HOW CHRISTMAS WAS OBSERV.
ED IN NASHVILLE.

Commensurate with the former Gel
ebrations at the Merry Christmas
tide. commemorating the glorious
birth of thre Christ-child the Christ
mas spirit in Nashville was pregnant
with a desire on the part of every
one to bring good cheer and hearty
greetings to ALL especially to the un-
fortunate ones who otherwise would
have spent a cheerless Christmas.
The prevailing spirit in all the many
entertainments given showed a total
lack of selfishness and a beautiful
display of self-denial in order that
the young and old, the rich and poor
might together sing in their hearts
of hearts the song which greeted the
shepherds on that memorable morn
ing, "Glory to God in the highest, and
on earth peace, good will toward
men,"
Among the churches, organizations
and individuals who brought cheer
to the hearts of the many cmfweo
lis Wheatley Club, which made many
valuable donations to the needy; the
Fleur-de-lis Club, which had as its
benefactors a poor widow and fam
lily of seven children; Miss Eva Green,
who opened her home, and together
with some of her friends spread a
Christmas tree from which many poor
children received precious gifts. The
churches of the different denomina-
tions played Santa Claus as usual, to
a large number of children by giving
entertainments at their respective
buildings as follows:

The colored Pythian Lodges through
the Arts and Crafts Association, for the
first time in Nashville, played Santa
Claus to the colored children.
On last Saturday. December 23, the
ladies of the Arts and Crafts Associ-
tion of Social Service Workers gave
out a large number of baskets to the
poor children of Nashville with
money donated from the Pythian
Lodges.
The lodges which gave so cheerful
ly the money have shown to the poor
children that Damon and Pythias truly
live in the hearts of the members of
Lightfoot, Stonewall, S. w. Starks,
Tyree and Damon Lodges, and that
the Pythian spirit and vow go fur
ther than the altar of the lodge halls.
1t was impossible to tell who were the
gladdest, the children who received
tn baskets or the ladies' of the Arts
and Crafts Association who worked
so hard to make the entertainment
success; for all had that broad smile
which will not come off.
The young ladies of the Arts and
! Crafts Association, who are all CITY
teachers, have worked hard to make
this a success and only the families
who would have had empty cupboards
on Christmas morning can tell how
we'll they have succeeded. During
the heavy rains of last week these la
| dies were out at night begging the
officers of the lodges to donate some
thing for this Offering. They could
not get to all of them on account of
the rain, but are very thankful to the
lodges that responded to their call.
This will be an annual offering and
it is hoped that the lodges will begin
now to prepare for next years gift.
The ladies of the Association made
personal Investigations of the fami-
lies that were served, and found many
more, but had not enough money to
fill more baskets.
Twelve baskets contained each:
chicken, 6 lbs. of -four, IL lbs, of
candy, lbs. Of raisins, 6 oranges, 6
bananas, IL lbs. of sugar
Eight baskets contained each: 1
chicken, II lbs. of flour, lbs. of can
dy, 2 lbs. of raisins, 5 oranges, 8 ba-
nanas, lbs. of sugar
The eight baskets containing more
of each article were given to families
with and children.

Naturalists Busy on Canal Zone

ENCOURAGING reports are being re-
T. ceived by the Smithsonian institu-
ton from the naturalists who are TAX
ing Fart in the biological survey Of
the Panama canal zone. which was Or
ganized by the institution last winter.
The principal branches Of natural his
tory are represented in the party.
which includes seven experienced fed
naturalists. nearly all of them from
the scientific bureaus of the govern
ment.
Naturalists throughout the world are
greatly interested in this biological
survey, because when the canal is
opened sweeping changes probably vii!
take place in the distribution Of the
animals and plants. A part of the
fresh water streams of the isthmus
now empty into the Atlantic ocean and
others into the Pacific.
It is known that a certain number
of animals and plants in the streams
on the Atlantic side differ from those
of the Pacific side, but as no biological
survey has ever been undertaken the
extent and magnitude OF these differ
ences have yet to be learned.

