Every woman who wishes to eerve her
nation and At tho same time tit herself to
nrotcct her home should follow without
eiclay the example of some 6O,OOO women
who felt that knowledge of homo SANTA
t,ou and modern nursing WAS as necos-
sarv tn the modern housewife as ability tn
cook ualatable food. That they mifht
take measures that would protect their
households from preventahlo diseases, and
he able bv Intelligent sickroom methods to
hasten r.s,ovcry of their sick, they com
uIete,i the Red Cruess nurse IN elementary
hygiene and home caro- of the sick.
Today. when thousands of nurses and
Dhvsicians arc being withdrawn from
rIv,lian practice to serve IN our military
and naval hospitals, these homes are IN
\ peculiarly fortunate position. NO ono
of these women would assert tor mo-
ncnt that she could replace graduate
nurs, IN q serious case. But II no graduate
nurse is obtainablc, every ono OF these
women should be prepared to carry out
intellgcntiy her physician 8 oricrs, to per
form with sufficient skill many attentions
unknown except IN n hospital, to use CON
yenient appliances, and in many ways add
to the paticnt's comfort. In case of con
tsg,ous disease they arr better able to pre-
b,,en taught how to treat disease. but they
have learned how TO apply certain simple
precautions which so far to protect
homo from sickness. especially from the
preventahIe diseases which IN the absence
OF sanitary precautions quickly become
epidemic.
OTHER PRACTICAL BENFFiTS-
As home sanitarisns they are especially
I,t tAu1az arod tn fhN
communities IN which they live. They
make useful aids IN baby saving and other
campaigns. They are IN position 10
render srecial service to stricken neigh
hors. Every ono Of them. even II she never
has TO deal with a case Of sickness has be
come a better housekceper, because of the
knowledge she has acquired.
The war has begun to make clear to
almost every household the especial Inn
portance of health protective knowledge
and some training in caring for the sick.
We must preserve the strength OF our
munltion makers the men and women
concerned with Our means of transporta-
ton and communication, and all those
thousands of people in the Industries
supplying necessities for the troops and
those at home Hospitals, dispcnsaries
and public health organizations realize
the unusual Importance Of maintaining
civilian health, and are mobllzing their
resources for the protection and relief
OF the creates. possible number.
But care OF the sick IS frequently a
home matter. Trained nurses are bcoom-
ing more and morC difficult 10 secure for
individual cases. and hospitals must
largely minister 10 those seriously Ill or in
need Of surgical or special attention The
time of physicians must be economized.
The answer clearly IS that not $4,000 but
thai millions OF women should prepare
themselves in Red Cross courses to help
intelllgcntly with their own sick, or 70 aid
the community IN It's health activities.

A. X. {. NURSE
IN EVERY HOSPITAL

An American Red Cross nurse and a
French and English-speaking Red Cross
and have been assigned to every French
hospital caring for our men. Before this
ruling some of our wounded arrived at
hospitals where no one could speak Eng
lish and they believed themselves in the
hands of the enemy They had difficulty in
making their needs clear and In descrlb-
ing symptoms; and where immediate
operations were necessary, IT was often
impossible to prepare them.
Under the new plan the American
nurse will receive every American wound
ed and, through her aid, will explain his
needs TO the French attendants. The aid
will attend to correspondence and, with
the nurse, will visit him and cheer him up
so that he will not miss the comforts of an
American hospital.

SERVICE FLAGS.

The Red Cross does not have a service
flag Some flags have recently been dis
played bearing small red crosses instead
of stars These flags are not supported
by national sanction and their display is
unauthorized
This ruling does not conflict with in
formation previously furnished to the
effect that nurses training schools may use
the standard Red Cross flag, adding blue
stars for the nurses actually In service. If
the number of nurses actually In service is
greater than can be indicated by blue
stars, white figures may be put in the CEN
ter Of the Red Cross.
These flags will be issued 10 training
schools through Division Headquarters
on recommendation of the director of the

CULVERT GUARDS ARE URGED
Particularly Serviceable at Night in Preventing Acc.dents-Railings
 Painted White.

txy highways are frequently the cause of serious automobile accidents; par ticularly at night, special pains is now being taken in maly parts of the coun- try to place railings at the ends of such structures, together with suitable guards either side of the approaches. An excellent example of such an inn provement is found in the substantial concrete guards on highway in Michi- gan. The short lengths of fence are of wood and are painted white to match the concrete and to add to their con spicuousness, particularly at night.
