oEAcoNEss HOSPITAL REPORT

The motto of the Dakota Deaconess
Hospital, Not to be Ministered Unto
but to Minister" has been followed
in a most pleasing manner according
to the report of last year.
The hospital has been laboring un-
der many restraints, as Is the case
with practically all similarly founded
institutions, but the progress made
during 1915 is remarkable. Hospitals
doing free work must of necessity de-
pend on the generosity Of the public
for donations to carry on their work.
As a rule few institutions make money
and 1t is only natural that they do not,
for they are created not as money
makers but agencies for the relief and
cure of human ills.
A brief report Of the Dakota Dea-
coness Hospital for the year 1915 has
been made out by Miss Helen Wood,
superintendent, which reads as fol-
lows:
Number OF patients in hospital Jan.

Doctor Has 10000 Patients.

DIR. Wilfred Grenfell, who is in
charge of a division of the hospital
unit that has been sent to France by
Harvard university, has been termed
"the doctor with the biggest practice
in the world" says the London
Globe.
The phrase is accurate enough, for
his work as missionary among the
fishermen in the northwest Atlantic
has made him responsible for the ply
sical as well as the spiritual welfare
of some 10000 men. AS a medical su-
perintendent of the Mission to Deep

ROYAL VISIT WORKED WONDER
Wounded Italian Officer Recovered
Speech in His Surprise at Seeing
King Beside Him.

The king of Italy has been respon-

nary occurrences of the war. His
majesty has been constant in his Wis
its to the wounded soldiers, and one
day he arrived quite unexpectedly at
a certain field hospital.
Among the patients there was a
young lieutenant who had been strick-
en- quite dumb by the bursting of an
Austrian shell. The poor fellow was
lying in bed feeling very miserable,
when, all Of sudden, he glanced up
and found the king standing by his
side.
In moment he stared up in amaze
ment at the unexpected honor, and
shouted at the top of his voice:
His majesty the king!" and burst
into flood of tears.
The emotional shock, coming as it
did, so Unexpectedly, had completely
restored his power of speech, and
even the king himself was overcome
by emotion at this extraordinary mir

Ocean Eats Away the Land.

Little children who played on the
beach last summer would be surprised
if they should go back to the same
place in few years to find it quite
changed. Old Ocean is not satisfied
with the shore as it is, and he keeps
pounding at it all the year round, but
hardest in the winter. Down near
Baltimore the ocean sometimes comes
80 feet farther up in a year. At Rock
away Beach, Long Island, the coast
line has moved back a mile in 20
years. At certain place on the At
lantic City beach the ocean took 76
acres away from one owner and put Sc
acres on another mans shore land, all
in ten years. Orchards and even for
ests disappear before the onward
marching sand.-From John Martins
