Do you know that you can prepare
yourself to meet these emergencies
by taking the Red Cross Course of
Hygiene
The Red Cross Chapter of this
county will give course in nursing
such as is needful for the home
which will require fifteen lessons con-
sisting of two hours each day. The
course will include all that is neces-
sary for the student to know regard
ing the why, what and when to do
anything to any contagion or infec-
ton.
The Red Cross is making an eff
fort to avoid such a loss of life as
occurred last year by the Epidemic
Infuenza-40O,O0O lives-and the
best way to do this is to teach the
women in the homes of the towns and
particularly those in the country
where the doctor and trained nurses
are not always available, how to care
for the sick.
In order to arrange classes for
this work the local Red Cross Chap
ter will ask some member of every
household in the towns and in the
country to enroll at the nearest point
to her designated. At the follow
ing places applicants to receive the
course may find enrolment blanks:
At Hayne at the postoffice; Kismet
at the State Bank; At Arkalon at the
postoffice; at Liberal, Smiths drug
store, County Superintendent Of
flee at the court house and at the
Office of Miss Saunders at the Light
Office,
The fee for the course is fifty
cents and the cost of the text book
is forty-fve cents. The applicants
should pay for the course on making
application.
1t is your duty to see that there
are several classes created to receive
this important work.
The expenses are paid by the Red
Cross. You pay only the fee of so
cents and for the text book.
