Ohio, went to Fort Wayne this morning to call on Mrs. Jones, who has been a patient at the St Joseph bosuital. Two weeks ago today she underwent an operation tor gall stones and appendicitis, and is recovering nicely though still unable to be up. She will probably be able to come home in two or three weeks.
