Woman and the Law

Ever since the day of ''the woman
whom thou gavest to be with me-" it
has been the habit of the human race
in case of trouble, to look for the wo-
man. She has been found in the Vol
stead law.
Mrs. Annette Abbott Adams, assist
ant attorney general of the United
States, wrote the opinion which made
the ocean dry" for American ships.
Her opinion declaring beer a medicine
was Mr.. Palmer's legacy to Mr.
Daugherty. Her latest opinion creates
an international situation so grave
that Secretary Hughes is lodging
diplomats, and a cabinet meeting SOL
EMMY considered it. The opinion de-
clares that it is unlawful to transport

Thermometers Grow Old.

Even thermometers become old, and
consequently inaccurate with age. mer-
curial instruments reading too high

former case the bulb appears to
thrink. thus forcing the quicksilver
too far up the stem. This gradual
shrinkage is supposed 10 be due TO the
fact that the external pressure on the
bulb may be considerably higher than
the internal pressure, the air as far
as possible having been removed he

On the other hand. the spirit Their

Through Her Great Beauty.

Lady Hamilton. who. during the

born of n blacksmith and IA cook. The
time was TO come when she was bed
fellow with the queen of Naples. and

While walking along the street AT
the age of sixteen she saw an old
schOOlfellow in the hands of n press
gang that was about to convey him
aboard British ship bound for forced
service. She went to Captain Payne,
commander of the ship. and begged
his release. The captain agreed-on

THE RED CROSS PUBLIC HEALTH
NURSING SERVICE

The program for the evening
luncheon of the Chamber of Com
merce, May 10th. will be in the hands
of the local chapter of the Red Cross.
The topics to be discussed are of
vital interest to every man, woman
and child in Ellis county.
Representative from every town
ship in the county are to be present to
discuss ways and means for the sup
port of the public health nursing SER
vice
The attempt to build up the health
of the-aation, which is the outstand-
ing feature of the peace program of
the Red Cross, is taxing the energies
of the local organizations to the ut
most. The war time enthusiasm has
died out. The response to the mem
bership drive was far from sufficient
to meet the cost of this invaluable
service.
The finest advertising asset which
a community can have is low sickness
and death rate. What are we as a
county going to do to develop the
health of this locality?
Our present public health nurse,
Mrs. Evalina Reed, by her splendid
efficiency and winning personality,
has done wonders in gaining a gen.
eral sympathy for this movement.
