Japknese nurses,' wit h two phBiciana, . an interpreter and . a. i business manager, have passed through the United States on their way to the war in Europe. They were hailed with enthusiasm all along the route from San Francisco to New York. They expect to be en gaged in work near Southampton, England, ; but may go to the conti nent later. . Nursing has come to . be quite a popular profession for women in Ja pan.

This means, therefore, that ' the American : mills will have practically no competition at home, and will be needed to take' care of the' surplus orders ' for the foreign armies. Snowdrift $2.00. .
