"a pronounced success" is the
way the boys of Company K describe
the military ball given at the armory
last Tuesday evening.

Adjutant General of Minnesota and
Commander of all National Guard
troops in the state and Colonel Brady
is the U. S. property and disbursing

had been dropped and they entered
into the fun of the evening with the
same zest that was shown by the
members of the company.
All the members were given an op-
portunity to shake hands with the
distinguished guests during the eve
ming.
Before the dance the visitors met

Health Nurse Here One Year

February 7th marked the close Of
the first years work of county
health nurse in Stevens county
Miss Irene Labrie arrived in Morris
February 9Th, 1920, and began work
among the pupils in the schools in
the county On February 7th. Dur
ing the year she has labored faith
fully to improve health conditions
among the children. An appallingly
large number of physical defects have
been detected and many corrected.
The milder cases have been treated
by the nurse but in the majority of
cases the child has been referred to
a physician, dentist or oculist, as
the case demanded. Many defects
in children have thus been cured
that otherwise would have been al
lowed to remain unattended until
great suffering and in some cases
lifelong ailing would result.
The defect most commonly OBJ
served in school children is poor
teeth; while throat and nose trou-
BILE vie for second place. Defective
sight and hearing have also been cor
rected in a large number of cases.
1t is too early yet, says the nurse,
to notice any far-reaching results
from the work done, but, she adds,
if the coming year shows as much
progress as the interest shown by a
majority of the people in the county
results will be gratifying.
