PUBLIC NURSING
USES GOOD PLAN
Mrs. Ruth Dodd Establishes County
Unit Method in South Carolina
Sees Good Results.

Public health nursing, when intro
duced into the different states, ha:
been approached and developed &C
cording to various methods anc
through various channels. In Soutl
Carolina it has been developed thru
the state board of health, where il
seems to belong, and Mrs. Ruth Dodc
supervisor of the bureau Of child hy
giene and public health nursing, ha:
worked out the county unit plan fol
South Carolina and has it in success
full operation through the state. Mrs
Dodd used this same plan successful
ly in Lowden county, III, where she
directed this work, and brings this
plan to South Carolina with a wealt!
of experience and understanding.
Organization of Wor-.
This bureau was established In
South Carolina by the general assem-.
bly, in 1919 and the staff consists OF
state supervising nurse and three
district supervisors, one of whom Is
financed by the bureau, one by the
Southern division of the American
Red Cross and one by the state tu-
berculosis association. The state has
been districted and Is counties al
lotted to each district supervisor. Ii
is the duty of these supervisors to
act in an advisory capacity to public
health nurses in her district, to co.
ordinate all public health nursing &C,
tivities and to assist in rne develop
ment and organization o. new ser,
vices.
The work has it's headquarters al
the county seat. The ultimate aim i!
to develop a nursing service, cover
ing the entire state with network o1
community nurses.
Each county contemplating a nurs
ing service should organize count!
nursing association or a representa-
tive committee under which tn,
nursing service may function. Eacl

SUGAR TOURS 5000 MILES
FROM CUBA TO CHICAGO
Brought From Canada, Coming From
English Brokers.

Chicago is approximately 1,4O0
miles from Cuba-as crow flies
But Cuba is approximately 5000
miles from Chicago as sugar flies.
In that geographical tangle, Mr..
Ultimate Consumer, lies an eSplana;
tion of the price you have to pay at
the corner grocery for sugar.
When Chicago wholesalers buy di-
rectly from Cuban sugar growers
and federal authorities prevent spec
ulation the sweetening of your morn
ing coffee costs you about 9 cents
pound. But just now Chicago whole
salers are buying their sugar from
Canadian dealers, who received it
from English brokers, who exported
it from Cuban plantations.
Three. or four profits, a $1,000
mile tour and the vicissitudes of fre.
quent handling make the sugar cost
| the dealer 80 instead of z or cents
a pound.
Stanley Clare, collector of customs
at Chicago, threw light on the sugar
question when he announced that A.,
100000 pounds of sugar had been i'm
ported from Canada in recent weeks
Virtually all of the cane sugar nov
reaching Chicago comes from Cubs
via England and Canada, the collec
tor said.
