Rev. c. L. Hubbard, of ST. Paul's NJ. E.
Church, said that as evidence of the in
sincerity Of those physicians who were
attempting to have the Klair law re-
pealed was their refusal to accept the
amendment proposed by the Prohibition
Enforcement Officer and the Anti-Saloon
League and their attempt to push through
a bill the purpose of which was to wipe
from the statute books all prohibition
enforcement laws.
Referring to the protests against the
repeal which had been voiced by several

COUNTY NURSES REPORT FOR
OCCORER

During October 10 schools were ex
amined, with total Of 355 pupils
Notices were sent home to the parents
of IL children.
Miss Worden is finding considerabi.
eye, tonsil, adenoid and decayed tectt
conditions among these pupils and sug
gests that the parents take care of tht
matter without delay.
On October 9, a very successful clin.
ic, eye, ear, nose and throat, was held
at Cushing. Over 10 children from the
surrounding country were examined by
DR.. M. w. Wheeler of St. Paul. This
clinic was not held under the suvcrvls-
ion of the Minnesota Public Health AS
sociation, but was given by Mrs. G. A.
Weyerha euser, who is immensely inter
ested in the county nurses work. AS
a result of this clinic, 45 notices and ID
visits were sent and made. Miss Word
en- feels that if the parents take care of
these defects in the children, the local
will be kept busy. She
leaves November II for Phalen Park
hospital, St. Paul, with three other
cripplcs, who will be examined by DR..
Gill and probably be placed in the in
stitution for operative work. At pres
ent, two little people have been made
we'll and will return to their homes on
that day. Miss Worden is finding a
number of mental defects of all ages,
epilepsy, feeble minded, ETC., and is
trying to induce the relatives and par
ents to put these patients. in the proper
institutions. This means considerably
deail, considerable education and an un'
limited amount of patience.
The county nurse wishes to thank the
people for the generous response to the
for clothing and the things she
asked for.
