Red Cross Classes in Home
Care of Sick

During the present Influenza Epl-
demIc have you been able to obtain the
services of Drained or practical nurse
for YOUR sick? Why not?
The demand for nurses especially
during an epidemic is much create
than to supply. To some the expensive
of having a nurse is almost prohibitive.
The Red Cross course in Home Care
of the Sick is simple comprehensive
course of fifteen practical lessons.
1t does not make of you trained
nurse, but it does teach the essentials
of prevention Of communicable disease
and intelligent care of the sick in the
home.
Responsibility for the care of some
one sick comes to every woman; that
responsibility should be met by lntell-
igent confidence.

Farmers Urge Longer Day

Sherman j. Lowell, Master of the
National Grange, Syracuse, New York,
n a statement given out. declared that
it was the belief of the farmers of the
country that the only way to reduce the
cost of living was for every one to be
willing to do "a reasonable days work,
and that the forty. four-hour week
would never support even America.
Mr.. Lowell ays:-"The National
Grange sees in the future no reason
why it's members should slave long
hours, seven days week, to supply
cheap food to the othe workers of the
country, who enjoy short hours and un-
limited opportunity for rest and pleas
ure. Speaking as the largest and best
established farmers organization in
America, the Grange hereby notifies
the world that the farmers do not in
tend to keep responding to the call,
produce, produce, produce; SO long as
other lines adopt as their slogan, re-
duce, reduce, reduce.
There are five very definite things
that may be expected in time to. have
an effect upon the production of a
worlds food: F..
LIST A more direct and less expensive
system of distribution.
End The removal of all artificial re.
tricfions npon tho aala of farm nrod.
cts.
Sd. A lenthened industrial day, with
honest service for wages paid.
4th. Increased dividends on farm in
vestments which will enable their own
ers to meet the wage scale of compel
ing occupations.
5th. Increasing social and education
al privileges in rural communities,
