Your Health
Angels in Blue


One Of the greatest factors in max
ing 1921 the healthiest year in the
history Of our country was the
angel clad in blue" the public health
nurse. That 1921 attained a death
rate of s.54 per 1000 lives. 1871 per
cent lower than 1920. gives an idea
Of her work.
A public health nurse is a trained
nurse who has had special i~nstruc-
ton in public health work and who
spends all her time. not in the care
OF the sick, as does the trained
nurse. but in the prevention of sick
ness. You employ a trained nurse
when someone is very IN. The pub
lie health nurse is employed by the
state. county. city, town or village
or sometimes by private organiza-
tons, such as the Red Cross. the
local tuberculosis society, and by
large stores and factories.
The public health nurse teaches
mothers how to keep babies well.
She visits homes where there is con-
tagious disease and instructs the
family how to prevent IL from
spreading. She assists the school
medical inspector and afterward
visits the homes and urges parents
to follow the instructions of the doc
tor.
The work of the public health
nurse has proved to be one of the
o effective measures of protect
ing the health of a community and
is an important factor in the pre-
vention and control of communion
BILE disease, because she visits and
~instructs the individual in the home.

BUTTERFLY" BECOMES
CORPORATION PRESIDENT
BY HALE

From society woman to president
of a large corporation sounds like a
long journey. but Mrs. Isabel l..
Wharf just made an overnight trip
of it.
In just that length of time she
was graduated from matinees, teas
and other feminine delights TO the
more sophisticated type of entertain
ment offered by directors meetings
and business conferences.
Until she assumed the manage
ment of a large advertising business
in New York, with branch Offices in
several of the larger cities. she had
had no business training.
She had never given much thought
to the matter of woman's place. TAX
ins for granted it was in the home,
So when she entered the private
Office that had been her husbands
and took UP the business that had
been his she had no theories as TO
how a business should be run and
no ~prejudices against any new
methods.
She possessed what we call the
open mind.
"At first, I Just sat at my desk
and absorbed the atmosphere OF
business about me-" she says. Then
1 began to learn the various depart
ments of work and I worked up a
splendid enthusiasm for every detail
of it.
Now I am devoted to my work
and would not leave it for anything
The foundation upon which

We are in business to render
service, and ii is by rendering
service to the best of III ability
that we make our success.

that everyone in my employ not only

or even of carelessness, but l cannot

Kitchen Hints
Tempting Menus

Inc communion OI IIuAL anu
meat cooked together is most unus-
ual but most delicious. Pork and
apples are an old combination, the
apples often being roasted with the
meat or baked en- casserole with
chops. Lemon broiled on fish adds
much to the flavor. but few women
realize that pineapple broiled with
ham, orange slices with lamb and
raisins with beef make plain every
day meats into foods to be cOnjured
with.
Fflet of Beef a In Pompadour
One and one-half pounds tender
loin of beef. 1-2 cup raisins, 1 cup
pineapple cubes. salt and paprika,
4 tablespoons butter.
Trim tenderloin and cut in hlets
two and one-half inches thick. Melt
butter and dip flet in melted butter.
Arrange on a well oiled broiler and
cover each flet with the raisins and
pineapple cubes, using half of them.

utes. TSrn and cover with remain
ing pineapple and raisins and broil
eight minutes. Season with salt
and paprika and put on a hot platter.
Pour drippings from broiler pan

minutes. Skim out fruit and sprin-
kle over meat. Add two tablespoons
Drowned flour to butter and stir till

onion, ga cup diced carrots. IL cup
chopped ham, 1 cup seeded raisins,
4 tablespoons lemon juice. l tea

manning vegetables and ham,.
Add one-half cup boiling water,

vegetables and return meat and
stock to casserole. Add raisins,

The sauce should not be thick

When General Clusters Fighting
Seventh charged down upon Chief
Back Kettles Cheyennes on the
A.'ashita to the tun of "Garryoweii
that cold November morning In 1873,
al his side rode a man whom the III
,iians recognized, and they shouted 10
each other Look out for Red Neck
He's a dead shot !"
Clark played an important part n
Clusters campaigns that year, but his
most valuable services were performed
as @ scout for Gen. Nelson Miles in
the war with the Cheyennes, Arapa-
hoes, Comanches and kiowas in 1874.
His greatest feat was his part In the
rescue of the Germaine sisters, two
little white girls who had been cap
tured when their parents were MUIR
dered by raiding C~heyennes in their
Kansas home.
Two of the girls, Adelaide and Julia
Germaine, We're recaptured from the
Cheyennes when Lieut.. Frank Bald
win struck the camp of Chief Gray
Beard so suddenly that the Indians
had no chance to kill their prisoners,
as they usually did. The girls in
formed General Miles hat W of
their sisters, Catherine and Sophia
Germaine, still were held by another
band Of the Cheyennes.
Ben Clark Immediately set out to
discover where they were. After a
long search he found that they were
in the camp of Chief Stone Calf. Gen
eral Miles secured a photograph OF
Julia and Adelaide and on the back
of 1t he wrote a message TO the other
sisters telling them that every effort
was being made to rescue them. He
gave this message to a friendly In
dian who visited Stone Calls camp
and, unobserved by the Indians,
slipped it into the hand of one of the
girls.
The general next sent a message
to Stone Calf, demanding his surren-
der and telling him that no mercy
would be shown his warriors unless
the Germaine girls were brought to
the nearest army post alive and I'M
harmed. In a short time Stone Calf
came in to the Cheyenne agency, sur
rendered his white captives and all
four sisters were reunited. Bel
Clark's scouting had not Deer In vain.
When the Cheyennes were finally
subdued, Clark settled down at Fort
Reno, Okla, with them. He became
their interpreter In all their dealings
| with the white men. and the Chez
| ennes came to honor "Red Neck" as
much as they had feared him VII il
he was fighting against them. Later
he was custodian >of old Fort Reno
and when he died a few years ago,
after more than 80 years in the gov
eminent service, his passing vas

After retiring from the postoffce he was made City Treasurer.
He was filling that office when the death of Freebooter John p Ash

elected. His present term on the Board of Freehoders will expire
this year. He is a candidate for reelection this fall for a full term
as Freebooter, and SO far there has been no talk of any opposition
to his candidacy.
Freebooter Willis is a native born citizen. He was born in the
old Smiths Landing section of the city and resided there for many
years. Later when Verona avenue was opened up and made the
Boulevard to Atlantic City he purchased a fine property on that ave-
nue. and lives in one of. the finest residences IN that street. He has
conducted a business on Main street for many years and has been
very successful as a business man. He is a banker, being connected
with the directorate of the Pleasantville Trust Company. He is also
connected with Building and Loan Association work, and is a Director
and Vice president of the Workingmens Building and Loan Associa-
ton.
He is also a member of the Atlantic County Game Preserve, a
company of sportsmen who maintain beautiful hunting grounds and
a splendid lodge at Estelville. Freebooter Willis is one of the fellows
who has helped make Pleasantvnle the husting city it is today.
Being a busy business man, he has also found time to give the city his
services in public office and at the same time give attention to those
things in life which make it worth the living. He has enjoyed him
self as well as conducting business both of a private nd~public
nature. 1t only goes to prove the oft repeated saying, 1T takes the
busy man to accomplish things and give results"
