to be used by the County Public
Health association during the coming
year Some thing over $500 of this
coming from Mankato and the balance
from the county. Mrs. Patterson and
her well organized committees are
deserving Of the vote of thanks ten

planned out for the county. It is
clearly understood that all nursing is
being done by the Red Cross Still
the educational work along health
lines is left undone and this is the
function of the Health association.
This education comes not by talks but
by actual practical demonstrations.
