SAFEGUARDS FOR
PUBLIC HEALTH
TO BE DISCUSSED

There is a called meeting of all of
the members OF the Pensacola Cham
Der OF Commerce at o'clock this af-
ternoon, at which time matters OF i'm
-portance will be brought to the atten-
ton of these men of affairs in regard
to certain sanitary precautions which
are said to be necessary In this city
and at which DR. Tatum, agent for
the state board OF health, will be pres
ent and address the gathering.
It relates to sanitary drinking cups
at soda water fountains. and In many
cities and states OF the union laws
have been enacted requiring such cups
at these places. 1t being asserted that
there is danger because OF glasses
that have been used have not been
properly washed or sterilized.
Each member OF the Chamber of
Commerce is urged to attend this
meeting.

WORKING FORCE IN
CITY POSTOFf|CE
IS TOO SMALL

The working force of the Pensacola
post office is too small. So It is with
the employees of post offices in other
cities. Mail increases daily because of
the war but the staff remains the
same.
In addition TO this the War Savings
Stamp campaign takes the men and
women from their regular duties, the
postmaster general having called upon
all of his assistants in the United
States to help in every way they can
in the drive.
There Is not a grumble heard among
these people and they work overtime
cheerfuliy, some remaining at their
posts of duty until late in the evening.
Malls are delayed along the route
necessarily not distributed at the ac-
customed time and the attention OF
patrons is called to the fact that IL
letters and papers are slow in getting
into their boxes and at the general
delivery window, it Is because trains
are late and the office help has not
been increased.

NURSES IN WAR TIMES.

While the appeal is going out to
American women to enlist in the Red
Cross for overseas service. this story.
told by one of the nurses who rallied
to the flag in the Spanish American
war, carries timely interest:
Things were quite different in those
days" said this young woman, In tell
ing about it. The status of the trained
nurse as a professional woman was
not clearly defined. so that our trip
over on board the transport Thomas.
which is now, by the way, carrying
our troops across the Pacific, was rath-
er a difficult one"
The patriotic young women who vol
unteered at that time made more OF a
personal sacrifice than those who ars
so splendidly giving their services at
this time, although the war itself
brought fewer horrors and hardships.
ON board the transport" she said,
I'VE were assigned to quarters three
decks below the promenade deck. AS
everyone knows, these quarters are
about the most uncomfortable tmag-
Unable; it Is where the enlisted men
are quartered as a rule. But it is just
an instance of the difference between
the status of nurses now and then.
1.-The rest OF the trip was delightful
We went by way of Gibraltar and the
Suez canal At Gibraltar we were
entertained by the English governor
and his wife and at Malta by the com
mander of an English battleship and
his wife. Only the commanding Of
ficer of our men and his staff and the
nurses were invited to attend
AS for the hardships in Manila, this
Red Cross nurse maintains that there
were none.
There were very comfortable quar-
ters" she said, land we were but If
teen minutes away from the hospitals.
The home in which we lived had been
a Chinese gambling den and was 8
large, cool building, quite one of the
handsomest in Manila.
lone of the odd conditions OF the
medical department of the army at
that time was the absence of trained
nurses.
"One Of the many reasons many of
the older nurses have not enrolled IN
the Red Cross for war service is be-
cause they do not understand that
the status Of nurses In this war is diff
ferent from the previous standard"
she said.
They have not quite awakened to
the fact that nowadays the trained
nurse is one of the most important
factors In winning the war and in the
reconstruction of the health and
morale of the nation In the period i'm
mediately following the declaration of
peace, and that this has changed the
underlined attitude OF the officers to-
ward the nurses which existed twenty
years ago"
