The members of the medical profession pro-fession in Ogden have subscribed $V 000 for the purpose of equipping the operating department. Less than six months from the time Mrs. Thomas D. Dee lifted the first spadeful of earth In the formality of breaking ground Tor the Thomas D. Dee Memorial hospital, the beautiful building- was formally presented to the city of Ogden and the completion of this "hospital marks one of the most important steps in the advancement of the city. It was on July 10, 1909, that ground was broken for the hospital and its formal presentation took place with auspicious ceremonies last Thursday afternoon. The cost of the building proper was 100,000, while the furnishings fur-nishings represent an additional expenditure ex-penditure of ?15,000. With the present arrangement the hospital will easily accommodate almost al-most seventy patients, while with little lit-tle difficulty 100 patients could be comfortably accommodated. Every room Is spacious, while the wards are of sufficient size to accommodate almost al-most twice the number of beds which they now contain In the completion of the Memorial hospital there appears in this city another an-other monument to the skill of Architect Arch-itect Leslie S. Hodgson, who planned the structure. Its arrangement In general gen-eral 'and the careful consideration which has been given to the most unimportant un-important detail of construction, is a lasting commendation to tho ability aud resourcefulness of Architect Hodgson. Sharing with Mr. Hodgson the honor or this masterful effort is C. J. "HumphrlR, the contractor who carried car-ried out the ideas of the architect. Realizing the importance of his charge, .Mr. Ilumphrls gave to the construction of the building his every ' attention and the whole value of his building experience. His task was J equal to that of the men whose in- structlons he followed andijto him a liberal amount of credit is due. 1 Simultaneous with the apnenrance ' of this article tho first patient will havcjgr the Dee Memorial hos-flPltal hos-flPltal fact should convey the jB I ncce3n institution possessing Hv a olqulrcments possible for Hti 1 the n098ful treatment of hu HM man HjT" c Program.

Hence It 1b that a hospital In our midst should be appreciated, and looked upon, not as a mere ordinary building, not as one that is" erected for the comfort and caro of a family, but that it Is consecrated and dedicated to God's work and to God's suffering poor. "If this should be the way we should look upon hospitals as' a general thing, how much 'more so should we look upon this and the pood little lady who has given and equipped it from the munificence of the blessings that divine Providence has bestowed upon her, and has given It with the understanding that It Is not to ho a moiioy-making institution, and that " she Is never to derive one cent of profit from the money thnt 'she has " lnveHtcd in it. but that It is to go buck and is to be utilized, in order'to ' still further facilitate the case or tho h sick and the poor. k "This Ik a day of great importance k and great significance for phis city h of Ogden, that we all arc Justly proud " of.

In-vocation." BISHOP JAMES TAYLOR. In offering the Invocation Bishop James Taylor said: "Our Father, who art In Heaven: Wo beseech Thee to listen this afternoon after-noon to our humble petition. Wo Invoke In-voke Thy blessing upon us while wo are thus convened together to dedicate dedi-cate and to set apart this bulldins for the service of the public and especially especial-ly the afflicted part of our community who may need assistance here. "We thank Thee, our Heaveniy Father, that we live in this age of the world when the anthem of the angels sung in the hills of Bethlehem is taking effect In the hearts of humanity; hu-manity; when "peace on earth and good will to men" are finding deep root In tho hearts of many of our citizens citi-zens and of the Inhabitants of the earth.

We thank Thee for this, splendid splen-did edifice with its apartments, with Ite nrmnannirmts with ltn omiinmentS. and all that pertains to this building, and we dedicate the same, our Heavenly Heav-enly Father, for Thy service and for the service of the afflicted people I who may come here to he treated.

"With these feelings and sentiments in our hearts, may we not unl.te together to-gether and involve Thy blesBlng upon this edifice; Invoke Thy blessing upon all of our labors, and unite for the further development of charitable Institutions In-stitutions In our midst.

Amen." JUDGE HENRY H. ROLAPP. .Hdgo Honry H. Rolapp spoke as follows: "If a man die, shall ho live again? To Christian faith. God's voice has given celestial answer to that question and concerning things mortal the history his-tory of tho world has announced tho affirmative in no less certain tones. If n man has really llvod. and not merely mere-ly existed, he has by thnt means so-cured so-cured Immortality.

