From Practjca, Side

Mr.. G. M. Rich spoke of the work
of the association from the practical
side, and in very clear, logical way
showed that visiting nurse in the
city Is a good business investment 1t
is good investment for the employ
er because it renders the employee
more efficient Public health nursing
teaches sanitary living which pro-
notes health among all classes. Short
talks we're made by Asaph Buck,
Senator q P. McManus, l.. A. Ham
i'll, S. q. Baker, D. B. Hami1l, c. F..
M Farland and H. W. Huiskamp. The
work of the association has grown
to such proportion that a second
nurse is a necessity. The child well
fare branch of the work has not been
given the attention which 1t should
receive since statistics show that in
the last twenty years, one-half the
deaths in Keokuk have been Of chill
dren under five years of age. With
the hiring of second nurse this
work will be inaugurated
Miss Habenlchts Talk.
Miss Habenicht's talk dealt with
the work of the visiting nurse from
its inception to the present time, and
she laid particular stress upon fec
tory nursing. Her address follows:
Visiting nursing is practically six
ty years old, the experiment first hav-
ing been made in England in 1859 It
has extended to practically all Eng
lish speaking countries and with GER
tain notifications to other countries.
Besides regular district nursing three
Of the special lines are school inspec-
ton, tuberculosis work and infant
mortality. These are already we'll de-
veloped as practical fields for public
health nurses
Factory nursing Is term used to
describe the work Of a visiting nurse
engaged by business organization to
care for its employees and their fam
flies These employees may be MEM
bers of force which distributes
goods or of one which makes them.
The term is applied to nursing In a.
store as well as in a steel plant. 1t
is applied equally to nursing among
men and among women; among min
ors and among adults.
AT the present time Cleveland has
nine nurses in as many factories;
Chicago has nine nurses In six fac
tories Every large city and many
small cities throughout the United
States offer examples of factory nurs-
ing. Under the best conditions the
factory nurse has wide opportunities
both for curative work and for proven
tive and edllcative Her most obvi-
Gus service is in cases OF accidents
occurring in the factory or store. She

Factory Nurses Work.

Factory Nurses Work.
"All OF the educative work in sani-
tation, care OF children, good house
keeping, benefits of fresh air, dangers
of infection, etc, which is in the
power Of the district nurse is also in
the power Of the factory nurse In
her visits to the homes Of her pa
tients. Her work is not confined to
the shop but reaches to the home
and familyof every worker.
graduate nurses are being employ
ed by many large corporations to 90
welfare work In the families Of their
employees for the fact that health
maintained Is better than health re-
stored.
"a nurse is welcome visitor In
the plant or in the homes and she has
an unequalled opportunity to repre-
sent the good will of the busy employ
er to his people and to increase their
loyalty to him Almost every man is
very much pleased when he is told
on the first visit that it is his boss
who has sent the nurse and that he
is interested In knowing how he is
getting along This has tendency
on the part Of the nurse to bring the
employer and employee to better
understanding. She deals directly
with life and human sympathy and
she finds all manner of gentle and
good things on both sides which need
nurturing and tending and that inter
changes of kindness are useful in the
world where the factory nurse accom-
plishes her daily task.
THE employer In determining
whether to introduce such a thing in
to his factory or plant will necessar-
lily consider what the cost of such
service bears to wages. Many en-
ployers must still be educated to the
realization that nursing sick employ
ees is a good business investment.
Municipalities Will also awaken to the
realization that the extention of nurs-
ing service as a function of munich
pality is desirable and in accord with
coed policy.

Worker Asks Justice.


"The worker today is demanding.
Justice and not charity. If better
house conditions are provided, IL
shorter hours of labor are given, If
children are not permitted to work I'M
der certain ages, If safety devices are
installed for the protection of the
workmen against accidents, and II
pension funds and insurance against
sickness, invalidity, etc, are incorpor-
ated in the we'll meaning schemes OF
industry the workman demands that
these shall be given him not as a
privilege, but as right. He demands
today that wages shall be proportion
ate to his earning ability and that
whatever is done for him along other
lines, shall be viewed as a form of
supplementary wages rather than as
form of philanthropy.
"In whatever form such nurse ser.
vice may be rendered, it is essential
to recognize the fact that self re-.
specting working people wish this SER
vice given them as something for
which they may pay directly by fee
or through the employer, in which
case nursing would be given as part
compensation for work.
"a fourth class Of patient is the
citizen who receives visiting nurse
service instituted by the municipality
through its board of health, public
schools or other department. of NUM-
cipal activity. Here the recipient re-
ceives such service not as a gratuity
but as something which he receives
as citizen for the contribution which
he makes to the city either through
taxation or the rent which he pays.
Work in keokuk
"Three classes of the work done by
the visiting nurse in Keokuk are:
In homes where the continued ser
vices OF the nurse is not needed but
where the hourly call once or twice
day. with the home care interven-
ing will give the necessary nursing
care. In this case soc per visit is
paid. This not only saves the fam
lily the whole price OF trained nurse
but it gives support to the Visiting
Nurse Association and helps to pro-
vide the service to the less fortunate
who cannot afford to pay at all
Where the short call OF the nurse
will suffice for any kind of treatment
or instruction In such cases moth
ers are glad to pay small price If
it is only car fare.
In the homes of the needy where
price is not considered. In
cases the restitution is evident and
it is here our spirit of philanthropy
is evident. We believe in helping
others by helping them to help them
selves. We do not consider this char
ity. We see that food, fuel. clothing
and nursing care are provided a'so
obtain employment and thus tide the
family over until 1t is again on it's
feet.
The ideal Visiting Nurse Assccia-
ton is the one that Is self supporting
and this is what We are trying to do
for our association Of Keokuk. This
can be done by definite fee from
patients able to pay; by the develop
ment with employers of labor for the
nursing care of their employees, and
by the agreement with insurance com.
panies for the nursing of policy hold

it is her duty to secure proper medi-

Ancient Mural Dissertations.

