NURSING SERVICE IS
RAPIDLY EXPANDING
I
This; American Red Croat Work
Flourishing in Small Towns
U Throughout Country. (
p-
More thnn 87,000 graduate nurses
hue been enrolled In the American
Ited Cross to date and lta department
of nursing Is dally Increasing1 this en
rollment. The department of nursing has been
authorized to maintain an adequate
reserve of nurses tor the array and
nary. It will continue to supply Die
needs of tu United States Public
Health Service to which It lias as
signed more than 1,000 nnrscs In the
last year.
It will nsslst In establishing proper
nursing service In foreign countries
where the American Hod Cross lias or
ganized hospitals, dispensaries nnd
ibchools f6r nurses'. Courses in Home
hygiene nnd care of the sick haVe been
started for tllousitndK of women who
Iihc necr received any cdUcutlon In
this direction. Itural n ursine which
Mas In Its Infancy n short while ago
has been put abend at least a decade
through the work of the department
of nursing and local lied Cross
chapters.
Public health nursing has been ex
tended to many 'rural' communities and
now flourishes actively In hundreds of
small towns nnd counties. Nearly a
thousand efficient nurses have, already
been assigned to this kind of work.
The department of nursing Is unit
log with other organizations In a year's
campalga In recruiting: nurses for
training schools, In educating the gen
eral public as to standard of nursing
education and In showing communities
their responsibility1 toward schools of
nursing. It will endeavor to meet nil
these needs ns well as to continue the
enrollment of dietitians who will he
utilized as Instructors In home (dietet
ics, In developing nutritional clinics,
and In supplying dietitians for the
United States Public Health Service
and Clio civilian hospitals. ""
The Nursing Service will continue to
offer to women and young girls tbo
opportunity of securing Instruction In
home hygiene and cars of the sick In
every community in the country, This
Instruction lias not only laid the foun
dation for public health but in some
placet has given Impetus to the estab
lishment of hospitals and community
fcchoot houses.
"As a -community profits by the work
of r the narse,!' vayn Miss Clara T.
Noyes, director -of the' department of
nursing, "it Is logical that' the com
munity should be aroused to Its respon
sibility. The American lied Cross
stands ready to help In a general cam
paiga of recruiting and must have the
support, sympathy and understanding
of the medical profession as well as
the Intelligent co-operation of the
people at targe.'

HOME SERVICE FOR
EVERYBODY IN NEED
De you know what the present day
nf&e' Service of the American lied
CymM
saiiyi-people'do notwknow that, be

men, especially the disabled, It pro
tides the same neighborly service to
funjtlles In general that It formerly
gave families of soldiers, sailors und
warles.
flocae 'Service covers a wide and

Jn Addition to helping families In
the solution of their own problems,
HoHie Service helps lit strengthening
the 'weak' spots lh the social life of
communities. It joins hands with oth
ers to make communities safer,
healthier -and' happier.
Organizing action along lines In
which the community Is already Inter
ested Is one of the objects of Home
Service. It has established community
meetings, patriotic celebrations, pag
eant aud picnics. Jtfcst rooms, recre

moving pictures have been provided.
Through Homo Service other agencies

"People used to be less particular
about time, of course, than we )ine
grown to be, with our famous exacti
tude. The old English Htage conch
left 'at four but that meant 'at about
four.' Only noon could be depended
uponand that vh,wi the sun chose J
to shine. Clocks did not come Into
use In Europe until the Thirteenth
century. Portable clocks were not In
vented until toward the end of the
Fifteenth, but win dials were very
commonly worn not set up In gardens
merely, ns we are ucciistomcd to see
ing them now. They wero used quite
generally In this country until the
rnrly part of the Nineteenth century,
nnd even today, where conditions lire
primitive, they ore tho reliance of
gulrles and huntsmen. Occasionally
they become fh timepieces of tho
Ilrltlflh army In uninhabited regions.

How People Die In India.
A return of the number of Inquests
held by tho coroner of Uombny during
1011) gives m some very Interesting
particulars. Among the "suicide" we
find that six cut their throats, 28
drowned themselves, four hnuged
themselves, 15 jumped out or windows,
20 took opium, arsenic or home other
poison, four shot themselves nnd
eight burned themselves. Drowning,
therefore, took pride of place last
ear, whereas self-poisoning was the
favorlto method of quitting llfo In
1018, there being 21 cases reported.
Other suicidal practices mentioned In
the report are stabbing nnd tho net of
knocking one's head against a wall.
No ono has favored either of these
methods during the past two yeatji,
however.

Thu income tax as it applies to

forth In the new farm account book
of tho Nebraska College of Agricul
ture. Tho income tax report forms,
and tho application of thu law were
worked out in co-operation with the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
and the United States Depaitment
of Agriculture and accordingly boar
tho oiricinl stamp of wpproval. Tho
book provides for both tho inventory
and tho casn receipts ami uisourso

systems. Duplicate pages ae pro

studying the farm business, together
with all tho other advantages of a

shows that ten hens luid 18 or more
eggs each during that month, nnd
live of these laid '20 or more, with
the highest layer producing 24 eggs.
These pullets ore not given any mir
aculous care, but do Have proper
feeding and housing, and also arn
well bred. Good breeding plus prop
er care produces eggs. The College
has gathered statistics from 25 coun
ties on tho work of its extension
poultry specialists in culling non
layers fiom farm flocks. Eight
hundred and thirty-six flocks con
taining 91,902 birds were culled,
32,404 poor layers being removed.
The production of the flocks before
culling was 16,629, nnd after more
than one-third of the birds wore re
moved It was 16,385. These figures
speak for themselves as to tho econ
omy of reducing every flock to the
good layers.
Ileus Respond to (food Cure
That it Is possible to inako hens
lay during tho winter months in dem
onstrated by the egg-laying contest
conducted at tho State College of Ag
riculture. The November report
llutter and Hrks Hold Up
Rutter and eggs are two agricul
tural sidelines which have added im
portance since the drop in grain and
stock prices. Neither have shown
much tendency to slump. Eggs tiro
still bringing farmers more than 50
cents a dozen and butter-fat is hold
ing up fairly well. The farmer that
has a flock of good laying pullets or
who is milking a hulf dozen good
cows muy leullze more profit there
from thnn ftom his wheat or corn.
At least he will have u steady income
during the winter that is well worth
while. Recent reports show that
farmers who sejl milk are receiving
about 70 cents a hundred pounds
more .than at this timo last year,
taking into consideration tho price
of feed.
