NEW HOSPITAL
THROWN OPEN
Old Court Building, Transform
ed, Now House* 75 Scarlet
Fever Patients
The "Hotel Scarlet" threw open
It* doors Thursday morning for the
reception of patrons, and before the
first ds> was old It was almost filled
to capacity.
This "hotel" ta the detention boa
nltal for convalescing scarlet fever
patients in the old municipal court
building, which has been transformed
into a* neat and attractive a little
hospital as one would care to go to.
Th< patients were removed from the
Herman Kiefer hospital to make
more room there for patients whose
are more serious.
Os the 75 patients removed to th*
new all are men more than
17 years old, wtjpo have passed the
er ous stage of the fever, but who
must be kept under strict quaran
tine until they have served out the
allotted 2k days.
Both of the .police court rooms
have been turned Into hospital
wards, and In each have been in
stalled 40 »>ed*. If necessary many
more bed* ran be placed in these
ward*, hut Dr J. W Inches, health
officer, thinks the epidemic la now
so well in hand that this will not
be necessary.
What was formerly the "bull pen”
haa been turned Into a dining room
capable of seating the whole popu
lation of the hospital, while off it
Ib a perfectly equipped kitchen. The
fever convalescents have good appe
tite* and the expert cook* are going
to try to make their enforced stay
a* pleasant a* possible. Everything
from canned tripe to pumpernickel
has been laid in, and from the lard
er can be produced as “swell" a
meal as ever tickled the palate of a
monarch.
White pain* and a lot of soap and
water has disguised the dim and
dusty old building so that its dear
est frl»nd would not reeogntie It
The patients were taken from the
Kiefer hospital to the new one in
Board of Health ambulances, each
taking six men at a trip. On the
return trip the ambulances took
back new patients to take the beds
vacated by the convalescents. The
transfer of patients started early
in the morning and it was expected
that before night all would be
moved.
In establishing the new hospital
not a cent of extra expense has
been Incurred. Much of the equip
ment ws* loaned and some of the
old court room furniture has been
utilized. Such new material aa was
purchased will be utilized later in
the addition to Kiefer hospital.
