THE INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC
Demo hstrated At Terrific Loss Of Life
: the Great Need For Public
Health Nursing.

, Miss Stella Fuller, an official rep
,resentative OF the Red Cross Depart
ment of Nursing, will lecture on the
Red Cross peace program Of public
health nursing and health education
Miss Fuller an American Red Cross
Nurse, whose home is in Green Bay
Wis, went overseas in 1918; serving
with the American Red Cross Hospt
tai No. 5, is well fitted to lecture on
home nursing and health protection
AS the representative of the Depart
ment of Nursing at Washington ID. C4
she brings a message to local Red
Gross Chapters concerning the nation
wide campaign which the Red Cross
is planning for the purpose OF furth
ering universal health education and
protection.
The epidemic of influenza, which
has had a casualty list of over 100000
in the United States alone. and which
is not yet checked in many communt
ties. has demonstrated at terrific LOST
of life the great need for public health
nursing. In many communities tnt
epidemic spread broadcast without
any organized effort being made tt
check it. Reports have come to Ma
tional Headquarters which show thai
many persons actually died without
attention, because their neighbour
were too afraid of the disease to nurse
them, and there were no graduate
nurses in the community
A Second great argument for tht
extension OF Public Health nursing
activities was brought out by the
great number of reflections in thl
army draft. Six hundred THOUSAND
young men were unable to serve then
country in its hour of need because
OF minor physical disqualification
which might have been remedied had
compulsory examination by medical
authorities and by the attention OF
school nurse been a recognized policy
OF the nation some years ago.
In order that Public Health nursing
may be introduced in all parts OF the
country a Committee on Nursing Ac
tivities in Red Cross Chapters is un
der organization and Miss Fuller VIII
speak on various ways in which these
nursing activities may be directed to
serve the needs of the community
Public Health nursing includes many
phases such as bedside nursing In
which the nurse visits her patients
and gives them hourly nursing care
as needed: care of babies and small
children: work in factories and indus
trial centers; rural and country nurs-
ing: instruction in Red Cross course;
Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick
and Home Dietetics, and various other
formR OF community service.

sOLILOQUIES OF TELL FARM

(From College Spectator.)

Mr. "w. H. H." who published
Annie's Echoes of l. l. & c." has
Just written this amusing little poem
celebrating the conclusion of the
job;
oh. gee, I'm the happiest fellow,
| bet you ever will chance to meet,
I'm getting time to sleep at night,
And plenty of time to eat.
Don't go to work like race horse,
But now plenty of time / get;
what gives me so much joy?" you
ask,
Why, Annie's job is set!
Wrestling with French such as
incest Pas"
Is hard work now, l repeat,
And deliver me from expressions like
this
81 love you and am at the end of
the sheet"
No more I'll labor with Shakespeare
at phone,
Nor weep DER such names as
"Sujette,"
Say, what's the reason for so much
joy?
Why, Annies job is set!
Tho peoples may blow in Flanders
fields,
Also stalk death and destruction,
forsooth,
prefer to blow peoples the remand
err of my life,
Than correct Dear Teachers"
And when my old Merg. was at last
shut of,
| did it with no sign of regret;
But gave whoop that nearly
''pied" the shop.
Because Annie's job was set!
Now, soon I'll go to dear old N. o.
That queen city of the South
Just to take on only few more
Before comes that awful drouth.
I'll drink luck to my shop, luck to
my town,
And luck to your book, you bet;
But the biggest toast I'll drink to
myself
Because Annie's job is set!
And so I've come to the end of my
rhyme,
If calling it rhyme be true;
Perhaps if should practice few
years,
could be great poet like you.
like your Echoes" | think them
fine,
More praise, but less Joy you'll
get
Than l did when | walked to the

WAR TIME PROHIBITIoN.

president Wilson's Recommended
ton that wartime legislation max
ing the country dry on July 1st in
so far as it applies TO the sale of
light wines and beers should be re-
pealed, is, to say the least, a little
surprising. If the sale of these bev-
erages is desirable it ought to be
permitted for all time to come; II
not. the sooner prohibited the bet
ter. 1t looks like temporizing with
the subject to continue IL for a few
more months, when such conces-
sion now will be accepted as the adj

these drinks for all time to come.
II there was ever time when
the calm judgment OF the people
should not be inflamed with drink 1t
is the present period. The sober
and best thought of all Americans
is needed in the solution of all our
problems. With partisanship run
ming rampant at the capital; with
the government divided in its polit-
ical functioning; with concessions
made everywhere to the spoils of Of
fee, no agency should be Embossed
which will warp mems judgment or
destroy their conscience. The best

HALF MILLION INCREASE.

The four bank statements pub
lished the past week show combined
deposits of $2,927.624. This is a
gratifying showing. revealing as it
does the prosperity of this section.
but in comparison it is even more
so. considered with the total deposits
for a like period last year, the COM
parison showing over half million
dollar increase. The full measure OF
this is appreciated when it is under
stood that our industries and BUSH

tial basis than ever before. Or in
other words all of last years debts
have been paid, the people have
invested nearly a million dollars in
government war securities, we are
well into the new crop and we have
nearly three millions cash surplus.

There is nothing surprising in the
statement issued by the German gov
eminent that her delegates cannot
sign the peace treaty. 1t was to
be expected but she might as well
take her medicine, the medicine pre-
scribed by the civilized governments
OF the world. Hers was an aggra-
waited case and it Is golng TO require
strenuous remedy. The terms may
mean economic destruction. political
dishonor and moral degradation, but
that is what she deserves. The per-
sonnet OF the present government
may refuse to sign, but the German
people will have officials who will.

The house OF representatives pass

the vote is close, and after passage
