Boss of the Establishment
He Makes a Few Ob
ser vat ions on the Duties
of a Commuter's Wife.
BY AMEHE MAN.
In ,th,e beginning tho Wife of the Boes of
the KHtaJlhnient had not been enthusiastic
about their prospective home In the coun
try. But, so many of her friends had said:
"What! . Move to the country in the fall!
Why, who ever. heard of such a thing!'
So many others had exclaimed: "My dear.
have, you -ever encountered the servant
problem In a suburban town?" that she
waa now wildly eager to undertake her
new duties aa a commuter's wife.
All th Important details of their migra
tion had'-been arranged long since. That
la to say, all their acquaintances had been
notified and their advice asked and re
jected. There remained only to engage the
movers and to find a domestic pearl with
out price, at 13) or $25 a month. Mary hay
ing announced her engagement and her
Inability" to live so fur away from her
young man.
At least these were, the only remaining
difficulties so far as the Boss' wife hud
canvassed them. C ,
But the Boss, returning one evening,
brought a new problem a crltis, sharp, dif
ficult and defined aa any that ever arise
In married life. '
"There's one thing we will have to have
to make our new home complete," an
nounced the Boss over his after dinner
coffee.
"A lawn, mower?" guessed the lady.
"No," pot a lawn mower!" the Boss re
plied, lie Khowed just a little Irritation at
his wife's obtuseness In not divining the
first and most Immediate need of country j
life. .... j
"A tennis court?"
"Of course we'll have that and a furnace
and a kitchen and a back yard and ri cook.
I don't refer to necessaries," the Boxa an
swered disgustedly. "What else could I
mean 'but a dog?"
"Oh!" gurgled his wife delightedly, "how
perfectly lovely! Tve always wanted to
have a collie! What ahull we name him?"
And "tiR'n. with the disconcerting ten
dency to poetic quotation she often dis
played, she added:
" 'Tfs aweet to hear the watch dog'a
honest bark"
"Say!"" exclaimed the Boss, "try that on
the bulldog, not on me!"
"Bulldotr!" ejaculated the lady, "who
wanta a 'bulldog? Nasty, treacherous crea
tures. - Why, I'm afraid to pass one In the
street! But collies are the sweetest, most
affectionate, beautiful animals! Don't you
lust love them?"
"Yea," said the Boss shortly, "I don't!"
"Ohw, 'hy not?" . pleaded his wife, as
though the world's salvation depended upon
bis answoj-. V
"They're too snappy," her lord retorted
11th a finality that' boded ill for their
future possession of a Sollla dng.
"But I want a collier urged the lady.
"And (-want a bulldog!" the Boss replied.
"What doea It matter to you what kind

"Well, for one thing." the Boss answered,

A few hospitals have charity workers of
their own whose duty it is to look up the
financial status of poor .patients. Other
Institutions have used the Asxoclated
Charities and similar organizations for
this purpose. In this way they hope to
make It possible to give treatment to all
who are in need of It. tnder the old
methods the free wards often wero crowded
Dy those who ought to have been paid
patients, thus excluding many who had a
real right to the charity treatment.
Pome of tho progre.sntve hosnitals hnv
adopted the Idea of furnishing seml-
pnvate rooms, it Is declared that
auii oeiween me Tree ward and the
private room has been so great that there
seemed no way of providing for those who
object to treatment in the free wards and
yet have not the means to pay for a
private room. The semi-private room,
each accommodating from two to three
patients, afford the chief advantages of
private treatment, and at the same time
enable the hospitals to make mors rea
sonable charges. It Is said that the hos-
Pttal of the future will be equipped with
a I r
. v...,,H uc. iuci ior slimmer, just as
they are equipped with heating apparatus
ior winter. The present state of mechanl
cal refrigeration Is so advanced that there
is no question In the minds of refrigeratim
engineers that this can be done. The med
ib. iraiernity Deueves that hundreds of
deaths might have been prevented if the
unbearable heat of the summer months
could have been overcome. The fact that
tne government Is preparing to install an
air cooling plant In the capltol at Wash
ington shows that such an arrangement
'.a feasible.
It Is claimed that the little city of Roches
ter, Minn., has a hospital which draws
patienta from a larger section of country,
and which has been visited by more of the
world's famous surgeons, than any other
hospital in America. It Is the St. Mary's
hospital, founded by the mother superior
of St. Mary's Co.tvent as a' result of a
vision which she had on the night of a
treat tornado, August 21, 18S3. It is at this
hospital that the Doctors Mayo do the
work which has placed them in tie fore
most ranks of the leading surgeons of the
world.

