brt wherever it may
be within the period covered by the
policy. Passengers may buy as
many of these policies at one time
as they desire, up to a maximum
of ten, and may insure their b ig
gage for any period from one week
to six mouths.
The company has also arranged
to install in its waiting rooms slot
machines to s.'U accident insurance
tickets. A ten cent piece put into
the slot brings a $i,ooopoiicy, also
ca;l3 for $5 weekly indemnity ben
eht for ten weeks.
Ely's Chkam b.w.m bus been tried
and not found wmiting In thousand o
homes all over the country. It lias
won a place In the family medicine
closet among tlio reliable liouselioi
remedies, where It In kept at huud ft.

Huuilling. , It gives immediate relief
and a uuy 01 two's treutment will nut
