HEALTH BULLETIN ;
CITY OF ELY !.
by OWEN w. PARKER. M. D..
Health Commissioner

The following has been taken from
bulletin of the National Organiza-
tion for Public Health Nursing of
New York, City. AS there is consid-
cradle misunderstanding at times as
to the duties Of public health nurse,
the subject matter herewith present
ed gives some useful information to
the general public regarding the pub
lie health nurse and her duties.
For number of years, the school
board, of the school district in which
the City of Ely is located has en-
ployed a school nurse, who is public
health nurse carrying out one par
ticular line of work in such nursing
trict and not by the City of Ely, al
though the City of Ely directly re-
ceives benefits.
The County of st. Louis has also
employed, for over one year, public
health nurses, one of whom has her
headquarters in the City of Ely.
Besides their other public health
work, these county nurses do tuber-
culosis work. The City of Ely is
directly re ewing BENEFITS from the
work of the county nurse in this dis
trict, although it is not paying any
thing directly for the work, as the
CO unity pays all the expenses in,i-
dent to this puolic hea' 'th work.
AT the present time the City of
Ely is not spen1i lg any money .snst-
ever on Public Health Nursing.
There is decided field in this city
for one branch of public health nurs-
ing, which is not being touched at all.
and that is the branch of infant well
fare and care of children up to school
age. This. is a very important
branch, and if covered, would give
Ely excellent public health service in
the whole field of such work, as it
would link up with the school and
county public health nursing service,
already in operation.
Following is the bulletin mention
ed of the National Organization for
Public Health Nursing of New York
City:
When and wherever there is life
to be tended, nourished or nursed,
educated or saved; whether the life
be yet unborn Or newborn, senile or
i'll, there is the field for womanhood
exercising its great function of fos-
ter motherhood.
During the past twenty years this
great function of foster mother

itself and emerging more clearly as

Sinclair, and few other mistaken
individuals to the contrary notwith-
standing, the small towns are ideal
places in which to live, says the
Winnebago Enterprise. They are
free from the crime and squalor, VIC
iousness and avarice, sham and pre-
tence of the larger centers of pop
ulation, and the milk of human kind
ness flows little more freely. 1t is
true that the small towns have their
gossips and busybodjes, who deem it
their mission on earth to guide the
universe away from destruction, but
these undesirables are more than
counterbalanced by the good folks
who would go long way out of their
road to do you a favor. In the city,
you are an excepection if you know
your next door neighbor. He goes
his way in solitary grandeur, and you
follow your lonesome channel across
the sea of life, neither showing the
slightest recognition when you meet.
And some day, hearse will back up
to your neighbor's place of residence,
take his lifeless body away, and the
passing of human soul will mean
nothing in your life. 1t is different
in small town. Human sympathy
is not at premium, but is ready and
| waiting the stricken and the afflicted.
Ministering angels of kindhness are
not lacking when sickness invades the
home. The whole town sorrows
when you sorrow, and rejoices when
you rejoice. We may be short on
what is called culture" but we are
long on those little things of every
day life that makes this worry a
brighter place to live III. Somehow,
the handclasp is little stronger, the
greeting more genuine, the friend
ships tied by closer bond of affec-
ton. No matter what the critics
may say, the small town is worth
while, and it will continue to be, as it
has been in the past, the cradle and
backbone of real Americanism and
real American life.

@'' FOREST NOTES
(By the Superior Forest Ofice.)

