Show Have you looked at the picture carefully ? Look again and see if you can find in it a heating plant, a hot and cold water system, filtering outfit, sewage system and doctors' scrub up room. They are all in the picture-and more. This is what our doctors have used for the last five years. Of course it is convenient to havt the wood piled under the stone and to have the medicine cupboards at one's elbow but We have a beautiful new hospital building now. It has two waiting rooms, two dispensaries, two doctors' offices and a hd drug room in the middle and then an operating room, recovery room and laboratory in the rear. There are also four new wards. How far do you think the things shown in the picture will go toward equipping even one new building? £atest word from tbe W.B.m.p. hospital of the American Board mission, Dittoing, Sbantnng, CDina. i p i i • • • • • i j \ Corner in the old Operating room.

Do you remember the money table in the old arithmetic? 10 cents make one dime. 10 dimes ,, ,, dollar. iO dollars „ ,, eagle Beautifully simple, isn't it? Substitute for that- 11 coppers make one "mao"-if exchange is normal. 12 "mao" + 2 or 3 coppers make one dollar-most of the time. 136 coppers-more or less-make one dollar. 1 dollar = anywhere from 2500 to 3000 cash-native coins with a hole for stringing. 1000 cash = 490 pieces on a string-1 piece does duty for two and the other ten pay for the string. Dollars, taels, and bank notes vary in value according to the market, locality and season of the year. 17 S. gold exchanged for $2.60 Mexican a year ago but dropped as low as $1.58 this spring, and has now reached $2. That is one reason why we have not enough money for our equipment. MINNIE CASE ELLIS. |
