/. DIR. Sorkness discussed with the
commission the possibility of using
the city hospital as a place Of con
finement for patients, but action was
not taken. He also discussed the
shortage Of nurses, and told the COM
mission that he made application to
the state board of health for more
nurses to handle the situation in
Fargo, which, he characterized, as
being beyond the doctors and nurses
in the city.
Issue Call for Nurses.
OF a different nature is the imme-
date call which is being sent out in
Fargo for nurses to assist in the
present epidemic. The registered
nurses of the city are available, but
here is a demand far in excess Of
the supply, and the local situation
may be relieved if the women who
have had any experience in home
nursing and who can give few
hours day will send their names
to Mr.. ouise Brown at the Nurses
Registry, 121 Eighth street north
telephone 1410.
There are many situations report
ed in the. city lin great need Of a
small amount of help each day, and
it may make the difference Of many
lives If all the local help that can
be so used will let itself be known.
Mrs. Brown is receiving many calls
each day. and will be able to assign
the work. This is not charitable
work that an appeal is being made
for. The nurses will be paid for
their labor. The need is so great
that any woman of even limited ex-
perience can be of service.
