 There are many people In Plain vile who during the past year have been profoundly grateful for the services rendered by the visiting nurse, Miss Katherine Daly. Those who have not been i'll and who have not required her services personally |, also consider themselves fortunate for her work in the suppression of sickness. II Is believed that her work is absolutely necessary for the gcn- "ral health of the community. , The financial aid to carry on the service has been extended by a very I small proportion of plainvilc's citi-
 Zens. It is hoped that the response , will Dc more general within the next
 few days.
