Such Proof as This Should Convince Anv
Lancaster Citizen.

Lancaster Citizen.
The public endorsement of local

produced None better, none stronger

ward and testifies to his fellow
citizens. addresses his friends and
neighbors, you may be sure be is
throughly convinced or he would not

kindness that should be appreciated.

Susan j. Moody,

Word has just been received of the
death of Mrs. Susan ]. Moody, former
resident of Hallowell, VINO passed away,
March /, at Chicago, aged IS years.
Mrs. Moody was a native of Jackson
vile, ILL.,. but spent much of her earlier
life in Hallowell,s with her aunt, the late
Mrs. Charles Drummer, to whom she was
greatly attached. Her interest in New
England and Hallowell was unfailing,
and during the last weeks of her life she
read from cover to cover Mrs. Mason's
beautiful book, "Old Hallowell on the
Kennebec."
During the last 10 years Mrs. Moody
spent most of her time in Chicago, with
Mr.. and Mrs. w. +. Drummer, whose de-
votion and affectionate interest in her
have been unceasing. She was a woman
of strong mental endowments, a great
reader and thoroughly posted on the cur
rent topics of the day; remarkable wo-
man in many respects and one who filed
well her place in life.

Trainjnu for MARRIAGE.

'There is every reason why wo-
man receiving her diploma as a train
ed nurse is best fitted for homemak-
ing or motherhood" declared Miss Par
sons to a Sunday Post reporter. I'm
fact, we might call her studies in the
nurses school preparatory education
for marriage My only regret is that
more young women do not avail them
selves of the opportunity offered by
the many hospitals to get this educa-
ton, which is playing such an impor-
tant part in the welfare of the COM
munity.
Il am given to understand that the
number of young women entering
these schools is gradually decreasing.
Many girls have been discouraged in
their intentions to become nurses by
being told of the hardships which one
must undergo in this work. In years
gone by, the nurse was obliged to en-
dure much, but this has been materi-
ally lessened by the new systems now
established in the larger hospitals, al
though it must not be inferred from
this that the work of learning to be a
nurse is easy, by any means.

Nurses Make Best Wives and Moth


TRAINED nurses make the best wives
and mothers, generally speaking, &C
cording to Miss Sarah Parsons, super
intendent of nurses at the Massaehu-
sets General Hospital.
Miss Parsons, during her work as
superintendent at this instatution,
where she is in direct connection with
the nurses both in the hospital and
after they graduate, has made an eX-
haustive study into the nurse as a
homemaker and mother.
She is strongly supported in her
views by doctors and other authori-
ties who are in a position to watch
the work of women engaged in this
pursuit The experience which wo-
man must necessarily obtain while
serving her time in one of the nurses
schools, the sacrifice she makes in
learning the secrets of care, nourish-
ment and hygiene, give her this vitality
important education, and thereby
broaden her general knowledge and
temperament, declare those who know,
SO that she is best fitted for the life
ahead

essary DUTY of life.

The strict carrying out of orders
during their years in the nurses
school is a most important requirement
and thing which, l believe, fits them
So well for motherhood In caring for
the sick. person cannot be forgetful;
she must not he negligent in the small
est detail. for the slightest breach of
memory is liable to prove serious. The
girls are so thoroughly educated in
this study and the fact so firmly fixed
in their mind that this care cannot
help but become second nature tc
them. This. u my mind, is one of the
very necessary features in homemade
ing, a feature which makes a man
having such Wife and home feel con-
fident, especially as regards the care
and health of his children
"A graduate nurse must have mas
tered the science of dietetics and hy-
gienc Many families have been cast
into i'll health through the lack of
knowledge on the mothers part of
these important studies. What to give
your children TO eat what foods con-
tam the most nourishment. what is
pest for children of different ages, are
all vital questions which the graduate
nurse is thoroughly acquainted with
and which she is able to decide almost
IN d moment. In this study of diete-
ties, not alone is. she well Versed in
this one detail but also in the eeene-
mic part, for she must know both how
to cook the different foods and what
the percentage of nourishment is in
each. Also she must pay strict atten-
uon TIC economy, for in cooking for her.
patients she must always have these
things IN mind, Surely such a knowl-
edge would be blessing to any man
who has experienced the expense
which this lack of knowledge on the
part of his wife has brought about.
Nurses Healthy.
The health of the average graduate
nurse is another one of my many rea
sons for declaring her capable of maxi
ing an ideal wife. First of all. the
hospitals are very particular as to the
health OF an applicant to their nurses
schools. Seludom have we experienced
any cases Of long sickness among our
nurses and it is rarely that one is
obliged TO give up her work The svs-
tematlc and strict routine which they
work under day after day seems TO
agree with them perfectly and every
hospital school points with pride to
the graduating classes. each graduate
showing most prominently the excel
lent health she is enjoying.
But the most satisfying result of
THIS is that she invariably keeps in
TINS good health in after life whether
married or not She has learned
among the many other things the art
OF sanitary science, that of preserving
ana improving health, not only as re-
CARDS herself but that of her children
IL such be the case. The health of f,,-
lure generations will depend almost
entirely upon the knowledge of this
science displayed by mothers.

A tar macadam pavement stretching
from the school of gunnery at Shoe
buryness to the sea is at present in
state Of violent if silent eruption. About
a fortnight ago the surface became
covered with what may be called
"blisters," raised a little above the
common level. which attracted much
wondering attention, From each of
these, in a few days, a series of cracks
appeared extending themselves in rays
from Il center. Finally came up a
broad, soft shoot, looking extremely
well pleased with itself and its work,
which proved to be so old and well
known "a friend as the thistle. At this
moment there are hundreds of these
bold intruders showing defiantly
through the pavement, affording a
most interesting illustration of the
power of vegetable growth.-London
