RED CROSS WANTS NURSES.

The Red Cross Society is again is
suing an appeal to the young women
of the country, those who are willing
for a patriotic motive, to serve their
country in time of war, to take up
the nursing profession. A call has
come from the Army Medical De-
partment for $4,000 registered nurses
who are needed in the service here
and abroad.
TIL call is issued in order that these
young women who may proffer their
services may begin training at once,
and in the course of time relieve the
registered nurses, who will be needed
in the army hospitals overseas.
The Lake Division of the Red Cross.
of which Kentucky is part, is out
for the minimum number of 1900
nurses. Of this number Bourbon
County is asked to send ten. Three
have already gone from here to the
service, two of them with the DR.. Bar
row Hospital Unit. These ten vol
unteers are wanted Immediately for
training. Registered nurses in the
county have been asked to accept on
ly the most urgent calls, so that their
services may be at the disposal of the
Government.
Girls and young women in this city
and county who would be willing to
show their patriotism in this cause
by volunteering as nurses in this
service are requested to call on or
communicate with Mrs. Arthur b.

Nationwide Economy.

:, To carry out the program Of ma
tional economy demanded of the
American people by the war they
must adopt scientific and systematic
methods of economy. Spasmodic and
periodic saving will not fulfill the de-
mand upon us.
One method that has been propos-
ed and has the approval of the Treas
ury Department is for every American
to pledge himself or herself to econ
imze and save, and with the savings
at definite periods purchase specific
amounts of war-savings stamps. s
We must give our Nation, we must
give our men in arms, all the strength
and support possible To do this we
must cut our own demands on the
labor, material, and money of the
country to the limit, and increase to
the limit the supply of money, ma
terial, and labor available to the Gov
erument All of the energies and re-
sources should be devoted to the. win
ming of the war, and to accomplish
this we must economic, save, and
lend to the Government.
A definite systematic plan of saw
ing. strengthened by resolve and a
pledge TO save and lend to the Gov
eminent, will be productive of the
best results. The savings plan cam
paign is now on. Every patriotic
American should make a pledge to
save and keep the pledge. go.

Show Your Pleasure.

If anything pleases your eye or
palate, or adds to your enjoyment of
life in any way, say so. 1t is not fair
pleasure and then take it for granted
that you are pleased, when, perhaps,
neither words, looks or actions ex-
press anything of the kind.
1t is bad enough to expect grown
people to understand your feelings,
but in mercy to the children do give
them the word of praise which their
efforts to help or please you deserves.
1t is not only right but good policy
as well to know this. You have only
to watch the face of a child when it
has tried to help you; give it the word
of praise or thanks which it deserves
and watch the lighting UP of the lit
tie face, then take note of it's actions
and very soon you will see that it is
watching for an opportunity to do
something else for you; and if you
ask the favor how willingly the little
feet and hands do the bidding. On
the other hand take their efforts as a
matter of course and see the face
: show how keen1y the neglect is felt.
While human nature remains what
it is, word of appreciation will
never be lost on old or young and is
one of the best paying investments
which can be made. Some say, Il
don't care whether they like it or
not" but that is all nonsense for
man, woman or child; we every one
of us feel our heart grow warm un-
der merited praise, and if we de,
serve, which rarely happens in this
world, we try to deserve more next
: time.

AMERICAN WAR NURSES.

Comprehensive plans for caring
and providing for American War
nurses in France have been adopted
by the American Red Cross, and word
has just been received at National
Headquarters showing that Major
James H. Perkins, Red Cross Com
missioner to France, has initiated
reorganization of his staff of work
ers in accordance with them.
A bureau of Hospital Service, with
Miss Ruth Morgan in charge, has
been created by Major Perkins. 1t
will concern itself only with nurses
and nurses aids who are are attached
to the American Expeditionary Force
in France, or doing work among the
French civilian population. The bu-
reau will provide for nurses holt
days, their recreation, convalescent
care, hotel and club accommodation,
equipment, etc. The need of such or-
ganized work has been apparent for
several months. The bureau has
been granted separate budget and
has power to requisition supplies.
20 Miss Julia G. Stimson is the new
ly appointed chief nurse of the
American Red Cross in France, being
assigned to this position by the Sur
geon-General of the American Expe-
dictionary Force. She will be the Red
Cross connection with the Army
Nurse Corps of the American forces
abroad, and will be in charge of en-
rollment, assignment, and direction
of Red Cross nurses. She will report
directly to the Bureau of Nursing at
National Headquarters.-Red Cross

WHY A CENsoRSHIP,

Secretary Bakers arrival in France
was made public. His departure was
kept a secret though every newspaper
in the country knew about it. The
news was sent out from Washington
as confidential dispatch to all ed
itors having a news service, yet no
word was published or gossiped about
it. Yet some people think there must
be an official censorship to make the
newspapers of the country behave

Renewed testimony; tested by

Mrs. G. w. Newman, E. Tenth St.,
Paris, says: 81 had backaches and
headaches and at times was very
nervous. My kidneys were weak and
inactive. 1 heard about Doan's Kid
ney Pills and used them and they
soon had me feeling better in every
way"
Mrs. Newman gave the above &C
count of her experience with Doan's
Kidney Pills on January II, 1912,
and on November 9, 1916, she said:

REDUCTION IN HOG CHOLERA
LOSSES.

One hundred and sixty trained vet
erinarians of the Department of Ag-
riculture are working in 33 States,
in cooperation with agricultural col
leges, State authorities and local vet
erinarians, to control hog cholera.
The effectiveness of their efforts and
the success of modern methods of
combating this disease is shown by
the fact that during 1914 the hog
mortality from disease was 100000
head, as compared to 100000 in
the year ending March, 1918, 80 per
cent. of the deaths being due to hog
cholera. The losses in 1914 were
equivalent to the normal cOnsump-
ton of pork and pork products by the
entire population of the United States
for 81 days.

Private Peat, the famous soldier
who after two years of the worst
part of the war has come back to

FIGHTING WITH HOE

In an article on war gardens in
the March Woman's Home Compan-
ion appears this call to arms-or to
hoes:
ITO make a garden this spring and
summer is truly a stern necessity, as
we'll as a patriotic duty-and privi-
lege.. The efforts of the small gar
dener, the home gardener, are go
ing to be of still greater importance
than they were last year; actual
famine menaces all creation, and
we are face to face with a situation
that stirs every instinct of self pres
ervation, as well as to the nobler
impulses of patriotism and human
ity. Let me urge, indeed, that this
is no eXaggeration, but barely the
truth.
Look to the garden implements
now; get everything ready for use,
so that when the time comes to use
it there may not be an instant's de-
lay. Have labels whitfield out and
punched, ready for planting at the
end of every row when the seed is
sown have such charts as may be
needed for daily reference pasted on
cardboard and tackled up in the most
convenient place; make sure that
every mechanical device is ready,
that spray materials are on hand,
and powders and fertilizers-and
make sure that you yourself are
ready with a good general knowledge
of how to use all Of these things"

WAR NEWS IN CHINA

AS 1 watch the hurrying steepe,
my memory flashes back to a night
in a mud walled inn beyond the
Great Wall of China, when the news
o. the war came creeping in to
caravaners there on the fringe of
things, like rumors of the Judgment
Day; messenger splashed the white
dust of the road, dispatches in his
bag for the living Buddha in Urga,
but no idea in fiat Mongol head of
who was friend and who was foe.
All along the road the next day
it was the same tale; the Chinese
hawkers with cages swung on poles
across their shoulders had no news
beyond the price of thrushes; the
Russian tea merchant, too, was un-
informed-but the canny merchant
was folding his blue summer tent
