ed her degree as a doctor. TO do this,
she first became a trained nurse for
several years, obtaining valuable ex-
perience.
She afterward began her medical
education at the Boston Medical

entering the medical school of the
University of Michigan at Ann Arbor.
After three years at this institution

Nurse a Champion Forgotten.

gGrs. Maude Miller Nipple, whose
advocacy Of course in motherhood
for young matrons already has begun
to bear fruit, was talking OF the duties
of young mothers, says the Cleveland
Plain Dealer.
And no young mother" she said,
mo matter how many her millions
nor how high her station, should
trust her little one entirely to a nurse
care. A nurse may be most intelli-
gent, most conscientious; but to rear
baby properly is difficult task, and
only one person is sufficiently inter
ested in this task to perform it well.
That person is the baby's mother"
Mrs. Nipple smiled. "a young
mother" she said, was walking with
her husband on the Atlantic City
board walk Suddenly she gave a
little cry of pleasure.
OH" she said; there is nurse
nure wheeling baby"
And she ran lightly to the Iuxuri-
Gus coach of leather. with its swan
shaped carriage and it's rubber-tired
wheels, and she pushed back the para
sol that shaded the occupant from the
sun. Then she gave a great start
Why, nurse!' she cried. Where's
baby?

meeting is held each year and there
are then read many papers of great
value. At every meeting some one
learns something which may be
worth thousands of dollars to him in
conducting his business We aim to
have talks and papers not only by
members of our own organization, but
we have prominent manufacturers
and experts from other states.
The brick industry is constantly
growing. With the price of lumber
going up all the time, the demand for
brick increases. In the state there
are vast clay beds which ave not yet
been opened, anu the supply of brick
therefore is inexhaustable AS time
goes on there will be fewer houses
built of lumber and more of brick. The
clay industry in this country is vet
in its infancy"

Faults Enough as 1t Is.

The political machine that dominates
New York city is strong because large
powers are delegated to it, and the ex-
penditure of $1OOOOO,00O is given alb
solutely into it's keeping. We have
faults enough without municipal own
ership in most of the cities of this
country, and the ordinary business
man fails to see the wisdom of making
the situation more complex and dubi-
Gus than it is by adding the problem
of municipal ownership with all that II
implies. -Binghamton Herald.
