pair Just as the effort is made IN
repairing ship to anticipate loss and
disaster, so the work Of the modern
Naval surgeon is directed as far as
possible toward sanitation and preven-

| in Toledo, Ohio, in 1864. And be-
| came Chief of the Bureau of Medicine
and Surgery in February. 1914, after
a record of distinguished service at
home and abroad. He has been twice
decorated by foreign rulers. Wher-
ever he has come in contact with
civilian members of the profession,
from university TO operating room, his
ability has made itself felt. He grad

Physicians and Surgeons. of New
York, as an honor man. Today he Is
fellow OF the American College OF
Surgeons. a member of the American
Academy of Medicine, of the Central
Committee of the American Red Cross,
is Vice-President of the Board or Di-
rectors of Columbia Hospital, Wash
ington, and is an honorary member OF
a number of civilian medical societies
and associations.
For one year during the admins
tration OF President Roosevelt he
served with Dr. RiXey as attending
physician to the White House.

he has attained his greatest prom
inence. After graduation he spent
four and half years in hospital and
private practice at Bellevue and else
where and in 1890 entered the Navy
as assistant surgeon. He served aboard
many vessels, including the notorious
old dynamite cruiser "Vesuvius." the
Topeka" the celebrated battleship

A FINE ENTERTAINMENT.

The musical given last week Thurs
day evening at the Congregational
Church, under the auspices of the
Wauwatosa Council of Defense, was
most enjoyable and Melted $500 for
the benefit of the suffering Armenians.
Mrs. Georgia Hall-Quick gave several
beautiful and wonderfully expressive
selections, making the piano nearly
talk under her sldllful fingers. Her
renditions were surely treats for
any lover of music. Miss Rlinor
Schweitzer gave two vocal selections
which brought out her clear sweet
voice beautifully, and We're much APP
preciated by the audience Mrs. J..
Gamble-W hittemore, in her violin
solo, showed her mastery of her in
strument and in response to her
hearty and prolonged encore from the
house, she gave a beautiful duet ar
arrangement "Old Black joe" Mrs. O.
+. Schmidtill of our own city, and so
well known, gave three selections,
each one exceptionally well rendered
in her clear high tones. Mrs. j. NJ
Mulvey, who needs no introduction to
a Wauwatosa audience, and Mrs. j.
Cargill, of Milwaukee, acted as ac-
companists during the program, each
filling her place most efficiently. This
musical was the first one of a series
of three concerts to be given in the
very near future, all proceeds to go
to the suffering Armenians. Every
one who takes part in these programs
is giving the services gratis, and it is
up to our citizens to turn out en-
masse and give out little bit of money
in appreciation. The next program
will be given next week Friday even
ing, April 26, at the High School. The
main feature of the evening will be
"The Toy Symphony Orchestra" of the
Tuesday Musical Club. Miss Clemen-
tine Malek will be the soprano soloist;
Mrs. WrangeH, violinist; Mr.. Philip
Nolte, cellist; Mrs Huntly-W herry,
pianist; Mrs. j. M. Mulvey, accom-
PIANIST. Remember the date and be
there.

Not in many years, perhaps not in the history of Nome has a more de- | lightful public entertainment taken place in the city than occurred at Eagle Chapter No. 7S, Women of Mooseheart Legion staged their Indoor Picnic. And the Nugget is quite confident not since the old town was spot on the map have the local devotees of Terp- sichore enjoyed themselves amid more beautiful surroundings. Flowers were everywhere; great garlands of beauti- full blossoms were hung in vari-colored loops and festoons along the wide, overhanging balcony--the proscenium arch was outlined with a wealth of gay posies, while the boxes were con- verted into rose hung bowers-fit bodes for the smiling Venus who dis pcnsed delectable sweets from within their lowered depth. Gay colored Chinese lanterns cast their mellow glow from amid the flowers and softly shaded lamps of crimson and purple the colors of the Mooseheart order diffused their radiance over the scene. And over all, the golden moon shed it's beams in glorious radiance. In the center of the wide hall a blossoming apple tree spread forth it's flower decked branches in a way to remind one of Life's early years and the pris- tine joys of Youth. On the north end of the hall. fronting the stage, was

 And, judging by the look of pleasure on the countenances of the two hun- dred or more attendants, the gods of Milth surely took up their abode in the hall for the evening. Gay laughter rang in merry ripples above the sweet strains of the ochestra and bright eyes shone with the light of pleasure and gay spirits. Fruit punch was served by a pair of bright eyed Maids in one
