ms tax is based on valuation of
state property in the state of $685.
lS7,705. and the rate on the dollar of
valuation is Slightly more than PIP
mills.
"All the above amounts" says the
secretary of state in a statement
which accompanies the levy, that is
being sent to all county clerks, ARE
for education and highways, with the
exception of the new capitol and gen.
eral purposes amounts, and are re-
turned to the people either directly or
indirectly with additional moneys.
The levy of $1.500,000 for general pur-
poses is unusual and it is, therefore,
quite natural that the taxpayers of
the state should make a special in
quiry respecting it.
This levy seemed necessary after
a careful consideration of a detailed
statement of the general fund re-
ceipts and disbursements prepared in
conformity with the statutes, which
showed there would be an estimated
balance on hand in July /, 1914, of
S7lO,s1S, without the levy of a spe-
cial tax. This amount clearly would
be inadequate to meet the demands
on the state treasury prior to a sub
stantial collection of revenues.
ut is estimated there should be a
working balance of st,500,00O in the
general fund on July 1, 1914, exclusive
of the amount required to meet ex-
traordinary requirements for high
ways and bridges"
The levy as apportioned among the
various counties of the state is as fol-

For One Who Cannot Wall.

Il wish you could put me in the way Of
getting a wheeled chair for young man.
a friend OF mine, who has been sick for four
years and cannot walk. His mother is not
able to buy him one for anything like the
money she can spend, and he wants a chair
that will wheel about the room so that he
can get TO the window and look out.
"A B. H"
OF all the requests that are made through
our Corner / believe that those which APP
peal to me most closely are the ones made
on behalf of the sick or the old Perhaps
Il is because am well along in years my
self and have also known enough Of illness
to understand how its sufferings may be
lessened by the appliances which bring
comfort
Whatever the cause the fact remains that.
although I am always glad to bring the
want and the supply together. no matter
what may be its nature, am conscious of
an especial fervor in my plea made for
those no longer young or for those on whom
pain or illness has been laid.
To any Of you the picture of young man
crippled by four years Illness, who asks
for means of getting to the window and
having a glimpse of the outside world from
which his affection shuts him away, must
bring a pang Of sympathy and longing to
help. May this take concrete shape in the
offer Of the wheeled chair or in the Informal
ton where such a chair can be secured?

my boy would not be happy with anyone
but me-" pleaded a mother with the doctor
who was urging a trained nurse to care for
a child threatened with pneumonia HE
wouldn't let her do the things for him that
j do
To her credit be it said that the moth sr
rejoiced when her boys improved condi-
ton and content with his nurse proved the
doctors judgm ent to have been in the
right.
''She took fine care OF me-" announced the
patient the first morning after the nurse
had taken charge. You know. mother. l
would have been sorry to ask you to get
up and down all the while. but she was right
here. wide awake. and whenever felt bad
she gave me a drink or an alcohol rub or
sponged me off or did something like that
and L wasn't afraid l would tire her all
out, because that was what she was here
for"
The knowledge that that is what she Is
here for is one OF the considerations which
make the trained nurse more valuable than
members OF the family. She is following her
business when she waits on you hand and
foot; she feels you are in the wrong when
you try to spare her by going without the
things you need. She iInpresses II upon
YOU that you are to turn to her IN every want
and II she is the right sort she makes you
think you are granting her a pleasure as
well as a duty when you tell her how to
minister to your comfort.
More than this she knows how to take
care OF you. Long experience has taught
her how to lift you and turn you and feed
you and wait upon you She knows how to
adjust banda ges, how to pile up pillows so
that they will be a support in just the right
way, how TO arrange the covers to the best
effect. how to shade the light and direct the
air from the window. All these branches
of knowledge are part Of her stock In trade
the qualities which fit her to be the best
kind OF trained nurse
So much for her relations towards yoai
How about yours toward herr How shall
the trained nurse be treated? What II her
standing in the household?
That depends a good deal, of course, upon
the sort Of household she enters. You know
very well there are many different kinds OF
these. In one the nurse is considered az st
tie more than servant or at best an aRtona-
atom. She is hired to discharge certain d.
ties and having done these properly no
further thought is given to her. / rexrst

which her need OF food and rest IS ignored.

AVE you ever had a trained nurse
u in your family? II not a whole
large field Of experience is unknown
to you.
Even II you have been subjected
to the ministrations Of a nurse you may yet
have something to learn about them. For
there are several different kinds, and they
vary almost as much as human nature
varies. Some OF them are as great trials
in the sick room as certain of our own
friends would prove in similar oircum-
stances, while others have traits which
tax the language to find words good enough
10 describe them. l can frankly say that
know of no greater blessing than the
right sort OF trained nurse in case OF
serious illness.
One OF the first characteristics to impress
you about this sort Of nurse is her efficien-
cy. 1 recollect seeing this kind come into
a sick room once where very Ill patient
lay Up 10 the time Of the nurses arrival

members of the family who had done for
her everything they could think OF, ami

eagerness to serve. They had watched
untiringly, they had gratiied every wish
to the best of their ability, they had supple
mented their efforts with the tenderest al
lection.

principles for a nurses guidance must be

which will fetch a bone will carry one is
Immediately suggested by the repetition on
the nurses part OF any bit Of talk about
houses where they have been employed and
patients whom they have nursed
have had nurses In my homo for weeks.
SO that they have come to seem like old
friends and have talked with them freely
on many subjects without ever hearing
from them the mention Of q name or OF
clew which would give me any idea Of the
identity Of those of whom they have told
me interesting tales. More than this, no
bit Of scandal has escaped them, and all
my converse with them has given me the
comfortable sensation that since they
brought no gossip to me they would take
none away with them. Their experience
has given them wide views of life. their
observations are we'll worth hearing. and
they draw deductions which are often dis.
tinctly Illuminating.
The old days Of the Sairey Camp type
are long-and happily-past- There are still
women who 60 into the nurses profession
merely as a means Of livelihood. and even
among these there are good workers. con-
scienious and skilled. But like best
those who take UP nursing because OF their
Unborn love for the work or az a means Of
service. To me they seem more dedicated
10 the great effort OF relieving pain and
suffering, of making life easier Tor the sick
and helpless.
But are there. then. no poor nurses? In
deed there are; and I gr.eye to say that
some OF them are extremely Objectionable.
Certain Of them have come my way, either
by observation or BY hearsay. There was
