too valuable; you mustn't iniure it with

RELEASE NURSES
FOR VAR SERVICE
That Is One of the Greatest Services That
the American Woman Can Do, Says
Miss Elizabeth Ross.

"One OF the greatest services that the
American woman can give is TO release
the trained nurse for war service The
| burden of this release must of necessity
fall upon the home maker, but no woman
who has proper attitude toward her
country should use the trained nurse ex-
cept in real emergency. To keep a
trained nurse caring for well baby, or
a luxury loving semi-invalid, is depriv.
ing the soldier at the front from what is
his just due.
This is the statement of Miss Elizabeth
Ross, director Of the bureau of nursing,
New England division OF the Red Cross
This part of the country is called upon
to supply $500 trained nurses at once
for service in France and in the camps
in America. Application should be made
by letter or in person to the Bureau of
Nursing. Division Headquarters, 755
Boylston street, Boston.
Nurses should no longer be allowed to
serve as a luxury to people who can care
for themselves" says Miss Ross. "The
public must give them up to war service
just as they give up other Injuries
Nurses with general training are needed
at once at home and abroad. The pay
at present is $50 month for work
abroad and $50 at home, There is every
reason to believe that each class viii soon
