Is HOME NURSING A LOST ART?

The surgeon general of federal health serv-
ice says that more home nursing Of the right
kind is needed as much as any other factor in
breaking up the ordinary and small-sized bod
lily complaints that are affecting the people
throughout this country. In taking this stand
the surgeon general is not carrying Goals to
Newcastle. Jimmie sneezes, and the entire
household is in state Of panic for fear that
the kid has the awful influenza. So, call in the
family medical man, who, it is safe to say, pro-
nounces Jimmie down with the s'flu'' and
orders him dosed with medicants. How diff
ferent the procedure recommended by the fed
eral official He urges people to inform them
selves of modern methods of assisting the sick
and in particular in caring for those who are
supposed to be victims of the "flu.' With
out realizing it, we have become too much de-
pendent on our medical men. A little more adj
|ministration of homely remedies and less ap
peal to outside aid would, perhaps be better.

Although England prohibited night work for
women seventy four years ago, In only ten OF
our states has this standard been accepted even
in the twentieth century.

over industry to the regulation of wages. Mini

Of state control over industry which has been

ever, Bismarck introduced social insurance into
Germany in the early eighties in the hope Of
sitting German social democracy-in his own
words, "to bride the working classes Social
insurance came more slowly in England, but
along more generous and democratic lines. In
England the entire cost Of old-age pensions is
borne by the state; in Germany, on the other
hand, the cost of these pensions is largely paid
by the working-me themselves.
Further evidence of Engand's rapid pro

Meet

E. c. Lynn of Donnellson, is in Des
Moines at state conference of the
organization having in charge the
sale of war savings stamps.
Lee county is far behind it's quota
in the purchase of these savings
stamps, and special drive is to be
made the last week in November in
this county, to try to bring it up to
par. The whole state is behind it's
allotment by the same token, and the
state organization is very active in
the effort to bring it up to it's quota
The last week in November, a
special canvass will be made in Keo-
kuk and all over Lee county to sell
a large amount Of the stamps. The
general plan in the state is to open
the polling places on Thanksgiving
day for the people to go there to buy
stamps, but this will not be done in
Keokuk.

SOCIAL PROGRESS IN ENGLAND.

b That England is proceeding much more rap
idlv to embody democratic ideals INTO social
1egislation than many of our American states
IS one of the conclusions drawn by DR.. Edith
Abbott in her paper on Democracy and Social
Progress a recent issue of the University OF
Chicago war papers. English legislation has
set standards in the democratic control OF IN
slustrv far in advance of our own and has quiet
" provided much more adequate scheme OF
social insurance than Germany. AS mattel
Of fact, social legislation in England is an evI
dence of the growth and expansion OF democ-
racv. Much of this legislation is industrial,
protecting the workers and tending to raise the
standard of life even for the poorest wage
earners.
The industrial standards fixed seventy five
years ago in England's pioneer factory acts
are superior, the author says to our twentieth
century standards in the United States. To IL
Iustrate some of the industrial conditions In
this country the author quotes from "The Flu
tire in America" by Fl. G. Wells: ''The rich
est greatest country the world has ever seen
has over 100000 children under fifteen years
of age toiling in fields, factories, mines and
workshops. In the worst days of cotton
milling in England the conditions were hardly
worse than those now existing in the SOUTH

democratic lines.

Lord Bryce who has written so discerningly
of our political institutions, declares in one Of
his books that public opinion in this country is
really 'more force than in the politics of
any other nation. Often this does not seem to
be true. We go on through long cycles Of
apathy when considerable writing and even
more talking fails to elicit much interest SO far
as manifestations of it are to be taken as proof
of its existence. Men and newspapers con-
tinually lampooning the public for unintelli-
gent and careless mindedness but the public
pays little attention 1t is like lampooning

abiding knowledge of power, of rights and of
threatened invasion of either Stimulate this
to activity and things happen. We have much
to do to make this nation as wise, as alert and
as broad-visioned as it ought to be. But we
have no need to worry about its desuetude. Ii
is no moribund force.

a pamphlet by Archibold J. Wolfe, entitled
Commercial Organizations in Germany in
which the following is found: "The impetus

lands was given at the Philadelphia exposition

CITY MAY PURCHASE NEW FIRE
TRUCK.

The city of Paris may soon be for
tunate in the possession of an up to-
date combination fire-hghting truck,
like the one that was exhibited here
some time ago. The city now has in
its treasury a sum sufficient for the
purchase of such a machine, accord
ing to a statement made yesterday by
an official close to the administration,
and 1T is highly probable that the
purchase may be made soon.
According to the information given
out yesterday by this official the city
is contemplating the purchase Of an
Aherns combination pumping engine,
hose and chemical engine, of the
same type as the one the Government
sent to Camp Knox some time ago.
and which was given practical
demonstration in this city, making q
remarkable showing. This machine
has capacity Of seventy-fve gallons
of water minute on two lines Of
hose, with a one-inch nozzle.
The Engine and Hose Committee
of the City Council will confer with
representative of the manufacture
ers of this machine, who will take
them to the factory in about two
weeks and give them a practical
demonstration of the workings Of the
machine. When the sale is made it
will provide Paris with one of the
most complete fire-fghting machines
in the State.

VOLUME xXxVlI
RED CROSS CAMPAIGN.

The membership drive for the Red
Cross Roll Call, this year designated
as the Christmas Roll Call, is making
fast progress and in Paris, Mrs
Frank p. Lowry, Chairman, and the
members Of the various campaign
committees, are jubilant over the re-
suits shown by the canvass thus far
made.
No tabulated results have been
available, but from all quarters
comes a seeming unity of desire to
enroll in the organization of charity
and mercy, and it is deemed certain
that by next Monday, when the Roll
Call is completed, the goal will be
achieved here, and every adult and
every child in the city and county
will be enrolled.
The workers report to the head
quarters at the corner of Main and
Broadway, in the Bourbon-Agricul-
tural Bank building. They say that
the reception given them is some
thing wonderful, there being few re-
fusals to join, and many persons are
not contenting themselves with the
donation of the single dollar required
of membership. There is much com
petition among the business houses
to enroll their employees on a 100
per cent basis.
On Wednesday three booths for the
accommodation of those who wish to
register in the Red Cross Roll Call
were established. One is in the
Tenth street passenger station of the
Louisville & Nashville, one in the
Paris postoff1ce corridor, and the
third in the business section of the
city at a point convenient for all
These can be used by persons when
the committees have not visited al
their homes or in their bushes:
houses. Those in charge of the work
ask that all such persons will visit
one or the other of these booths AND

Posters, buttons and window
cards have been furnished to the
workers and all who enroll are asked
to use the same. White stars will bt
