The Health Visitor.

The public health nurse is primarily
an American institution. About ten
years ago she began to take her place
in community life and she has made
her services indispensable.
Despite the increasing numbers of
public health nurses especially those
fitted for tuberculosis work. her
function is not always clearly under
stood by the public.
Many who would be best benefited
by her ministrations have haZy no.
tons as to her status. One reason for
materially changed in character since
she first stepped forth in her trim
blue uniform to battle disease condi-
tions in the district.
Formerly she dealt with sick people
exclusively. Her field was largely
she bothered little about anything be-
yond that
Now she has a wider range. She
must have a social vision, sympa-
thetic understanding of her patients.
She is the link between the aff1ict ed
families and the agencies ready to
help them.
Infant welfare stations accomplish
comparatively little unless the nurse
goes into the home and carries the
lessons to the individual mother. In
tuberculosis it is the nurse who finds
the cases, who marks the preliminary
selection and gets the suspicious ones
to come to the diSpenSary for exami-
nation. When the family funds will
not permit sanatorium treatment for
a victim of the white plague. it is the
nurse who makes possible his treat
ment at home, by training other mem
bers of the family to keep from de-
veloping active disease.
1t is chiefly in the work OF preven-
ton that the public health nurse finds
her greatest field.
These nurses. or health visitors"
rs they are sometimes called, are en-
ployed by state and city health de-

Billy Mink OutWits the Trap
per.
AS smart and clever as You are.
A mink may smarter be ty FAR.

y
This is what Billy Mini, said to him
self as he uncovered the trap which
had been set for him at the entrance
to one of his favorite holes in the
bank of the Laughing Brook OF
course he was thinking of the trapper
when he said it. At first Billy flew
into great rage. 1t made him angry
clear to the tip of his tail just to
think he must now be always watch
ing for traps where for SO long there
had been no danger.
At first. on discovering that trap,
he had thought to go at once up the
Laughing Brook and see what more
he could discover. But you remember
that Billy was hungry and that there
was a piece of perfectly delicious fish
back in that hole. He llnew now just
how that fish happened TO be there.
He knew that that trapper had put
that piece of fish in there hoping that
Billy would be so eager to get in that
he would be careless.
The more he srneiled it the more
he wanted it. 1T will serve that
trapper right if l can get that fish,
muttered Billy. perhaps it will
teach him that he is not so smart
as he thinks he is. l wonder if 1 can
step over that trap.
Billy sat down and studied the trap
and the entrance to the hole. The
more he studied the more sure he
became that he would be running a
very foolish risk if he tried to step
over that trap just to get piece of
fish. You see, that trap had been very
cunningly placed. But the more he
smelled that fish the more he wanted it.
Billy stroked his whiskers thought
fully. OF course that didn't have any
thing to do with it, but just the same
while he was stroking them he remem-
bered something. His eyes snapped
and he grinned. Way up on the bank
between the roots of a certain tree was
a little hole. 1t was the entrance to a
little underground tunnel, and that tun-
rel led right down to the very hole in
front of which the trap was set. 1t
really was sort of back door.
Billy turned and in a flash had
scrambled up the bank. With his keen
little nose he made sure that there was
no scent of the trapper up there. He
felt sure that the trapper had not found
that little hole between the roots of that
certain tree. But though he was sure of

the main thing is to hold it SO that
1t strikes the ground right. It should

slightly toward the kicker.
Take Good Aim.
Once the center has snapped the
ball, the kicker should never take his
eye from it. He has no time to look
around for the goal posts then. He
must therefore take careful aim be-
fore. SO that when he gets the ball he

Two Ways to Kick.
There are two ways to kick the ball.
One is to strike it below the center
with the point of the toe at the very
instant that it hits the ground. The
other is to catch it squarely in the
instep just as it rises. The former is
better for most men.
Speed. Height, Direction.
When you practice don't take forty
seconds for a kick. Learn to get the

Preliminary estimates Of the

cate that the quantity Of petroleum
marketed from oil wells and field
storage tanks in the United States
in 1918 amounted to 345.5OOOOO bar

OF Bradstreet'S Review
This, according to the publication,
is an apparent gain OF 5 per cent
over the former record output Of
335,5l5,60l barrels established in
1917 The output in 1918 includes
no less than 6,5OOO0O barrels Of

He operated at Sisterville, West Vir-

where he was connected with the
Kansas Natural Gas Company and the
Wichita Natural Gas Company. He re-
moved to Wichita, Kansas, in 1915,

Of the early success Of these fields was
