verified sentiment of admiration by
lesser transgressors until, in 1914,
through further mistaken exercise of
executive clemency, he was liberated
on parole.
Ono glad welcome was awaiting
Brink when he emerged from the

devoid he was of conception of the

by succeeding events.
Almost Immediately Brink broke pa

An Appeal For
Red Cross Nurse
Snow Hill, Md, Nov. s, 1922.

Snow Hill, Md, Nov. 8, 1922.
TO the Public:
1t is doubted if the people of Wor-
cester County fully realize the i'm
portance of the presence in our midst
of the County Nurse, Miss j. Alice
Wilson, and the benefits to be OBJ
tanned thereby. As representative of
the American Red Cross, Miss Will
sons duties consist in part in rem
dering assistance wherever a nurse
may be needed. Nor should there be
any hesitancy on the part of any one
because of inability to pay. Miss
Wilson says that the standard charge
for nursing visit is fifty cents, but
the person visited may pay what
ever they feel able and if unable to
pay anything, then the visit will be
made just the same without charge
1t must be understood that whatever
moneys are paid for the nursing
visits go to the American Red Cross
and in view of the wonderful work
that this great body did during the
late war and is doing now to alleviate
the sufferings of mankind there
should be liberal contributions where
the financial condition of the person
visited permits.
The County Nurse is established in
her office in the Masonic Temple, over
the Post Office. The office was do
mated rent free, and the furniture
was obtained from various sources
through the kindness of other public
spirited citizens.
1t must not be misinterpreted to
mean that Miss Wilson is not being
kept busy, for the fact is that she
has already made much advance in
the promotion of the County Health
Welfare. There have been establish
ed two classes which are receiving
regular instructions in home n.y.
giene and the care of the sick and
one other is in process of organiza-
ton. In the schools of the county,
Miss Wilson has instituted series
of phyical examinations in which she
examines the eyes, nose, ears, throat
and scalp. She also weighs and
measures the pupils in effort to deter
mine their physical fitness as COM
pared with the normal standard and
if defects are found, then gives such
instruction as may be necessary to
correct that defect, if possible.