Neither Providence In its mercy, mer-cy, nor mankind iu its justice, will fall to recognize In such a man the highest Image of his Maker. "In admiring and praising his life's works, we arc simply acknowledging our gratitude for, and our dependence upon the existence of a noble example ex-ample of fraternal love. In raising monuments to his memory, we can not t Increase his worth, but we ure thereby there-by stimulating a higher reverence for those who live not for themselves alone. "Grateful, Indeed, ought we to be who have had the opportunity of per- 1 sonal association with such a mun in , the person of the late Judge Thomai j D. Dee. Individually. I esteem It the j proudest achievement of my life to j have had the privilege not only of j calling him my friend, but also that 1 he chose me for his Intimate associate ' and his personal chum. But even to , his closest friends he was more than I ordinarily secretive regarding matters I resulting from his most distinguished trait, that of serving and helping others. Only those enjoying a pio- longed and close fellowship with the judge were ever able to learn of even a few of his many acts, of benevolence. of his deep interest in the welfare of bib fellow-beings, and of his raro devotion to home and family. "He was a man of great loo and sympathy. While he was cheerful, I frank and outspoken, and thoioughly enjoyed social Intercourse and conversation, conver-sation, yet he always discussed con" dltlons rather than men; and I fall tO; recall a single occasion when even to '' iiu.iti-d Hii:Jcul..v.-iy oigUulZa and earnestly set to woik; and It Is gratifying to know that by their loyal, loy-al, devoted and united efforts the oh,-ject oh,-ject of the dotrors has been so speedily speed-ily realized and this edifice brdught i(to a successful completion. Naturally our family feels both thankful and j" pleased to see this fruition or our desires, de-sires, because wo arc convinced that in months could wo more honor the ; memorj or our beloved husband and , father, than In tendering UiIb hospital j to the people of this community, , whom he so loved, and among whom 1 he spent practically his entire life. If he excelled In one virtue more than In any other, It was that of sympathy for his fellow-men, and a lively Interest Inter-est In their welfare. Hence, we feel assured that If he wore here personally person-ally present, he would join us In dedicating dedi-cating this 3tructui,e to its public uses. ' "Under the articles of Incorporation of this association It has already beeji provided that this Institution can not and must not serve any selfish pur-I pur-I poses. The public only shall receive any advantage from this property or Us income, and It has, therefore been made a part of the consideration for this public gift 'that In no event shall any profit result from the management manage-ment or operation of this association, I or any of Its hospitals or properties, to any person whatsoever, except the general public, for whose benefit this I association has been organized, aud I Its initial gift accepted, and all tho ! moneys received shall he used for the sole benefit of fnitherlng and extend-I extend-I ing Its charitable purposes.' I "The total expenditures up to date j approximate .?100,000, and while this amount considerably exceeds the orig-I orig-I lnal estimate yet the funds have been fully secured, and we are thus enabled en-abled to formally turn over this Institution In-stitution to the public, to bo administered adminis-tered by the trustees of the Hospital association. "1 desire, at this time, to take the opportunity, on behalf of myself and family, to extend to each and all of the trustees our heartfelt thanks for their energetic and whole-souled labors la-bors in connection with the erection , of this hospital. We recognize that I their efforts have not only been ardu ous and painstaking, but always animated ani-mated by a broad desire to serve the public and benefit mankind In general gen-eral We also desire to extend our I thanks to those generous men and , women of our community who have aided us o materially iu making this ' place both useful and attractive by becoming Joint donors with us In furnishing fur-nishing wards and rooms throughout the hospital. I trust that tho blessing bless-ing of giving and of helping, which Is, after all. the most God-like attribute of human souls may be experienced by them to Its lullest measure. 'And now, Mr. Chairman, ladles and gentlemen, for and on behalf of the Thomas D. Doe company, and the family of my beloved husband, I formally for-mally tender to you and to the public pub-lic of Ogden city and Weber county, the exclusive use nnd title to theso grounds, together with the hospltnl and other buildings thoroupon situated, situat-ed, as ve'l as the furnishings therein there-in conia' and 1 sincerely hope that to our s . gift, an all-morclful Providence Prov-idence wih add His greater b'.esslng of roliovlng curing and restoring those suffering human beings that shall come under our' caro and treat mont within theso wnlls." MAYOR WILLIAN GLASMANN. j Muyor William Glasinann said: "Mr. L'u.iutiiti.i, 1 -- - . jtle-j jtle-j men: If there Is ono lii.n .j my mind that would lead me to understand what the home life of Thomas D. Dee was, It is tho thought of this monument. monu-ment. Others have died and left means, but no hospitals have showu up. When those who erected this beautiful memorial first conceived the Idea, It must havo been that the memory mem-ory of Judge Dee was dear to them. It must have been that thoy reinem-berod reinem-berod the kind and loving husband, the generous and Indulgent fathor. "Tho gift, as it Btands, is absolute to the people; there are no strings on It. excepting that If you cease to use It Tor what it has been dedicated, It reverts back to the Doe family; otherwise it belongs to the peoplo absolutely donatod to tho public. "Of course. I did not expect that Judge Doe would leave so much raon-e raon-e that the fuinlly could havo provided provid-ed for the maintenance of this Institution Insti-tution forever and forever. Therefore, There-fore, It Is not going to be a free hospital. hos-pital.

