many who, in addition to their ill
health, are without means and de-

This was 'the situation in Slot
Springs, Arkansas, many years
ago before any provision was
made for the care of the indigent
sick. Hardly a day passed when
some co-religionist, crippled with
rheumatism, helpless, arrived in
the city; and it fell to the local
rabbi to obtain medical aid, care,
baths, and above all, funds to pro-
vide for the maintenance of these
dependent visitors. It was quite
evident that the small resident
Jewish community was not equal
to the task. Some Institution was

necessary quiet and privacy. Three
hundred front feet of this prop-

States Government through two
Acts of Congress under a license
for the operation of non-sectarian
hospital for charitable purposes.
Three buildings, the hospital
proper, the Charles Steinberg
Clinic and the Nurses' Home, have
been erected. The hospital's staff
is composed of 32 prominent phy-
sicians who serve without pay,
and the hospital is ranked as class

Although Jews have constituted

there has been very little Jewish

IS NOT ENOUGH
A man may wear fashionable clothes and still not
appear in good taste if the clothes are not appro-
priate for him.
A correct interpretation of line, color and design
as it applies to the individual is just as important
as current trends of fashion.
Granadier clothes reflect a careful study of per-
sonal requirements—the suit we tailor for you is
yours alone and can be rightly worn by no one else.
The new Fall importations are as individual in their
pattern treatment as is the designing of our clothes.
