ance In a nearby town some time ago.
While seated at the dinner table his
attention was called to the fact that

TO punish the daughter for some DISC
neulcnce and, wishing to mako a.,
PUNISHMENT severe, he had Forbidden
H'r 10 eat anything excepting brea Il
ana water TOR one week. But. ar,or
"he day of the allotted time for tbc
punishment had passed, the fathers
ipve for the child was too great =,
allow him to see her suffer alone ana
nc therefore took II upon himself

taking part in the punishment. Rev
I'chlel used this as an illustration OF
"ods divine love for humanity. WIN

erection of a reiormatory for the Dis
trict of Columbia within 10 miles OF

VISITING NURSE FOR ALEXAN-
DRIA.

Alexandria is soon to take place
among the progressive cities OF the com
monwealth in the war against consump
ton, if the plans Of the Red Cross So,
ciety are carried out. A visiting nurse
will be employed to instruct families II
the prevention OF disease and to direct
measures by which the spread OF con-
sumption will be stopped.
The Red Cross Society, which Is COM
posed OF representative young women
OF the city, has been making plans LOT
the employment Of nurse Tor some
months, bat has only been able, dur
ing the last few days, to assure tue sue
cess OF the plan. Congressman Carlln
has volunteered to pay large part OF
the expenses OF the nurse Tor the nrst
wear and has thus enabled the society
to proceed. =.
1t is expected by those familiar with
health conditions here that q visiting
nurse, working in connection with a
tuberculosis dispensary, will be a great
factor in reducing the spread OF con-
sumption as we'll IS in caring for those
who have the disease. The success oil
the tuberculosis dispensaries in Rich
mond and elsewhere, and the splendid
work accomplished by visiting nurses
in o.her cities has convinced the Red
Cross Society that the new plan will be
a real municipal asset and will result IN
great good.
