Caring for the sick among the poor
of Minneapolis has been heavy task
for the four visiting nurses maintained
by the visiting nurse committee Of the
Associated Charities, according to the
report for the year ending Sept. 80,
fled with the committee by Miss Marie
Jamme, head nurse. One thousand four
hundred and eighty n patients t, haze Eys come come
than in the preceding year-necessitat-
ing 7,7O1 calls-2,658 more than in the
preceding year.
: Far from looking upon this increase
as discouraging, Miss Jamme points to
it as sign Of the growing efficiency
Of the system and the closer contact
between the nurses and the classes
which are in need of this form Of as
increase is the greater number of indie
pendent poor who have taken advan-
tage Of the f'small- service Of the
nurses, which brings expert care with
in the reach Of people Of small means.
Fees received in this way have amount
ed to $209.22 and the fund has been
drawn on for supplies. It is possible
that this source Of income will soon
pay all expenses except salaries, uni
forms and printing. 80 e.
Two Great Needs. J.
An additional nurse to act as relief
and better pay for the nurses are the
two needs Of the service, according to
Miss Jamme. The present pay is too
small to retain competent workers and
does not permit them to afford the
study and relaxation essential to in
creasing efficiency and good health.
The new 6bstetrical department. has

Aldermanic Candidates Neglect to File
Certificates Of Nomination.

-Four socialists who had, ambitions to test
their personal popularity by entering various
aldermanic races effectually barred themselves
from the game by their own negligence. Altho
they had been lawfully nominated, they failed
either thru ignorance or Indifference to file
clerk The last day for filing the certificates
was last Saturday, and altho Mart stapleton,
deputy, kept the clerks office open until
midnight, the missing quartet failed to ap-
pear.
Without the certificates. which must also be
accompanied by 9 filing fee OF $40, the clerk
cannot place the names on the ballot
One Of the delinquents came In today, but
was Informed that it was everlastingly toe
late. The news did not disturb him. The men
whose names are thus dropped from the OIL
cia1 ballot are: w. G. Bossert, candidate 70,
alderman Of the third ward; Harry O. Mckee
alderman Of the fourth; William NJ. Davis
alderman of the eleventh, and e. w. Hobbs
