SELL LIBERTY BONDS? WHY NOT?''
ASKS MRS. DANIEL GUGGENHEIM
Mother With Two Sons in
Service Says She Is Glad
to Help Uncle Sam Float
New Issue
Women Especially Fitted
to Assist in Raising
Money for War Purposes,
Declares Wife Of Mining
Operator

Government for war purposes is one
Of the things which we women can do"
she continued. There are many things
which we would like to do. many ways
in which we would like to help but in
which our unframed efforts would prove
hindrance. There are others better
fitted by training for labors in which
specialization is required. II is our duty
and our part OF the general working
rcgram to raise the money TO nav
the salaries OF these trained workers.
TO supply our army and navy with
everything it needs and to keep fit all
engaged in active war endeavors and
see that they are equipped for the most
effective service.
Working for a Liberty Loan is not
as romantic or exciting as serving as a
Red Cross nurse in some hospital in
France, but it is just as necessary. Ma
poleon stated that there were three es-
sentials to carrying on a successful war
money, money and more money The
same thing holds good today. Money is
the motive power of the great war ma
chine, and IL this fails, then the entire
machine is useless Selling Liberty
Bonds is not difficult, but requires per-
sistence, concentration and ceaseless ef-
fort
Many persons will promise to sub
scribe, but have so many other interests
that the matter is forgotten and in such
cases keep after them constantly, writ
ing, calling them up on the telephone
and making personal visits. It takes
great deal of my time, but it is well
worth while. And ] make a point Of
never letting a possible subscriber es-
cape.
Then, TO tell the truth. l really do not
consider buying Liberty Bonds a sacri-
flee, for. after ALL they are a very wise
and safe investment. do considerable
work among the factory workers on the
lower East Side, and many of them come
70 me for advice about investing their
little savings. They worry for fear the
war will affect them adversely in some
way Invariably say to them. Invest
in Liberty Bonds. there is nothing safer
They are as safe as the nation itself. and
II the nation falls no investment will be
of any use"

gun in response to the call of the Gov.
ernment.
I'VE realized he said. that we may
have to establish many new hospitals
over here and that technictsts are very
scarce. Therefore we asked the city to
give a course and the pathological labo-
ratory at the Municipal Hospital was
offered. DR.. Charles Scott Miller, at
515 City Hall, has charge and the course
ic given under Doctor White. IL re-
quires intensive study and application,

BY KATHARINE TUCKER

ENOR many years in Philadelphia the
visiting nurse has been quictl,
making her rounds i'm the homes Of the
sick, giving bedside care to the patients,
instruction how to nurse and feed them
and how to guard the health of others
of the family by proper precautions and
proper diet. In most Of these homes
she leaves her permanent mark, because
the housewife has learned something
from her. not only about taking care Of
the members of her family when they
are M. but about keeping them we'll
She has always been the exponent OF
what we now term preventive hy-
giene.'
Her work when it has been known
at all. has been taken for gran d as
one of many worthy charities though.
incidentally. there are many patients
who pays the entire or partial cost OF the
visit. OF course. every one engaged IN
so-cailed charities is in the larger
Interpretation public servant: out
those who guard the health Of the peo-
pie are surely public servants in a pecu-
liar sense. The conditions Of war arc
at last proving to the blindest of us
that health---yours, mine, our neighbor's 5
]
tional necessity, a national responsible
| ity. The present crisis is imposing new
obligations on the visiting nurse. and
more clearly than ever revealing the
dignity and Significance of her work as
a servant OF the nation.
The war has taken away many nurses
and doctors from hospitals, dspensaries
and private practice. 1t is the visiting
nurse who is most often called upon to
ftll this gap. The war is demanding for
all of us a higher standard OF health
than ever before, especially for the in
dustrial workers. and for the little chill
dren, who must grow up strong for the
work OF the years to come; at the same
time, it is making that standard Of
health more difficult of realization, since
il has disrupted homes, sent many
women into new industries and brought
about food and financial conditions that
violently alter family habits and family
diet The visiting nurse, welcome as
sistaut in these homes in times of sick
ness! has had training and experience
that fit her TO help the housewife adjust
herself TO the new situation
In Philadelphia and Boston, al least,
perhaps in other cities, the nurses are
taking instruction this winter in food
values. with especial reference to war
regulations and war prices, and are
teaching the housewives with whom they
come in contact in their rounds the sim
plest and most nutritious foods, particu-
larly for the children
The war also is indicating to the pub
lie more clearly than ever before an ex-
tension Of visiting nurse service that
has long been dream Of those engaged
In il. Visiting nurse service should not
be confined to the poor. There are
