crime johnson, r. n. Redwood Coun-
ty Visiting Nurse, there viii be a

day Thursday July IT, Dr.. Huenekins
the noted baby specialist of Minnea-
polls will be the physician in charge.
DIR. Huenekins is one Of the best
known baby specialists in the North
west and his advice will be Of the
greatest value to the parents OF any
child.
The clinic is absolutely free of
charge and a thorough physical ex-
animation will be made of all children
up to five years of age who are on
hand at any time during the day.
DR.. Huenekins will advise with the

would be benefited by such an exam
nation are urged to be on hand at
this clinic.
