be called to these objects and that on
Monday next the teachers in all the
schools of the county devote a short
period of the school session to a re-
view of the life and work of Theodore
Roosevelt, laying especial emphasis
upon the answering character of his
Americanism.
The funds to be raised will be given
as freewill offerings by the people to

certified milk is dispensed at cost

Must Report
When Taken iii

According to Dora Thompson, of
the Army Nurse Corps in Washing-
ton, each army nurse on duty
must report when she is i'll
to her chief nurse. She is given
treatment by the physician of her
unit and taken care OF in the hospi-
tai where she serves. If her case
requires special treatment she is
sent to the hospital where this can
best be given her. The care she re-
ceives is the same that is given t.
soldiers.
Convalescent homes at Riverdale,
N. j., and Red Bank, N. j., have
been lent for army nurses who need
rest. The Worn-out nurse is sent to
one of these homes for two and
three weeks al a time. Cases of
nurses who are i'll in this country or
have been returned i'll from overseas
are handled by sending the nurse to
hospital as near her home as pos
sible. If the nurse has to give up
her work for good on account of
sickness she is taken care Of bv the

The Red Cross has an insurance ar.
rangement of its own.

Several months after our entrance
INTO the war it was reported that
American nurses gave out on their
work in a shorter time than the
Canadian nurses. The committee to
secure military rank for nurses then
pointed to the fact that Canadian
nurses had military rank, and con-
sequently were not required to do
the breaking drudgery that Ameri-
can nurses often performed them
selves rather than have a dispute
with hospital orderlies.
Ella Phillips Crandall, of the
Council of National Defence, on
trip to Washington recently to close
the work Of the committee on nurs-
ing, said:
Army nurses now demobilizing
in New York are demanding mill
tary rank as condition to further
war service in our army. They say
they would absolutely refuse to vol
unteer again unless present condi-
tions were completely changed and
rank were granted"
According to Miss Crandall, who
has recruited thousands of appli-
cants for the United States Student
Nurse Reserve and has been in close
touch with the great streams of
nurses now pouring into New York
from France, the army nurses,

Besides the model farm there also
could be, for the enlightenment of
citizens, model half acre or quar-
ter acre, with piggery and
chicken house with admirably kept
fowls. At Van Cortlandt Park
there is ample room for such an
exhibition, though it would be far
more interesting and profitable if
nearer to the heart of the city-sav
at Central Park. If the city fathers
felt unequal to the task of manag-
ing the tiny farm, probably the
Women's Farm and Garden Asso-
ciation could undertake it and run

costumes delighted our eyes last

Grelrs model garden in Union
Square has demonstrated how very
interested were New Workers in that
method of elucidation.
The model farm and the exhibit
Of farm animals possibly may be
more indirect good, but the valua
BILE connection Of the pig and the
garbage should be apparent to any
one. This perfectly practical idea
OF the Farm and Garden Associa-
ilon is well worth taking up. A well
kept piggery on the banks of the
Hudson would be no more obiec-
honable than the tracks of the New
fork Central, or the huge gas tank
at 126th Street. The garbage from
the Claremont alone, at f2lst
Street, would nourish many pig,

and advised, one might almost say
'badgered," by our worthy author

an amusing turning of the tables

tails for taking care of nurses who
are out of health. The American
hospital at Neuilly is available to
nurses overseas who are i'll or
wounded. Upon leaving this hospi-
tai they are sent to the Convalcscent
House for Red Cross workers at
Cannes. Another feature of taking
care OF nurses worn out with their
war service is the recent establish
ment by the Red Cross Of crest
areas" for nurses in Belgium. Sew
eral "pensions" and hotels have been
opened by the Red Cross for their
personnel abroad, of which their
nurses can take advantage. And
upon returning to this country the
nurse will be cared for in the Red
Cross nurses home or hospital
nearest her home. A bureau of in
formation has been established in
New York for the rehabilitation of
returning war nurses.
Now, Red Cross nurse and an
army nurse are not the same, al
though an army reserve nurse may
have come from the Red Cross and
may return to it when her military
service is finished. There have been
only GOA Red Cross nurses overseas
as such, although many Red Cross
nurses have seen service after being
recruited for the army and taken
into the army nurse corps as reserve
nurses. However, when they join

" HE news of the death in
France of Jane Delano, di-
rector general of the De-

quiries as to the personal care given
American nurses abroad. Miss De
lano died at Base Hospital SO, Sava-
ney, France, of complications fol
lowing mastoiditis, for which she
underwent an operation several
weeks ago.
Miss Delano sailed from New
York January on the steamship
George Washington, for the purpose
of making a personal survey of the
nursing situation in France, Italy,
the Balkans and other countries
where the American Red Cross is
engaged in work. She was taken i'll
soon after arriving in France. Sew
eral weeks ago her condition be-
came critical.
Under Miss Delano's direction
more than 10000 nurses were re-

NOR every American man who
fell on the battlefelds of
Europe nine of our babies
lave died. These are the startling
figures of the Bureau of Child Hy-
siene. The war period total was
10000, against our casualty list of
$4,000. And most of these babies
lied from preventable causes.
Of every three deaths one is of a
child under three years. DR.. S. Jose
phine Baker, director of the Bureau
of Hygiene of the City Board of
Health, frankly brands US as a ma
ton careless of human life, and
figures fasten her charge on us.
But the experience of the New York
Diet Kitchen Association land no
doubt of other kindred groups) has
been that when these facts are really
brought to our consciousness helpful
response is immediate. That this re-
sponse falls so far short Of the need
can only mean that the full weight
of such figures is not visualized as
it should be.
If the horror of huge ctyful Of
little slaughtered baby bodies were
really brought home to the parent
heart of our great-hearted nation, it
would quicken to one mighty effort
the determination that such things
should no longer be.

Milk Is Life
To Babies
Can it be possible that our charity
must have the perspective of dis
tance? 1t would seem so, for no
unusual difficulty was found in
financing with American money five
milk stations in London recently.
Yet figures showed that while the
percentage of malnutrition among
London babies was 12 per cent, that
of New York babies during the
same period was 21 per cent. A
speaker lately remarked that "New
York needs to be three to five thou
sand miles from itself in order to be
aroused to a sense of it's crying
needs"
There is one great body of agree
ment where the lives of babies and
children are concerned and that is
the imperative necessity for pure
milk. 1t is actually life-fuid for in
fants and hardly less than that for
