cit was impossible for Great Britain
to make the suggestion and hope for
its serious consideration by Russia.
France would have been disposed to
regard with suspicion any such propo-
sition coming from Germany and
Japan would have hesitated to acqui-

from France. The United States was
the only power that could take the In

The note is general in character and
therein lies its greatest strength.
Germany was the first to respond fav-

the suggestion TO which Russia might
take exception"
The French and Russian ambassa-
doris had a long conference yesterday
concerning Mr.. Hays note. Both APP
proved its humanitarian purposes. In
diplomatic circles the belief is strong
that Russia will acquiesce in Mr.. Hays
suggestions when she has assured her

administration official it can be
stated that this government has
no intention OF suggesting any
thing about Corea. II is recog-

THE TRAINED NURSE
HER STRENGTH SOMETIMES TAXED
BEYOND LIMIT.
A Graduate of the New York Training
School Tells How She Recuperates
After Heavy Strain.

The trained nurse plays very inn
portant part in the modern treatment of
disease, greatly TO the relief of both doc
tor and patient. Because she is well dis
ciplined she is able to perform difficult
service and to endure fatigue in man
ner that excites admiration and wonder.
She is human, however, and in trying
cases the demands upon her strength
prove excessive. She fulfils her duty
nobly to the last moment but, as soon as
she is relieved she is compelled to build
up her own weakened powers. She
naturally wants the remedy that will re-
store her efficiency in the shortest posi-
BILE time, and, as her knowledge Of medi.
cines is wide, her choice is likely to be a
sensible one and a remarkably good
guide for everybody else.
Every word of the following careful
statement of Mrs. Jessie NJ. f. Cum
mings, of 61 Whitmore street, Hartford,
Conn, a graduate of the New York
Training School for Nurses. is entitled
to the weight which attaches to the ut
terance of an expert:
