How Many Women In Shenan-
doah County Have Had Ex-
perienCe In Nursing.

The Red Cross IS making survey
of the nursing resources of the United
States. The Kew. J. A. McMurray,
of Woodstock, has been asked to
conduct the survey in Shenandoah
county. He has written to all the
doctors and druggists in the county
so far as known to him, asking for
information, but he will need the as
sistance of all the Red Cross Branches
and ell individuals who are interest,"
cd in the welfare of our country and
Jour boys.
This 10 not to be In any way
drafting of nurses, but q call for
volunteers. There are few, Ii any,
graduate nurses regularly at work in
the county, but there will be oppor-
tunity for women, young or old, who
have had any practical experience
either with or without hospital train
Ing. These opportunities will not be
in army work, but In the care
of the civilian population.
1t il desired to get the name OF
every woman in the county who has
|had such experience, even If she is so
situated that she cannot accept work
outside her own neighborhood.
IN order that no person In the Army
or In civilian life need suffer in health
and efficiency during the war because
of lack of nursing resources, thu
lAmerican Red Cross has accepted thu
task assigned it by the Government
of recording every woman in thu
!, United States who has ever had an.
lnursing experience or training. Thi
survey should not be confused witt
the enrolment campaign Of the Re-
Cross. The basic idea Of the surve
Is to find and record every woman
who has ever had any training i
carryin for the sick or wounded i
order that intelligent appeals may b
made to all parts OF the country 10
help.
Il Citizens are asked to report th
names of all persons known to ther
la. nurses, trained or semi trained
inclnding those who have taken th
Red Cross courses.
Nurses can lend great assistanc
by Immediately reporting their ow
names.
Names NAV be given to any Drue

Spanish Influenza
Richmond, Va, Oct. II, 1918

Richmond. Va, Oct. IL, 1918.
70 the Mayor:
Dear Slr:-Many parts Of Virginia
are seriously invaded by influenza.
II it has not invaded your town, you
may be sure it will and that from 30
per cent to 80 per cent of the popula-
tion will be attacked, from 2 per cent
to per cent of those taken sick will
die, and that the epidemic will last
from three to six weeks, depending
upon the size of the place.
On account of the close contact be-
tween doctors, nurses and patients,
the large proportion of the doctors
are taken sick. The number OF deaths
can be reduced by the municipalities
organizing CIVILIAN relief, either to
visit the sick In their homes or con.
vert a school into hospital where
the sick can be conveyed and where
more patients can be cared for by the
few doctors and nurses in their
rounds.
On account of the short period OF
incubation and the high degree OF
consciousness, sometimes whole
families are taken sick. 1t is serious
for patients to wait on other patients.
They reduce their chance for getting
we'll. All people attending patients
should wear gauze masks over nose
and mouth. Prompt action is neces-
sary Respectfully,
ENNION q. WILLIAMS,
State Health Commissioner.

and have contributed supplies as vel
as their work.

GOD KNOWS
"God knows why
Alas. not we-that out of all this
surging tide
He stepped aside
Into quiet so profound before his time.
Here he lies
We loved him, and we leave him here
Some bright sphere
Has made room, we know, to take
our wanderer In.
He shall win
Otherwhere what God has meant for
him-and SO
While sunshine and rain and snow
Fall about his early grave, we'll say:
Far away
Safe and strong his life goes on at
Gods behest
And God knows best.

THE INFLUENZA.

While the influenza has affected
many homes in Woodstock, the gen.
eral condition, up to this time, II
much better than In many sections Of
the country. There have been from
forty to fifty cases, in 3 number 81
which the parties have recov cred or
are convalescent. Three cases of
pneumonia, Mr.. Mathews, Mrs. Me-
Donald and Mrs. W. B. Allen have
been reported. There has been but
one death, that of Mr.. Mathews, at
the Academy. The Idisease seems to
be waning, but 1t is possible that 1t
has not reached the worst, although
the hope is INDUCED that such is the
case
The town authorities have taken
every precaution to prevent the spread
of the disease. The churches. schools,
moving pictures, &c. SC, have been
closed and precautions to prevent
crowding at the Post Office have been
taken. This, we believe, is correct
stateuent of condition in the town.
The influenza seems to be prevail
log ia every section of this county.
In some sections it Is much more Sc
we're than in others. A number of
deaths has occurred. In many fami-
lies there ere from four to six cases
and In one family in Mount Jackson,
1t is reported, that there are ten cases.
In some families every member has
the disease. Our physicians, SIS far
as possible, ars going night and day
aud have been remarkably success
ful in treating the disease.
In Strasburg and Toms Brook the
di sease has prevailed to consider
. ble extent. One new case at Toms
Brook was reported on Thursday
At Woodstock no new cases
have been reported within the last
week and nearly all who have had the
disease are either we'll or GONZALES
