WARNING TO NURSES.

The following letter, which was re
ceiyed at this office this week will speak
for itself.
MAY 1st, 1912.
DEAR EDITOR -
The newspapers of the smaller towns
throughout the country are frequently
solicited to insert advertisements. for the
Philadelphia School for Nurses, located
at 22l9 Chestnut St, Philadelphia, and
as it poses as a beneicent and charitable
institution, these advertisements are in
serted free of charge.
The visitor Of the PENNSYLVANIA State
Board OF Charities in report states :
"Notliiug to he seen worth reporting.
No indication of lessons or instruction.
Your visitor cannot commend this insti-
tution;' and in a letter says This last
places this institution under the head of
those we condemn absolutely in our
printed report
Ii is advisable that the public should
know that the young women who enter
this school as pupils are sent out after
having had the most meagre instruction
from incompetent instructors, to nurse
i'll private families for money, eighty per
cent. of which is returned to the school
treasury. They receive no bedside in
struction nor are they under the direc-
ton of skilled and competent teachers.
The Chief of the Bureau of Health in
his report to the Director of Health and
Charities of the city of Philadelphia, says:
81 feel that it is an imposition on the
public to allow this class of nurses to
practice their profession, as the follow
ing circumstances connected with these
,,ca., & r,rg,-. cotC1,ref,.a1,,
to my mind that these nurses are not
properly trained to be intrusted with the
noble work of nursing the sick.
The graduates of this school are not
accepted by the American National X, d
Cross Society, nor the Nursing Corps OF
the Army and Navy; they are not admit
ted to the Directory for Nurses connected d
with the College of Physicians, Philadel-
phia, nor are they recognized by the
State Board of Examiners
for Registration of Nurses.
l have given you this information for
the reason that poor and ambitious Young
women, attracted by the advantages SGT
forth III the free advertisements inserted
in the newspapers all over the country,
with great effort travel long distances to
attend this school, in the hope of be
coming trained nurses, only to find after
that they are giving their time
and work to all institution which does
not educate and equip them for the pro-
fessiou OF nursing.
In the interest of these young women
IF your locality / would ask that YOU
give this statement as much publicity as
possible. Respect. yours,

Why HAVE WORMY APPLES +?

According to Prof c. A. McCue of Del
aware College, State horticuturist at the
Delaware Experiment Station, there are
thousands ofapple trees scattered through
out Delaware that never produce perfect
fruit. Year after year these trees produce
nothing but wormy and diseased fruit
that is unfit for human consumption.
All this waste IS unnecessary, he holds,
as a very small amount of labor and ex-
pense will cause these Improbable trees
to produce the clean, beautiful, luscious
apples for which Delaware is rapidly be-.
coming famous.
Now is the time for the owners Of these
Improbable trees to take the steps neces
sary 10 produce perfect fruit. Prof. McCue
/ says wormy apples are caused by the
larvae of the codting moth, an insect that
tan be- easily controlled if treated at the
proper time 'l'he worms enter the fruit
at the blossom end and eat their way into
the core aud ont again through the side
Ul the apple, rendering the fruit un-
/ slightly Tue remedy is to take advantage
OF the fact that IN almost every case tue
worm enters the blossom end of the fruit,
by piaciug a drop of poison in the little
cup at the end of the apple. When this
ls properly done, the worm takes its first
meal off the poison and dies
The following treatment il properly
carried ont, he says, onght to give 80 per
cent to 100 per cent worm free apples
Place two pounds of sfsenate of lead i'm
50 gallons of water and spray the trees
thoroughly just as the petals have fallen.
The work must be done before the little
lobes at the apex Of the young apples
have closed. The spray should I've applied
with considerable force aud the trees
should be well drenched. About two
weeks later repeat the treatment and the
owner can rest assured that he Will have
apples that are practically free from
worms. Eight to twelve ounces Of Paris
green may be used instead of the arsenate
of lead, il the owner so wishes.
There are many other troubles other
thaa the worms that make unsightly APP
pies. The majority of these troubles can
be controlled, if five quarts of commercial
lime sulphur be added to the so gallons
Of poison and water, described above.
The complete treatment then would read
do AOlluWc. AiaFual6 VI lCdNAs ppuuaa
lime sulphur, 5 quarts water, 80 gallons !
Spray just as the blossoms fall and repeat
two weeks later. "Do it nOw,' Prof |

