Miss Permelia Clarke. assisted by Miss
Fern Tillman. under the direction of
the nursing department of the Red
Cross, will conduct classes in elemen-
tary hygiene and home care of the
sick at the Deaconess hospital.
Miss Clarke has very kindly do
mated to the Red Cross the use of the
hospital equipment and suitable
room for the work. 1t is most earn
estly desired that the women of VAL
ley County chapter take up the work.
The purpose of the Red Cross in

The course will be given in fifteen
lessons extending over a period of five
weeks. 1t begins with instruction on
the cause and prevention of disease
Following the lessons in prevention of
disease such instruction is given in
the care of the sick in the home as will
enable woman to meet her newt
able duties with increased under
standing and usefulness. The course
in no wise qualities woman as pro-
fessional nurse, but at this time of
emergency the knowledge gained
should enable her to assume more re-
sponsibility for the care in her home,
thus releasing the graduate nurse who
NAV be needed for active service in
military hospitals.
1t is not the purpose of the Red
Cross to conduct this course as
source of income, so the chapter has
placed the entrance fee at the lowest
figure possible. The cost of the en-
tire course will be $4.O5. Of this
amount 55 cents will be spent for a
text book, which becomes the property
of the student. and fifty cents goes to
the National Red Cross.
At the completion Of the series of
lessons. examinations will be conduct
ed by the instructor, based on the les
sons given. To be eligible for exam
nations, students must attend at least
twelve of the fifteen lessons. A GER
tificate will be issued to those who at
tain not less than Is per cent in the
final average.
Those who contemplate taking up
this work should notify either the
chapter chairman or secretary at the
earliest possible date.

FIRE NEAR PLENTYWOOD.

A. very disastrous flre occurred on
the farm of Mr.. Campbell, who lives
about eighteen miles southwest of
Plentywood, last Monday night. The
Campbell family were suddenly called
east Sunday last, and Monday morn
ing left in answer. Reports were
brought to town Tuesday morning
that at about ten o'clock Monday
night neighbors noticed the large
house was enwrapped in flames.
Shortly after this was discovered the
granary was seen to be on fire and
almost simultaneously the barn
caught. The buildings were a reason
able distance from each other and the
fact that they all burned at nearly the
same time seems strange.
This will prove great loss to the
Campbells as all the buildings were
practically new, having been erected
only last fall. Everything was a total
loss, harness, household goods, etc.
Later reports state all evidence points
to incendiarism. The state fire mar
shal is on the grounds investigating
matters.
