TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS

The trials and tribulations of a
newspaper man are sometimes beyond
description. For instance, last week,
the flu went through the Office force
and sent a few home to their beds
In the attempt of others to do double
work, some errors happened. The old
time items of thirty-five years ago be-
came divided and our old citizens es-
pecially were startled to read in the
news items of today of meeting of
the NJ. E. Church lyceum held last
evening"" in which appeared the names
of those who took part thfrty-five years
ago. Several other mistakes of a SIM
liar nature occurred and of course, all
helped pile up the troubles. Condi-
tions are nearly normal again, thank
goodness.

ANOTHER INCREASE, AND
MORE CLAIMS FOR
SOLDIERS

Under date of January 81, 1920, the
| Comptroller of the Treasury rendered
a decision in which he held that sol
! diers on foreign service, where twenty
per cent increase is payable, are en-
| titled to such increase on and after Ju-
/ ly II, 1919, ON their entire base pay in
| stead of on their old base pay as was
authorized during the World War.
/ This decision will have the effect of
increasing the pay of private on for
eign service to $50 instead of S33 as
heretofore paid during the war period,
such increase being effective on and
after July II, 1919.
The beneficiaries under this division
are those enlisted men who were serv-
ing in Europe, the Philippine Islands,
and Alaska on and after July IL, 1919
and they will be entitled to additional
pay as follows:
Those who received $4,000 to S40.2O
$500 per month more.
Those who received $40.S0, 2.40 per
month more.
Those who received S44.00 to $500,
1.60 per month more.
Those who received $4,000 or more,
1.20 per month more.
The above rates of pay pertain only
to those men who were serving in their
first enlistment. Twenty per cent in
crease is not payable for service in the
Canal Zone, Panama, Porto Rica and
Hawaii. Additional pay due for for
eign service during current enlistment
will be adjusted on pay rolls.
The Office of the Director of Finance
is prepared to pay the claims arising
under this decision. Discharged sol
diers who returned to the United
States after July II, 1919, should make
application to the Director of Finance,
Claims Division, Munitions Building,
Washington ID. c., for blanks on which
to submit their claims. AS these
claims are not SO complex as those
for back pay and refund of allotment,
it will be possible to pay them more
promptly, but as is is estimated that
there will be between 250, 900 and 3O0,-
600 soldiers who will submit claims
under this decision, manifestly it will
take some time to make all payments,
but claims will be settled in order of
their receipt. In requesting blanks,
soldiers should print their name and
address, in addition to signing the re-
quest, in order that a proper record
may be obtained, and to avoid delay
in letters being misdirected.
1t is estimated that it will require
about one million eight hundred thou
sand dollars to pay the claims of the
discharged soldiers who have returned
since July IL, 1919.

TRAINING SCHOOL FOR
NURSES

Milwaukee has a training school for
nurses where young ladies may &C
and receive training with living ex-
penses paid.
Nursing as vocation gives young
woman a very excellent means of live
lihood, and at the same time affords
her an opportunity of being an active
agent for betterment in her ccmmun-
it,.
Requirments for Entrance
Applications for the course of train
ing need have only an eighth grade
education, they must have good healtn
and must be 20 years old, or in ex-
ceptional cases girls of Is are accep-
ted.
The Bureau of Home Nursing was
organized by the society for the care
of the sick and two years ago the
beautiful Trostel home at sos Jack
son ST., was given to the society for
the use as training school. Girls from
out of town can thus live in beautiful
and home-like surroundings, enjoying
the sociability of the other girls in
training. The living expenses during
training are covered by the society for
the care Of the sick.
The course consists of six months
of training and this includes two
months of lectures and lessons, two
months of hospital experience at Bea-
yer Dam or Waukesha and two months
in home nursing. During their train
ing at the school, the girls learn how
to buy food, prepare and serve meals
and are given practical instructions in
house work. The course of lectures
and lessons includes lectures on anat-
omy and physiology. on obstetrical
work, and on practical points in nurs-
ing. The faculty is made up of an ex-
cellent trained staff with Mrs. Frances
Smith as superintendent. Mrs. Smith
is graduate of Columbia University
school of domestic science, and of
Micheal Reese hospital, Chicago, and is
a registered nurse. Extra lectures are
given by Milwaukee physicians who
have lent assistance and support at all
times in the work of the Bureau of
Home Nursing. The young women
who complete the six months of train
ing are known as cadette nurses and
their work is supervised by the super
of the school.
The Bureau is financially supported
by the centralized budget of charities
and by private donations and, also by
the cases of home nursing taken care
of by the e~bureau. A letter directed to
the Bureau, Milwaukee will bring you
all particulars

More interest was manifested in the
primary election last week than ever be-
fore in its history; but glance at the
figures will disclose the fact that the

governor on the Republican side. There
was no controversy on the Democratic,
that party being satisfied to put up 3
single candidate for most offices.
In the matter of governor on the Re-
publican ticket Frederic b. Psrkhurst
was the successful candidate. The latest
figures, with q few towns which had

This shsle is decomposed matter thrown
up by the waters of the great Salt Lake
