FINE RECORD OF
VISITING NURSE BODY
kcokuk Stands High in the National
Association Rsnks-Miss Hab-
enicht Deserves Credit.

The Visiting Nurse Association OF
Keokuk has received its utilization pa
pers from the national assoc. alton
The Keokuk association ranks very
high both In point of efficiency and in
the amount of work done. This Is
probably due to the unusual training
Miss Habenicht has had as well as
due to her personality.
The record in Iowa shows that In
many cities the number Of visits made
by the nurse averages sixty month.
The number Of visits made by Miss
Habenicht and the assistant nurses
which the board has provided from
time to time when the work was too
heavy for one to accomplish, Is:
number Of visits made in February, 1856,
in March, 213, April 233, May 230,
June POS, July 159, August 100 and in
September PIP. The whole number
made In eight months is 1871. The
total amount expended for salaries OF
nurses and for material aid has been
s1,053. The Visiting Nurse Associa-
ton, the Ladies of Charity. the Good
Fellows and the county officials have
most cordially cooperated in this
work. The association has reached
people in every walk in life from the
boat houses to the mansions.
All with whom Miss Habenicht has
come in contact are her friends, and
her patients are the best witnesses
to the good work done for those who
are i'll and not able to help them
selves. One of the Keokuk manu-
facturers who has long pay roll, has
observed the work done by the visit
ing nurse among his employees, and In
consequence of that invest cation has
pledged ten dollars month toward
the work of the association.
