NURSING AS A PROFESSION.

Chamberlain, S. D.-The trained
nurse has come to stay. The busy
physician who can not spend but an
hour or less with his patients has
come to depend on trained nurses to
carry out his directions and to attend
constantly to the patients needs and
to make accurate report Of the same
to him. With the assistance of the
trained nurse the physician is able
to use modern methods Of massage,
hydrotherapy, and other scientific
measures that give him marvellous re-
suits in the relief of his patients. The
trained nurse is displacing the prac-
tical nurse very rapidly and already
a large number Of States require a
nurse to graduate from recognized
school and pass the State examination
the same as the physician in order to
practice her profession. This gives
protection to the trained nurse, but in
a greater measure protects the pa
tient
The people Of South Dakota want
the very best and the graduate nurse
who is faithful can always keep busy.
Twelve nurses graduated in August
from the Chamberlain Sanitarium
Nurses Training School and all are
now engaged in lucrative positions
and the demand exceeds the supply
This school offers many advantages
over the ordinary Hospital school, as
the Course includes thirty-five studies
bearing directly on the nursing pro-
fession besides the practical care Of
all kinds of cases. Those admitted
to the school are persons with ability
and can make a success Of the work.
Nine instructors make this school
equal to any and superior to a majori.
ty Of training schools for nurses.
Massage, hydrOtherapy, laboratory
analyses and electricity are given in
addition to what can be learned in the
best hospital training school.
This fits the nurse to care for all
kinds Of medical cases as we'll as
those needing surgical attention Con-
sequently, the Sanitarium Training
School for Nurses has a wide field
for practice and graduates are inval-
liable to the physician who is using
modern methods in his practice.
The course extends over a period of
three years and an average Of four.
teen recitatiOns and demonstrations
are given each week. A large number
Of both medical and surgical cases
come to the Sanitarium and this gives
an exceptional advantage to those
wishing to receive nurses training.
Over two thousand cases have been
treated in the institution during its
first two years of work The large ad-
ditions that are now being constructed
will give more room for patients and
greater facilities. The Chamberlain
Sanitarium Training School bids fair
to become the largest school in the
Northwest

CHICAGO, April 1.-THE
of the Unemployed in
this city today is searching for
new boarding places and many of
them, it is said, have been forced
to the awful alternative of looking
for employment. This condition
is the result of the decision the
leaders of the brotherhood, who
yesterday in open debate, conclud-
ed that the ideals of ]. Eads How,
of st. Louis, their friend and ben
efactor, were visionary. For the
benefit of the unemployed, How
many months ago established in
this city a refuge and feeding
place. He also established a fund
for coffee and sinkers for hungry
men.
Yesterday the leaders of the
brotherhood arrived at the conclu-
sion that How knows nothing of
the unemployed and that his plans
are impracticable.

P, CASES
DELAYED /.
AGAIN

Protests fro mthe promoters of
the Gillies projects which 1t Is
proposed to locate on Chambers
creek to the war department of
the government against the plans
of the Northern Pacific railway
for crossing this waterway near
Steilacoom werem ade the excuse
by attorneys for the railway this
morning for asking Judge Han
ford in federal court for the con-
tinuance of the condemnation
cases which came up for trial and
they were all set over until May s.
Attorney Murray for the Hill
lines stated that objections had
been lodged with the war depart
ment against the plans of the
company and that the matter was
now in dispute and unsettled and
that 1t might necessitate the COM
pany changing its entire plans for
the center line of its water level
line along this shore.
Attorneys Langhorne, Titlow
and Coiner, representing the Tit
low and some other interests
along the Narrows, resisted the
attempt to postpone. They thought
there was no good foundation in
any claim that the war depart
ment was interfering with the
plans of the company and they
did not want to be held up on
their property any longer by the
threat of condemnation.
Attorney j. M. Ashton appear
ed for the Chambers creek prop
erty owners but he took little part
in the discussion.
Judge Hanford finally agreed
to postpone the cases and they
were all laid over until May 5.
