THE DEATH RECORD.
ALFRED JENKINS.

Alfred Jenkins, another old soldier,
who fought with the Union forces of
the Civil War, departed this life at
his home in Friendsville on Tuesday,
March IL, aged 81 years, months
and Is days. In the early days of the
war Mr.. Jenkins, then in the strength
and vigor of young manhood, offered
his services to the government to help
preserve the life of the nation and
during the great struggle he
carried on with his comrades. At the
close of the war he returned to
Friendsville and spent the greater
part of his remaining years there. He
was a good citizen, a good neighbor
and a consistent member of his
church, which was the Christian
church. He is survived by his wife,
two daughters and three sons. The
daughters are married and live at
distance from the old home. while
the sons, Samuel, a farmer residing
in the Cove, Arval, business man of
Friendsville, and William, at home,
remained in their native county. The
funeral services of the deceased were
held in the Christian church with in
terment in the White cemetery, tie
services being conducted by the wri-
ter, A. L. DONACHY.

that Clean Up Week or Clean Up
Day, if appointed during the spring
months, would appeal to the popular
psychology at that particular time.
1t did so, and today such occasions
are observed in thousands of commu-
mites.
The desire for improvement seems
to influence people at this season.
If you asked a man to clean up dis
order around his place in July, he
might evasively postpone the sug-
gestion.
But in the spring some lure of out
of doors, emphasized by the bright
sunshine and soft breezes and cheer
full bird songs, seems to put new
spirit into the heart. The man who
at other times is Indifferent to APP
pearances, will come forth in his over
alls and jumper, prepared for heroic
deeds with rake, spade and bonfire.
This impulse toward industry
should be worked for all it is worth.
A Cleanup Day or Week should be
appointed in every community. The
home folks should all be organized,
as they were in Oakland a few years
ago, into an army of anti-litter work
ers, each family detailed to clean up
its own refuse. Also they should
be induced to add some fresh touch
of beauty to their grounds. Munich
pal authorities are urged to make ar
engagements for a thorough street
cleaning this season. Landlords are
reminded that their houses will rent
better if kept well painted and re-
paired.
An incessant stream of visitors
pass through our town daily and Oak
land as we'll as. other towns along the
travelled highways of the county are
under constant inspection by visit
ors. These folks form impressions,
not so much from superficial appear
ances of prosperity like costly build
ings, as by the degree of neatness
and taste shown in the care and i'm
provement of dwellings, and their i'm
mediate surroundings.
Indications like these reflect the
character of the people who live in
a place. A city that keeps itself
scrubbed and combed, whose homes
show love for beauty, by neat
lawns and pretty flowers, gains a
name for self-respect and culture.
Visitors pass along the word that it's
fine town.

WASHINGTON DID SAY IT AND
MEANT WHAT He SAID.

Golfers Weekly is making quite
point Of the literal fact that the term
"entangling alliances" does not oc-
cur in the text of Washington's Fare
well Address, and is even going so
far as to maintain that Washington
did not intend to-day down any per-
manent foreign polly for this coun-
try, such as a policy of avoiding en-
tangling relations with European or
other countries, in that immortal ad-
dress to the people Of the United
States on September It, 1896.
Each reader of the Address must
judge for himself as to the precise
scope Of Washington's intensions as a
mentor, but each reader must assume
that what Washington did say he re-
ally meant, and so far as that aspect
of foreign policy is concerned which
deals with permanent alliances there
can be no two interpretations 1t is
true that in the Address he did not
join the adjective "entangling" to the
noun alliances" yet it is equally
true that he did warn Americans
against entangling alliances and took
pains to explain that he meant by
that alliances of a permanent char
acter. Witness his words:
"Why, by Intervening our
destiny with that of any part of
Europe, entangle our peace and
prosperity in the tolls of Euro
pean ambition, rivalship, inter-
est, humor or caprice 1t is our
true policy to steer clear of per-
manent alliances with any por-
ton of the foreig nworld;" and
1--WE may safely trust to tempo
rary alliances for extraordinary
emergencies"
What could be clearer? When
Washington said temporary" he
meant temporary" The prospect of
occasional temporary alliances in
time of dire need did not worry him,
because in such ties he saw no men
ace to the destiny" of America, des-
tiny being pretty permanent prop
osition. Neither would he repudiate
existing ties, knowing that in time a
single alliance would die a natural
death, 1t was the future, the whole
general course of Americas foreign
policy that he had in mind when
warning against permanent" al
iances. In short, when he said "per-
manent" he meant permanent" and
Europe's habit of relying on alliances
and counter alliances he knew to spell
permanent course, in which he
would have this country acquire no
part.-Boston Transcript.

