DAKOTA DEAcoNESs HOSPITAL

The work at the hospital progresses
steadily. The number of patients in
creases and the care given is proving
highly satisfactory to both physicians
and patients.
Two graduate women are now in
charge of the nursing. Miss Mae Belle
Kellogg of Chicago, a graduate of
Wesley Hospital, and Miss Emma Mo-
berg graduate of the Montana Deacon
ess Hospital at Great Falls. Miss
Kellogg has had abundant experience
having served in the Deaconess Hos
pital, st. Joseph, Mo, as head surgical
nurse: in the Deaconess Hospital in
Toledo, Ohio, as experimenting nurse,
and later as superintendent of the
Woman's and Children's Hospital in
Saginaw, Mich. She was also nurse
deaconess for several years in Chica-
go, coming in contact with every
phase of city life, especially among
the lowly.
Miss Moberg has also had experience
in hospital work, having filled the
place of night supervisor in the large
d~eaconess hospital at Great Falls
after finishing the three year course
which that institution gives its pupil
nurses. To her other accomplishments
she adds knowledge of the Norwegian,
Swedish and Danish languages with
enough German to understand a pa
TENTS needs. Miss Emma Rodenfels,
who has so willingly and efficiently
taken charge of the nursing until the
permanent force could arrive leaves
for Wichita, Kansas, where she will
resume private nursing. The graft
tude of all who have known her here
goes with Miss Rodenfels.
Aside from the actual work Of car
ing for the sick the hospital force are
busy with the problems of finance.

SHOWING VAGARIES OF FAME
How Rublnsteln, at the Height Of
emfnence, Refused Offer That
Meant Great Distinction.

Teresa Carreno. the eminent WON,
an pianist, INDUCING in "reminiscences
of her career of fifty years before the
public. tells a story of Tschaikowsld
and Rubinstein. which, in one respect,
is Illuminating.
Rubinstein, the great Russian mas,
ter, composer and performer of his
time, is seated in his study when
Tschaikowski arrives and humbly
asks permission to dedicate to the
great man a concerto for piano and or.
chestra. Rubinstein examines the
composition hastily; flies into a ter.
rible rage; shakes his leonine head
and asks the affrighted Tschaikowski
how he dares to offer to dedicate this
trash" to man of such eminence.
Thereupon, Tschaikowsh leaves the
house, and by chance, meeting the
conductor Won Bulow. offers him the
dedication, which is accepted.
Observe the mutations of time!
Rubinstein was great musician, re
markable performer, but not com
poser of the first rank by any means.
Tschaikowsh has sprung into the first
rank of composers and is generally re-
garded by musicians as one of tho
greatest musical geniuses Russia has
produced.
A dedication by him of one of his
works is in itself title to unusual dis
tinction, and will make for the per-
petuation of any ones fame. while. as
the years bring lessening of memory
of Rubinstein's wonderful playing. his
reputation is bound to diminish.
Thus. even the pet of fortune and
circumstances can afford to be cour-
teous, for posterity often rewards cour-
tesy and properly Furnishes overween-
ing self-esteem.

About ten years ago a Japanese re,
searcher, Takamine, in the laboratory
Of Columbia university. made the dis.
covery that a certain substance, se-
GREETED by a gland of the OK or sheep.
when injected into the blood of other
animals. had the power of greatly in
oreasing their blood pressure and con-
seQuently their vitality. He called this
substance adrenalin and succeeded in
refining 1t to light yellow crystals.
When the suprarenal glands which Sc
crete this substance were removed by
an operation from the living animals,
they invariably died, showing that 1t
was necessary to the life of the AMI
mails. However, only small quantities
are needed by the animal, and hence
but little In secreted by the glands.
and then only in very weak condition,
being mixed with other substances.
The crystals are pure and have ex-
tremely great power. One part OF the
