Trank, were among the few who saw

smile and happy wit and aided greatly
in assisting to cheer any the boys who
felt a bit blue at leaving. Like all the

Mits. A. C. McCauue
Her numerous friends and oldtitue
neighbours in Mona will learn with a
great deal of sorrow of the death of
Mrs, Andrew C. McCague. The sad
event occurred at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. James Irwin, Mill
street about 10 o'clock on MO'nclay
night at Orangeville, and was quite
unexpected. Mrs. McCague, who had
not been feeling any too well since
the death of her husband about six
months ago, came to Orangeville on
Sunday, October 15th, to visit her
daughter. She'had been planning to
make her home in Orangeville and on
the morning of her death her sonnn-
law closed a deal for her for the pur-
cbase of Mrs. John Cobean's dtvelling
house almost directly across Mill
street, Monday afternoon Mrs Mc-
Cague was taken suddenly ill with
severe pains in the region of the heart,
A doctor was called and under his
treatment she rallied and became
considerably better. Later on there
was a recurrence of the trouble, which
was attributed to heart weakness,
and the end came quite suddenly.
Mrs. McCague, whose maiden name
was Lucinda Wray, was a daughter of
the late Benjamin Wray of Tecumseh,
She was 60 years of age and was mar-
ried 42 years ago. After their marri-
age Mr. and Mrs. McCague settled at
Relessy, where Mr. McCague was
postmaster for a number of years and
also deputy -reeve of the township for
a term, Eleven years ago they retir-
ed from farming and moved to 13eeton
where Mr. McCague died hist spring,
Mr. J. McOague of Tecumeeb, is
the only son, and Mrs, Irwin, wife of
Couneillor James hanks of Orangeville,
Mrs. Andrew Prentice and Mrs. Arthur
Strongman of Beeton, are the daugh-
ters. Mrs, Jesse Horner of Detroit,
and Mre. George Daly of Wingham,
are the surviving sisters. Deeeased
was a very kind-hearted woman,
good neighbours and a devoted wife
and mother. She was a member of
the Methodist Church and Ron. E. 1.

Gentlemen
: -
We, the Directors appointed at your
last Annual Meeting, have the honor
to submit the following report for the
year endiug September 30th, 1916; -
During the year the usual num-
ber of perplexing problems have
presented themselves, but notwifh-
sts,nding these, we have the pleaeure
of stating that in the year just closed,
the Hospital has taken care of more
patients than in any other year since
its establishment, which speaks well
for the efficiency of the staff and the
general management of the Institu.
tion.
Referring to the expense in connec-
tion with the up -keep of the building,
we have not spent any very large
amount on any one particular
part. There are a few items however,'
of which we might make mention:
The changing of the sewerage system
from Carling Terrace to Catharine St.,
which we mentioned in our last An-
nual report would be necessary, was
taken up by your Directors arid the
work completed. The satisfaction de-
rived therefrom is proof that the
change was necessary and the cost of
the alteration was money well spent.
We also changed the arrangement
of our out -buildings, making a perm-
anent place for the ambulance and in
doing this, it was found necessary to
to alter and add to the size of the poul-
try -house and yard.
In connection with the laundry,
there has never been a satisfactory
drying system until tbis year, when
we erected a complete set of lines
working on pulleys, which is most sat.
isfactory and the full lengths of the
lines can be used from the one point
by the operator, in the winter as well
as in the summer.
While these changes were not of
any great expense, they have added
much to the accommodation and con-
veniences of the place,
Of course there have been many
other small items of repairs etc,
which are alwaye necessary with up-
keep of the Institution and of whieh
we need not make special mention.
With regard to the number of pati-
ents during the year just closed, there
have been cared for in the Hospital,
155, the total number of days aggre-
gating 2467, This is an increase over
last year of 20 patients and 161 days,
which we consider epeaks well for the
institution. There have been an aver-
age number of free patients, as the
Hospital is always open to those who
are not in a position to provide for
themselves.
We had a graduating class in March
of this year, whistle was however,
somewhat smaller than usual, only
two receiving certificatee; Mies Coop.
er of Clinton, and Mies Little of Ilder-
ton. We are pleased tO state these
two nurses have been constantly ern-
ployed sinee their graduation and have
proved themselves a credit to the In.
etitution,
We would especially acknowledge,
the assistance rendered by the Ladies
Auxiliater of the Hoftpitat for the gen-
erous and euceeesful, way in Which they
testier, discharged the Work undertaken
by them, namely: the supplying of
it Meng, dishee and mall wares in
connection with the interior workings

er.
Ing the last year, they have replenish-
ed necessaries to the amount of be-
tween 3 and 1 hundred dollars, Be.
sides this, they have also placed in the
laundry, an electric washing machine,
costing in the neighborhood of eighty
dollars. Though very recently in-
stalled, eve feel it will prove to be a
great help in that department. We
especially appreciate the efforts of the
ladies in this connection, as a Machine
of this nature was under consideration
by the Board for setae time paet.
Among the improvements for the
coming year, your Directors have de-
cided to inetall,a fire protection system
consisting of a two inch stand -pipe
trout the main on Carling Terrace to
the fourth floor in the building, equip-
ped with the necessary hose, etc. on
each of the four Ileum The idea of
this protection was taken up owing to
the Hospital being legated on the top
of the hill and such a great distance
from the fire hall and in consideration
of the time it would take for the fire-
men to reach the building should a
fire occur. With this equipment, any
part of each ilat could be reach
ed immediately and with the two inch
stand -pipe would supply plenty of
water.
No doubt there will be other neesas-
aisles to cOme up during the year which
will present themselves from time to
time.
The Directors wish to express their
appreciation and thanks to all who
have contributed their services to the
Elospital and would especially men-
tion in the work tied the elliciett,
management of the Inetitution.
During the past year the Hospital
has not solitited aesistance in the way
of outside contributions brit depended
entirely on its own earnings and 10 -
come and by oareful handling of
the it has been able to close the year
with a etnall balance to our credit.
All of which is tespeetfully submit-
