REGISTERED NURSE
TELLS OF WORK OF
COMMUNITY NURSE

Ida M. Spaeth, registered nurse,
Henry Spears Memorial Hospital,
who came here to advise with Mrs.
]. C. Thompson, Mrs. Williams Fort
and Mrs. d. l.. Rainey concerning
the arrangements necessary for the
employment of Ardmore's commun-
itv nurse, who will take up her du-
ties about October |, told of a spe-
cial course of training now being
held in Oklahoma City for the pur-
pose of preparing graduate nurses
for community service.
At meeting of the Housewives
League Friday, Miss Spaeth, who is
an expert on public health, gave the
committee and officers of the league
and members of the Ardmore branch
of the Oklahoma Association for the
Prevention of tuberculosis, a
graphic account of the possibilities
of public health work in the home
and school and in the handling and
prevention Of tuberculosis.
Ardmore's nurse WILL in part, be
supported by the public schools and
will give instruction in home nurs-
ing and hygiene and it is hoped that
good results will be obtained along
the two lines of work which she IS
especially sent out to do, child well
fare work in connection with the
Woman's Committee of the Nation
al Council of Defense and in caring
for soldiers who have developed
cases OF latent tuberculosis In the
training camps.
Community nurses also act as
visiting nurses and give instruction
on actual help in materity. conta-
gious and other charity cases. The
work is almost entirely for the pre-
vention of epidemics in the schools,
which alone would justify a nurse
presence in Ardmore.
All nurses are in part supported
by the Tuberculosis Association and
the remainder of her salary and ex-
penses, it is expected, will be
made up by the various organiza-
tions of the city, including all the
Mothers Clubs, the churches civic
and fraternal organizations and the
school board. After January !, it is
believed the Tuberculosis Associa-
ton will be merged into the Red
Cross so that all the work comes un-
her one head. At present, local
members of the association include
Mark. Kirkpatrick, III. @. Spaulding'
DR.. Walter Hardy and Mrs. julius
Kahn.

BAT PROLETARIAT

Amsterdam, Aug. 6. Correspond
ence of The Associated Press)-Ihe
Imperial League for Combating
Social Democracy" has issued a
manifesto foreshadowing serious
wage troubles in Germany after the
war, dissolution OF the reichstag and
the collapse of the middle class. 1t
warns against rising of the pro-
letariat, and asks for funds to
strengthen "the defensive war
against social democratic aggres-
sion"
The socialist paper Vorwaerts OF
Berlin declares the appeal "oppor-
tunely reminds us that after the war
the second decisive battle for Ger
many's future begins"
1t urgently exhorts all workers
to prepare to fight mamonisni, so
that at the end of the war we are not
overpowered by the uncomfortable
domination of capitalism"

Tie State Grange Meets.

The Vermont State Grange in it's
annual convention in Burlington last
week, adopted resolutions opposing
the eight-hour law and urging the re-
turn of railroads to private owner
ship. Incorporated in the resolution
relative to hours of labor was the
statement that the farmer realizes
that his interests and that of organ
lied labor are opposite.
Government control of railroads
was opposed on the ground that IL
months federal control had been dis
appointing and unsatisfactory. Re-
turn of roads to the original owners
at the earliest practical time and with
strict government regulations was
urged.
Resolutions were also adopted fav-
oring law to dispose of the rowing
dog so as to protect sheep; favoring
reclamation of swamp and waste
lands for the returning soldiers; en-
dorsing the federal reserve banking
system; urging state aid for county
agricultural agents, and advocating
return to the single mailing system
of magazines and periodicals..
The secretary's report showed that
the state grange has 14,O9O men,
bers. No selection of place for the
1919 convention was made.