Suppose some of you should provldo by will and leave $10,000 to this hospital, tho Interest of which 'Vijb to bo used solely for 'the specific purpose of taking care of certain sick that mny come here. Such action would soon make this hospital free. I "TIiIb building" Is' but a foundation, h beginning, my friends, and o'thcrs must come to"'the rescu6 to make It freo, nnd It can only be done by pro. Idlng funds, tho Interest of which can be Used to payj for tho care of tho sick. I do not expect that you all can leavo $100,000 to put up such magnificent structures, but many of uyou can leavo, or oven give before "you die, $5,000 or $10,000 to make some department or branch free. Mm. Dec bus made a beginning, and this $100,000 building may cveutually develop de-velop Into a $1,000,000 plnnt, and we may have In our midst the greatest medical and surgical Institution in the entire west. "1 believe, my friends, I am not stopping on forbidden ground when 1 say thut each of you should romember this institution and help it long the lines I have suggested. "Coming, as thl6 gift does, from the heart of tho widow, and from tho hearts of tho children, I can Bay that no one could rofuse to accept sdeh a present, and as mayor of this city, and for and on behalf of all the people peo-ple of this community, 1 accept this gift for the public, and thank the Dee family in behalf of a grateful people 1 for what I know to he a sincere gift I to the people." A. R. HEYWOOD. President A. R. Heywood, or the Weber club, spoke as follows: "This building, which grows on one with Increasing volume as progress Is made Trom the entrance to the up- j per portion, Is but another lllustra- ' Hon In the great economy' of time. I flowing from the lndostiuctnbillty of life. '.'The greatest event In tho world was, of course, the creation, but God's purposes were not fulfilled, except development followed. "1 knew Thomas D.

"He had great love for public affairs, af-fairs, and high admiration for persons per-sons loyal to their God, their neighbors neigh-bors and their country, but always evinced utter contempt for ostentations ostenta-tions or display, whether It alfected himself personally or the public In general. "How appropriate, therefore, that his family, his wife and children, should have chosen to erect this hospital hos-pital to his memory. It would have been wholly contrary to his life character, char-acter, to have employed any of his means for tho building of any monument, monu-ment, however grand, which would only seTvo to bring his name and good deeds to public notice. But In giving this institution to the neighbors cf Iho judge, to the people or his own little community, and In perpetually dedicating It to the icllef of sufrerlhg humanity, and In providing that all of ! its earnings shall always and exclusively exclu-sively belong to the people, the family are strictly carrying out the Hfo purpose pur-pose which he himself had sot as the standard of true aud quiet benevolence. benevo-lence. And, as time goes on. and tne means of this Institution become more abundant, and other generous men and women be Inspired to further this public benefaction by nddlng their gifts to this beginning, the people of Ogden city nnd Weber county will be increasingly pioud or the knowledge that Thomas D. Doc was their countryman, coun-tryman, their neighbor and thqlr friend. And to Tulare generations, even though unacquulnted with his strong personality and great merits, ho will be just as much appreciated, because those blessings coming to mankind from a distance, and without with-out Individual environments, seom always to be the ondowment from some" higher power, or as tho poet has expressed It, 'the friond given you liy circumstances over which you had no control Is God's own gift.' Thoso present here today, all of whom were hie Intimates, associates and friends, are read now to respond to that sentiment, sen-timent, and acknowledge- that to this community Judge Doe was Indeed 'God's own gift.'

