Address to Graduating Nurses
of Homeopathic School Is
Plea for Broader Scope.
WOULD EXTEND PRINCIPLE
OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
New Nurses Home Opened for Use
of Institution Is Gift From
William E. Barker.

Declaring that he believed in what he
called the specialization of medicine. DR.
Harvey w Wiley, in an address to the
graduating class of the Natonai
Homeopathic Hospital School for
Nurses. said he hoped to see the hospi-
tai enlarge its scope SO that people of
all classes could receive the benefit of
skilled treatment. He declared also
that he would have the hospitals run
on the same principle as the public
school. where rich and poor alike could
be treated as rich and poor are edu-
Gated.
The exercises were held on the lawn
adjoining the hospital. at Kirby and
streets northwest. and in connection
with the commencement the new
nurses home, to be known s the Mary
Blaine Barker building, was opened.
The home will be occupied by the stu
dent nurses on Monday for the first
time.
1t has been said, DIR. Wiley declared,
that the people who receive the best
medical attention in the country are
milliona Tres and the INDECENT, but the
hospitals of the future will be for all.
The best service and the most economic
service in time of sickness is at the
hospital. At home, he continued, there
were no facilities for diagnosis-no
X-ray. no pulmotor. no operating room.
Hospitals for all the people, he urged.
He said he hoped to see enough hospi
tails and enough beds to accommodate
the la boring man. who is willing to pay
and doesn't want to be considered a
pauper.

Travers, Alberta, Can.
Dear Friends Mr.. and
Mrs. Whittet:
We received your cards some
time ago but we have been very
busy since we came back from
California and the coast. We
were gone five weeks and had a
splendid trip; we liked it better
than st. Louis. We are think
ing of wintering in California
next winter if we can get some
one suitable to take charge OF
the store.
The children and Mary are
all well; this is a very healthful
climate, it has been 80 to 45 de-
qrees below zero for the last
three weeks and lots of snow so
we feel we have another bumper
crop coming this year.
How would sixty bushels per

which Easter may fall is March
FL and the latest date is April
18th. This year, Ash Wednes-
day will come on March 8 and
Easter Sunday, April %. The
next period in which Ash We'd
nesday will come as late as
March 8, is in the year 21O6 A. D.
The year 1916 began on Sat-
urday and will end on Sunday,
a happening that seldom occurs
and one that gives to the year,
fifty-three Saturdays. This would
occur regularly every twenty
eight years except that the COM
pliers of the Gregorian calendar
provided that centuries not di-
visible by four evenly, shall not
be leap years. Hence, when such
a century appears as did 1900,
there is a lapse Of forty years
between leap years that begin
on Saturday and end on Sunday.
From this year on, the twenty
eight year period proceeds &C
cording to the established rule.
Easter last year came on April
4. In 1914 or 1913 it fell upon
the earliest day possible and lent
was early in February. Thus
within a span of a few years we
have the phenomenon of having
it fall on the earliest possible
day as we'll as the latest possible
day.

acre of No. l wheat look to you
folks back there with your frost
ed corn crop? My average yield
was ffty-nine bushels wheat on
the whole farm and the price to-
day is $1.O8 per bushel. How is
that :? Lots of young homestead
ers are leaving for the U. S. A.
for fear Of being drafted and are
offering their farms for $1,000
to 1900, some are very good
farms, too. A farmer here sued
the Irrigation Co. for $4,000
damages, and in court had ten
farmers swear my farm was
worth $4,000 per acre, so you
will see | have a very good farm
or else ten to fifteen hundred is
very cheap for those farms.
We have a nice small town Of
four general stores, two hard
ware stores, two restaurants, one
gents furnishing store, two lum-
Der yards, three elevators and
about twenty-five residences, but
no school yet. If we don't get
school soon we will have to
send Nellie off to school some
where as she passed the eighth
grade examination last June and
that is as high as they teach in
the country schools here.
| am afraid you went to Cali
fornia in the wrong time of the
year; we like it very much there
but think we can make more
money here.
l threshed 5000 bushels of
wheat in September and had ev-
cry granary full and have some
more to thresh in the spring, al
so 4,400 bushels Of oats and have
as many more to thresh yet, but
we are in no hurry to thresh as
the elevators are all full and we
can't get cars to ship.
Well must close and hope to
see you folks out here this sum-
mer. AS ever your friend.
