Hospital Day. Thursday, May 12th,
was the anniversary of the birth of Flor- I
ence Nightingale and has been made a I
national event in honor of the useful life
and honorable and humane record of this
wonderful woman. The day was observ
ed by the Waldo County Hospital under
most auspicious circumstances. The
special feature of the occasion was a
treatise on “Cancer” read by Dr. W. M.
Spear of Rockland, under the auspices of I
the Maine Public Health Association, i
The paper merits the most favorable
comment and the local stall of physi
cians and surgeons present speaK of it in ,
the highest terms. All concerned appre
ciate the elfort made by Dr. Spear to be
present. The reception lrom 2 to l o’clock
was well attended, when tea and crack
ers were served under the direction of
Mrs. Cecil Clay, president of the Hos
pital Aid, assisted by Mrs. John W. Fur
guson and Mrs. Orris S. Vickery. Miss
Alice Wescolt, R. N., the popular super
intendent, assisted by the student nurses
very courteously answered the many
questions of the interested guests and
jalso showed all the new improvements
and new appliances. Every room has been
recently renovated under the capable and
tireless energy of Mrs. Clay and the en
tire building seemed like a new one.
Green shades and dainty white curtains
have been hung at every window.
Friends have kindly supplied flowers
which gave a touch of home influence.
The two ward rooms and private rooms
in the main building and also in the an
j nex were in white. New papers in soft
i tones with new paint, etc. made a most
■ decided improvement. Mrs. Clay has
i not only solicited practically all of the
[funds used in the improvements but has
j, also superintended the work. Miss
iWescott has the complete confidence of
l the Hospital management and its friends.

You do not have to be of a mechanical turn
of mind to appreciate that a motor with gliding
telescopic sleeves will last longer than a motor
whose chief parts are in continuous concussion.
The sliding 'Sleeves of the Willys-Knight
Sleeve-Valve Motor instead of wearing out—wear
in with use, producing a condition of ascending
efficiency up to 50,000 miles or more. This means
more power and less upkeep, instead of the usual