"Blossed be tho memory of him, and may his widow and family receive the Just appreciation thoy are entitled to." O. B. MADSEN. O. B.- Madscn, chairmen of county commissioners, In his acceptance speech, said; "The widow and chlldreu of the late Thomas D.

"To this end we pledge our utnust efforts." APOSTLE DAVID O. McKAY. 1 In speaking on "The Hospital and the Community,'' Apostle Uavld O' McKay said: '"Life is the gift of God, und Is divine.' He who saves a life, or makes it better or more happy, follows most closely the divine example or the eternal eter-nal author of life. It is God's privilege to give life; It Is man's duty to preserve pre-serve and perfect it. Much of th Savior's mission on enilh may he sco-j in this simple expression: 'The whole uccd no physician, but thoy thai are sick. Nor was It only those who wore sick In spirit whom He visited, but those who wore afflicted with physical Intlnnltles ns well.

H Aside from the large ward and the H regular service and bathrooms the Hlrl 'ourth floor Is devoted to private ooins :d the operalint department. H' Ilj, operating room and its accom- v pmylng chaTb?rs occupy the north-' north-' a-ost corner of the fourth floor. From H hf corridor the preparation is cnter-H cnter-H firs' In tb's room the patient is Hk , p acofi -mder U?" influence of the an- H ac Jbetlc.

Is tho main B, operating room. Like the minor op- 1 ci-itinp depannjent the floor is of Hj Fb"el lend and the vrnlls and wood- H work u-e enameled white. 1 Modern Equipment. H The equipment of this room is said 1 to be the most ccmpleho possible. H There 's an rpprating tibS of the lat- B est model vlth a multitude of ad- B Justing mcchanl8ms. Th.m, there la H. j a large vcfscI for sterlllzinf: the uten- H slh used in the room, in addition to B a smaller Instrument sterilizer. A H. large square tank fo" anticeptlc liquor L rests on a stand and Is sufficient in Bf- pzc to permit of pbyslcinns and H nurses emerging their arms Jip to tho H slioalderG The sink is built in such Hl marnrv that all valves arc operated H ,v levers controlled by tho luiccs, It H 'not lieinc neccssarv for the attend- ants to touch a lever with their 1 Sterilizing Department. H Through a door at ;ho .south side of HIL the operating room access is gained K 'to the aterllizing department. Like B) the other Tooms in this department. Hn the aterllizing departnwnt is con HK I Btructed v.-lth a careful regard to san-K san-K Jiation. The floor Is of cement, while Hl the walls arc treated with the hard H M washable substance of white. The M equipment of this room Is entirely mc-H mc-H chanical. There are two great tanks H Tor the proper treatment of water H used during operations and large ste- i Jlizers for utensils and instruments H Then, there 1 -jl cylinder-shaped re-H re-H ceptaclc provided with an air-tight HHB floor, in this device the bandages Htn'3her iaterial8 ,,sed In tt,e op" H crating room arc sterilized by moans Hl si earn. H Adjoining the sterilizing room on H the south, hut not accessablo from the H former arartment, is the supply room H lor tho operating departmonL It Is H Eteel-llned and the lockers contain a H full supply of medical puraphernalla, H from tbe smallest bandages to costly H Instruments. Beyond this room is a V Btoreroom, where the clothing worn H "by patients when they enter the hos-H hos-H ' jiltal is placed after it lias undorgonu H n sterilizing treatment. This com- H prises the apartments directly con- B nocted with the operating room and H completes tbe consideration of the H fourth floor H Careful Attention to Every Detail. B Tt would require a large volume to B dcscrlbo in detail the big building, but H a general resume of the interior will Hl show the careful attention which has H been given to the construction of this H beautiful hospital. H The walls of the corridors are cov- Hl cred with what It; known aB a sand H finish, while the walls and ceilings of B D'1 Private rooms are beautifully Unt- H cd in a variety of soothing shades. Mfl All doors are wide enough to pormit H) of tho regulation hospital bed being B or out of the rooms. Tho bed, H being equipped with the latest pat- Hl cntod glass caster, may be moved H along tile corridor to the elevator and H placed on board tho life. H Furnishings of Private Rooms. Hi The furnishings of the " private H rooms vary with the floors. Each H room contains. In addition to the hos- B ipltal bed and stand, a drester, rocking B chair, regulation chair an( rug. while H on tho wpmcn'R floor this equipment L la increased with a footstool and ex- Bl) tra vivs, and upholstered furniture. With tne excoption of one room on tho third floor, nil h.mliuro other than the regulation hospital equipment, equip-ment, Is of walnut, while the one remaining re-maining room has furniture of brids-cyo brids-cyo maple The predominating wood of the furniture on the fourth floor Is quarter-sawed oak. Practically all of the private rooms and some of tho wards