DEARTH OF NURSES
HAMPERING HOSPITALS
State Association Outlines
Program to Present Needs
of the Profession

Because of the inability to secure
young women to take the necessary
training courses and the conse-
quent dearth of nurses, Delaware
Hospital faces the prospect of clos
ing one wing of the institution.
This startling fact was brought out
at the regular spring meeting Of
the Graduate Nurses Association,
in a statement made by Miss Mary
Moran, president. She urged that
every possible means be taken to
interest the yong women OF the
state in this work in an effort to
keep the hospitals and other insti-
tutions open.
Miss Caroline Sparrow, superin-
tendent of Delaware Hospital, was
appointed chairman of a commit
tee to bring before the young
women of Delaware the numerous
opportunities in the profession, and
the need of pupil nurses in the
training schools. Tableaus repre-.
senting the different phases OF
nursing since the time of Florence
Nightingale, demonstrations OF
the first aid and of various inter
esting things of the profession viii
be given throughout the State.
It will be recalled that repre-
sentative of the Red Cross present
ed the needs of the profession to al
interested audience at Wolf Hal

Relaxation of Body, Fresh Air

The designation by local min

article on that subject from one OF
our exchanges.
"Worry is a shortener of life.
We have all seen sufficient evil
dences among our friends and rela-

is true. One great writer has said
that worry is rust on the blade.
Now, if this disease IS so fatal, it is

Some persons in their thoughtless-
ness or in their lack of knowledge
can only say, Forget it, when they
find person worrying. This may
be effective in many cases, but the
individuals afflicted with the worry
disease would rather be shown a
way out of the gloomy dells into
which their indulgence in worry
has cast them. Worry in most

The person having the disease
must be quarantined, but the strict
isolation so essential in scarlet
fever and smallpox is not necessary
in the treatment Of chicken pox,
unless there are puny children you
desire to protect. Confinement to
the house is all that is required,
until all scabs have fallen off.
Regarding the treatment Of
chicken pox there is not a great
deal to be done, as it is self-limit-
ed disease and complications are
not frequent. The child must not
be allowed to scratch himself, how
ever, as there is danger of his in
fecting the area of the eruption and
thus ciusing a condition which may
lead to permanent soaring. The
finger nails should, therefore, be
trimmed short to prevent the
scratching, and if the patient still
persists in it, some method must be
adopted to confne his hands. A
solution of tincture Of iodine and
alcohol, half and half, may be used
to paint these eruptions and pre-.
vent infection. Sponging the pa.
tient with solution of warm car
bolic acid (one-half teaspoonful tt
the pint) will oftentimes relieve the

CHICKEN POX

Chicken pox is, in all probability,
the commonest of diseases OF chill
dren, and also one Of the least
dangerous. It usually develops from
about thirteen to sixteen days al
ter exposure and begins with
fever. The fever varies IN degree
from a slight rise in temperature 10
1O4 or 1O5 degrees. The character
istic eruption appears at the same an,
time. This consists of a bllster-llke
rising, usually appearing first on
the back A few scattered veslcles
(blisters) are seen on the face ana
hands, and frequently IN the
mouth.
The disease runs a mild course
and complete recovery is to be ex-
pected within ten days or two
weeks. 1t is much discussed
question as to whether children
should be Intentionally exposed to
chicken pox, as it is highly com.

not contract it during his child

WHOOPING COUGH

Whooping cough IS a most dis
+rpssing disease both to the parent
and to the chill. It is long and !
nrotracted illness, usually lasting
from six to ten weeks. One attack
usually confers permanent I'M
munity. 1t develops from four to
fourteen days after exposure. The
first symptoms noticed are those OF
a rather severe cold accompanied
hv a peculiar spasmodic cough,
which is out of all proportion to
the other symptoms, and often
causes vomiting. In the beginning,
for the first ten days or two weeks,
the characteristic whoop is not
present. The cough occurs IN short,

as the "whoop." The face is

the spread to other persons. This Is
extremely difficult, as it is not

the subject of battery service.

knowledge do not know. We haven't

need nothing more than refilling with

him gladly free Of charge, and then
he will be told about the troubles he
will have if he disobeys the inviolable
battery laws. If we cannot fix him
up, we shall tell him where and how
he can be taken care of. That is oul
idea of service. We are helping the
automobile business to grow into
something bigger and better by help
ing each owner who needs battery