things said before the patient A per.
son who is very Ill is incapable of
carrying on, or even listening to, .
sustained conversation. In such q
case, there should be as little con.
versation as possible in the room. As
the patient becomes convalescent, he
requires to be entertained. A nurse
who can read or tell light, happy
stories in an entertaining manner Is
invaluable at such times. Gossip or
tales of sadness or unkindness should
not be retailed to any patient. A pa
tient who is kept in an optimistic
frame of mind stands a better chance
of recovery than one who is melan-
choly. The patient should be made to
feel that the nurse is interested in his
recovery and that everything is being
done to hasten it.
When the physician makes his daily
visit, 1t is considered a mark of re-
spect for the nurse to arise when he
enters the room and remain standing
unless asked to be seated; she should
hand him her written report (which
will be explained later). answer any
questions he may ask and then quietly
leave the room, and wait outside until
he leaves the sick-room. This gives
the patient an opportunity to talk pri-
vately with the physician about any
thing he wishes. Often patient does
not talk freely with the physician nor
tell him essential things. because OF
an inability to confide in him IL the
presence of a third party even If that
person is an intimate relative. Then.

tunity Of speaking with the doctor

and of reporting to him anything she
does not deem it wise to say before

Open-Ajr Schools Increasing.

Since January |. 1907. sixty-five open
air schools for children afflicted with
or predisposed 10 tuberculosis have
been established in twenty-eight cities,
according to an announcement made
by the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis.
The first open air school in the United
States was established on January l,
1907, by the board Of education OF
Providence, Il. l., at the instance OF
DR. Ellen A. Stone. The next school
was established In May of the same
year at Pittsburg. and the third at
Boston IN July. 1905. According to
the reports received by the national
association. the result of the open air
class-work has been TO restore most

THE HOME NURSE.

What is everybody's business is no
body's business" This is especially
true in cases of sickness in the homes
where the nursing, or care OF the pa
tient, devolves upon the members OF
the family. In such cases, where sew
eral try to carry out the physicians
orders. it often happens that some or
ders are neglected, each member OF
the family believing that these things
had been attended to by some other
person.
Whenever there is illness in a home
and il 4 IS not seem advisable. for
various reasons. to employ a trained
nurse, one person should be selected
to take charge of the patient, and this
person should receive all orders from
the physician and be responsible Tor
their fulfilment.
The chief requirements for one who
is to take the part of the nurse in a
home are neatness. Quietness and an
ability to carry out the physicians
orders exactly.
must be scrupulously clean and neat.
Her hair should be tastefully dressed
and free from ornaments. Her hands
should be clean and we'll cared for. A
roughened hand is very annoying to
the patient The nails should receive
especial attention and should be filed
rather short. A nurse should not wear
any rings for they are liable to catch
on the clothing or the patients hair
and be annoying. The nurses dress
should be of some washable, cotton
material, soft enough not to rustic
when she walks White aprons give a
neat and tidy appearance. Her shoes
should not be too heavy, permitting
her to step noiselessly about the room.
During the twenty-four hours some
provisions should be made for suffi-
cient sleep and outdoor exercise for
the nurse She needs seven or eight
hours sleep and one or two hours for
exercise, besides time in which to
dress. attend to her toilet require
ments and eat her meals without hur-
rying. A nurse who does not have suf-
ficient time for sleep and rest becomes
not only physically tired, but mentally
SO exhausted that she is incapable OF
giving proper care to the patient or of
observing symptoms. For the sake of
the patient. be sure that the nurse is
not overworked. She can be relieved
of her duties by some other person.
At such times as she is away from her
patient. written orders for the substi-
tute should be left and she should
make sure that the one left in charge
understands the directions.
The nurse always should speak In a
low, well-modulated voice that can be
understood by the patient without any
effort. She should never speak in
whispers or a low tone to third per-
son SO the patient can hear the voices
but cannot understand what is being
said. A sick person is very sensitive
