PRINCESS PATRICIA VISITS
HOSPITALS EVERY THURSDAY

ORPINGTON, England, Feb. TO-
The Princess Patricia Of Connaught
and Mrs. John Aston, the first wife OF
the late Colonel John Jacob Astor
are among the teachers in the new
manual training department at the On
tario Military Hospital here. The
Princess is a specialist in the use of
chintz, and has taught a number of
the men methods of using this mater
ial for the manufacture of decorative
lamp-shades and similar small articl-
es. Mrs. Aston has a class in wood
carving, her speciality being photo
graph frames.
Princess Patricia visits the hospitals
every Thursday, Usually bringing with
her an assortment of bright colored
chintz which she has collected at var
ious places during the week. For the
use Of the wounded men, 1t is essent-
ial that the fabric shall be specially
chosen for the definiteness of their de-
sign and the ease with which con-
valescent man can manipulate the ma
terial and select the special features
in it's design which pleases him most.
The medical staff naturally well
comes these occupations for the long
dull days. They keep the men from
brooding ever their pain.
The hospital was founded by the
Canadian government about nine
months ago, and now has about a
thousand patients.

ordinary interest.
The collection is a large one and

Starve for mothers breast!

Hungry and pinched with woe,
Ache for the gentle kisses
Your lips ache to bestow!
Somewhere the locks you dream Of

Somewhere the child you long for.
Wanting the look of child.
Somewhere a rich endowment,
Ungauged, with none to care;
Somewhere precious task laid down,
Somewhere? Nay, everywhere!

The wastage of human progress
The orphanhood of the race.

How the Nurse at Home Helps Win the War.

ing to Keep Soldiers
Families Well.

The home fight being waged in Amer
lea to supply our soldiers with food and
ammunition and conserve natural and
human resources is as important as the
fight In the trenches. The soldier will
give the last drop OF his blood in vain
il the people at home are not with him.
In order to back him to the limit they,
too. must be in fighting trim, strong and
efficient.
One of the big questions to-day Is how
to make and keep the country one hundred
per cent efficient. Health experts main
tain that no community can render its
most effective war service If it is under
mined by disease. They believe that in
tensive home work among the sick and
near sick will 60 far toward helping ~ to
win the war
For this reason the National Associa-
ton for the Study and Prevention Of
Tuberculosis is laying special stress on
the need Of visiting nurses to go into the
peoples homes and teach them how to
nurses work will react on the community
and have its effect on the men in the
trenches.
As an example Of what visiting tuber-
culosis nurse may mean to an American
soldier in France. the association cites a
case which has come to its attention since

to take the 'curc" Tae nurse has never
lost track of the wife since her husband
left She makes weekly reports to q
relative, who 10 turn writes to the man
In the trenches telling him of his wife's
improvement
The association asks this question -
"How do you suppose these letters react
upon the man in Pershings army? Don't
you imagine they help to fire him with
fighting zeal and enable him to stand
Loyalty by the task he has undertaken"
To-day the visiting nurse shares re.
sponsibility with the war nurse. Though
her duty is at homo, she is just as much
concerned in winning the war as the Red
Cross nurse because she is keeping the
homes of our fighters safe. The tuber-
culosis nurse has also an immediate war
task of caring for the men who have been
rejected from the army or returned from
environments on account of tuberculosis
It is estimated that there will be at least
100000 of these among the 100000
registered for draft. This condition gives
an added reason why there should be more
nurses.