pOrtant, and should
be given the best possible care.
The throat is the gateway to the body.
The air we breathe, the food we eat, the
liquids we drink, all pass through it. It is
very easily affected by cold, strain, ex-
posure, ETC., and Sore Throat is therefore
one Of cur most common ailments.
Strangely enough, it is also one Of the
most neglected.
Sore Throat is a very serious matter,
for the whole system is in danger in
consequence of it.
Every Sore Throat patient is a candidate
for Tonsilitis, Quinsy, Diphtheria and
other serious or fatal diseases, all of which
can be prevented by the timely cure of the
Sore Throat by the use of TONSILINE.
If taken in time dose or two will do it.
TONSILINE is made to cure throat dis
eases and nothing else. 1t is the one
remedy for this purpose sold largely in the
United States. Every user endorses it;
every physician, knowing its virtues,
commends it.
The one most important thing to NJ
remember about TONSlLINE is the S'S1A
fact that it really does cure Sore
Throat. ia

BRIGHT'S DISEASE.
Faulty Living 10 the Cause Of '4hs
Malady of Civilization"

Malady of Civilization
Brght's disease has been called 'the
nalady OF civilization" and the name
is not unmerfted. 1t is beyond every
thing else a disease OF civilized white
men, and It is due almost entirely to
those habits of life which distinguish
the white man from the savage of the
jungle. Nine times out Of ten 1t Is the
result, more or less direct, of disorders
of the digestive tract, and niue times
out of ten these disorders are due to
too much eating and drinking, too much
bending over desks and too little fresh
air.
The savage lives In the open, eats
simple foods, knows nothing Of whisky
and gets plenty of sleep and exercise.
AS a result he has a good digestion, a
clear eye and good red blood in his
veins. But the civilized white man
eats rich food, made appetizing by
stimulating condiments; braces him
self with alcohol, lives in stuffy houses,
in filthy, smoky cities and never walkC
when he can ride. The result is that
his stomach fails in its duties: his kid
neys, inundated by poisons, go to pieces
and he dies from Bright's disease.
Sometimes the trouble starts in the
kidneys themselves-as, for instance,
when they are crippled by alcohol
and sometimes it starts in the stomach
or elsewhere. But in any case the blame
lies with faulty methods of living, and
it is the kidneys that suffer the final
damage. And when they falter or fail
in their business the body f1lls up with
poisons and death is not far away.
Bright's disease, in fact, may be called
autopoisoning. Its victim dies Of poi
sons generated within his own body
Leslie's.

BETTER THAN MANY FRoWNs
Right Kind Of Smile Stands Always
for the Best Things There Are
In This Life.

AT the door of a hospital is the
sign: If you can't smile don't go i'm
There are smiles and smiles, but of
course this means the smile which
stands for the best things in life, not
the kind that initiates, but the kind
which cheers and inspires and stimu-
iates and nourisbes. Whoever con-
ceived of that sign was not far from
being good physician, though he may
have been serving as janitor. Better
than medicine is the smile of friend
ship to those who are set apart by
their infirmities. And the smile of
cheer and helpfulness is not only the
passport to the hospital, but to all
the world, if we but knew it. Some
one remarked: who is beyond the
ministry of kindly smile? 1t is a
tonic to the discouraged. 1t helps the
little child for whom the world holds
so much that makes afraid, and it
cheers the aged who find life unspeak-
ably lonely. AS King Arthur's court
was built by music, so the happier life
we all hunger for here upon earth is
built in large part by the cheerful
faces we see, as we bear the load APP
pointed for us. "-Universalist Leader.

tural College)
The calf should be allowed to take
the first milk from its dam, as nature
requires this, and if her rules are vio-
lated, there will surely be trouble.
After the calf has once nursed, it
should be removed from its mother,
but fed its mothers milk for a few
days, depending on the vigor of the
calf. Commence to add skim milk
after a week. or ten days, adding a
small amount at first and increasing
1t daily until the calf is on an entire
skim milk diet.
There are few simple rules to
follow In growing calves on skim milk.
The milk must be sweet; 1t must be
as warm as the mothers milk and
care must be exercised not to feed
too much of 1t. There are many more
