In the dewdrop Dolly saw a large

He looked SO jolly that Dolly could
not help smiling at him. She did not
have to hunt for him. She met him
hopping along the garden path just as
she came down the steps. He was
larger than any of the Dewdrop Fair
les she had seen. He was dressed all
in brown with funny little cacp on
the back of his head. His nose was
little and round and snubby. His
mouth was wide-oh, so wide!-and
1t was stretcher in broad grin that
made you want to laugh as soon as

he.
"Oh, good morning" answered the

Dolly noticed that he did not speak
like the other Fairies. There was a
pleasant kind of laugh in his voice. He
talked something like Dennis who

The Public Health.

Public health nursing viii be one
of the important features of this cam
paign. Rel Cross public health
nurses will be assigned to as many
small communities as possible, thus
extending to the rural population the
bedside nursing, school inspection,
classes in hygiene and home nursing
and search for tuberculosis and other
preventable disease that has been SO
effective in the cities and larger
towns.
In this connection it is planned to
offer to every woman in America in
struction i'm home sanitation, hygiene,
care of the sick and dietetics, thus
providing first-hand knowledge of how
to keep the family well and what to
do where illness or accident cannot be
avoided. These courses are now be-
ing introduced in the public schools
and colleges and are offered depart
ment store employees, factory opera
tives, girl scouts, nursemaids and 9th
ers fitting them to help combat infant
and child mortality, malnutrition, un-
sanitary living conditions, preyentable
disease and epidemics in their own
homes.
The seven thousand public health
nurses in the United States are far
too few to meet the eyer-increasing
demands for their services.

Home Service.

Home service among the families Of
American soldiers and sailors has
brought out the important fact that In
80 per cent of the places where Home
Service is now operating there is no
other social work agency. According
ly there is an imperative demand,
national in scope, that this service
with its thousands of highly trained
workers, be continued and expanded
to assist all needy families in On
munities where other neighborly re

itself ready for instant relief service
