ha.- returned fi om overseas service,
j has resumed the practice of medicine
and has opened offices with Dr. J.

graduate of Meharry medical college,
Nashville, Tenn. He was among the
first to volunteer for the officers’
training camp at Camp Dodge, Des
Moines, where he made an excellent
record and won his commission. He
sewed with the Ninety-second division
in France, where he gave a good ac
count of himself.
Wednesday evening he and Dr. Hill
entertained the business and profes
sional men of Omaha at a delightful
stag and smoker. Good fellowship
reigned supreme.
