A Narrow Escape.

T ORD DEC1ES. the fance OF Miss
II Nivien Gould, was talking in New
York about American cab fares.
They seem to be intended only for the
rich he said. Il was amused by a
cabby, who, after drive that would
have cost shilling in London, said:
You're an Englishman, sir, and SO
I'll only charge YOU two dollars
He made me think Of a lawyer. who,
having won a case involving hundred
pounds sterling. kept eighty pounds for
his fee. and said, as he handed over the

No Institutions in Country
for Disabled Trained Nurses

have achieved not only complete COM
Detence. but absolute perfection at the
nursing art, are thus left patiently wait
ing for calls from the doctors. while their
expenses go on, and often they are re-
duced to actual want while thus waiting.
The male patients are equally rs eXacting
in their demand for attractive nurses.
The average man doesn't care to have a
nurse who. while not at all middle-aged,
may look so from her arlluous work. how
ering around his bedside. Thus the
younger nurses. the ones just starting
out. have the call: they naturally rejoice
in their triumph over the older and better
trained and more highly experienced
nurses for time; but their day for being
passed by soon comes. and they perforce
join their band of colleagues who have to
wait long for calls and eventually reach
the stage where they are thankful for
any sort OF case, where formerly they
were In a position to exercise a little in
dependence in the acceptance of cases.
Few nurses can save anything. In the
first place, they are not employed any
thing like all the time People who pay
SO week for the services of a trained
nurse imagine that the nurse is overpaid,
as rule, and also they imagine that the
nurse is in receipt of that income all
the time throughout the year. But, of
course, she isn't. There are long spaces
between her cases, as often as not, SO
that the average weekly pay of a trained
nurse In Washington, as we'll az in other
American cities, rarely is more than one
half of the So per week which she gets
while actually on duty.
Out OF this sum she has to pay her own
expenses all the time, even while nursing.
Size must pay her room or fiat rent whlie
she is on duty. to keep a shelter over her
head. Under these conditions there is not
a chance for nurse to save, unless she
happen to live al home with her people.
Which is why it seems odd that there
is no such institution as home for worn
out nurses; many such homes, in fact; at
least one in every state. nese women,
who spent all OF their serviceable years
nursing the sick. virtually are thrown
upon the scrap heap when they become
disabled: they have no place to turn to
for rest; when they become i'll they have
to 60 to the public wards of hospitals.
And yet the MILLIONS upon millions for
peace" propositions and other equaly
vague schemes keep right on flowing from
the surplusage of the millionaires.

~. far al this writer knoWs-and he
has taken quite some pains to make
- inquiries--there isn't q single institu-
ton for disabled or wornout trained
nurses in the whole United States.
Recently he had occasion to converse
with a trained nurse on this subject, and
when she made the statement that there
was no institution anywhere in this coun-
try to which trained nurse could go
after she became unfit for further nurs-
ing. he investigated the matter and found
that she was exactly right.
The average length of service of a
trained nurse, he discovered, was from
ten to fifteen years. The nurse who is able
to go on doing her severe, cxacting work
for the latter period OF time is the ex-
ception.
The arduous work, the Intensity Of It.
the lack of air and exercise for long
periods when on difficult cases, and par
ticularly the broken sleep, not only
shorten the serviceable periods Of trained
nurses, but distinctly shorten their lives.
The nurse who. fresh from the training
school. goes into the work a blooming
girl nearly always looks, at the end OF
ten years of the work, like a woman Of
far greater than her actual age.
BY that time she has become, more
likely than not. q decided insomnia. 1t
is difficult for her to sleep restfully and
thoroughly, even when size is of a case.
She is so used to keeping her ears at
tuned to tie calls of patients while on
nursing duty that it is impossible for
her to break the habit; and SO, with
tangled nerves, she tOsses about, while
off duty. in a veritable agony OF desire
for sleep that stubbornly refuses to
come And the nurse, knowing the dan.
ger of sleep-producing drugs. rarely re-
sorts to them. 1t is a marvel that she
does not. considering her profound need
for sleep. But there are fewer trained
nurses addicted to drugs, in proportion
to their number. than women engaged
in any other exactIng occupation in the
United States.
Then, too, there is a decided modern
demand for young and attractive trained
nurses. No matter how fresh and bloom
ing a nurse may b. at the outset OF her
nursing career, 1t simply is impossi-
biljty for her to retain that appearance
after FIVE or six years of the work. The
color is bound to go from her cheeks, the
strained. tense look is more or less bound
to make its appearance on her counte-
nance, ard the long vigils, the constant
changes of diet, the querulous complaints
of unappreciative and eXacting patients
all these things are more than liable to
wear down the contour OF her figure to
rigid lines and to wrench from her the
upon the profession of nursing.

