tarday morning at the Nurse Home,
s33 South Cherry street.
Miss Minor. superintendent. re-
port that during November, the

tents. OF the dismissed patients 1s4
were cured. 1877 improved; 10 died
and 8 were sent to the hospitals
There were 80 new babies among
them several sets nf twins.
There were. many changes on. the
staff during the month. ThreSof the
nurses left to start work in other
6elds. Two have gone to Texas and
enc to Florida to help in the tuber-
culoris work The places are now
dIled, but owning to the difficulty in
getting nurses. ii was deemed wise to
All one OF the vacancies with col
cred nurse and turn all the colored
work over to the four colored nurses.
Two more Industrial nurses were also
put on One with the Life Insurance,
Company of Virginia, and one at the
Chesapeake g. Ohio railway Office.
The social service nurse reported
LAB patients having been referred to
her at the dispensary during the
month. Twelve were referred to the
L v. N. A., 80 admitted to hospitals,

20 hospitals. i12 visits were made to
The homes in the follow-up work.
The industrial nurse at Whitlock $
reported TEA patients to whom Els

Through the kindness OF outside
friends many Of the patients were re-
mernbered on Tha nksgfvinE. The

cost of living Christmas cheer will be
lacking in many OF these homes
