Nurses at oskaloosa Hospital Put up
Job On Barringer April I.

DR.. j. c. Barringer was one of the
victims of April Fools Day. He was
summoned to the hospital early in the
morning, on the pretext that one of
the nurses was having fits. He hur-
riedly donned his working harness
and sprinted to the hospital. mile
distant. He found the patient wrap
ped in bandages and seemingly uncon-
scious, lying in bed and attended by
several nurses. He prescribed for
the supposed sufferer and turned to
leave the building, when the nurses
made apology for arousing him at so
early an hour before breakfast and
extended invitation that he eat his
morning meal with them. They we're
Just going to the dining room. The
doctor accepted the kindly attention
and when he entered the dining room
he was seized with angina pectoris
and almost lost his breath, for there
sat the very girl he thought he had
been attending the moment before.
1t was neat joke OF the first of April
and was cleverly carried out All
the Doctor has to say about it is:
