PROPOSALS INVITED FOR
BUILDING NURSES HOME

Recently all local contractors and
builders have been invited by the
Board of Managers of the Annapolis
Emergency Hospital to furnish pro-
posals and bids for building the new
Nurses Home on Franklin street. on
the lot owned by the hospital adjoin-
ing the present hospital building, near
Acton"
The Board has decided to build an
unpretentious Home for Nurses, feel
ing the great need of such a building.
II is impossible to secure young
girls to train for nurses, unless prop
er housing accommodations can be of
fered.
These the Emergency Hospital is
lacking, and to provide Home where
the pupil nurses may find rest and
comfort when off duty is the desire
of the hospital management. With
out such Home it is impossible to
obtain applicants for pupil nurses.
The Board of Managers is fortunate
in having Miss Wohlgemuth as Head
Nurse and superintendent, for the
Nurses Home will be under her
splendid executive supervision and ef-
ficient management.
The Emergency Hospital does not
stand alone in the way of being un-
able to obtain the needed corps of
trained nurses. for this at present is
the condition that confronts nearly
every hospital in the country.

his wife money to join him in El Sen
tro, Cal. The same year he gave her
a lavalliere as a Christmas present.

sending her money for her railroad
fare. Later she ascertained that the
lavalliere had been paid for with a
diamond ring which her brother had
given her and which she intrusted to
her husband to be repaired
Mrs. Billingsley said that she OBJ
tanned a position as stenographer in
the office in El Centre where her hus-
band was employed, but she left when
he was discharged. They had pooled
their earnings and put the surplus in

drew all of it and she had to send
to her mother for money to get back
home subsequently, she added, her
husband obtained a position as an
automobile salesman in Washington,
but became financially involved.

At a joint meeting of the subcom-
mittees of the State and Municipal
Memorial Commissions held yester-
day afternoon in the office of Comp
troller Brooke Lee, COS Union Trust
Building, Baltimore. the decision was
made that both Maryland and Balti-
more shall have one large memorial
to Maryland soldiers who fell in the
World War.
1t was also agreed upon at the
meeting that the memorial, whatever
it may be. will be established in Bal
timore. There has been strong OBJ
lection in some parts of the state
against having the memorial erected
in the city, but for several reasons
this is fast disappearing. In the first
place it was pointed out that the city
is more centrally located than any
other in the state. Another reason
is that each county would find 1T inn
possible to erect an imposing struc-
ture. Col. Sherlock Swami acted as
chairman at the joint meeting.

HqUshNlS HAVE
KIDNEY TROUBLE AND
never SUSPECT IT
Applicants For Insurance
Often Rejected.

Judging from reports from drug
gists who are constantly in direct
touch with the public, there is one
preparation that has been very sue
cessful in overcoming these condi-
lions. The mild and healing intlu
ence of DR.. Ki,mer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. IT stands the highest
for it's remarkable record of success.
An examining physician Tor one OF
the prominent Life Insurance Com
panies, in an interview Of the subject
made the astonishing statement that
one reason why so many applicants
for insurance are rejected is because
kidney trouble is so common to the
American people, and the large ma
ioritY of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that
they have the disease. Or. kilmer's
Swamp-Root is on sale at all drug
stores in bottles OF two sizes, medium
End large.
However, if YOU wish first to test
this great preparation send ten cents
