W. C. A. parlors showed that the work is of such a quality and quantity that it has become one of the essentials of the city. Acting philanthropically, these nurses have done untold good among the poor sick and needy, as the re- port will show, The nurses had 729 cases which they attended during the past twelve months, and of these 295 were char- ity cases. Payment of some amount was received in 118 cases. The nurses had 316 cases for a life insur- ance company and made 1,516 sep- arate visits for the company. Of the 729 cases attended, twenty-five were removed to. the hospital for treat- ment and thirty patients subsequently died. Those at whose homes calls were made and were discontinued as the patient had either’ recovered or was convalescent numbered 669 and on December 1 the nurses had thirty patients under observation. ‘This vear’s work necessitated the three nurses making 7,132 separate visits. The work of the visiting nurses is nonsectarian and is not confined to any one nationality, twenty different nationalities having been represented among their patients during the year. The nurses also assisted at 137 ma- ternity cases, two of which were twins. Another example showing the work done by these willing nurses is that they gave 3,600 baths to patients in the past twelve months. A partial list of the more important cases in which the nurses administered is herewith given: Pneumonia, 21; accl- dent, 21; grip, 27; ileocolitis, 25; rheumatism, 15; measles, 16; surgi- 115; dressing of surgical wounds, 1,649; and in 72 cases they acted as assistants at operations. At present the quarters of the Visiting Nurses' association are at 247 Chestnut sjre. but after January 1 they will be at the Boy club building at the corner of Center and East Main streets. | PREDICT TRIAL OF CHURCH MEMBERS | Pastor Criticizes Those Who Caused Trouble at People’s Church. of Christ. The Greenwood meetings at the People’s Church, Court street, made a advance yesterday. The af- ternoon meeting lasted from 3 till 5, with three periods of an hour each, the pastor leading the first, and Rev. Lyman S. Johnson and Mr. Green- wood the two others. The subject was “Prayer,” and each period was closed with earnest prayer for the meetings. Pastor Harrithan introduced the subject of God's searching Christians, and stated that all who had any part in the recent trouble in the church are sure to be tried during these days: and “woe betide the soul that seeks to escape God.” Meetings continue as announced. At the evening meeting tomorrow the Sunshine Chorus of children will sing.

As a result of the ilocal boycott on butter and eggs, which is fostered by the Woman Suf- frage association, local merchants are facing the probability of a retaliatory ban by Kentucky farmers against all products manufactured in or offered for sale through this city. This is the warning brought by Geoffrey Morgan, United States ex- pert in charge of county agriculture agents in Kentucky, who has just com- pleted a tour of the state. He stated that the sentiment among the farmers is bitter against Louisville on account of the boycott, and that the ban on butter and eggs is, in their opinion, equivalent to being blacklisted. No advance in Coffce. New York, Dec. T.—Despite the in- roasting coffee and putting it into packages for the retail trade, it is not likely that the retail price will be advanced. according to Ross Weir, one of the conferees at a meeting of the coffce trade repre- sentatives. of New Engiand, Philadel- phia, Baltimore and New York here vesterday. “There is plenty of coffee in the United States.” Mr. Weir said, “and while it costs us more than a year ago It is not so high as to warrant an advance in the retail price of coffee in packages. There are great stores of coffee in England and France and T believe the supply is sufficient to last countries until the end of the creased cost of BRATE ANNIVERSARY. exercises to v of thé organization, Fitting fifth annivers were held by the Lady Turner society A A soc completed officers for the ensuir year w e {named ata the business meeting, | follo dent, Carl Rohr- berg; vice president, Mrs. Bruno Hent- schel; secretary, Mrs. William Schar- man; treasurer, Mrs. Herman Vater; financial secretary, Mrs. Charles Neu- rath; auditing committee, Mrs. Charles Hipp, Mrs. Henry Ramm and Mrs. Herman Vogel. followed hy am.