were furnished by, charitably inclined Individuals and societies of this city. Throughout the building the equipment equip-ment is of standard Presbyterian hospital hos-pital design. The beds, which are light, but none the less subsstantial, are bight and there is n supply of private nurses' cots, which can be placed under the patient's bed when not in use. The Signal System. The sigual GyHleiu. by which a patient pa-tient Is enabled to call u nurso to his or her room Is said to be most slmplo and at the same time most efflclont. It consists of a series of electric lights with small red globes, tho llRht being fixed in the celling of tho main corridors in front of each door. By operating the push button at tho head of the bed tho Hg'it over tho door indicates in-dicates the loom from which the call comes and another light In the contar of the corridor Indicates tho floor from which the call oomes. Tho head nurse is also Informed by moans of a series of lights on which floor a nurso is wanted. Thero is not tho slightest noise to disturb tho other patients. With the samo view in mind tho steam radiators ar0 oaulppcd with u special arrangement which provonts any noise from steam or water In tho pipes. It Is also a uotab'o foaturo that tho radiators rest on Iron brackets brack-ets extending from the walla Instead of stands resting on the floors This prevents the collection of dirt and Impurities Im-purities around the legs of the stands. In connection with th signal system there Is a private telephone aystem. with stations In every department and in every corridor. The Service Rooms. Tho service rooms on each of the four floors aro equipped with every convenience There are largo slop basins, washstands, a tub, where bed linen is antlseptlcally treated before It Is removed to tho laundry and a largo socket for utensils of various kinds. Thero Is also a clothes locker on each floor for the storing of garments gar-ments worn by patients when they enter en-ter tho hospital. In each corridor there is a water plug -with a length of hose attached and also a sanitary drinking fountain on each floor. The pipe shaft extending extend-ing fTom the basement to the roof has an opening ou each floor. With a view to minimizing the danger from firo the doors in all brick walls are of steel, beautifully stained to correspond corre-spond with the birch doors found throughout the building. The corridor doors also swing either way. All floors are of hardwood, highly polished polish-ed and oiled. The matting used in the corridors on tli'o opening day Is not a permanent furnishing. In addition to glass of extra strength, the windows are covered by wire screens, together with a second heavy wire mesh. Tho screens arc all locked In place and cannot be removed by patients. Porches for Each Floor. An important and pleasant feature of the building is the large porches at the north and south ends of the buildings. fThls terlcG of open-fllr platforms extends from the basement to the fourth floor, and are accessablo from the ends of tho main corridor3 on every floor. In pleasant weather these porches will be a retreat for tbo convalescent patients. The corridors are well-lighted, there being windows at each side of the glass doors leading lead-ing out onto the porches. The flro escapes form an important adjunct of the porches at either end of tho building. By this series of Iron stairways stair-ways it would bo possible to descend from the roof or any floor of the building build-ing to the ground. Boiler Houbc and Laundry. A description of this fin institution would not be complete wltliout a mention men-tion of the auxiliary building in which is housed the hentlng apparatus and laundry This building Is a substantial substan-tial brick structuro located about 200 feet in tho rear of the main building. Here will be found tho two large boilers, boil-ers, which are built and installed by the Western Boiler & Machine company com-pany of this city. Tho operation of the heating system Is automatic, a series of pumps which draw the condensed con-densed steam out of the pipes being automatically set In oporatlon when the temperature drops to a cortaln point. The pumps for the prhato water system are also located In the boiler room. Thero is a coal locker of sufficient size to contain a carload of fuel. On the second floor of the auxiliary building is located tho laundry. This department is equipped with all tho latest machinery, consisting of a power-driven washer, centrifugal wringer, two Manglo ironing machines and a drying room. The laundry will bo In charge of an experienced laundryman and corps of assistants. The Office ! Rooms. Tf the right of the lobby Is the i 7 office and Immediately .it tho rear of1 the superintendent's npartment Is a private otflco or waiting ntom. A large arched doorway provides egress to the waiting room. To tho left of the main lobby Is a large smoking loom for men. it has been discovered discov-ered in tho