This is a splendid way to give prac-

time.

In the worlroom where the gauz
dressings are being made, the classe

Nora Wells was also busy all day i
the cutting room. An idea of tn
work that the classes in surgics

when one realizes that more tina
seven hundred and fifty yards O
gauze have already been made up q
