Mrs. David E Mulvane, chairman
of the nursing activities of the Red
Cross in Shawnee county, has an
nounced that those who wish to re-
ceive instruction in Home Hygiene and
Cross classes in those subjects, should
, enroll Immediately at the Red Cross
Headquarters, room 1926, New Eng
land building, between the hours of
8 a. m. and 4 p. m. Last year the
nursing department of the America n
Red Cross rendered valuable assist
ance during the war by preparing
nurses aids for war service in order
that there might be a sufficient num-
Der of workers ready. In SO short a
time, it was necessary many times to
carry this instruction on in, intensive
and abridged form. The Red Cross
now feels the necessity for fitting this
activity into it's peace program, and
though the regulations and the
methods of conducting the classes are
the same, more time can be given to
the work. The Red Cross urges all
| classes of women, especially those who
have not had the work before, to avail
themselves of this opportunity for in
struction.
This instruction in home hygiene
and care of the stick will not be given
now, in preparation for war emergen-
cies, but for disaster relief, and more
especially with the aim of making
every home in the country a center of
health.
