In the royal picture gallery you

The Head Nurse Saws:
Aid the C0mmunity

One thing that you as the home
nurse must bear in mind is the fact
|, that health is becoming more and
more a community matter. Regard
less of how well you protect your
family inside your four walls, you
-can make no provision against the
contingency of infectious fevers in
the neighborhood: or a typhoid cpl
demic due to impure milk: or to the
spread of tuberculosis from lack
| of enforcement of the anti-spitting
ordinance.
All this threatens your home quite
as much as the more intimate af-
fairs under your control. OF what
advantage is 1t IL you prepare care
fully balanced rations for your fam
lily. or correct the ventilation of
your house, IL a menace from the
| outside threatens your health and
happiness?
The solution is this: Public health
and the well being of the individual
Is one. Look outside your door. II

Flora came into use through her

whose merciless rule drove the
Jews to their last rebellion, and
Flora was subsequently derived ais

Count Julian. who was much dis

ballads as ''la Cava," the wicked.

sway for trade and commerce. Many
new fabrics will be introduced by
manufacturers of clothing.

Neptune in this days aspect Is held

Under this sway poetic and philo-

new literature promised after the
war will be slow In materializing
in printed form.
Disappointment is foreshadowed
for persons who seek positions or
