Many people do not know that, be-

"Home Service covers a wide and

Red Cross. ut gives aid to families
In solving such problems as budget

NURSING SERVICE IS
RAPIDLY EXPANDING
This American Red Cross Work
Flourishing in Small Towns
Throughout Country.

More than $1,000 graduate nurses
have been enrolled In the American
Red Cross to date and Its department
Of nursing is daily increasing this en-
rOllment.
The department Of nursing has been
authorized to maintain an adequate
reserve of nurses for the army and
navy. 1t win continue to supply the
needs OF the United States Public
Health Service to. which II has as.
signed more than 1000 nurses in the
last year.
1t will assist in establishing proper
nursing service in foreign countries
where the American Red Cross has or.
ganized hospitals. dispensarles and
schools for nurses Courses In home
hygiene and care Of the sick have been
started for thousands of women who
have never received any education in
this direction. Rural nursing which
was In Its infancy short while ago
has been put ahead at least decade
through the work Of the department
Of nursing and local Red Cross
chapters.
Public health nursing has been ex-
tended to many rural communities and
now fourishes actively In hundreds Of
small towns and counties. Nearly
thousand efficient nurses have already
been assigned to this kind Of work.
The department Of nursing is unit.
Ing with other organizations in a years
campaign In recruiting nurses for
training schools, in educating the gen.
eral public as to standards Of nursing
education and In showing communities
their responsibility toward schools of
nursing. 1t will endeavOr to meet all
these needs as well as to continue the
enrolment of dietitians who will be
utilized as Instructors in home dietet.
les, in developing nutrltional clinics,
and In supplying dietitians for the
United States Public Health Service
and the civilian hospitals.
The Nursing Service will continue to
offer to women and young girls the
opportunity Of securing instruction in
home hygiene and care of the sick in
every community In the country. This
instruction has not only laid the foun.
dalton for public health but in some
places has given impetus to the estab-
lishment Of hospitals and community
school houses.
"As community profits by the work
Of the nurse" says Miss Clara d.
Noyes, director of the department Of
nursing, ut is logical that the com.
munity should be aroused to its respon.
sibility. The American Red Cross
stands ready to help In general cam
paign Of recruiting and must have the
support, sympathy and understanding
Of the medical profession as well as
the Intelligent cooperation of the
people at large"

FARMER SHOULD DEVOTE
TINE TO HIS FARM BOY
Habits of Thrift and Industry
Should Be Developed in the
Young Man.

The best crop any man can raise
ON a farm is crop of just plain
kids. What would be the use of
working hard to develop fine farm
unless there were some good de-
pendable boys to leave it to in the
end? But boys and girls are more
difficult to raise than record break
ing cows or fine horses.
Some times a farmer gets so in
terested in building up fine farm
for his children that he forgets to
bring up the kind of children that
can be trusted with a fine farm
He can't leave the boys to grow
up any more than he can turn his
cattle loose in the neighbOrhOOd
and expect to have fine stock in
the end.
"A farmer who is developing a
fine farm that he hopes to turn
over to his boy some day should
devote as much time to the boy as
to the farm" says Alfred Westfall
of the Colorado Agricultural Col
lege. He should make him proud
of his business. He should develop
in him an early interest in agricul-
tural matters. The farmer should
give the boys his ideals and be sure
that he brings the lad up an hon
est. dependable man. He should
look after their. health to be sure
that the boys are strong and Wig
orous. And by constant effort on
his part he should develop in the
young man habits of thrift and in
dustry that will insure his success.
1t takes time and trouble to raise
good crop of children but it's
worth it.

Every one knows that the great
wage-earning classes of America
want Just wages, and a chance to
play their part in the game of life
i'm a manner that will give to them
all the necessities. and their just
proper ticn of comfort and luxurles.
This is the same demand that is
made by every class of human be-
ings. no matter what their station
may lie In life.
But there are so-called leaders
both of capital and laboring classes:
who set up standards OF rights,
which when analysed usually give to
their favored followers an advant-
age over The rest of society. 1t ID
disapproval against this small auto
cratic class-who speak more for
their leadership" than they do for
their constituency, that has brought
the reproaeh upon Wall street. For
Wall Street is simply great money
center for the nation, and it is as
necessary as are the money CEN
ters" of the small and large towns
of the country. These money centers
are called banks, no matter whether
they exist in Wall Street or at
Smiths Crossing.

All of the Local Drug Stores Handle
Re-Cu. Ma and They Are All Max

Local drug stores have received
instructions from the Re-Cu-Ma
Medicine Company of Jacksonville,
Florida, manufacturers of Re-Cu-
Ma, the medicine which is making
such a fine record, all over the
South, to tell every purchaser of a
bottle of Re-Cu-M Ma that it is sold
with the understanding that If af-
ter four days, the buyer has not no
ticed material Improvement In his,
or her condition, the bottle may be
returned to the drug store and every
cent paid for it will be refunded.
The Re-Cu-Ma Company say that
they have such absolute confidence
in Re-Cu- Ma that they have no fear
in making this offer. 1t is the same
offer that they have made in every
town ard city in which Re-Cu-Ma
has been introduced. Thousands
and thousands of bottles of Re-Cu-
Ma have been sold with this under
standing ar d but six bottles have
been returned. Think of this rec
ord! Thousa nds Of people have taken
Re-Cu-Ma and in only six cases has
it failed to improve the conditions
of the sucerer. It's nc wonder is 1t.
that Re-Cu-Ma is the biggest selling
medicine that has appeared on the
market in the last five years.
Druggists all over town are ex-
perienling a big demand for Re-Cu-
Ma. All those who are suffering
from liver, kidney ard stomach

KENTUCKY LIQUOR WILL LAST
FIVE YEARS

There is enough whisky in Ken
lucky to last five years at the pres
ent rates of withdrawal, according
to Elwood Hamilton, Collector of In
ternal Revenue.
Since the Volstead law became Op-
erative there has been withdrawn
from the States liquor warehouses
6.921.896.6 gallons. The supply in
bonded warehouses January 16 was
32,538,SS8 gallons.
Since June 1, when the so cents
a gallon State tax YVES to have be-
come effective, 3,959,071 gallons
have been Withdrawn, according to
figures i'm the hands of State Au-
ditor Craig. The tax law has been
held unconstitutional and is pending
before the United States Supreme
Court.
The road fund for which the tax
was devised would have obtained
nearly 100000 if the law had not
been declared unconstitutional, it is
said. The case will be argued before
the Supreme Court in January,
and if the State loses it is believed
a road bord issue will be consid-
cred.
