BABY CLINIC BRINGS
SIXTY INFANTS UNDER Z
\ HEALTH BOARD SCRUTINY
Nominations Disclose Many
Lack Proper Nutritious;
Need for Continuance


The Baby Clinic, held at the Cen
tral school on Saturday, was decided
success in every way. DR.. N. o.
Pearce was unable to come because
he is very busy with his duties in
connection with the Mal-nutrition
Clinic at Minneapolis, Of which he
has charge. DR.. E. Warner of St.
Paul took his place here, assisted by
Miss Christianson, nurse from Min
neapolis.
About sixty children were exam
ined and some very interesting cases
were found, many of the children
being under-nourished. It was found
that there is a need for this clinic
in Bemidji.
Miss Mae MacGregor, county nurse,
says that she has noticed q great diff
ference in her work since the clinics
have been seld. Bemidji plans to
continue these clinics, having them at
intervals of about three months. The
histories of the children, taken by the
special committee, have been sent to
the state board of health, and will
be returned to Miss MacGregor. DR..
Warner said that this was the best
advertised clinic he has attended
throughout the state. This was due
to the cooperation of the city papers
and the local doctors. It was financed
by the Minnesota Public Health asso-
citation and given under the auspices
of the Child Welfare department of
the Women's Civic and Community
club.
The following are the committees
who had charge of the work in con-

ANNUAL MEETING OF
FIRE INSURANCE co.
REFLECTS ITS OFFICERS
ORGANIZATION Declines to Take
Part in Membership of
Twelve Companies

On Saturday afternoon at the High
school building, the Bemidji Mutual
Insurance company held it's annual
meeting.
The bylaws of the company were
unanimously amended removing the
restriction on the amount OF insur-
ance that might be placed upon any
one building. Heretofore no building
could be insured for more than $2OOv.
The amount of insurance that may be
placed on cattle was also increased.
The members decided that the organi-
cation had grown enough that they
might take larger risks than when
they first organized.
Edward Luadtke was elected di-
rector for a term OF two years to sue
ceed Loren Coyle, who resigned be-
cause he expects to move away soon.
E. E. Schulke and August Jarchow
were reelected and Wes Wright elect
ed for term of three years. Wright
succeeds D. A. Whiting, who has been
director for five years.
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing year: President, A.
p. Richie; vice president, J. r..
Swenson; secretary, J. c. McGhee;
treasurer, Nels Willett.
The directors of the company met
in the Court House Saturday forenoon
and transacted routine business. The
auditing committee examined the
books and found them correct. The
committee consisted of E. E. Schulke,
J. E. Swenson and Loren Coyle.
The question of forming larger
organization Of twelve companies for
mutual protection in case of a fire,
like that in the Moose Lake district,
was discussed but the invitation to
do so was refused, as it was consid-
cred that in case Of sucn disaster the
companies would assist each other
as was done last year.
The directors decided not to en-
force the provision of the bylaws re-
quiring that two-thirds of the insur-
ance money received for loss must be
used in rebuilding on the same farm
stead, in the case of Peter Brandvig.
