will notice that although they are

lished on Wednesday and Saturday in
The Tribune, it is daily being demon
strated that decided saving can be
effected by knowing beforehand just
what they should pay for supplies at
the different classes OF shops. Also the
quoted prices will be found of inesti-
mable help in planning the daily menus
with economy and the good Judgment
that obtains full value for the money

most bad as too little. This is a case where
it saves money to find the happy medium.
Two kinds of material used in the con-
struction of the body casing The lower
priced cleaners are usually nickel-p plated steel,
while the others aluminium. Of course
aluminium is the best, since it is non-rusting,
but a good nickel plating steel is durable
The housekeeper of to-day demands that her
vacuum cleaner be equipped with a brush in
the nozzle, so that threads, lint, etc, can be
quickly picked up. When this brush is cleo
trically or traction operated the work is done
more satisfactorily, and the bristes do not be-

The dust bag should be of the kind that can

to choose one so designed that the dirt does not

GREAT NEED FUR WAR NURSES
 PRESENTS SERIOUS SITUATION

they have been taken. But as these demands grow daily, a serious prob lem arises in home nursing for civilian needs It has been estimated by the army nurses corps that more than 30,- 900 nurses will be needed on the basis of present estimates for an army of 1000 ,000 men
 This situation is made doubly seri- ous because the conditions of war which take wage-earners from the homes and nurses from the civilian hospitals produce an increased amount of sickness and distress among the civilian population, with decreased fa- cilities for guarding it's health.
 Since the entrance of the United States into the war the number of pupil nurses entering nurses training schools has increased 20 per cent over thea year before. Generally, too, the superintendents of these training schools have, by every means at their command, enlarged their facilities for training and housing a greatly in creased number of pupil nurses. When this last has been impossible their committees, in several instances, have put suitable accommodations at their disposal; and a number of training schools have so arranged their hours that pupil nurses may take their courses and still live at home.
 In order to meet the increasing de mands of the army and navy nurse corps, the Red Cross has modified somewhat its former requirements for enrolment The age limit has been 1 lowered to 21 years, and in special cases nurses over 40 may be accepted
 Smaller schools for nurses have been | placed on the accredited list, and ap plicants are judged on their merits. l All Red Cross nurses assigned tc duty in military hospitals automatic ally become members of the army ol navy nurse corps, and after their as
 signment to duty are no longer under
 the supervision or direction of the Rec Cross. These nurses, when on active I duty, are entitled to the same govern
 ment war risk insurance as army ant navy officers and enlisted men.
 Within the last few weeks the Rec
 Cross nursing service has recruited
 and equipped a group of 100 nurses fo1
 the army nurse corps for service witl
 the British expeditionary forces a
 the request of the British govern I ment, and has mobilized severa
 highly specialized groups of nurses fo
 orthopedic, contagious, psychiatric ant facial surgery hospitals, as well a mobile operating units and other i'm !! portant groups.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-The de- aartment of nursing of the American Red Cross, the mObilizing agency in military service, is in urgent need of recruits. The present average of en- r0llment is 1000 nurses a month. But 4his enrolment, heavy as it is, will not be sufficient to keep pace with the military needs of the government
 It has been estimated by the sur econ generals office that if the war continues, within a short time the Red Cross Twill need between thirty and forty thousand nurses for the needs of our army alone. The allies are also depending upon us to supplement their own nursing service,
 There are between 80,000 and 90,0O0 registered nurses in the United States at the present time Approximately 76,5O0 of this number are enrolled Red Cross nurses, the majority of whom are in active service, ready for mobil- jZation, or prepared for specified serv- ice. It is the Red Cross enrolment which forms the reserve of the United States army nurse corps and the Unit ed States navy nurse corps.
 According to Miss Jane Delano, chairman of the national committee on Red Cross nursing service, the fact that the recruiting of nurses Is not Keeping pace with military needs does not indicate that the women of this country are "slackers" in the nursing service, but merely shows that the sudden and extraordinarily heavy de mand for nurses has not been thor Oughly realized by the women avail able for nursing service.
 sAlready the nursing service of the Red Cross has equipped and sent abroad 1,790 nurses for service with the army and navy nurses corps; has provided about 2,500 nurses for home service with the army and navy nurses corps in camp and cantonment hospi tals, and has more than 2,OO0 nurses organized into units and practically ready for mobilization.
 In addition to the nurses serving with the army and navy nurses corps ffty-six Red Cross public health nurses are on duty in the sanitary zones sur rounding the cantOnments; eighty nine are serving directly under the American Red Cross in France twelve in Rumania, three in Greece and one in Serbia.
 By careful adjustment the nursing service has so far met the demands of the government in furnishing units of nurses for military, naval and pub Tie health service, without seriously disorganizing the ranks from Whicl

CHAPTER I

A history of the life of John l.. Sul livan must necessarily be a story of great endeavOr, of singularly applied powers of concentration and achieve ment, and of romance and pathos and tragedy and comedy. For there never was another like the famous old gladi. atOr who died a few days ago in Mas. sachusetts. The rOllicking days of the old pirates, the adventurous songs of Ihe cavemen, the thrilling romance of early days in American history, and the absorbing human interest of a Mark Twain-all are combined in the ilmstriOus life of the only man the prize ring ever produced who could lay claim to such popularity as John l. Sullivan.
 A battler of men he was, and bat tier of good and bad liquor He dOwned men in his best days and in his turn was dOwned by one of them. But his triumph over John Barleycorn N~'''' ---S ASitohDOA' I GU A. hangover were complete and lasting. For four teen years John L. had not allowed himself taste of the grape that Omar &hayyam and some others made fam Ous He died wholly clean and free from the effects of his worst enemy.
 There is not a question in the minds of the older followers of pugilism but that John L. would have retired an| pndefeated champion had he trained along the more faithful lines of some of the present-day glove wielders. Sul- 5iVan's strength was so crushing. his dashing energy so overpowering, that DO man could stand up against him for any length of time while he was in his prime. And when the time finally came for him to be counted out on the muddy, soggy turf at Richburg.

 The story of this wonderful old
 fighters life is an inspiration. It brings
 an echo of endeavor that should ring true to every youngster. To gaze over
 the history of Sullivan; to follow his
 struggles, first against poverty as a
 tinsmith, plumbers helper, cowboy,
 then to fortune, fame, the black bottle, and again to popularity and the retir- ing life of a gentleman farmer, Is, enough to make any man know how he can win if he applies himself
 Sullivan. a demon in the ring, was so only because he had one object in view-viCtory. He was the champion and was frankly aware of it. The fact meant one thing to him-that he must prove 1t when the opportunity offered itself, just as quickly as he could He knew nothing of present-day methods of ChampiOns-to stand in a ring and defend himself against a knockout as long as he could.
 It was his honest, fair-play tactics that endeared him to the hearts of American sports lovers. Wherever he went he was greeted with cheers. No sports champion before or since has gained the following that mourned the death of John L. Sullivan.
 John L. Sullivan is dead, but he leaves behind him che Marquis of rules to govern champion ship contests. He leaves the memory of a true fighting man, who hated to acknowledge his last defeat. He sleeps in the Massachusetts cemetery near where he was born, but his name will ever blaze on the pages of pugil- istic history
