The Value of a Hospital To Country Communities.

Brook Reporter. The Rensselaer Republican published a cut of the new Jasper county hospital to 'be erected in Rensselaer at a cost of SIO,OOO. It is a nice looking building and we believe will pay for itself in the way of furnishing a place for the many cases that almost daily are taken to the large cities. There are many cases of sickness among those who are practically homeless but still able to pay their way who can be placed in this institution and receive excellent care. People are availing themselves, more and more each year, of the ex-, pert care of the hospital, instead of the often inefficient care given at home. There is hardly a coiflmunity but what has a trained nurse resident there, and we have come to realize that trained efficiency is better than kindly intentions.
