ParOChiaI School News.

st. Joseph's School has become
an Auxiliary of the Red Cross, the
majority of the pupils having be-
come Junior members. On Tues
day the Red Cross buttons were
distributed, each member receiv-
inga button. All take great pride
in their membership and as soon
as material can be procured all
are anxious to do some work in
the line of sewing, knitting, etc.
During the winter recesses many
of the girls have learned to knit
and are proud of their accomplish
ment.
Glass work too has been pro-
crossing rapidly, and in spite of
the two weeks intermission, the
seventh and eighth grades have
already commenced their final re-
view in preparation for the exam
nation in May.
The ninth grade pupils have
been very busy all winter. They
have, especially found the labor
atory work i'll Physical Geography
extremely interesting. Careful
]
weather observations have been
taken from day to day and all
were delighted to find that in gen
eral they agreed with the observa-
tons of the Weather Bureau. They
have now begun the study of the
topographic map. In English,
the work has been very good. At
present great interest is shown in
Tennyson's beautiful "Idylls Of
the King"
The progress in writing has been
quite beyond the ordinary. Even
the first and second year pupils
are working for "Star" buttons.
The intermediate grades aspire to
Palmer method buttons and Prog
ress pins, while some with the
upper grades hope to obtain the
Palmer Method Certificates, as so
many of the former students have
done.

A CONTINUOUS POLICY

w. !. Burns, of Dayton, Ohio, in a re-
cent lecture said: Last year alone 1000
merchants failed; forty every business day;
one every fifteen minutes" Analysing
the cause OF these failures, he demonstrated
the fact that the great majority Of failures
occurred because OF inefficient business
methods.
During his talk he laid emphasis on the
value OF newspaper advertising to the re-
tail merchant. Among other things, Mr..
l'urns said: Except for the small store
III an outlying district of large city, more
people can be reached oftener and at less
expense by newspaper advertising than by
any other medium. But don't spend few
dollars advertising and then say advertis-
ing doesn't pay. Make advertising a con-
tinuous policy of your store, and YOU will
not be disappointed with results

DEATH RKTE OF COUNTRY AflO CITY COMPARED
Health of the Farmer Must
Be Guarded if He Is to
Feed Our Fighters.

The eyes Of the world today are
turned upon the farmer. He is ex-
pected to keep the nations supplied
with food 70. ;Le bodies Of their fight
ing men and a the same time to see
that the nonfghters are fed so they
can back up the men in the trenches
with the necessities of life.
But ali too seldom do we hear any
one worrying about his living condi-
lions. The city worker can turn to
the health authorities. the housing
commission or the various charity
boards for aid in time Of need. but
the farmer. if sickness or misfortune
comes, must fight it out for himself
with the aid of the overworked fam
lily doctor, with his long miles Of
country to cover who is often called
too late. Until recently little was
being done to better these conditions.
The Nursing Committee of the
Council of National Defense and the
Town and Country Nursing Service
of the Red Cross, however, believe
that 1t should concern the public
deeply to keep the farmer in pro per
health and give him as far as possible
equal advantages with the city resi-
dent in health teaching and supervi-
sion Therefore they are urging the
need Of rural nurses to visit in farm
ire communities and small towns and
get close to the people. studying their
needs and meeting them.
The Town and Country Nursin z
Service OF the Red Cross. with nurses
scattered about the rural sections
throughout the country. is doing its
utmost to help the small town resi-
dent, and many rural nurses connect
ed with county boards os health or
with local health associations are
striving TO keep the farmer 1T TO per-
form his patriotic duty But the
nurses in this field are mere hand
full considered in the light Of the need
for them.

he value OF this rural nursing
may be appreciated from the results
in New York state, where in the last
ten years the death rate in the rural
communities has decreased from 1876
to Is per thousand. The inadequacy
Of the work so far done, however. IS
shown by the fact that during the
same period New York city. which
has we'll organized public nursing
service. has reduced It's death rate
from s to 13.9. In other words. New
FORK city's rate ten years ago was 10
per cent. above the rural rate. while
= IS now 7 Per cent. lower.
Now that the government has IS
tablished sanitary zones about its
training camps and that nurses are
being held Jointly responsible with
physicians for the community health
in these zones. the need for nurses
trained IL rural work is increasing
The small town is coming in for its
share OF attention from the public

The lost vessels were divided into three classes; those above 500 tons those below that ton nage and fishing vessels. The real matter the of tonnage destroyed was obscured and no informa- ton that point available except when the admiralty provoked by German claims into mak- ing statement.
 These weekly publications for some not quite clear have been discontinued. Announcement is made that statement will be furnished at the end of each quarter showing the amount of tonnage that has been destroyed.
 The new plan will conceal nothing from the Ger who have always been better informed as to submarine depredatons than the rest of the world They not only know how many vessels had been sunl but also. the exact tonnage of them. In many they had this information before the admiralty
