TENTATIVE PROGRAM
 FUR DELA|vO NURSE

The recent trip to Unalaska was made by Miss Stella Fuller, the Delano Nurse, for the purpose of studying the health needs of the people living on the Alaska peninsula, the territory chosen for the three year demonstra- ton of public health nursing
 Although the survey was hurried one, it is the opinion of the nurse and the people to the westward, that tuber culosis is the most common disease, and the greatest menace to the lives of the natives and all who come in con tact with them.
 A steady decrease in the number of deaths from tuberculosis has been shown by the careful statistics compil- ed by the National Tuberculosis Asso- citation, several State Tubercular So- cieties and one of the largest Insur- ance companies in the world. This con trol and preyention of the White Plague has been brought about by the assistance of public health nurses, teaching personal hygiene in the schools; visiting parents whose chil- dren are found to have physical de- fects or under-nourished bodies; assist ing the doctors at clinics, following up suspected cases of contacts; urging early treatment of incipient cases ard segregation of advanced cases; en- couraging the maintenance of sanitoria and conducting a general health edu- cational campaign.
 With the assistance of teachers, parents, and public officials, it should be possible to do much along this line through the use of health talks, news paper articles, lantern slides and nov ing pictures, the distribution of health literature, poster contests, health plays and the teaching of home hygiene and care of the sick.
 In connection with the Heath Cam paign work, the nurse will be glad to give nursing care in the homes, un- Ge. the direction of c1ctor IL is 'Ir- Ierstood that there vii be no charge l fot the service but coItli5 IC IS to 'he Red Cross Chapter will De accepted.
 Miss Fuller will be in Seward until the Starr makes the next trip west when she will go to Unga to remain month.

THE WOMAN'S PARTY +?

The Courier it will be remembered
was never very enthusiastic for wo-
mems suffrage; but since we have it,
we might as well go the whole hog"
and put the women on an exact e.
quality with men before the law. The
present Mississippi law as relating to
women, we wish it understood, is in
no way unfair to women. In fact,
they practically have the same rights
as men, There is one feature of the
proposed law which we fear will
create endless confusion, and that is
the one which permits married wo-
man the choice of names-that is,
she may take her husbands name if
she wishes, or she may retain her
maiden name. With this exception,
we see nothing harmful in the pro-
posed measure, and Congressman
Lowrey perhaps expresses the view
of a majority in the following inter-
view
II have read with interest the two
copies which you left me, the equal
rights bill passed by the Wisconsin
legislatures and the blanket bill for
introduction into state legislatures,
am frank to say that l rather like
the Wisconsin bill better = Halle

FERTILIZER PROPAGANDA.

The word propaganda made odious
by the Germans during the late war,
is being made more so possibly to
the people of America by the fertili-
zer trust, or National Fertilizer AS
sociation, Of Philadelphia, who in q
circular addressed to us, attempts to
prove that the cost to produce a ton
Of sulphate of ammonia by the Ford
plan, is $2S per ton more than the
average wholesale price of that che
mical.
1t is not necessary to go into rea-
sons for the trusts fight on Ford's
proposal, for they are plain enough.
They feel their strangle hold on the
farmers of America is threatened if
the Ford project goes through.
Experts must determine if the
Ford proposition is good or bad, and
available evidence is to the effect
that it is good. The farmers evident
ly think so, and as they know what
they want, we are willing to let them
have it.
On most farms fertilizer is as es-
sential as water and sunshine, and If
there is a way to free the farmer
without injury to the government, it
would seem desirable not only for
him, but the consumer as we'll.
Ford's offer is all the more in
teresting by reason of the opposition
to it.-Chronicle-St

STATE TREASURER
IS PAID BY, HENRY
Robertson Demands 20 Per Cent
Commission on $1O,215.25
Turned In.

Jackson, Miss, March 7.--Insur-
ance Commissioner T. M. Henry's
office today obtained from State Au-
ditor w. ]. Miller a receipt warrant
for $10,215.25 and rendered checks
for this sum to State Treasurer MUIR
ray, this being in the nature of set
tlement for funds collected since
State Revenue Agent Stokes Robert
son filed his first two statements
with Mr. Henry. Virtually all of
the above amount was charged "a
gainst the insurance commissioner
by Mr.. Robertson although Mr..
Henry's auditor showed that the
funds had not at that time been
collected by his office.
When the state revenue agent
found that Mr.. Henry would tender
this settlement to the treasurer he
wrote that official a letter in which
he authorized the state treasurer to
receive amount provided you carve
out my 20 per cent commission"
In view Of the fact that the state
revenue agent had charged Insurance
Commissioner Henry with with
holding" this money, which it was
claimed by Mr.. Henry had not, at
that time been collected by his Office
he refused to settle with the state
revenue agent, but took the course
of paying the amount direct into the
state treasury thus saving the state
revenue agent claims.