larger and most modern hospitals that such a room Is very essential. On this same floor is i ward conLiining four beds. In addition to tho regular two-bed ward, of which there is ono on each floor. Across the main hall at the south end of the building aro soveral private rooms, with the diet kitchen directly over tho main kitchen on the floor below This smaller kitchen Is equipped with n gas range, steam warmiug oven aud dummy w.iltcr to the main kitchen f One of the Operating Rooms. The room to be occupied by the head nurse 16 also located In this end of the building near the office and lobby. The entire portion of the front section of this floor not taken up by the office Is devoted to private rooms for patients. Across the hall aro dressing, service, bath and store rooms, and finally, at the extreme north end or the floor, is the minor opcrattug room. This secondary operating op-erating room In the Dee Memorial hos-pltnl hos-pltnl is better fitted and in many ways more complete than the main operating operat-ing departments of many hospitals of the country. Situated at tho corner of tho building, it is well lighted from the east and north. Tho large windows are fitted with artistic Florentine Flor-entine glass.. With a view to obtaining obtain-ing the best sanitation, the floor of this room is composed Of lead, with all joints carefully sealed. The walls are covered with a hard flinty aub-sLance aub-sLance of immaculate while Every joint and crevice is sealed, and It Is claimed that were It not for the door It would be possible to fill tbo room with water and not a drop would escape. es-cape. The equipment is sufficiently complete as to make possible operations opera-tions of a minor nnturc On this floor and near the operating department is a dressing room whore the garments worn by patients may be exchanged for hospital garb. In this room are stored bed linen and blankets, blan-kets, and there is an Ingenious blanket THE LATE TH OMAS D. DEE. warmer enclosed in an air tight chamber. cham-ber. Third Floor for Females. The third floor will be devoted ex-cluslvely ex-cluslvely to the accommodation of female fe-male patients. It contains a larger number of beds than any other floor. The ward on this floor contains eight beds in addition to the two-bed ward. With the exception of the regular service ser-vice room, supply and wardrobe apartments, apart-ments, almost the entire floor Is devoted de-voted to private rooms. On this floor Is the most complete linen supplv of the entire hospital and the bathroom i equipped with a "shower." Male Patients on Fourth Floor. For several reasons the fourth floor Is the raobt important of the entire hospital. Firstly it is for the accommodation accom-modation of male patients only, and secondly, the major operating room is located on this floor. Here is also the largest ward of the entire institution, insti-tution, for the one large rooms now contains twelve beds and more could be placed in tbe ward without inconvenience. incon-venience. There are a total of twenty-three beds on the fourth floor. GENERAL DESCRIPTION. In the completion of the Thomas D. Dee Memorial hospital, Ogden .can boast of an Ideal Institution for the amelioration of human ills. There may bo larger hospitals In the west, but certainly none more complete, more modern or better equipped. It is claimed, and in all probability the claim is not overdiawn. that a better operating department cannot bo found in a hosplLil this side of Now York city. Be this as It may, a glance at the main operating room, auxiliary operating room and a silll third department de-partment for the treatment of minor cases, will convince medical man or layman that thero can surely be nothing noth-ing lacking, neither In the equipment nor the sanitary' conditions. Highest Standard of Efficiency. To a marked degree ovcry other department de-partment of the institution, from tho most unimportant to tire most essential, essen-tial, has been brought to the highest possible standard of efficiency. Every minor detail is indicative of tlio careful care-ful attention exorcised by the commission com-mission which has had the work in charge. Situated at the very base of tho mountains and In anoutlying and quiet section of the city, the locatioh of the hospital is most admlrablo. It is only a half block north of tho Twenty-fifth street car line on Harrison avenue, and is therefore t)asy of access Although Al-though the grounds aro not yet laid out or Improved, wide concrete sidewalks side-walks have been constructed on both sldoB of the avenue from Twenty-Jlfth street to the hospital entrance. Stone steps, which extend almost tho entire width of the ornamental front, lead to the main entranco on the second floor, while a short flight of steps leads to the bafent or first floor entranco, dlrectl.vjmder the main entrance. ThroughoiV this artl- clo the basomeut, which extends but r. two or throe feet below the level of , tho ground, will