WAR DEMANDS
TRAINING Of
MORE NURSE
Thousands of Young Women
Are Needed to Fin Ranks
of Nurses In Red Cross
Service

Thousands of patriotic young wom-
en- throughout the country are looking
for ways in which they can serve the
government at the present time
The Bureau of Nursing of the Lake
Division. American Red Cross, Cleve-
land, points out that there is no form
of service open to women more great
ly needed than that rendered by the
nurses of the country.
The Red Cross Nursing Service
for which most registered nurses are
eligible-constitutes the reserve for
the army and the navy nurse corps.
1t is calling for many hundreds of
highly qualified nurses for service
abroad in our own hospitals and those
of our allies. 1t is also calling many
hundreds for service in the base hos
pitfalls in our cantonments.
1--WE have" says Miss Roberts,
nurses enough to meet our present
need, but in order to maintain our
health standards at home during and
after the war and to continue to care
for our armies many more must be
trained.
1.-The need for skilled nurses during
the next few years will be the great
est the world has ever known and the
number of students in the spring
classes now being enrolled in the
schools for nurses throughout the
country should be limited only by the
teaching facilities Of the schools and
by the clinical facilities of the hos,
pitfalls with which they are connected"
The committee on nursing of the
general medical board of the Council
Of National Defense has encouraged
those hospitals possessing sufficient
clinical material to increase their ia.
cilities for the thorough training OF
nurses and in many instances this
has been done.
Following are some of the advan
tageS in nursing education and some
points young woman should con
slider in selecting training school:

Parents as we'll as pupils will be in

school students will learn Of the rise
of the machine industry, from the day
of the hand loom and the spinning

by the Industrial revolution, to the
large-scale productions, world mar

Punish the SIackers Who
Gain Release Through Crime

DishOnorable discharges from the
army, which many officers believe have
been seized upon by slackers as the
vehicle of escape from military serv-
ice, will no longer provide such OppOr-
tunity, under an order issued by Sec
rotary Baker. For several weeks the
army has been losing men at the rate
of 100 to 80 a day. They chose to
commit offenses which led to their dis
honorable discharge. In the future,
Secretary Baker ordered, such men
will get terms of Imprisonment with
their discharges, and whenever posi-
Bile some other form of sentence will
be used

Bits of Wisdom.

Good habits of some men are
as expensive as the bad habits
of others.
A woman isn't necessarily
homely because she is unspeak-
ably beautiful.
When a man is really in love
he thinks there is but one wom-
an in the world.
Some people never know
when to stop and others never
know when to begin.
The man who marries an Or
phan can't blame his troubles
on his wife's mother.
A wise woman always lets
herself get the worst of an argu-
ment with an egotist.

Hay Used as Tea.

Many tons of hay from the Swiss
mountains have been exported to Ger

high attitudes. The price paid for this
hay is between So and So for 100
pounds.

You can save about Sc. and have
q better remedy than the ready
made kind. Easily done.

If YOU combined the curative proper
ties of every known "ready-made" cough
remedy, you would hardly have in them
all the curative power that lies in this
simple s'home- made cough syrup which
takes only few minutes to prepare.
Get from any druggist 2h ounces of
Pinex $50 cents WORTH pour it into a
pint bottle and fill the bottle with plain
granulated sugar syrup. The total cost
is about 60 cents and gives you a full
pint of really better cough syrup than
YOU could buy ready-made for $3.50.
Tastes pleasant and never spoils.
This Pinex and sugar syrup prepare
ton gets right at the cause of q cough
and gives almost immediate relief 1t
loosens the phlegm, stops the nasty
throat tickle and heals the sore, irri-
tated membranes that line the throat,
chest and bronchial tubes, SO gently
and easily that it is really astonishing.
A days use will usually overcome the
ordinary cough and for bronchitis,
Group, whooping cough and bronchial
asthma, there is nothing better.
Pinex is most valuable concentrated
compound of genuine Norway pine ex-
tract, and has been used for generations
to break up severe coughs.
To avoid disappointment, be sure to
ask your druggist for "215 ounces of
Pinex" with full directions, and don't
accept anything else. A guarantee of
absolute satisfaction or money prompt
" refunded, goes with this preparation.

SAYS U. S. BOYS WANT
TO GET AT THE HUNS
Captain Hoge Talks Of COndi-

The Baltimore Sun publishes an in
teresting interview with Capt. Ben
jamin f. Hoge, nephew of S. v.
Fiery and E. N. Fiery, of Martins
burg, and well known in this city,
where he has often visited and who
has just returned to Baltimore after
many weeks spent in the English,
French and American trenches. Cap

and was captain OF the army foot ball
squad the last year at the academy.
He went to France upon the staff
Of General Townsley who asked for
his appointment to that position. He
married Miss Parran, of Baltimore
Captain Hoge declares that there
never has been assembled a more en-
thusiastic and physically-capable band
of soldiers than the Americans, and
that they are in the pink of condition
and straining at the leash to get at"
the Huns. They are as hard as
nails" and careful training has put
them in perfect fighting trim.
In his travels through France, Cap
tain Hoge says, he talked to many
French and English officers and sol
diers. He says that all are looking
to the United States as the deciding
factor in the war America has the
man-power and the finances, but, he
declares, there must be many sacri-
fees on the part OF American people
to assure victory for the allies.
Captain Hoge has gone to join Gen.
eral Townsley, who has resumed com
mand of the camp at Greenville, S.
