To The Public Inasmuch as it is practically a daily occurrence where patients come to my hospital thinking it to be a public charitable institu tion and that lam compelled to take such patients, and when they leave the institution make it a point not to pay, and inas much as it is a private institu tion not receiving one red cent from the city, and only at times through the courtesy of the county Commissioners, I wish the public to kindly take cognizance that I cannot run the institution under such circumstances. My help and various daily expenses must be paid in cash when due, hence I would kindly ask the public to please pay their honest bills. I have given all my col lections into a collector’s hands and wish no one to feel offended as I have no time to go out col lecting. Some that could pay de libertly hold back on some pre tense of some kind and I hope they will pay what is honestly coming to me, else I shall prose cute them to the full extent of the law. I thank the majority of my patrons for the courtesy and kindnesa shown me and I am ever ready to serve them night or day. Dr. A. J. Kaufman??

When once establish ed in a good live, thriving com munity it goes on forever while other linen of business may come and go. The newspaper may change management occasionally but the same old paper is issued and read week after week and year after year. There is no use getting peeved at the editor. If he starves out, there is always some one to take his place. You may kill off all the editors you please, but when you come to kill off a well established newspaper you may just as well give up. for some day it is going to publish your obituary.
