LESSER INDIAN DEATH RATE; THE |S BEGINNING ID BUILD UP

Medical Supervisor, Dr. J. A. Murphy, who recently visited the Fort Yuma schosl found health conditions velS much improved since /is visit five years ago. He made an examination of cSch pupil in the school and re- ported a much better general condition than is usually the case in the majority of the schools visited and examined.
 He reported the gradual reduction of the death rate, and the gradually increasing birth rate as follows:
 1911, 36 deaths more than births.
 1912, l6 deaths more than births.
 1913, 9 deaths more than births.
 1914, 9 births more than deaths.
 There are less than twenty mixed-bloods among the en- tire Yuma tribe.
 The Fort Wayne News says:
 The physical decline and the very alarming death rate of the American Indian of today is perhaps the most serious and urgent of the many prob lens that confront him at the present time.
 "The death rate is stated by govern ment officials at about thirty per thousand of the population-double the average rate among white Ameri- cans.
 These are grave facts and cause deep anxiety to the intelligent Indian and to the friends of the race.
 Some hold pessimistic views looh ing to it's early extinction; but these are not warranted by the outlook, for, in spite of the conditions named, the last three censuses show a slight but continuous increase in the total num- Der of Indians
 'Nor is this increase among mixed bloods alone; the full-blooded Indians are also increasing in number. This indicates that the race has reached md passed the lowest point of it's de cline, and is beginning slowly but surely to recuperate."

chronic cases which demand continued faithfulneSS rather

continued f2ithtulneSS rather
 than emergency keenness. The trouble is with the schools which | pretend to teach nursing and don't One often sees advertisements of. cor
 respondence schools for nursing. To claim to make trained nursed by cor
 respOndence is worse than absurd. It
 may often be criminal. It is true that theoretical knowledge such as a real
 trained nurse gets from books and lec- lures can be imparted by correspond
 ence That is a necessary part of a nurses training. But it is a small part.
 The daily work in the routine of a we'll
 conducted hospital, the constant super
 vision, the actual handling of a days
 duties over period of years are in escapable for any woman who is to be made fit to be entrusted with the care of human lives in danger.
 So-called training schools which graduate their students in few short months are another difficulty. These graduates" and those of the cores pondence schools claim the title of "trained nurse." How is the layman to tell whether or not a trained nurse is really trained?
 Stricter legislation in the matter of keeping professions up to high stand ards is never opposed by worthy mem bers of the professions. Nurses wno have spent three years of hard work and serious study at exacting tasks have a right to demand that their training be recognized in some way which will set them apart from those who have not undergone such disci- exclusive use of the initials "RN.' after their names. It is also the right of the public to know what it is get ting.
 If a mother has three children down NILu M0dSl6S anu U0SuS Un6 u6lp Ol someone who can save her steps make cooling drinks and give medi cine and baths at hours decreed by the doctor while the mother rests, why all right, let her get such a person and pay the appropriate price for such service. It's worthy, helpful service and should be recognized and paid for as such.
 But if a mother has a child with or typhoid to be cared fol when knowledge almost as great a physicians is required, when swift | accurate decision may shift the bal | ance from death to life, then she sure wants a nurse who can do the thing | as it should be done Especially she needs the most expert nurse possible at time of childbirth No halfway measures should be permitted then And she has a right to depend upon he R N" after the nurses name.
 The Registered Nurse should not only be a trained nurse" She should be a TRAINED nurse.

THE TRUTH ABOUT 4 REGISTERED
 NURSE" BY MIRIAM RUSSELL

Whether a trained nurse should necessarily be trained is a matter of troublesome discussion in many places. Ones first impulse is to ask how a nurse can be a trained nurse if she isn't trained, but that precipitates the question of what constitutes training. And then the discussion is apt to become technical.
 New York state has a SyS- tenn by which a nurse may take an examination given by the Board of Regents and if she passes it she becomes a Registered Nurse. This examination may be passed &y a young woman whose Knowledge of nursing is the oretical only. The Board of Regents is making a demand that the state require that "a trained nurse be trained" " That is to say, that she have actual sick room experience in an accredited hospital un- der the supervision of teach CTS of nursing before she is allowed to be called a "keg- istered Nurse" "
 There is no objection to any woman'S nursing the sick, or, in fact, to nursing for pay under title which indicates that the nursing is by a woman who is not a graduate of a good hospital training school. But there is ebjection to the use of the
 nrds Certified Nurse, Trained Nurse, Register ed Nurse" by those people.
 It is not the woman known as the Practical Nurse" or Experienced Nurse" who is the worst offender. She is generally efficient as far as her knowledge goes and does not masquerade as other than she iS-a strong, capable woman who has had experi- ence in caring for the sick. She is an extremely useful person in many cases where Q trained nurse is not needed, | but where there is a call for some one who can take hold of a household and care for a patient in minor illness. She is also of great use in

COLDS CAUSED BY
ATTACKS OF GERMS
Fatigue, Intemperance, etc, Reduce
Integrity of Body's Defensive
Agents Advice.

People who have colds, according |
to the United States public health ser
vice, are suffering from an attack of
germs which they carry in their own
mouths or throats These have been
permitted to reside there in state of |
armed neutrality between the germs
and the body defenses, until fatigue,
emotion, intemperance, over-exertion,
or sudden chill, temporarily reduces
the integrity of the body's defensive
agents. This produces the aggregation
OF symptoms known as a cold. Colds are
really very serious matters, and should
never be treated lightly. If the body Isl
resistance to one kind of disease germ
Is lowered, it is quite easy for other
germs to gain a foothold and spring
into activity as such time. The In
lection which has produced a cold may
extend to other parts of the body, and
middle-ear disease and deafness may
ensue, or a remote joint may be in
fected, thus causing a lowered eff
/ cheney throughout life. Many of the
cases which are diagnosed as rheuma
tism are merely the chronic poisoning
which results from the continued
growth of the same germs which pro-
I
by a lowering Of the bodily efficiency,
it is seen that they may be avoided
by the maintenance of the bodily pro-
cesses in good condition. This means
the observance of the rules of hygiene,
adequate food, avoidance of excuses
the securing of sufficient sleep and the
like. Above all, the teeth should be
kept in good condition and the mouth
kept clean.
1t is the duty of persons who have
colds to take every precaution against
transmitting them to others. The
agency in the transmission of cold:
from one person to another is tbs
, sputum ana this transference may oc
cur directly by sneeZing, coughing o
; eXpcctoratiug. Someone has called TIT
/ cold the strap-haugcrs disease because
, Of the frequency with which it is con
: tracted in overcrowtled streetcars. Tn
: common handkerchief is a great trans
: mitter Of disease. People with cold
' should either destroy the handkerchief
which they use or steriliZe them b.
t boiling them. If you do not want I
a give your cold to somebody else, hol
! your handkerchief or your hand owe
+ your face when YOU cough or sneeze, an
+ do not indulge IN promiscuous splitting
d If YOU do not wish to contract col
e from u person who has one, avoid il
II innate personal contact with him. |
the old days they used to hang a ba
