First Work of Yankees
in Trench Warfare
Indicates High Quality

French Front in France, Friday,
March 15.-There have been dozens
of trench raids and minor actions
everywhere along the western front
during the past fortnight, but the
French, American and British SOL
diers have started as many of them
as have the Germans.
Each side is sounding the other at
this moment and occasionally these
soundings develop into sharp en-
counters without any sequel. Such
demonstrations may be expected to
become more important and more
violent as the spring advances.
The troops of every branch of the
service have a feeling of superiority
and have been encouraged immen-
sely by the arrival of increasing
numbers of Americans, whose first
efforts in trench warfare have shown
their high quality.

Dauphin County Lags in
Thrift Stamp Campaign

What has happened to Dauphin
county in the War Savings campaign?
This is the puzzle that is mystifying
men who arc boosting the drive. Thus
far Dauphin county has only invested
$3.50. 80 while York has gone over
with $177.95O. This means a percapita
mark of $l1S. or 80 cents head
more than Dauphin has contributed.
Cumberland county has bought $108,-
800. or a percapita investment of $1.SS,
and this is $l02 more than Dauphin.
The national campaign is set for
finishing on December 81, 1918, and
the campaign is now a little over
$300,OOO,00O behind its schedule. The
nation has now passed the 500, ,000,-
600 mark, and Washington thinks
from now on things will move more
lively, because much time was spent
in educating the public to understand
the significance of War Stamps and
Baby Bonds.

When the Pennsylvania State Col
lege celebrates its wartime COM
mencement, on April "a. a senior class
of approximately $50 will be grad
uated.. This estimate was made by A.
II. Espenshade, the college registrar.
The graduating class will be consid-
crably smaller than those of recent
years, because of the great number
of Withdrawals from college for serv-
ice with tho dag.
The School of Engineering which
is Penn States largest and fastest

will be a weekly feature thereafter.
Paid inspectors will do the work

to insure that the farmers are re-
ceiving adequate service.
Minimum wages for boys living
with the farmers are 81 and board
for the first week and 81 and board
thereafter. For boys who live at
farm camps. which will also be es-
tablished, the rates are 81 a day for

400 More Vaccinated in
Roundup by City Officers

City health officials last night vec-
cinated more than 400 residents in
the uptown district, visiting all houses
in Seventh street, between Verbeke
and Reilly, residences in Calder and
Currant streets. The vaccinations
were necessitated by the discovery
of another case of smallpox the latest
victim being Joe Moulton, 651 Calder
street.
With the hundreds which were Wis
tied last night, health authorities
have vaccinated almost 1900 persons
during the last two weeks. The State
Department of Health, realizing the
seriousness of the situation. has sent
out letters to every employer of labor
in Dauphin and Cumberland counties
urging them to see that every en-
ploye who has not been vaccinated
in five years is made immune from the
disease. The letter is signed by b. +.
Roger, Acting Commissioner.

on the decision recently given by
Judge McCarrell on the weight and
measure laws of 1911 and the amend

probably make an effort to have a

Helps for Home Nurses.

| A working knowledge of the fllnda-
mental principles of home nursing
gives power to interpret the directions
of the physician and also puts the
home maker in perfect sympath thy with
his directions. This spirit of coopera-
ton assists the physician in doing his
best work.
The qualifications of the successful
nurse are identical with the ideal wo-
man. The chief qualifications are neat
ness, good temper, poise, gentle firm
ness, tact, which is another name for
common sense, and good health. The
ability to adapt herself to circumstan-
ces is valuable asset. Neatness
means clean person, simply c0inbed
hair, well shod feet, clean, simply
made cotton dresses, clean teeth, clean
hands, clean nails and Il closed mouth
is always to be kept in mind.
The sick room should be light, well
ventilated and clean, with no excess
of furniture and up stairs. The bed
should be so located as to protect the
eyes from strong light, and the patient
from direct draught. However, ven
tilation must be carried on continual
ly day and night.
All linen bedding or garments used
| in the sick room should be absolutely
1 clean, all soiled linen being removed
as soon as possible.
Invalid diet is classified as:
| Liquid. Including brOths, milk,
cocoa, cream soups.
Soft diet. Including soft cooked
eggs, milk toast and custards.
3.-Solids. Including cereals, eggs,
vegetables, meats and desserts.
The doctor will prescribe the dict
and the nurse must see that it is pro-
perly prepared and served. She should
never consult the patient as to his diet.
If he should express a desire for a GER
tain food which is allowable, it may
be served at the next meal.
| Before bringing in the tray, have the
lpatient ready for the meal--facc and
hands bathed and pillows adjusted. If
an invalid's table is not available, Il
file of magazines may he put ON each
side Of the patients knees on which to
set the tray. The tray should be made
just as attractive as possible, never
crowded. 1t is better to serve too lit
tie and bring more on request than to
destroy the appetite with an overload
ed tray. Serve hot foods hot and cold
foods cold.