be referred to as tbo first floor, making the hospital building build-ing four stories In he'ght Building's Interior. To assist In tho description or the building's Interior It must bo s'atcd that the general arrangement of coi-ridors coi-ridors artd rooms is the same on each of the four floors. Covering a ground space of probably ISO feet by 50 root, each floor is divided longitudinally by a wide corridor, extending entlrelv through tho building from north to south. In the center of the building nt tho front of the first and second floors aro the ontrnnco lobbies, while at tho rear of the main corridor on all rour lloors aro the reversed stairways stair-ways leading to tho floor above. From this It will bo seen that the arrangement arrange-ment is most simple and at 'the same time vcrv adequate The elevator is located a"t the rront of the longitudinal corridor, about half-way between the center and northern end of the building. build-ing. TH Basement. For convenience, the first lloor or basement will be the first section of the building visited In this description. descrip-tion. Much of this floor Is taken up by the kitchen and nurses' quarters. The latter apartments are so equipped as to be transformed into patlonts' quarters in case of necessity. Entering Enter-ing the first lloor at the front en-1 en-1 trance, n narrow corridor leads to the main hallway. At the right or this entrance en-trance are nurses' parlor and dining rooms, large, well ventilated and well-lighted well-lighted apartments, the walls of which aro studded with signal system plugs for use In case the rooms should be ever converted into wards for patients. pa-tients. Directly across the main corridor is the culinary department The kitchen equipment Is most complete In addition addi-tion to tho largo range thero is tho steam table, plate wanner, chopping block and dish washing apparatus. The kitchen is easily accessible from the rear of the building by an outside door and a short flight of steps. Directly Di-rectly off the kitchen to thp south la the larse pantry equipped with a huge Ice chest, In which a vast amount of stores can be kept. Ice can be deposited de-posited in tho refrigerator chamber from the outside of the building. At the right of the basement entrance en-trance at the front of the building is the X-ray room. This apartment is especially es-pecially constructed for photographic work, having no windows or opening nf any kind other than the door. It is equipped with the latest model of X-ray machine and other devices for the diagnosis of cases by the use of electricity. Quarters for Nurses. Beyond this room arc tho nurses' quarters. These rooms are fitted up in much the same manner as the private pri-vate rooms on the other lloors, except tnat they contain two beds. There aro also rooms of a similar description descrip-tion ncrois the main hall, but In addition addi-tion thereto Is the medical store room, already stocked with a la'ge supply of v.oHon, Ic.uugages and other necessary neces-sary hospital equipment. Adjoining the storeroom is the dressing loom, where a majority of the patients will bo taken "upon their entranco to the hospital. It Is In this room that all Injuries of a minor nature will bo dressed before the patient 16 removed to a ward or room on another floor. The room contalus a limited surgical equipment, together with sanitary compartment! for storing bandages, c'c. In connection with this room It may be stated that all patients will enter tin- hospital on tnls first floor. A spec'al platform has been built at the rear outside entrance The ambulance ambu-lance cot will be placed on a wheel stretcher and rolled down a short Incline In-cline to the level of the basement floor. The pntient may then be taken direct to the dressing "room or placed on board the elevator and removed to any floor In tho building. On the Main Floor. With the exception or the bath and service rooms, which aro on every floor and will be mentioned later, this completes the first lloor. and by means or a narrow lllght of stops at tho side of the slide or by ascending the main entrance stops at the front of tho building, tho visitor proceeds to the second and main lloor. That portion of the structure devoted de-voted to tho main entrance, office and waiting room, is one of the most well appointed and beautiful suite of rooms In tho entire hospital. The walls and woodwork are beautifully tinted and unlike any other department, the walls for a distance of six feet above the floor have been covered with burlap. Tho main lobby, extending from tho rront or the building to the main corridor cor-ridor and separated from tho hallway by fine are glass paneling and doors, Is rurnlsbed with several settees and rockers ior the accommodation ot visitors. On the south wall or the lobby Is a large picture of the late Thomas D. Dee, to whom this great Institution stands as a monument to his memory. i oo "Had dyspepsia or indigestion for ears.
