Sanitarium News Items

THE Nashville (Tenn.) Sanitarium recently graduated a class of four nurses, the members of which were Hattie Bennett, of Mississippi, and Velma Scarbrough, Lucy Williamson, and Thomas Woodruff, of Texas. Miss Scarbrough is now matron of the Nashville Sanitarium. Miss Williamson has accepted the position of head nurse in the Orlando (Fla.) Sanitarium.

Miss Helen V. Price, who has done acceptable work in connection with the Nashville and Graysville Sanitariums, has taken the matronship of the Hinsdale Sanitarium.

Ida Simmons Whitney, who has given several years of faithful service to our sanitarium work in the South, has been obliged to seek health for herself, going to the State of Washington. Encouraging word of her improvement is returned.

This summer the sanitarium at St. Helena, Cal., has enjoyed the largest patronage of its history. The Lord has prospered the work, and his blessing has been manifest in many ways. Dr. Myrtle B. Hudson has recently connected

with the institution, taking her place on the faculty, and filling the office of secretary of the training-school. Dr. Hudson will continue the work laid down by Dr. Maria L. Edwards.

Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Whitney, who have been faithful workers in the St. Helena Sanitarium for years, having carried the head nurse's work in their respective departments for nine years, have severed their connection with the work for a much-needed rest, and have gone for the present to their ranch at Salida, Cal. Their helpfulness and kindly Christian influence will be greatly missed in the sanitarium family. Mr. A. V. Williams, who has carried similar responsibilities in our Eastern institutions, will take the place vacated by Mr. Whitney. Miss Helen N. Rice, formerly head nurse, and secretary of the training-school, at Boulder, Colo., but who has for two years past been a member of the St. Helena Sanitarium family, will succeed Mrs. Whitney in the training-school and lady nurses' department.

Dr. H. P. Rand, of the St. Helena Sanitarium, makes weekly visits to the dispensary in San Francisco. Brother C. E. Moon and wife have charge of the work there, at 916 Laguna Street, and much good is being accomplished.