20 Trustee
Good Roads Commission.

We have very interesting letter this
week from Geo. II. Freeman, Secretary
Knox County Good Roads and Park
Association. Mr. Freeman goes into
detail about the formation OF the com
mission, stating that the bill has been
so constructed as to separate the COM
mission from politics as near as pos
sible, and he thinks we are not al
together on good ground in regard to
that feature OF the bill. There would
be no trouble about commissions at all
il the chief executive did not see fit to
use them for political purposes. The
bill provides for five commissioners and
two associate commissioners. The Cover
nor appoints three of these commission
ers, the trustees of the University Of
Tennessee elects one and the State
Geologist is a commissioner ex-ofiicio.
The Professor OF Horticulture and
Forestry of the University of Tennessee
is an associate commissioner and the
Governor appoints the other associate.
This makes four appointments for the
Governor 1--WE speak OF any Governor
who may happen to be in Office after
the law goes into effect. Two of them
are furnished by the University OF Ten
nessee. The other is the State Geolo-
gist, and his appointment comes from
the Governor. Now that would make
five commissioners owe their appoint
ments to the chief executive of the
State, makes no difference whom he hap
pened to be at the time OF appoint
ment. OF course no one Governor
would likely have more than two APP
pointments. He might have more in
case of death or resignation, and there
fore we say that the separation of COM
missions from politics altogether can
not be effective until the commissions
are empowered to elect their own sue
cessors. Why did not the authors of
the bill provide that once the commits
sion had been formed that it be en-
powered to elect its own successors and
therefore owe nothing to any political
head for its authority.
The authors of the bill providing for
State ownership OF the Tennessee State
Fair have constituted commission of
this kind, and it does seem to us that
it would be commendable example to
follow. Tennessee is inaugurating

for better passenger service on the
branch between Troy and Moffatt, the
latter an intersection point on the main
line Some time ago an effort was
made to get the company to operate a
motor car over the road to connect with
the passenger trains at Moffatt, and a
compromise was effected by increasing
the local freight service from one to
two trains day, with cabooses provid-
ed with passenger seats. The Troy peo-
pie have $75, 900 or $4,000 freight
bill every year and they think they are
entitled to more than this, so Mr.. Nc
Dade will make requisition, or. in case
that fails, institute suit for better sys-
tenn of passenger service He will ask
for the motor service or some provision
for the operation of local passenger
trains to Troy.

Catarrh is Surely a Dangerous
Disease.

Thousands of people allow catarrh to
slowly undermine the whole system I'M
til serious disease develops-some-
times consumption.
People who have catarrh should use
every effort to get rid of it, but should
above all adopt a sensible method.
Stomach dosing, sprays and douches
won't cure catarrh because it is germ
disease, and the germs must be destroy
ed before the disease can be conquered
HYOMEI is the one sensible cure for
catarrh because it reaches every fold,
crevice and nook in the mucous mem
brane and gets where the germs are.
You breathe HYOMEI and as it passes
over the inflamed membrane its sooth-

stroys the germs.
A complete HYOMEI outfit costs
SI.00. This consists of bottle OF