Friday afternoon, May goth, Ran
ger Denley called in and reported a
large fire in the vicinity of Green
wood Lake, from six to eight miles
out, which famed by Southwest
wind, was rapidly advancing toward
the Superior National Forest. Sat
urday, Ranger Denley reported the
fire had entered the boundaries of
the Superior Forest and was barning
in the vicinity of Camps 8 and g.,
threatening a block of timber esti-
mated at 100000 feet. A crew
of thirty men was dispatched to the
scene of the fire Saturday afternoon
and these men, aided by the heavy
rain of Sunday morning, succeeded in
checking the fire which had assumed
large proportions having frontage
of almost twelve miles. The origin
of this fire is not known, though it
doubtless was caused by either a
brush burning crew or by travellers
through the Forest. Loss to the
Forest outside of considerable desir-
able young reproduction was insig-
nificant. Had it not been for Sat-
urday's rain, the fire would have
destroyed at least greater percent
age of the stand of timber between
Camp 10 and the Isabella River,
containing one-half billion feet.
Over 1000 acres of National Forest
area was burned over. Due to the
lay of the land it would have been
impossible to have headed off this
fire and but for Sundays rain there
would have been big black streak
across "The Playground OF A
| Nation"
Ranger Denley who had charge of
fighting the fire, reports that the
fire is now killed and that the crew
will return to Ely the latter part of
the week. The cost of fighting this
fire isapproximatly $1,000.
At the same time Ranger Denley
was fighting the fire in the Stoney
District, a crew Of thirty men under
Hanger Taylor were combating a
fire in the North Shore District in
the vicinity of Cramer. Ranger
Taylor reported this fire under con-
troll. The cost of fighting this latter
| fire was approximately $500.

DISCONTINUED

Free anti-typhoid vaccines have
been discontinued by order of Dr. w

yesterday that citizens of Pueblo had
not responded to the call for personal
assistance in health measures to the
degree that had been hoped. From
this date on persons wishing an anti
typhoid vaccine must apply to a ply
slcian and pay the usual charge for
professional services.
Dr. Buck stated yesterday that
plenty of time and publicity had been
given a movement for the free anti
typhoid vaccine that every person in
Pueblo could have received injections.
A qualified physician was stationed in
the health office at all times for the
purpose of giving vaccine injections.
Owing to the small number of people
presenting themselves, however, 1t
was decided to do away with the free
anti-toXins.

THE PUEBLO CHIEFTAIN
WORK ON Permanent
DAM On SOUTH SIDE.

Temporary dam works that have
been in the process of construction at
the south side water works inlet for
the past three weeks will be aban-
doned as far as the plan of making
water barricade Is concerned, it was
onel Caples. head of the United States
army engineers. in charge of construc-
ton work at the water plant, stated
yesterday afternoon that permanent
dam would be made at the reservoir
inlet by means of throwing out piles
on which railroad spur would be
made.
I'VE will then dump stones of to
tons weight over the side of the
pileway, starting at the north bank,
stated Colonel Caples. This work com
pleted. it is planned to Ali up with
Stag and stone work until dam is
built around the piles in such man
ner to hold the water to level neces-
sary to maintain flow in inlet run
ways.
across the shortest part of the river
Just below the inlet runways, 1t is
stated A spur will be build from the
Denver and Rio Grande Railroad com
pany's right of way that runs along
the south bank of the river at this
point Another spur will then he run
across pilings in the river bed for
transporting rock and Stag that will
form the basis of the dam. The pilings
will ahso be utilized as reinforcement
to the dam.
Colonel Caples was unable to state
definitely yesterday at what date the
permanent dam would be completed,
In using permanent describing the
dam that would be constructed he
qualified the adjective by stating that
the dam would be permanent as long
as the rived remained within its pres
eut defines. Colonel Caples went on to
state that the Arkansas river had at
one time or another assumed channel
positions that would cover ground
from the bluffs above the Union depot
to point high on the northside.

ings AT any time again. unless proper
precautions are taken" declared Col
onel Caples.
Both water systems should origin
ate at a point in Rock Canon" Colonel
Caples said. at that point, an eleva-
ton about 400 feet above Pueblo, the
river is confined within definite
boundaries of rock formation, with
some indication of assurance that II
will not wander over the surrounding
country. of water plants that might
be erected
The decision to build a permanent
dam came as the result of the freshet
of July 4 washing out 25 feet of the
northern river bank at a temporary

that the further out a ietty or dam
was constructed the further away the
opposite bank Of the river would go.
At the present time a level of water
Is being maintained that will insure
water to the south side reservoirs
Twelve thousand gallons of water per
minute are being pumped to the reser-
voir at the present time.
Colonel Caples requested that all
owners of dump motor trucks please
call at his office in the new auditor
