PUBLIC AEALTH NURSES
CARE FOR 100000
IN THE SOUTHWEST
Workers in Red Cross Chapters
in Seven States Have
Big Job.

II the 1Oi public health nurses now
working under the emblem Of the Red
Cross In the Southwestern Division OF
the American Red Cross were with
drawn tomorrow, more than 100000
sick and infirm men, women and chill
dren would be left without nursing
care and advice, according to Miss
Olive Chapman, Director Of Nursing
OF the Southwestern Division of the
American Red Cross.
The Public Health Nurse is one of
the most important officers In the
American Red Cross today. Her job
Is to help the people to get well and TO
keep well She teaches mothers how
10 look after their babies and school
children how to avoid Illness and dis.
ease. She is found In schools, homes,
Fairgrounds, Industrial plants, depart.
ment stores, hospitals and health cen.
ters. Her work is In the small towns
and In the big cities, in the rural com.
munities and In the lonely mountain
regions Of the West. She Is wherever
there is need for her service, regard
less Of race, religion or social con.
dltions.
Any form of community work In
which the health of the public is con.
cerned is hers. She visits the rich and
the poor alike and teaches both the
common sense rules of good health.
She locates tuberculous patients and
cares for them and at the same time
teaches the families how to prevent
the disease from spreading to other
members. She assists In school medi-
cal inspection of children and follows
defective children into their homes to
advise the parents and induce them TO
act on the advice of the school doctor.
She watches over families In which
there are contagious diseases, such as
dyphtherin, scarlet fever, whooplng
cough and influenza, and teaches the
families how to isolate the patient so
as to prevent infection.
She takes care OF the mother before
the baby arrives and builds for the
future by showing the mother how to
care for her buby. She gives instruc.
liou III SullllHIy lNluS CoHulllOlS, anu
even at times In questions Of diet.
She is the closest point Of contact
between the great American Red Cross
and the public.
There is a known shortage In the
United States today of several thou
sand public health nurses and there
! Is greater shortage of hospital and
private nurses. Many chapters In the
Southwestern Division Of the Ameri.
can Red Cross maintain public health
! nurses and conduct work of greuter
or less scope through the agency OF
such II nurse. These chapters are de-
pending upon the membership fees
coming In from the annual Red Cross
Roll Call to finance their public health
nursing program for the coming year
The Roll Call will take place Novem
Der 1lth to oath, according to an
nouncement given out at the local Red
Cross headquarters

MAiNuTRiTIoN IN AMERICA
AMONG RICH AND POOR ALIKE

Only four per cent Of the children In
the plains section in the United States
are normal, according to survey re-
Gently made by the American Red
Cross and the United States Public
Health Service Jointly. A large per-
centage of subnOrmnl children are so
because Of malnutrltion. Malnutrition
is answerable for more Ills In the child
life of America than any other one
cause, II has beer ascertalned, and this
condition is found as frequently among
the children of the rich as In the fam
lilies of the poor.
The Red Cross, through its nutri-
is endeavoring to correct the wide
spread condition of under.nourishment
and TO lay the foundation for a
healthier next generation by building
up the strength of the children In
the United States there are over 1000
nutrition classes in which more than
22,0OO children are enrolled In addl-
tlon TO this there are 1913 classes In
Food Selection with over 1900 stu
dents, all of whom either are In ad-
vanced chool grades or are adults.
with a work of this magnitude, with
an effort constantly to increase Its
scope, the Red Cross hopes In the next
few years to teach American children
what to eat when to eat IT, and how
much Of /, to eat, SO that under-nour-
lshment will TO longer be menace to
the health of the nation.
