cially appreciated and will also be
quoted in tomorrow's issue. A paper
by Miss Emma Long of Grand Forks
| on Typhoid Case in the Country was
full of things interesting to the nurs-
| ing profession and brought out some
new phases of the work and the diff
ficulties which are met with in country
nursing and how to compete with
them. A general discussion followed

with the election of officers and in
Ivitations were extended from Grand

yention: A telegram from Mayor Muir
ply of Grand Forks, written invita-
tion from the commercial club of that
city and a verbal request from the
