HEALTH NURSE MOORE'S
SEPTEMBER REPORT

Let me but do my work from day to
day
In field or forest, at the desk or loom,
In the roaring market place or tran
quilt room
Let me but find it in my heart to saw.
When vagrant wishes beckon me
astray,
This is my work. my blessing not my
doom
Of all who live I am the one by whom
This work can best be done in the
right way.

Henry Van Dyke.

AS we all very well know, the
month of September has been the hot
tcst-the very hottest of the whole
summer, and yet the Red Cross Nurse
has been buster, if such a thing were
possible, than any other month dur
ing the year. 1t is true she has not
been inspecting the school children to
learn of any defects, but she has been
busy every day trying to locate
families where there was Tuberculo-
sis, visiting and instructing them in
the care and prevention of this dread
disease. There were 38 such calls
made in the homes. In addition to
the instruction given in the home she
hes given a talks in public with an
attendance of over 400. 15O pieces of
literature on this subject were distri
buted. The conditions found in most
OF the homes were far worse than we
would be willing to believe existed in
our own fair county. In many of the
homes nursing care was given. This
care consists in giving baths, combing
halr, changing beds, disinfccting bed
linen, disinfccting rooms, or CARRYING
out any other instructions Of the at
tending physician. This work is done
with a member of the family, neigh
Dor or attendant watching, in order
that the work can be done in the
! nurses absence. These calls reouire
from forty-fivc minutes to an hour
ana half. There were az such visits
made on Tubercular and other
patients
There were three prenatal visits
made and instruction given; 80 visits
to little babies under two years of
age, l59 visits to physicians, nursing
committees and others at which time
the work and plans were discussed.
IN all amounting to $50 visits. OIL
miles were covered by the nurse and
her faithful friend "Hcnry" in dis
charging these duties.
one day was spent taking Il little
boy to the hospital i'm Sumter. He
| had fallen and hit his head and was
UNCONSCIOUS. 1t was very much fear
ed that ne might not live, but after
taking N-Ray pictures, the surgeon
decided that it would not be necessary
TO operate and we are glad to report
| that the little fellow is home, is con-
sciOns and is doing nicely.
We are still having some typhoid
! which means that in some way pcoplc
who are responsible for the care of
these patients have neglected all the
"etallS which arc necessary in order
that no one else might become infect

ing hands, dishes. bed linen and the

FARMER HAS HIS TROUBLES.

Many people who are free with criti-
clsm Of the farmer. his ways and his
prices, have never taken the trouble
TO try TO see the farmers problems
through the farmers eyes. The city
consumer, with an appetite for chick
en-, has not been with the farmer
through the trials and tribulations Of
bringing a chick from the egg stage
to the broiler. The old hen must be
fed. housed and attended. The little
chickens require even more care. They
Rats cats and other animals menace
them and so do poultry diseases. When
sufficiently large they are killed.
dressed and taken TO market. All
this Is TO be considered in connection
with the price charge. Practically ev-
cry crop the farmer raises takes the
chance OF being ruined by weather o.
insects. Tf he arises at daybreak
milks a COW, cleans out the barn, COM
for clean milk and then peddles that
milk at II cents a quart, he is charged
with being a profiteer Without farms
there would be no food and without
food there would he starvation. says
Indianapolis News. The big farmer
has made money and lives a. well or
better than his city brother. If the
little farmer makes merely a living
he feels reasonably we'll paid for his
labor. II is the average farmer who
needs help and there should be a more
sympathetic understanding OF his diff
culties ny the city people.

Blue Serge Dress Trimmed With EIab-
crate Soutache Braiding and EN-
broidered in Black and Blue.

