An analysis of national hospital statistics showed the state has more than 107,000 beds in 357 hospitals, or 11.3 beds per 1,000 population, the nation's tenth highest rating.r The national rating is 9.8 beds per 1,000 population. , The five highest-rate^ states were District of Columbia, 16.5 New York, 14.2; Massachusetts. 14.1; Vermont, 12.5 and Wyoming, 12.2. "U. S. hospitals now have more than 1,600,000 beds, an increase of about 171,000 from 1946 to 1956," said a representative of the company making the survey. "However, hospitals still have a deficiency of about 1,000,000 beds. "This deficiency is due to . the continued high rate of population growth and the mounting obsolescence of hospital facilities, rf-But hospital construction is going on at a rapid rate, with $775,000,000 estimated for 1957. That fact, plus the noteworthy job achninistrators are doing in effecting new economies and efficiencies in the operation of hospitals, means the U. S. can look forward to a steadily improving level of hospital care." "Tranquilizer" drugs have a quieting effect on newly weaned calves. Well-built wire fences can last 20 to 25 years.

Train Fare Increase The Chicago & North Western Railway Company has again made application, (the last rate increase was in 1953) to both the Illinois | Commerce Commission andL-thel Interstate Commerce Coimnission for an over-all increase of approximately 24 percent to 70 percent in its suburban system railroad fares. The proposed increase in fare for a forty-six ride monthly ticket for Ringwood; for example, would be from $30.25 to $37 55, or an increase of $7.30 The same ticket from Woodstock would increase from $29.20 to $36.25 or ah increase of $7.05v Increase from Cary 1 would be $5.90. The village of Algonquin has' sent a formal resolution to the Illinois and Interstate Coramerce Commissions, and alao to the village clerks of ttfe areas involved, in the hope of organizing a joint; effort in opposition to the rate increases, which will not compensate the commuter in any substantial way. The cut in running time will only save about two minutes from Chicago and the resolution also states thfe C&NW has made very little major improvements in service or new equipment in the trains ^ in thirty years.
