APPEAL TO PHYSICIANS

On next Sunday, June 9Th, at 2:3O
P. NJ, Red Cross Rallies will be held
over Greene county in the interest OF
the campaign we are waging against
disease and for education of our PEG.
pie in First Aid and Home Nursing.
This should specially appeal to all
practicing physicians, for it is a well
known fact that more people die
from lack of proper nursing than
from most any other cause,
Our Chapter will greatly appre-
ciate it if physicians wherever they
may happen to be on next Sunday
afternoon will drop in at the most
convenient point, and encourage our
movement by short talk on the SUBJ
ject Of better home nursing.

Don't be deceived by private ow-
nership advocates who tell you that
Government ownership "has proven
failure" in railroads, telegraphs
and telephones.
The situation is this: Railroads
were taken over by the Government
and left n the hands of SALARIED
EMPLOYEES of private owners. The
same thing was done with tslsgraphs
and telephones.
These salaried employees were or
dered to make the operation of rail-
roads, telegraphs and telephones a
failure as bad, as expensive, as in
efficient, as it could possibly be.
This was done.
Don't you suppose the Postoffice
would be a failure if the managers
of it we've instructed to make it as
bad as possible, to delay delivery, to
increase charges?
Government ownership has NOT
BEEN TRIED, but a swindling of
the public, rebuilding of railroads
and telegraph lines with public tax

The Knocking Wife.
A wife's not worth the sock she's
knitting, she lacks all dignity and
charm, who goes around the toWn ad-
hitting her husband is false alarm.
But yesterday l heard lady COM
planning of her welded state; she sat.
beneath an elm tree shady, and rallied
and grumbled at her fate. She said,
"Alas, when ] was married | left my
mascot in the lurch; | picked lemon
when | carried my veil and bridal
wreath to the church. l cuss my
luck in Greek and Latin; I might have
had better man, who would have
bought me silk and satin, equipped
me with a fine sedan. But was
young and Fate was yellow, I'd only
lived through eighteen Junes;; and
so gathered in fellow who barely
earns enough for prunes." She
grumbles as she does her hemmin'
she grouches as she kicks the cat; it
was the husband that drew the lem
on-her line of talk is proof of that.
The wife who's worth the rags she's
wearing won't call her hub an also
ran; though he is punk, she still is
swearing she harvested the finest
man. He may be trifling as poet,
as worthless as can of soup; but she
won't let the neighbors know it,
won't let the news leak from her coop
She may pull out his whiskers hoary,
and press hot flatirons on his head
but ere she'd tell her friends the
story she'd see herself among the
dead.

TO THE PHYSICIANS

AS doubtless you know, the
Greene County Chapter of the Rec
Cross has. secured the services Of q
trained nurse and instructor to give
a series of lessons to classes through.
out the county. As physicians, we
must see what a great benefit this
work will be to the people and to us
who look after the sick. We realize
now often we are sadly handicapped
by lack Of intelligent nursing and
the preparation Of food for our pc.
tients. The plan of this movement
has been fully explained.
On June 9Th, there are to be Red
Cross rallies over the entire county
and it is hoped that the physicians
will attend these meetings (even for
a brief time) and give encourage
ment to those organizing these class
es. At this time, also, the campaign
against the spread Of tuberculosis
will be opened and should be Of vital
interest to US.
Let us aid the work of the chap
Ger in every way we can. ut wish
ss to do the greatest amount of good
possible for our county, and in no
other way can this be brought about
than to conserve the health of our
people, prevent unnecessary illness
and the spread of contagious diseases
and to intelligently care for those of
our own household.