1t is probable that the earliest wall
paintings were those of the Egyptians
Those people employed a distemper
containing dissolved gum, and their
principal pigments were white chalk
vegetable yellow. ochers. Ethiopian
cinnabar. blue powdered glass stained
with copper and charcoal black. The
walls Of Assyrian and Babylonian
dwellings were treated in much the
same way, and the practice of painting
on walls coated with plaster was GER
tainly in vogue in Assyria. 1t has been
believed that the Greeks understood
true fresco work, apparently on the
strength Of phrase occurring In Plu.
tarch, ito paint on a wet ground" VI
truVius also speaks Of a wet ground
and says that colors placed upon a
surface 80 prepared are permanent,
which certainly is characteristic Of
true feesco work.-Harper'e.

New Bed Of ScaIIopa-

The demand for sea food ia a per-
sistent and an increasing one, so
much so that in some lines the SUP
ply is threatening with extinction.
This Is particularly true Of the lob
ster, which is every year becoming
scarcer and consequently dearer, and
even the succulent clam Is not found
IN It's former abundance In those
haunts to which It once gave fame.
But the scallop is a good substitute,
and the report just made to the sec
retary Of commerce that a bed Of the
giant variety, thirty miles wide and
extending from Rhode Island to the
Virginia capes, has been found, is
very reassuring. The common kind
are plenty enough, but they are only
half as large as the giant variety, and
not accounted SO great q delicacy.
This new source of supply .is regard
ed as practically inexhaustible, and 1t
is not likely to have an Immediately
lowering effect upon the price OF O

HSIphon" Slsson.


Thomas Upton Sisson, member of
congress from the Fourth district OF
Alabama, is destined to go down In his
tory as the siphon bottle statesman.
Which is an unfortunate fate.
When the Acknowledgements I'M
broglio was at height Mr.. Sisson deliv-
cred an impassioned anti-Japanese
speech on the floor Of the house.
"If we must have war;" he declared,
"or submit to this indignity, am for
war"
Later, in the tariff debate, Repre-
sentative Johnson OF Washington, re-
proving him for this speech, called at
tention to the fact that Mr.. Sisson had
voted last year against a battleship
program, and then he referred to the
southerner as "the sizzling solon from
the Mississippi, Mr.. Sisson."
If that doesn't sound like a siphon
bottle, what does? The resemblance
caught the fancy Of the cloakroom con-
gressional kidders, and they are ring
ing the changes on it whenever Mr..
Sisson happens along.

LABORIS HOPE.

No man in all our history was
a tirmcr believer in law and or
der than Thomas Jefferson. The
right Of q man to labor Is inal.
ienable. and the right Of man
to quit work is just as unde-
niable. Neither capital nor labor
has the tight to take tile law into
its own hands. If capital does
wrong that is nc reason why la
Dor should do wrong. or vice ver-
sa. Two wrongs never did and
never will make right. In Il
government such as ours the
reign Of law must not give way
to the reign of force. The law
must be obeyed by all. The best
advice that any friend can give
labor. organized or otherwise, in
its struggle for its just rights.
for better conditions. for greater
progress and for a more equita-
bic distribution of its fruits Is to
obey the law. Labor's only hope
Is here. No man is greater than
the law in this country.-William

Soft moss grew here for tender
stumbling feet.
Low seats upon smooth rocks

And aromatic leaves for feasts.
Gay beads
They huGted hid In fragrant

Tart berries far in witches wild

Brisk squirrels dropt them nuts.
and water reeds
Piped gladly when they danced
upon the meads.
Birds brought them tidings.
Brooks conveyed their feet.
Twas always summer, and the
days were bright
WITH brightness lost from homes
bereft and dark.
All seemed abundant, glad, save
when at night
They wept for arms but dimly
missed by day.
Then singing angels held them
till the lark
Bid all Gods cherished children
wake and play.

SOCIAL JUSTICE.

The function Of the modern
rabbi is twofold-to teach Jew
ish ideals to the Jew and to in
terpret Jewish ideals to the
Christians. The modern rabbi is
not the priest Of an ancient the
ology, but his is the task of the
prophet. Which counts most, So
cial justice or the fear Of criu-
cism and opposition? No slave.
no coward, can help the cause Of
justice. There are those of us
whose hearts remain dumb and
upstirred to the appeal for social
justice. They care not for Amer
ican principles. The literature
and the history of America are
unknown to them. Indifferent
or cynical, they must be reused
to recognize responsibility to
acknowledge and fulfill duty.
The mission of America Is social
justice. 1t is engraved upon the
heart and inscribed on the ban
ner Of our leader. the president.
1t is visible in the patient suf-
ferings and hopes of the Jewish
people In nges past. Even now
are there not those who still
must suffer for their Jewish man
hood and their love of Justice?
Are there nevertheless some
among us who despise. who dare
even svolf and jecr at. this holy
call 10 action: America means
progress. america means social
Justice. Rabbi Leo Mannheimer
