THE CHAUTAUQUA.
OPENS FRIDAY, TO-;
Y. VIC. A. WILL GET.
ALL THE PROFITS

Proceeds from the Chautauqua which
opens here Friday afternoon TO continue
seven days, will go towards the build
ing fund of the Young Women's Chris
tion association. This action was taken
at a meeting of those interested in the
affair, Friday night at the Chamber OF
Commerce. at which time Miss Ritter OF
Kansas City, representing the Redpath-
Horner people who are presenting the
Chautauqua explained in detail plans
for the disposal of tickets, and the pro-
gram offered
"The program to be presented this
year is the best ever offered in this COM
munity," Miss Ritter stated.
THE speakers and artists are well
known throughout America and their
program will be of interest to young and
old alike.
THE Chautauqua Is an American in
stituton," Miss Ritter continued, lit
was founded on the theory that people
away from the large cities should also
have the advantage and inspiration of
the leading orators and artists. The
growth and development of the Chau-
tauqua in American has justified the
faith in the plan. The people of Ardmore
and Carter county like the best. They
will have il this year. A single program
seen in New York City, given by the
same people who will appear here, would
cost more than the entire IA programs
which will be offered. A rare intellectu-
al treat is in store for all, and we trust
that full advantage will be taken Of IT,"
In speaking of the Chautauqua DR..
Crayton 5. Brooks, pastor of the First
Christian church. stated that he was
exceptionally well pleased with the pro-
grams land it goes without saying" he
continued, that We are interested in
the members of the Y. w. G. A. and
their plans for n real nome and social
center for the young women of this city.
We want 10 help them in every way
we can. They will receive all profits
over and above the amount guaranteed
to the Redpath-Horner Company. The
people of Ardmore will be glad to learn
that the Y. w. girls have a building site
selected, and we hope funds sufficient
for nice start on the building will ac-
crue from the sale of tickets TO the
Chautauqua."
Representatives from the Y. w. c. A
were present at the Friday night con
ference and We're enthusiastic over the
plans. So
The first program of the Chautauqua
will be Verras Hawaians From a bul-
letin issued by the Redpath Hornel
Company. concerning these musicians
the following is taken: Albert s. Nier-
ra, the greatest ballad singer the Islands
have ever produced, will head the com

His father for l6 years was mayor OF
Honolulu. Charles Paka is the violinist

win you kindly explain what is meant
by backflring? II. D. A.
The term is sometimes loosely used
to indicate q muffler explosion because
the noise comes from the back part Of
the car. Properly it should apply to ex-
plosions in the inlet manifold which
pass out Of and are heard at the car
bUretor. These are caused by lean mix
ture. leaky inlet valve, short circuit,
or wrong wiring. A muffler explosion Is
due to one or more cylinders missing ex-
plosions, The unburned gas Is pushed
out OF the cylinder into the exhaust
manifold on the exhaust stroke. The
next cylinder to fire sends a flame into
the manifold which sets fire to the un-
burned gas and so an explosion is pro-
duced which comes out through the
muffler.

Mrs. E. E. Saunders, town chairman
of the Christmas Seal Sale, announces
that the following organizations will

termined to make a record sale. and
their respective friends will make their
purchases of seals for their Christmas
packages and letters with that end
in view.
The Delphian society voted to buy
the candy treat for the rural school
selling the most seals per capita, and
the Readers club will see that the
grade room in the schools of Bonners
Ferry, including the Northside, will
nave a similar treat. In addition each
child who buys or sells fifty cents
worth of seals receives a red celluloid
double barred cross. The town and
county chairmen ask the support of
the grownups in this effort of the
children to improve the health con-
ditions of our county. Every penny
will help.
The sale of Christmas Seals by the
school children in the county is going
splendidly. The Health Crusaders of
Idaho are in the game. Your door bell
will ring, and mud will be tracked on
your steps by eager little feet hurry
ing to sell the CHEEKY little Christmas
Seals. Please don't think them a nui-
sance-they have mission, they are
in truth crusaders enlisted in a great
battle for health and happiness and
the stamping out of dread disease.
Help them if only with penny or two,
and remember that every time your
door bell rings some one dies of tuber-
culosis. One person dies every four
minutes in the United States, Is every
hour, $50 every day and it costs one
billion dollars year. Tuberculosis is
twice as deadly as war, for while we
lost 10000 men from all causes in the
world war twice as many men, women
and children died of tuberculosis in
the same period.

Eastport, Miss Hutchings, teacher:
Meadow Creek, Joseph Burke, teacher;

SERVICES OF COUNTY HEALTH
NURSE NOW AVAILABLE TO ALL

In securing a public health nurse
the Boundary County Chapter OF the
American Red Cross wished the school
work started first, the other work to
follow. AS the school work is well
started the chapter wishes to announce
that the services of Miss Carleton as
a community nurse are now available
In carrying on bedside nursing ser
vice, she will remain with the patient
only long enough to give the nursing
care that they need and to tell the
family what to do for patients in her
absence. She does not remain in the
house except in emergencies, because
II she did so, one or two patients might
monopolize her time and all her other
patients would suffer thereby. 1t is
sometimes necessary to make two calls
a day on very i'll patients. Some OF
her visits might be for advice and in
struction rather than nursing care
She is ready to serve anyone in Bound
airy county as the work permits. In
struction and advice given free of
charge, while bedside nursing is done
on a fee basis, which is made only
to cover the cost of a visit Patients
unable to pay the full fee should have

discretion. No patient will ever be

keeping in touch with the patient un-
til the responsibility for the condi-
tion needing relief has been assumed
by such relief agency.
Experience has shown that the
scope of usfulness of a public health
nurse is greatly broadened in a com
munity by placing the work on a busi-
ness basis, free from all association
with relief giving. Many families who
would not request the services of a
nurse when the service is on a charity
basis will readily do so when it is on
a business basis, so the Boundary
chapter has set the fee for a visit at
so cents an hour and transportation
expenses whenever possible. Calls for
Miss Carleton should be sent in to the
courthouse or phone 122W Calls will
be made between 8 a. m. and D. m.
