CAMPAIGN FOR
\ URSES IS ON
,URGEON GENERAL OF THE
NAVY MAKES PLEA FOR
CAPABLE WOMEN.

Washington, June 3.-Dr. w. {.
Braizted, surgeon general OF the
lavy. has sent the following COM
nunication TO the American Red
Cross at the beginning OF its drive
20 enroll nurses for military and
public service: Never before in
history has there been such a great
opportunity for the nursing profes-
sion to come forward and render
the greatest possible service TO
mankind in caring for the sick and
wounded. A large number OF nurses
will be required, not only immedi-
ately but for some time after the
war has ended to nurse back to
health and usefulness the MANNED
and injured who have suffered be
cause OF the enormous struggle now
being waged in Europe. The nurs-
ing profession of the country is
called upon the same way as the
medical profession to render the
utmost service OF which it is cap
ible and a trained personnel is nee
essary for success.
1T is not only the duty but is
mandatory that every trained nurse
who is capable OF serving should
:ome forward at this time and take
ap that part OF the burden which is
ner's. Several thousand nurses are
needed to wait upon the personnel
OF the navy at very large naval hos
pitals in this country as well as at
several naval base hospitals in Eu
ropean waters. Unless wounded
and sick naval men receive ade-
guate medical and nursing atten-
ton control OF the seas must sui
fer.
"Therefore we urge all women
nurses of training and experience
who are physically and profession
ally capable OF rendering service to
come forward and enroll for duty.
Officers of the navy are authorized
by law to accept the civil assist
ance OF the American Red Cross
which has so capably fulfilled its
humanitarian purpose and the pre-
liminary enrolment OF nurses has
been turned over to that great or
ganization."
During the ten days drive which
begins today, every effort will be
made to induce every graduate
nurse who is eligible for war serv
ice to enroll. Married nurses will
be urged to return to practice or
at least to give few hours day
to hospital or visiting service or
to work in dispensaries, diet kitch-
ems or public health activities.
Graduates of high schools and
colleges will be encouraged to be
come students in military or civil
ian hospitals in order to free as
many nurses as possible for army
or navy service. The general pub
lie is also urged to start Save
Nurse" campaign, which will dis
courage the employment of indi-
vidual nurses except in very serious
cases. Sick and injured in the cities
will be requested to rely more on
hospitals and on visiting nurses so
that one nurse may divide her time
among several who need PROBES
sional care.

ON YOUR HONOR


The Allies need sugar.
The time has come for US to face
h fact that we do not need sugar.
Food experts tell us that the body
does not require oven Such Eweets as
honey and syrups.
But If we feel that we must have
something sweet once In a while we
have at our command an abundance
OF molasses, syrups, sorghum honey
and maple sugar, as well as dried and
fresh fruits.
The Allies are not asking for very
much. sugar. 1taly's ration is one
pound per person per month;
Frances one and one-half pounds;
England's two pounds. Even these
quantities are not always obtainable.
What the United States Food Ad-
ministration is nov asking of the peo-
pie over here is to put themselves
upon q ration of two pounds per per-
son per month. This does not in n
way limit the amounts of syrups or
honey that one may have. So after
all it's not very hard, Is It?
Certainly 1t is fair. Why should
we who have gone into the struggle
literally flor good enjoy anything
moro than those who have been
holding" for three long years7
There is one thing which the Amer
lean people must prove to be unnec-
essary, and hat is the ration card
system. This nation likes to do
things because 1t chooses to-; not be-
cause 1t is policed into doing them.
This ration" has come in the form
of a request. So it's a matter be-
tween you and your conscience. You
are on your honor. Don't buy more
than your share. Buy less IL you are
clever enough to manage with less.

Gently asked permission to charge.
The rates re TO be charged on the
fast electric line which the Public
Service operates over its private right
of way in the main n partly over
leased street railway lines. The COM
pany asked permission to put into
effect new rates of two and one-half
cents a mile, ten cents minimum fare,
excepting from Chrome Junction to
Chrome, where the fare is to be five
cents each way, with no reduction on
round trip tickets. and this rate to ap-
ply to the districts in which h COM
pany operates on its private right OF
way.
The board says there was no obJec-
ton made to the proposed increased
rates except from South Brunswick
township, which entered a protest.
Manufacturers Of the Borough OF
Roosevelt were represented at the
hearings and requested increased car
service which was promised by the
company. which promise 1t has al
ready fulfilled.
The value of the company's prop
cry SET up III MAlo aPPlAGalAOA was w.
termined by M. =. Cooley, Dean Of En-
cheering Department of the Uni
versity OF Michigan, and his assistant
Professor Anderson. The commission
says it arrived at an estimated cost
new of the property, as of December
81. 1918, of $2,40s, sS5. as compared
with Dean Cooley's estimate OF s2,-
716.9S4.
Additions TO the property for De-
cember 81, 1915 to December 81, 1917,
amounted to s105.67s, making the
total cost new as Of December 81.
1917, $2,514.563. The foregoing
figures represent only the valuation of
the physical property. There are Sc
curities amounting TO s2,sz6.650.
The company estimated that 1t
would derive a net increase in revenue
from the new rates OF t4e,se5.23,
which the utility board does not think
will be excessive. The company Is
ordered TO file with the board for each
quarter a complete comparative state
ment for 1917 and 1918 of It's opera
