PUBLIC HEALTH NURSING
WELL UNDER WAY
Donations of Bed Clothing and Old
Linen Very Acceptable.

The work of the public health nurs-
ing is well under foot. Every day
records many new calls. Much inter
est is being manifested and as the
movement is a purely public one the
more who show their interest directly
through a desire TO help the greater
will be the success.
The actual work devolves on the
nurse. 1t Is she who makes the calls,
notes the needs and reports the
wants. She has come into homes where
there haYe been no bed clothes. Car
pets and old garments covered the pa
tients to whom the sight of clean
sheets, no matter how old, would have
proved restful and refreshing. She is
called to babies whose christening
robes consist of a choice assortment
of rags.
Any donations Of new or worn bed
sheets, pillow cases or old linen would
be very acceptable. Flannels, gauzes,
cotton will find ready use. There is
a pressing need for Ivory soap and
safety pins. Babies outfits are loaned
to the little newcomers and passed on
from one to the next The nurse
would be glad to furnish practical pat
terms to any interested in making the
simple outfits. Old outfits will be
equally welcome together with night
robes for all ages.
All donations will be greatly appre-
ciated and may be sent to the Public
Health Nurse, No. Washington
street. United Workers Building.
