Public Nurse Has Many Duties.

In thinking of the work of Pub
lie Health Nurse we naturally think
first of help in caring for the sick
and therefore, it is well to know
something of how she performs this
important piece of work. First OF
all let us assume that we cannot af-
ford, or what so often happens, that
we cannot secure even with money
the services of trained nurse. But
we have a case of illness in the home,
say typhoid fever, influenza, diph-
liberia or any acute illness and no
one in the house understanding Civ
ing the care that the illness demands
if our patient is to get well. Not all
the willingness and love and anxiety
nor fond desire will enable perfectly
untaught and inexperienced persons
to give the typhoid fever patient the
bath that will reduce the tempera-
ture and help save the precious life.
Again let us suppose that not a men,
Der of our family understands taking
temperature, counting the pulse or
watching, the respiration of an in
fnenza patient, and yet these things
mean life or death according to
whether they are observed intelli-
gently and accurately or the reverse,
and careful record of them kept for
the doctor to see on his next visit.
In diphtheria and many other dis
eases, there is grave danger for many
other members of the family and very
great danger also for the life of the
sick person unless we know how to
care for him properly. Therefore, in
acute illness we NEED A TRAINED
AND EXPERT HAND AND MIND to
help us protect our sick. The Public
Health Nurse, making daily visit,

giving the necessary bath. noting the
symptoms and reporting them for the
doctor, means in many cases that our
dear ones will be spared to us. But
such a nurse does more than this;
her visit may last only an hour; the
remaining twenty-three hours of the
day are to be accounted for and she
teaches us how to make use of every
one of them to help get our sick we'll

 EXODUS ID MEXICO
Indian Tribe May Occupy Grant !. From Latin Government Made Half Century Ago
By Associas~d P-ess

Wewoka. Okla. January 22.-At a conference of Seminole Indians held here recently, a decision was reached whereby many Seminole Indians now living in Seminole county will move to Mexico next summer to live upon a reservation allotted them in 1859 by the Mexican government, if claims to the land can be established.
 Louis F. Brown. chief of the Semi- holes, and son of former Gov. J. F, Brown, with a delegation of 14 Seminole leaders have left for Mexico City to confer with President Obregon and ask his decision on the claim. Chief Brown IS in possession of a copper medal upon which the original treaty was made to the tribe, granting the reservation to the Indians. which he will take with him to offer as proof of the grant. The only question that is uncertain in the minds of the Seminole leaders is whether the new Mexican regime will recognize the treaties of the old rulers
 Members of the tribe who will mi grate to Mexico are those who have sold their old ways and customs. The res lowing the removal of restrictions. the Seminole chief said.

For Good of the
 Community

LIVERY new life comes with pain. The pink L little squeaing thing that represents love and hope, confidence and mutual respect, did not arrive in gilded cart decked with roses, but through the nstrumentality of a suffering and endangered woman.
 Yet women accept the yokes of motherhood and put their breast to it as stoutly through one generation as another Each generation of older women fear their daughters have modern ized themselves out of regard and reverence for motherhood Each succeeding generation of women gets something for children that they had not before
 The shorter the woman's skirt the shorter have been the hours of womans labor. The more time they have spent outside the four walls ofhome the more they have gotten for the home.
 Echoes of the fears of the male that woman was being unsexed have been homes for work ing girls, associations of business women breed ing self-respect and independence, laws protect ing children that men never would have written of their own motion
 Woman can no more destroy the home than man can uproot his love for woman. Everything that woman stands for reverberates around the home and bears upon it. Every plank in every platform of remedial legislation that women have stood upon dates back, on analysis, to the home.
 Woman can no more help being mother than live without breathing She need not have chil- dren of her own. The children she mothers may be her own parents, sisters or brothers. The children may bear no blood relation. One of the sweetest mothers in Birmingham is one whose 50 children are all foster children.
 One of the grandest of women Alabama has ever known is the founder of the Boys Industrial School. Another of fine boys herself and busy and sklllful housewife, she yet fabricated the time and the perseverance, the patience and the unfaEering steadfastness until that magnif- icent memorial to her had been created.
 As soon as Joan of Arc had completed her vic- tories for France the woman in her told her to return to her peasant life and become woman again. None may doubt that this woman warrior, even on battles eve dreamed dreams of babe upon her breast.
 Woman does not worry about pain: Nature has nterdicted that because, if she realized ahead of time all that child bearing and rearing means of pain alike of body, mind and heart, she might falter at the threshold of the temple of motherhood. Nature spares her the horoscope that she may have the strength when it is needed.
 Hans Anderson's Little Sea Maid" consented to the exchange of her mermaid half for feet that she might tread the earth and be with the prince whose life she had saved and whom she loved The price was that every step she took was as though she trod on needles What cared the Little Sea Maid" for the pain if she could but have that which she loved. Would man have done 1t? His courage is of another kind.
