"Where It Is
'. . '
How rarelr Indeed does one think
of a Hospital with anything akin to
pleasure! Eren the very thought is
sufficient to conjure up In the Im
agination the sensation of pain and
suffering. And' so, we are wont to
look upon the Hospital with aversion
and loathing. But this hospital, the
new Presbyterian Medical Hospital,
ah.! that Is different! Yes, Indeed,
very different, radically so, In fact
so very different that one catches
himself wishing he were 111 that he
might .become a patient and . enjoy
the advantages of this new place
which, strangely enough, Is .called a
Hospital And be It understood that
"enjoy" Is the proper word, entirely
fitting In describing the situation.
Just how proper the word "enjoy"
is when applied to this new Presby
terian Medical Hospital could not be
fully appreciated unless you, your
self, visit this wonderful place and
experience the sensations which be
fall one as he enters the institution.
Perhaps you were one of the many
hundreds who attended the formal
opening which took place last
Wednesday afternoon and evening.
If not, then you will surely enjoy
reading of the sensation of one who
did attend. But, listen, don't wait
until you become ill. but (o rUht
now for a tour of inspection of this
wondrous plaoe, and then if you
should become sick your sufferings
cannot hold out such terrors for you,
because you will know that there are
occasions where sickness can be
made a pleasure, yes, very, very
pleasant.
But, to descend from the ethereal
realms of fancy to the material dis
cussion of fact, be it known that this
new Hospital, which holds no terrors
for the unfortunate, is located at the
corner of Farnanx and Thirty-fourth
streets, where the buildings and
beautiful grounds extend more than
a full block. It is what has been
known as the old Turner residence,
which has been purchased by Mr.
Robert McClelland, who also owns
the old Presbyterian Hospital at
1240 Booth Tenth street. Mr. Mc
Clelland has had years and years oi
experience in the hospital field and
this together with the fact that he Is
a progressive man of esthetic taste
and fine Judgment led him to con
ceive the new hospital. His aim has
been to 'create a Hospital so differ
ent from the old, cold, formidable
white enamel and glass hospital, so
emphatically different that it would
appeal to the senses rather than to
repel. His ambition has been to
THE NEW PRESBYTERIAN MEDICAL HOSPITAL
Hospital Where-
Almost a Pleasure
build a Hospital so pleasant, so com
fortable, so quiet, homelike, and en
ticingly delightful that patients
would come In joy rather than In
sorrow. And has he succeeded, has
be attained his ambitions? Well
but wait, read of the sensations of
one who visited the New Hospital,
and then you'll know. Come, we'll
make this trip together; we'll go
through this pretty place.
To begin with, we don't enter
from Far nam street as of old. No,
the main entrance has been changed
around to the Thirty-fourth street
side for, although the building Is
ever so far back from the street. Mr.
McClelland wished no direct noise
coming In from the busy Farnam
thoroughfare. Bo we enter from the
Thirty-fourth street side, up a bright,
new concrete walk we go, approach
ing an elaborate new entrance,
broad steps with pillars and shrub
bery on either side. We approach a
broad. Inviting door and lift the old
fashioned Colonial knocker, but
bareiy have we tapped before an at
tendant swings wide the door and we
are bidden to enter. Once Inside we
find ourselves In a richly paneled
and elaborately furnished reception
hall. My, how rich the furnishings,
how subdued the lights with their
mellow glow, how quiet and restful!
But on we go into the spacious wait
ing room which, though formal, Is
finished In keeping with the recep
tion hall. And soon we are to meet
the creator of it all. Here he
comes, Mr. McClelland, an elderly,
quiet, kindly man who gives us a
sincere welcome. Would he show us
about the New Hospital T Oh, yes.
Indeed, be pleased to. And so the
tour begins.
First we retrace onr steps through
the reception hall and enter the cen
tral corridor where there Is a cute,
little office where an attendant an
swers softly tlnkllnc signal bells. But
we don't stop hsrs; we proceed down
the broad corridor for a peep Into
some of the roams waiting to receive
patients. And as we walk along our
feet sink deeply Into rich rugs and
nothing can be beard save the soul
stlrrlng tones of a chime clock re
cording the passage of tlma What
care we for the hour, we are Intent
upon looking Into the guest rooms
with their beautiful rugs and drap
eries, the Inviting beds with their
soft mattresses which look to be
two feet thick, the soft tints to
the walls, the restful lights, the
convenient lava'torlta. and every
thing. Boon we come to the end of
the corridor where we find a "sta
tion" with a trim, little nurse In
charge of a desk, and where little
electric lights flash out when a pa
tient wants for something. And the
little nurse flits away as easily and
quietly as If she were on wings, and
certain It is that she Is an angel of
mercy. Just now she Is guided by
another little light which has ap
peared over the door leading Into one
of the rooms. Through this door
the nurse disappears and in a mo
ment the little door light goes dark,
Indicating that the patient Is receiv
ing the assistance for which he
asked. We must go on.
We come to an elevator. No need
to wait for an attendant; this Is au
automatic electric elevator which
runs Itself according as we dlreot It.
We enter, close the door, push a but
ton, and the machine does our bid
ding carefully lifting us to a higher
floor. And so we go from one floor
to another, and from room to room.
We find broad corridors on erery
floor, so broad that big, roomy, rest
ful chairs, and soft lounges may be
placed here and there. And the
rooms, goodness how big, and light,
and airy every room has outside
windows to admit real sunshine. We
step to a window and peer through
the rich draperies and behold a de
lightful view of spacious lawn,
grass covered, shrubbery and tree
dotted. And so It Is everywhere,
every room hss an outside view, and
Inside the fittings and furnishings
are fit for any King. There are ex
pensive chandeliers of richly finished
brass wrought into intricate, artistic
deetens. The furniture, the wood
work, everything is of the best and
most pleasing. For convenience
there are baths connecting, fitted
with built-in tubs, and pedestal wash
stands with hot and cold running
water.
On we o, now, to see the sun par-
lor and the open air court on the
roof. Here in the sun parlor, en
closed on three sides with broad
glass windows we find very pleasant
surroundings. There Is a piano with
niuslo handy, and there Is a small li
brary with books If we would read
Instead of play. There are comfort
able wicker chairs with many cush
ions, which may be drawn up in front
of a cosys open fireplace on wintry
days. The floor Is covered by grass
rugs which emit a pleasant odor of
grassy fields. If we choose to get
really out doors all we need do la
step through one pf the many French
Aeors aad we find ourselves la an
to Be III
open-air court from which we may
look for miles and miles to the east
or to the north. We see the central
part of the city with Its ever present
cloud of dust and smoke occasioned
by the busy business turmoil. And
to the north the clear view of hills
upon hills as they gradually recede
iuto the hasy blue of distant miles.
However, we can't tarry here at
long as we might wish. We b a vent
seen the basement yet, nor the dor
mitory of the nurses. Down we go,
this time by way of the broad, deeply
carpeted stairways. Boon we are far
below. We see the sanitary kitchen
where expert attendants can prepare
foods sufficient to entice the most
wary appetite. Then there are com
fortable quarters for the servants,
dining rooms, and In another section
the baths of various kinds.
Then we leave the main building
and repair to the nurses' dormitory.
BJven here the expenstveness of the
furnishings and fitting Is surprising.
Nothing Is left undone to Insure the
comfort and convenience ef the
nurses. There's a reading and rauale
room, bed rooms with big, roomy
closets, bath rooms, and lavatories.
And now, our trip of Inspection be
ing at last over, we return to the re
ception hall by way ef the main cor
ridor, surprised at the vastnees of It
all because Mr. McClelland has added
much to the old Turner residence,
more than doubling the space by a
large addition, and delighted witlt
the sensation of rich splendor for the
reason that nothing has been spared
to make this Hospital one of luxuri
ous surroundings.
And with It all we are surprised
to learn that the treatment Is no
more expensive here than at an or
dinary hospital. In fact. It costs
muoh less thsn it does to live at a
first class hotel.
So, considering the richness of it,
the pleasure, the calm, quiet, home
like surroundings can you wonder
that sickness here could hold no ter
rors for anyoneT Can you not agree
that here illness might be really
pleasant?
Mr. McClelland states that he wtU
continue to operste the old Presby
terian Hospital In eon Jo notion with
the New Hospital, that surgical cases,
and emergency accident rases will be
treated at the Old Hospital, and that
the New Presbyterian Hospital will
be devoted exclusively to providing a
pleasant, restful, home-like place for
medical and convalescent case.

To the Memory of J, O. Kaataaaa.
At no time did Comrade J. O. FXatman
present the appearance of a man physi
cally strong. On the last Bunday of his
life, but one. he walked to the First
Methodist church, where he loved to go.
He left no farewell word nor any special
dying testimony. Why should he! The
testimony he did leave was a Ufa given
to the dear fcavlor and Master's work.
He la gone from us. but In memory he
Is with ua now. The sound of his voloe
la stilled, the vanished handclasp not

he Is not lost to us. lie waa cental as

laok of courage In the performance of
duty he never exhibited as a Christian
and loyal soldier In defense of Old Qlory,
and In this flag ha loved and honored,
. he was wrapped when he waa laid away.
I Soldier! Calm be thy rest May thy
slumber be sweat!
; No longer the panoplied foe shalt thou
I meet;
I The strife Is now over, the victories
I ail won;
. The deeds are on record, thy duties
I dene.
Sweet type of our trust In the true and

Who were young and atrong In sixty-two.

Tie little green tents are built of sod
They ar not long, they are not broad
And the sod is part of the land they