Leaders in rural education who at
tended the recent national meeting Of
educators at Cleveland, Ohio. were
apparently unanimous in the opinion
that improved methods of admins

order to have good schools for rural
children and that new sources of rev
enue must be found without increas-
ing the tax-burden of the farmer and
others of the rural communities.

The second essay, below, was writ
ten by Mason W. Calls. aged IS, a
member Of the first year class of fhe
Accident High School:
The success of a county depends
upon the health of its citizens.
One Of the important factors in OBJ
tanning good health is the health
nurse. She is supported by the public
and her services are rendered to the
public.
Some Of the ways which she can
improve the health are by encourag-
ing sanitary habits, advising parents
in the rearing of their children, cor
recting defects in children, saving
the lives Of babies, helping in rural
communities where there is no doc
tor, checking epidemiee, exc.
But all the facts mentfCned in the
previous paragraphs can ne reduced
to the word health" We know the
nurse can improve public health be-
cause she has been tried in other
counties and has proven very success
full. Tha nurse, by the health Of Gar
rett county, gives US many other
gifts.
By improving health she gives US
happiness. Who could be happy when
he is suffering the torture of sickness
or when death is waiting, eager to
take from you some loved one?
Not one of US could.
What seems to interest people most
is the money question in the matter.
The nurse will not take money out of
the county as we may suppose. One
of her gifts will be wealth. BY her
advice we, may save money we would
otherwise pay to the doctor. She will
save many lives-perhaps yours. What
would you take for it? One million
dollars? No! Well, that's consid-
cradle sum. 1t would pay the salary
Of many nurses. Each life has a
money value depending upon earn
ing capacity of 5000 per year. Last
year in Garrett county one hundred
people lost their lives unnecessarily.
This represents a loss of 100000.
Let us picture this situation as a
balance which is swaying over Gar
rett county. On one enc OF the bal
ance we find life and his allies, some
Of which are happiness, prosperity,
health, better government, etc, and
on the other we find death and his al
lies, some of which are sickness, pow
erty, distress, etc. They are each
trying to get on the ground and con-
troll of the county. Death sends sick
ness to steal health from life, then
changes it into sickness and adds it
to her allies. Then deaths end of the
balance touches the ground. Life
sends health to do the same thing
as they sway in q balance.
Then third person appears on the

PRIZE WINNING ESSAYS
On How Public Health Nurses
Can Improve Garrett County


At the time the movement for pub
lie health nurses for Garrett county
was launched an invitation was ex-
tended and prizes offered for the best
essays on the subject assigned: "How
Public Health Nurses Can Improve
Garrett County," the contestants to
be high and grammar school pupils of
the county. The letters or essays
were to be addressed to DR.. J. H.
Mason Knox, of the Maryland State
Board of Health. Of the number re-
ceived by DIR. Knox The Republican
is permitted to print the two essays
appended, these being considered by
the judges of the contest as best and
second prize winners:
The first essay was submitted by
Miss Vera Ream, aged Is years, a
student in the second year class of
the Oakland High School, and is as
follows:
Public health nurses can improve
Garrett county as they are improving
the other counties of the State. They
are serving with greatest satisfaction
to physicians, to various communities
and in many other counties.
There is nothing that will so help
to keep healthy people healthy as to
have trained woman in the county
who can advise the mother, if they
desire it, concerning their health and
that of their children. 1t is many
times cheaper to keep children well
than to care for them after they are
sick.
This nurse will visit the school
buildings in the county to see if they
are sanitary. She will also examine
the pupils to see whether they have
any defects. If they have, she will
give suggestions to their parents and
teacher or will send note to their
parents telling the child's trouble and
what must be done for it.
She will visit the homes also to see
if they are sanitary. If the mother
does not know how to take care of
her own health and that of her chill
dren, she will tell her how. She will
tell her how to clothe her children
and how to feed them so they will not
be undernourished or overnourished.
The public health nurse will be a
great help to the doctors, because she
will carry out their instructions and
bring cases to them that might other
wise be neglected. She will report
the cases at once so the doctor can
help them, for if the cases are neg
lected when first sick the doctor can
do little for them.
She will attempt to answer all
the calls she gets as far as she is
physically able and giving particular
attention to the person who is sick.
She will not neglect the care of the
sick or in making satisfactory a
engagements for them when she fms
them.
If we get a public health nurse in
our county and carry out her instruc-
tons according to health, it will make
our county stronger. The laborer
can accomplish more in a year by be-
ing healthy. A farmer who has health
will be able to cultivate his land in a
more profitable manner, therefore he
can produce better crops.
Garrett county should not be be-
mind in this move, for it Will help our
county so much that we cannot real
lze it until the nurse is here at work.
This county is beautiful and naturally
healthy that with a nurse and the
cooperation Of the people with her
we ought to be the best in tho Sta+o
