EVERY WoMAN'S PROBLEM.

Every woman finds herself con-
fronted with many home problems,
and one of the most important ones
that one most often neglects is
dealt with in the classes of Home
Hygiene and Care of the Sick.
The American Red Cross thru
its department of nursing is urging
the extension of its classes in Hy-
giene and Care of the Sick. The
course consists of fifteen lessons of
one and one half hour each and in
cludes such subjects as the causes
and prevention of sickness; care
or babies; care of patients with
communicable diseases; feeding
the sick; appliances and methods
for the sick-room, etc.
The Greenbrier County Chapter
has been most fortunate in arrang-
ing with Ophelia Feamster to teach
three classes, beginning August I'd
and ending Sept. nth. Those, who
have taken the lessons under Miss
Feamster regard it as great priv
ilege and would advise every wo-
man and girl who can possibly do
so TO join class.
Miss Feamster is a teacher of un-
usual ability and teaches the sub
Jects OF these classes in several of
our large colleges and training
schools.
The class membership is limited
10 twenty, the cost of the whole
course will be between So and Sc,
according 10 distance from Lewis
burg. The Chapter is planning to
have one class in Ronceverte, one
at White Sulphur, and one at Lew
isburg; but if there are enough wo-
men and girls in other sectinos who
desire these classes the Chapter
Will be glad TO arrange for them
to have one.
All those who would like or ex-
pect to join classes in Hygiene and
Home Care of the Sick will please
notify MRS. JAMES M. PRESTON.
Lewisburg, at once.
