the Man Who Isn't Getting Married the Best Man WeddngP
NURSE ovgRwoRKEO
Committee Has to Withdraw Her
From Part Of Service

The committee ON district nursing
reluctantly announces TO the public
that the privilege of the well-to-do
sick to employ the nurse for fifty
cents a visit must be withdrawn.
Henceforth no such cases can be Ia
ken unless the work among the less
favored sick lessons very materially.
This new enterprise, under the aus
pices of the Kings Daughters has
proved even more valuable than at
first anticipated, and the entire time
of the nurse is required for the needy
sick, for which people she was secur-
ed by those who gave our town this
boon.