crown for his services In making M'xUo
a part of the Spanish domain.
One of the newest movements In the
h.ipital world is th establishment of the
r.ullum Institute In New York. . The ener
gies of this hospital will be devoted to
tlie treatment and cure 'of enncer. This
Institute Is not a commercial one, its mem
bership b.in made up of the leading sur
geons i,f the country. 'It proposes to pro
line r radium In a New York factory, and
furnish it to physicians throughout the
country. It Is probable that hospitals for
tho treatment of cancer will be eMnbllshed
In New York and Chicago In connection
with the work of the Institute. Arrange
ments iitremty have been made for the
purchase of large quantities of pitchblende
and other mntetlais for the manufacture
of the precious material. As It costs ap
proximately IJ.TOO.OOO a pound, it Is safe to
say that not many pounds will be manu
factured In any one year. Recent develop
nients In medical science point to tho fart
that the radium cure will become the
world s one effective method of combating
one of the most terrible dixeases to which
human flesh is heir.
An Interesting case In which the rights
of a hospital will be determined by tiie
courts bn come up in New York. Not long
ago the authorities at Bellevue refused
to admit to the hospital an alleged 'am
bulance chaser," who sought to see a pa
tient who had been Injured in an accident.
Tho man to whom admittance was refused
instituted suit and Judge Erlanger of the
.ev Yolk supreme court decided that a
hospital employe has a right to give In
formation to a lawyer, and may even accept
pay therefor, without
,ni liable. The hoKDltul authorities ii.iv.
nounced their Intention of taking an appeal
from Justice Erlangtr's decision, as they
believe it adverse to the Interests of their
patient that ambulance chasers should bs
rceon;:ed by the hospital or by the law.
The physicians of the country have been
agitating the question of their being al
lowed to take a greater part in the train
ing of the nurses who are to be their
chief assistants. Not long ago Dr. Osier,
of "chloroforming-the-aged" fame, declared
that he regretted to see the trained nurse
supplanting the medical student In the af- .
fectlon of hospital trustees. With other
doctors, he took the view that the phy- '
siclan should have more volte In hospital
management and the training of nurses.
He aljo lamented the fact that nurses of
todajare too well educated In the theory
of medicine and not sufficiently In the
practice of nursing. He related how he had
been called In to see a case and had
humbly Inquired of the nurse what the
surgeon, whom he had not met, thought
of It. She Instantly replied that he thought
there were features suggestive of the In
tracanalicular myxoma. Dr. Osier said he
looked a little anxious and asked if ahe
happened to hear the surgeon say whether
he considered it of eplblastlc or mesoblastlc
origin. She replied without fllnchln that '
she thought he said it was mesoblastic.
The doctor did not think much of her
knowledge of medicine and less of her
recollection.
There are nearly 25,000 young women
studying to bs nurses. In approximatelj
1,000 schools In the United States. Thesf
schools are maintained In conjunction wltl.
something less than 2,000 hospitals. Thej
turn out annually 6,000 graduate nurses
It has been found that the average term
during which a graduate nurse devotei
herself to her profession Is about ten years
and. that only about 10 per cent of all
the nursing done outside of hospitals la
aone Dy women who have taken a nurse's
training course.
There has never been a time In the his
tory of the country when so great a pro
portion of sick people in the cities havt
gone to hospitals for treatment a. tnd.v
The present tendency In hospital practice
is to give patients all the comforts of home
ireaimeni, at the same time providing all
sanitary and other advantages which only
a modern hospital can affoid. The manu
facture of special hospital equipment hat
reached auch a state of perfection that
nowhere outside of the German hospitals,
reputed to be the beat equipped In the
world, can there be found such sstlsfactory
arrangements for the treatment of disease
as In the Important American Institutions.
