An air Of nominees of the best sort
pervaded the headquarters of the

terday afternoon, The cries of mite
of a baby brought in by an anxious
mother, gave action to the scene while
DR.. F. S. Clark, advising physician, ad-
justed the scale. Miss Dennison, visit
ing nurse who has charge of the sta
ton, stood by.
II guess nine pounds and two
ounces will do" Mr.. Clark said to the
mother after several tries. "But
that's not enough weight for the
child" He gave instructions as to
nursing and caring for the child. The
mother smiled thankfully, asked a
few questions and left. 1t was the
second case and another information
card was added to the, small file on
the desk. For a time it looked as if
the day would be void of cases at all.
I'm not discouraged in the least"
Miss Dennison said, but l realize it
is going to be big task properly to
cover the South Side. There are so
many nationalities and our only
means of letting the mothers here
knowof our work is by pamphlet. At
present we have pamphlets printed In
only three languages. Bohemian,
Polish and English:
Spreading the News.
Over at the West Side school Dr..
Newell Jones, who is in charge of
the uptown North Twenty-fourth
street station, made talk to a num-
Der of mothers gathered together
with the help of Mrs. Bourne, local
representative of the Associated
Charities. A fair sized crowd at
tended which means that the Visiting
Nurse station will probably be well
patronized next Saturday. DR.. Jones
emphasized the wonderful work that
is being accomplished through The
Bees free milk campaign. Ali money
given to this fund is turned over and
handled by the visiting nurses.
Otto Under Released.

laborer in the employ of the street
railway company, who was working
