Automobiles have been loaned to the Board of Health, and It is planned, to use them to take the nurses Swiftly from case to case. At each cse -a teacher will he ieft with thorough instructions on what to do by the nuror. Thus the whole city will' be completely covered tf the scheme works satisfactorily. and fro-n the results toslay. it has been an unqualified success.
