MONTHLY REPORT.

The trustees of the Jasper County hospital met in regular monthly session Thursday evening. The financial report of the superintendent was carefully examined. It showed that there was a slight difference between the receipts and the expenditures. There was paid out: For supplies . . . . .. . . .. . .. $329.96 For salaries 630.18 Total expenditures .$960.14 Received from patients .... . $888.34 Receipts from X-ray 42.50 Total receipts $930.84 Deficit for the month. . . . . • .$ 29.30 The hospital is now well supplied with equipment and the expenses this year should he materially reduced. The buying of the O’Connor property, of a new sterilizer, an X-ray machine, the decorating of the walls and •the purchasing of considerable new furniture explains very largely the difference in receipts and expenditures for the year 1918. A detailed report of all expenditures of the hospital for the year 1918 will be given in the Republican in a later issue. Superintendent Mattie Hemiphrll and her assistants deserve the highest commendation for the splendid service they are rendering to the people of the county.' The hospital’s Ibest friends are those who have had an opportunity to know of just what the institution i is doing. Many expressions of the highest praise are heard from those who have been recipients of the kindly care and gentle administration. The board desires to publicly express its sincere appreciation of the .gift of $50.00 in money by Mrs. A. Hicks, of Remington. The gift is in itself a splendid one, but the spirit of the giver adds greatly to its value. Lowell has so well said, “He who gives himself with his alms feeds three, himself, his hungring neighbor and Me.”
