1T DON'T PAY TO ADVERTISE?

A two line "Lost" ad in an in
conspicuous position brought in a
clock that was only supposed to be
lost. If it had really been 'lost"
the ad would probably have brought
in two clocks, judging by the effec-
tiveness of the advertisement. The
moral to this story is: Uunless you
are sure you want results do not
advertise.

FOR ALL NURSES
Miss Eldridge' of American

New Ideals of Work
to Kenosha.

Who Enter the Nursing Pro-

INsPECTs TRAINING SCHOOL

Miss Eldridge of Rochester, N. Y, re-
presenting the American Nurses Asso-
citation and National League Of Nurs-
ing, visited IN Kenosha yesterday. She
was to have met the Board Of Directors
OF the Kenosha Hospital for discus
sion of Training Schools, but on ac-
count of the absence from town of
some Of the Directors and the pressure
at the Hospital for the sick people and
the opening of the Isolation Hospital,
1t was necessary to confne her instruc-
lions to the Superintendent and Secre-
tary. She had much to say regarding
the High Standard to be set, in the way
Of education and general culture for
pupil nurses. ''The profession of nurs-
ing is gaining in popularity for young
women. In most states the educational
standard is four years in High School.
The standard of the nurses home has
changed, it is now a real home. with
music and magazines for the hours
of rest and recreation,' said Miss
Eldridge.
Graduating from such hospitals with
such standards has real meaning and
the nurses graduating from the Keno
sha Hospital, may hold their diplomas
as sacred parchments and take their
places In the profession proudly
Miss Eldridge expressed pleasure at
the reports given her and said she same
!" for constructive criticism - many of
her suggestion will be carried out as
time allows.
The time is long past when nurse
aims only to be proficient with her
hands at the bedside, but now she must
have trained mind, refinement and
general culture ready to meet the de-
mands of physicians and surgeons for
kindness IN carrying out their orders.

the booster trip committee which met
in the Chamber of Commerce rooms
on Monday night. Sixty one cars win

when it was not absolutely certain that
the passenger would go.
However,, those who intend to go on
she trip must secure their tickets not
later than tonight so that they can be
assigned to their particular cars.

all the more reason that he should be
worthy of them, and If he has been
unfortunate and had very wild and Dc.

to be noble when everything around
you gives you an excuse to be the
opposite way"

the toy SPANIEL 81 had never thought
about it In such way before"
The St Bernard grinned and his
eyes looked more friendly than even

Of a sermon" he said, ''but I thought
you had such wrong ideas I'd like to
tell you the really and truly right ones,
Besides, your ideas win never give
you any happiness. But, by the way,
what was I supposed to be angry
about"
Because, In this dog show" said the
top spaniel, "for years and years
you've won the highest medal, and this
year another st. Bernard came along
and won it You should have been
mad"
''Oh, no." said the st. Bernard; @he
is q far more handsome fellow, and
besides, he is young and his coat is
very rich. I have won many prizes
but you know the old saying, Ever3

II guess you've got as big a nature
