AID FOR ALL NOW
Public Health Nurses Prepared
To Answer Every Call.
Mrs. C. C. Bailey Explains Work
Being Done Here.

The plans of the Topeka Public
Health Nursing association have been
so perfected now that no case of sick
ness in need of nursing care in the city
need to go unprovided for, according
to the head nurse of the association,
Mrs. Charles c. Bailey. THE different
services are: The free, the pay, the
life insurance nursing service. and the
hourly SERVICE" Mrs. Bailey explains.
THE departments, of the work are:
Clinic work for babies in cooperation
with the child welfare department of
the woman's committee of the council
of defense: care of sick patients and
of tubercular patients The hourly
nursing department has it's own spe-
cial nurse and answers any call, day
or night"
Nurses Teach Prevention.
1.-The importance of the service rem
dered by the association" Mrs. Bailey
says, sis evidenced bXuits growth. In
1912 there were betwVen one and two
thousand public health nurses in the
Country: now there are upwards of
six thousand persons doing this work,
and the demand is continually increas-
ing. Besides caring for the sick, the
public health nurse teaches in the
homes she visits lessons of preventive
medicine.
From among the sick in any COM
munity not more than one in ten goes
to the hospital. At the moment when
a family is much in need of nursing
help, the public health nurse, in her
blue uniform with the insignia of the
society on the sleeve of her costume,
enters the home, cares for the patient
and gives suggestions and instruction
in the principles and practice of
healthful living. Each nurse visits
six or eight patients a day. She in
structs the attendant how to care for
the patient during the hours of the
day when she cannot be on the job.
Protect Soldier Homes.
THAT the future generations may
not suffer from weakness and disease
allowed to take hold of the nation at
home during the war, the public must
give it's cooperation to every agency
| that safeguards the health Of the fami-
lies of the soldiers.
"If the proper care is taken of the
home people during the conflict, a
stronger and more vigorous race will
develop after the war"

6s%pEy-r or AeeicygrURe HOWJ9 sROW ;!: Q Sweet Potato I

The sweet potato thrives best in the southern part of the country as it is a tropical plant. It cannot be success fully grown in the extreme northern sections of the country. The plants are started in hotbeds by bedding po- tatoes in sand and allowing them to sprout. The plants are broken off the parent potato as soon as they have formed few leaves and root sys- tenn of their own, and as soon as the ground in the open is well warmed up. This will be one month after the date of the last killing frost.
 Sweet potatoes are a heat-loving plant, and cannot withstand cool heather. In setting them in the open, the usual method is to throw the soil up in ridges about feet apart. The plants are set in a TOW on top of these ridges some 12 or 14 inches apart.
 Sweet potatoes thrive best in a sandy soil that is well fertiIized throughout It is a good plan to open furrows where the row is to be fv these furrows with manure and turn the soil back on top of the manure This should be thoroughly mixed with a shovel blow or cultivator, as too much manure in one spot under the hole will produce a large growth of vines at the expense of the potatoes.
 Sweet potatoes may be dug at any tia.e after they become large enough to use, but improve in quality as they approach maturity. They should be dug as soon as the vines are killed by trSst-U. s. Department of AgricuI- tU'e.

Saturdays Contest Used to Try Out Many New PIayers-Eddie Murray Star of Game.

Saturday afternoon on the Campus, the Academy suffered the fourth straight defeat at the hands of picked up team styling themselves the All-Stars. Since the Submarine Base team was unable to play owing to a misunderstanding a scrub team was organized and Coach Sullivan improv- ed the opportunity to try out a num- Der of players. In fact only two of the regulars played their positions throughout the entire game.
 Perkins, who pitched for the All Stars is a former N. F. A. player and took great joy in wallopping his for mer team mates. He pitched .brainy ball and was well supported both of fensiVely and defensively. He held the school boys to eight hits and only is- sued one pass. Counihan made his de- but as a pitcher and was hit hard and was relieved in the seventh by Fitz- gerald. Campbell and Mcknight re- ceived trials behind the bat
 The Academy started off by finding Perkins for three runs in the first in- ming. The All Stars, however, went into the lead in the third inning and never relinquished their advantage from that time on. Perkins let the school boys down with run in the fourth and fifth after which he easily blanked them. A more fitting name for the visiting team would have beer the One-Sta Eddie Murray on short stop was tbe great luminary fthe game and was the chief cause of the Academy defeat He secured three doubles and two singles out of sever times at bat.
