FOR HOME NURSING.
How to Care For Bottles and Medicines
During Sickness.

How to Care For Bottles and Medicines
During Sickness.
One of the first lessons n nurse learns
is to pour out medicine from the side
of the bottle opposite 10 that on which
the label is pasted in order that any
drops Of the liquid which escape down
the side when pouring will not oblite--
ate the directions and number of the
prescription.
As soon as Il medicine bottle is empty
and If il is not to be replenished right
away it should be marked and put out
of the way until needed again. Many
doctors insist upon the prescriptions be-
ing written on the label Of the bottle
by the druggist. This makes II easier
for reference if he decides to 20 back
to an old formula 1t also makes Il
possible for the nurse TO know what IL
being given and makes IL less danger
Gus to have empty bottles or unused
medicines around.
1t Is never safe TO give medicine from
a long unused bottle unless either the
prescription IL marked on 1t or 1t has
been plainly marked for what purpose
IL was used before. Otherwise it IL
better to refer the prescription number
to the druggist who made 1t up and get
him TO identify it, If these means OF
identification were always adhered to
there would be fewer mistakes made.
After an illness is over and the pa
tent convaescent, clear out all the
medicines IL Is not necessary To keep.
An accumulation Of old prescriptions
is rarely Of use again and the bottles
clutter up the medicine closet Empty
bottles are sometimes useful but II
they are kept they should be carefully
washed out and the labels erased so
that they win be ready for an emer-
gency and not spoiled by the drying
up of the contents.

THE CHURCH As
AS0C|AL Center
A Broader Sphere for Rs1i9lon--New
Field for the Rural Church,
BY Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Union

Lecturer National Farmers Union
The social duty Of the rural church
is as much a part Of its obligations
as It's spiritual side. In expressing Its
social interest, the modern rural
church does not hesitate to claim that
1t Is expressing a true religious in.
stinct and the old-time idea that the
social instincts should be starved
while the spiritual nature was over.
fed with solid theological food, is fast
giving way to a broader interpreta.
ton of the functions Of true religion.
We take our place in the succession
OF those who have sought to make the
world a fit habitation for the children
of man when we seek to study and
understand the social duty of tho
rural church. The true christian re-
ligion Is essentially social-its tenets
of faith being love and brotherhood
and fellowship, While following after
righteousness, the church must chal-
lenge and seek to reform that social
order in which moral life is ex.
pressed. While cherishing ideals of
service. the rural church which It.
tains the fullest measure of success
is that which enriches as many lives
as 1t can touch, and In no way can
the church come in as close contact
with It's members as through the
avenue Of social functions
The country town and the rural
community need a social center. The
church need offer no apology for It's
ambition to fill this need in the com.
munlty, II an understanding Of it's
mission brings this purpose into clear
consciousness. The structure of a
rural community is exceedingly com
plex; 1t contains many social groups,
each of which has it's own center, but
there are many localities which have
but one church and although such
a church cannot command the inter.
est of all the people, 1t is relieved
from the embarrassment of religlously
divided communities

RURAL SOCIAL cENTERs

We need social centers where orr

rectlon of cultured, clean and com.
petent leadership, where aesthetic
surroundings stir the love for tho
beautiful, where art charges the A..
mosphere with inspiration and mower
and innocent amusements instruct
and brighten their lives.
To hold our young people on tha
farm we must make farm life moro
attractive as we'll as the business ~

A broad campaign of publicity on
the subject OF rural life is needed in
this state today to bring the problems
of the farmers to the forefront. The
city problems are blazoned upon the
front pages of the metropolitan dali.
les and echoed in the country press,
but the troubles Of the farmers are
seldom told, except by those who
seek to profit by the story, and the
glitter of the package ofttimes OBJ
scures the substance. A searching in
yestigation into the needs Of the
farmers will reveal many inherent de.
fects In our economic system that can
be easily remedied when properly I'm.
derstood and Illuminated by the pow
er Of the press.
The rural press, the pulpit and tho
school are trinity Of powerful In.
fluences that the farmer must utilize
to their fullest capacity before he can
occupy commanding position in pub
lie affairs. These gigantic agencies are
organized In every rural community
and only await the patronage and CO.
operation of the farmers to fully de-
velop their energy and usefulness.
They are local forces working for
the best interests Of their respective
communities. Their work Is to build
and their object is to serve. They
prosper only through the development
and prosperity of the community.
Every farmer In this state should
subscribe for the local paper, as we'll |
as farm periodicals and such other |
publications as he may find profitable, |
but he should by all means subscribe |
for his local paper, and no home
should be without it. The local paper
Is part Of the community life and the

we will do so in this instance.
The transportation facilities OF tho
United States are inadequate to Of.

MERGE and particularly In the South

is needed to accommodate the move.

dom Of our Railroad Commissions an
increase In freight rates is necessary
to bring about an improvement In our
transportation service, and an exten.
sion of our mileage. then an increase
should be granted, and the farmer Is
willing to share such proportion of
the increase as Justly belongs to him,
but we have some suggestions to make
as to the manner In which this In.
crease shall be levied.
