JANUARY REPORT OF co. RED
Cross NURSE.

The Earlville school inspection has
been made complete for this school
year. Health records OF each child
are on file in the Office Of the nurse
A monthly weight chart has been left
in each room and will be throughout
the county and the three best charts
will be shown at the County Fair next
fall.
Two other of our consolidated
schools have been inspected for sani-
tation, etc. 1t might be we'll to say
here that there are some very bad con-
ditions existing in each of the schools
have SEEN These could and would
be corrected If parents interested in
their children would investigate and
demand better conditions. In so doing
gu will benefit your own child and a
reat many others and that is the
meaning of public health.
There have been 221 children in
spected. OF this number 29 have de-
fective vision. defective hearing, 80
nasal obstruction, SO enlarged tonsile,
1873 defective teeth, 26 suspicious
symptoms, such as goitre, enlarged
glands, abnormal temperature. ETC.,
etc.
Notices have been sent to the par
ent Of each child having defects, ad-
Using them to take their child to the
family physician, dentist or occulist.
There have been 80 home visits
made; 13 miscellaneous visits; and 20
health talks to pupils in the rooms.
Four parents meetings where public
health has been explained were held.
inspection of school, buildings and
premises there have been seven. Prop
er use of the tooth brush told and
tooth brush drills in eight school
rooms held.
Demonstrating the proper use of the
paper towels has been an urgent re-
quest, as children have not realized
he paper towel is to be used as
hlotter and not as towel. A serious
complaint has been given from school
boards as to the expense because of
the waste, but our law demands US to
use them regardless, and think the
school boards will realize the price of
paper towels is much less expensive
than an epidemic of disease, which is
" liable in our schools with the use
of a common linen towel.

AN APPEAL TO ALL IOWANs.

/, Des Moines, February Sit is diff
ficuit for the people OF prosperous To-
wa to realize the sufferings of Armen-
ian refugees says DR.. ]. Edward Kir-
bye, state director OF the Near East
Relief.
The following cable has Just been
received from DR.. Henry II. Riggs,
president of Euphrates College, Har-
pout, and Major Davis G. Arnold, man
aging director Of the Near East Re-
lief, through the United States Radio
Service from Harpout, Turkey:
1.-THE Harpout unit is now caring
for four thousand orphans. Our chill
dren are happy, healthy, clean, well
fed, we'll clothed and housed.
wretched, homeless children COINS
daily. tramping through deep SHOWS
and bitter cold, seeking admission to
our orphanage. May we take them in
or must we turn out our own for lack
of funds? Refugees in the streets and
poor in the outlying villages are suf-
fering pitifully in zero weather and
indescribable rags. We have no funds
to feed or clothe them. Medicine is
greatly needed"
Iowa has responded nobly to the
call for help, which has come from the
stricken districts OF the Near East. But
this cable freshly reminds us of our
opportunity to give aid to these strick-
en- peoples, and we appear to Iowans
to give still more literally through the
Near East Relief organizations in ev-
cry county"

ssoO, O,Ooo,Ooo WASTED IN CHURCHES.
DUBUQUE Times-JonrnalA

THAT 100000 superfluous churches,
at cost Of $500,O00, 900, have been
built in the United States was the es-
innate Of DR.. r. w. Peach, of Newark.
speaking at the Inter church Council
in Philidelphia," says the New York
World.
While we heartily agree with DR..
Peach in urging church union the time
has passed when his estimate, of mat
erial wastes could scare anybody. In
comparison with the $4,000 600, 900 ex-
pended upon the war by the United
States alone. a mere half-bilion put
into unnecessary churches does not
sound sensational. Besides, there
Is not always economic waste when a
church has given up the ghost. The
building can usually be sold.
The worst waste is not faced when
the church fails and is discontinued,
but when it keeps on year after year
in mere denominational obstinacy, with
driblet congregation and an under
fed minister, in ruinous spiritual COM
petition with half a dozen others as
poorly supported.
The typical rural village with it's
haif-d0zen starveling churches could
70 advantage sell five of them, reserve
the best building for union services
ana pay one clergeman at least brick
layers wages. AS town institution
OF dignity and power, the community
cnurch might be made so fine an in
sutution that the relatively trifling
material loss in needless buildings
would newer be seriously felt"

MRS. E. CARSON SUCCUMBS TO
PNEUMONIA FOLLOWING AT.
TACK OF INFLUENZA.
LEAVES HUSBAND AND BABY GIRL
Husband Ill with Influenza When
Young Wife and Mother is Taken
From the Home.

Pneumonia of the most violent form
caused the death of Mrs. E. Carson,
living on farm few miles north
west of Manchester, Monday night.
Mrs. Carson was stricken with Influ-
enza week ago Monday, and in a
short time pneumonia developed, and
from then on her strength was grad
Hually growing less, until death releas-
ed the young wife and mother from her
sufferings.
Miss Blanche Fairbanks was born at
Monticello, about thirty years ago, and
was the daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. A.
Fairbank. About four years ago she
was united in marriage with. Mr.. E.
Carson, and for a time they resided in
COggon, where Mr.. Carson was super
intendent Of the public schools. Two
years ago the family moved to the farm
northwest Of Manchester. Mss. Car
son was graduate of the Monticello
High school, and also Of Cornell coll
lege, at Mt. Vernon. In her early
years she was a member OF the Pres
byterian church, but after her mar
riage she united with the Methodist
Episcopal church.
She leaves to mourn her death the
husband, now confined to his bed with
influenza, and q little daughter. who
was born on December Goth, 1913; her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. A. Fairbanks, OF
Monticello. and sister living in New
York, and several brothers.
Mrs. Carson's death brings peculiar
sadness to the home. Never In the
world is mother needed so much in a
home as In the case of the Carson fam
lily. Mrs. Carson was fine type OF
Christian woman and possessed many
traits Of character which endeared her
to all OF the people. In the neighbor-
hood. It Is difficult to understand
why one who has apparently all to live
for should be summoned from the busy
scenes OF. life SO early in her noble
career, The sorrow that is caused py,
Mrs. Carson's untmely death comes
with crushing force upon the husband,
left with the care of a baby, and to the
parents Of the young woman, who low
ed her and made possible for her to
have the best that was theirs to give
thorough education in a Christian
school, In this great calamity the
family has the profound sympathy OF
