Army Nurses Must Be Increased.

According to estimates based on
an Army of 100000 men, $1,000
nurses will be needed. The present
strength of the Army Nurse Corps
of the Medical Department is about
$500. To increase this number by
nearly 1000 per cent in a year is
the task faced by the corps.
Hospitals at Army camps and can
tonments still need nurses to bring
the quota for each up to the mini
mum of 65 considered necessary, al
though since the urgent need for
nurses wasmade public in December
nearly 1000 requests for application
blanks have been received.
In order to get the enrollments up
to the needed number some of the re-
quirements heretofore imposed have
been waived. According to estimates
there are between $4,000 and 10000
registered nurses in the country and
about 100000 other graduate and
practical nurses.

realizing on the west front the vain

The liver, after a winters work,

TO use plentifully the vegetables and