wise make it expensive, for it re-
quires great deal of thought to
have ones clothes cleverly plain.
There are any number of forms of
trimming for serge frOeks, and each
one may suggest to the woman gifted
in designing her own clothes or in
giving an individual touch to the
| designs of others various modifica-
tiOns of each idea. In Other>wOrds,
each way of trimming suggests other
ways, just Us a good model is adapta-
bic to q number Of variations.
On n blue serge frOck from Renee
of Paris the trimming takes the form
of elaborate SOutache braiding and
embroidered in black and blue. A
charming feature is the novel arrange
ment of the side panel and the under
skirt which slips through q slash in
the Overdress to form a sort of peck
ct. The slashed portion fastens with
button and buttOnhOle. The panel ap-
pears on the left side only. On the
sleeves there is Il similar trimming.
Little Solace for Thick Ankles.
Many of the best designers are max
Ing skirts that are really long.
Serge frequently is combined with
lace. This. of course. makes quite n
dresSy frock II is hard for some of
us to reconcile the idea of such a com
bination, since in past seasons serge
has meant the purely practical
Leather trimmings appear on some
of the serge models. The Ieather-is
punched with eyelets in all sorts of
designs. This idea is not new. bat
dresSmakerS report that it is Just
now in the full bloom of its popular
ity.
The dresses made entirely of leath-
er are very interesting. We have had
leather coats of various sorts for many
years. but the chemise frOck of soft
kid is new. The kid is embossed in
way 10 give the appearance of a
beautiful old brocaded fabric that is
closely akin TO the lovely Venetian
book and portfolio covers in their mel
low golden brown tones. These hues
usually are selected for leather
dresses
Trimming would be out Of the cues
ton on frOckS such as these. The
sleeves are cut in one piece with the
dress and are short. coming well above
the elbow. There is always n wide
sash of the soft leather which ties on
one side. Leather sasheS such ~
these have been used most effectively
by French dressmakers on country
frockS of bright-hued homeSpunS and
cheviotS. which. like the leather
dresses, are made in simple chemiSe
form.
Satin Dress Mid-Season Affair.
Very interesting are the trimmings
of Rodier ribbons. especially the silk
serge ribbons in mixed colors. These
are used for girdles on sergeS and
stitched to the frOcks in the form Of
folds
The satin dress is always more or
less a mid-season affair. Satin is a
change from the cloth dresses OF the
winter and the filmy ones Of summer.

and change we simply must have. II
7 is all very well TO talk of economy and
wearing the same dress for long pc
riOd of time, but there is q point where
economy ceases to be a virtue, sand
that is the point where we do not have
feeling of newness or pleasure in
our clothes and where they react upon
US and make Us feel dowdy and unin-
teresting. To change from the serges
and velOurs of winter into a frock OF
satin or crepe de chine is very re
freshing.
An afternoon. dress from Jenny de-
veloped in taupe satin of a rather
heavy quality is in the One-side effect
which was so much a feature of the
autumn models. The sleeves are un-
usual and full length, and the neck is
finished with a high standing collar
This is a good model for spring, and
might be developed in any of the
shades Of brown or in black.
Lace Favored in Varied Effects.
One Of the very newest satin mod.
els is in a duh bronze shade with an
overdress in redingOte style made of
bronze crepe geOrgette embroidered in
a leaf and floral design in bronze silk
threads. The redingOte is open from
neck to hem, revealing a tight fOunda-
ton of the satin, and is caught AT a
low waiStline with a metallic ribbon
which ties in a small bow at the left
side. A wide band of brown fur trims
the flowing sleeves, which are three
quarters length.
The popularity of lace is likely to
continue throughout the summer, at
least, and with the vogue for lace we
may expect the continuation of draper
les and panels. Three-quarter length
sleeves of interesting cut are featured
in many of-the lace frOcks, and follow
ing this closely are the three-quarter
length flowing chiffon sleeves which
may appear in a dress made entirely
Of velvet or satin and be Of a strik-
ingly contrasting color, such as one of
the new reds in a dress of black satin
a girdle sash may match the sleeves
in fabric and color.
The vogue for the lace dinner gown
is very pronounced. Whereas in the
past it was made over satin, velvet or
metal cloth furnishes the present-day
foundation for a lace gown. Russian
effects are much liked
Harks Ninety Years Back.
y model from Callot is in lace and
velvet. The lace is a black chantilly
and the foundation all of green velOurs
de Lyon. The skirt drapery and novel
mantlelike wrap are formed by the
lace.
Such n plentiful use of lace has
lightened for the time being the
work of the embrOiderer's needle, for
the lace frOck takes the place of the
one which is very deliberately Orna-
mented with needlewOrk.
With the fashion for pointed panels
favored so strongly by Madeleine Won
net, one of the most authoritative max
ers of the present day, many pointed
laces are used.
For young girls there are. pinafores
of lace over foundations of bright-col-
Ored brOcades or taffetas. In direct
opposition TO these straight-line frocks
are the full-skirted models that Ian
win, that famous creator of youthful
models, brought out in the autumn.
They are proving a success for the
debutante. These billOwing yet filmy
