QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Do You Want To Study Nursing

I. W. writes ''Is it necessary for person that wishes to enter a nurses school to have high school education :? If so, why? Surely not all the subjects of high school would be of use to a trained nurse. What books would you advise for persons who is not yet ready to enter a nurses school, but wishes to study while waiting?
 Answer.-To make good nurse one must have an alert understanding mind, good judgment, and sufficient knowl- edge of the sound, fundamentals in which a professional education can be built.

Rose of the cost of feeding one child.
 A boy of five requires 1,5O0 cal ories per day, and it costs $110 per year to give them to him. At ten he needs 2,300 calories per day at a cost of $170, and at 15 years he has to have $500 colories per day at a cost of $250.
 The girl will require a little less, but even her figures run at five, ten and fiften years to 1,400 colories at $10O; 1900 colories at $13O, and 2,SOO calories at $200. One wonders how the balance under the income allowance is to cover all the other things that the child needs.

Jealous Friends Serious Trial
 Sometimes
By SOPHIE IRENE LOEB

 A WOMAN friend of mine had to A give up the friendship of many
 years because of jealousy. It seems that my friends husband has been very fortunate in business and they have just bought new home Tn the country where they intend to take the children.
 They are prosperous, charming and happy family. These old friends of A theirs whom they invited as the first to visit their new place showed a spirit of jealousy and disinterest which my friend felt very keenly.
 ] It seems that this other family has not succeeded so well and are rather resentful of the fact that they have so \ little in comparison.
 l do not think this woman made q mistake in giving up such friends. no matter of how iong standing. Good friends fall out for various reasons and sometimes a great loss is experienced by both. Some foolhardy mistake is made or some unkind words are said that cause the break.
 But for jealous friends-thoss who covet what you have-there is no hope or remedy. The thing to do is to let them go. After all, great friend is he who is with you whether you are up or down.
 In other words. the only friendship worth while is the kind where your friend is happy with you when you are happy and glories in your success and welfare. He sympathizeS with you when you are sad and sorrowful.
 When he shows disposition to be a death 's-head at your feast you may be sure he would destroy you if he could. The way to treat a jealous friend is give him absent treatment.
 The minute you have the feeling that he or she is against you when you are going forward is the time to let him go.
 In the first place, it makes you feel badly to continue such a relationship, for it takes away from your pleasure and besides such one does you more harm than good both in spirit and in thought.
 How foolish people are to be jealous anyway. When they permit the green eyed monster to enter their makeup they are encouraging a thing that will make them grabbed and old and dis agreeable and somebody to be summed. You can kill this trait if you try. ! If people would only stop to reason that there is such a short span of life and that grieving about what your friend has or gains cannot hurt your friend except in the loss of you, but does create great deal of harm to yourself.
 The way to crush this most terrible of all human feelings is to make your self look at the nicer and better side of everything. It is better to cultivate spirit of friendliness toward your friends success.
 It is better to give him the comfort of your approval. The very act of doing it might help you stifle your jealous feelings. They can be killed.
 It is within each person to do it himself. Jealousy never got anybody anything but heartache and misery and loss of friends and acquaintances.

SCENERY BUSINESS ASSET
Americans Losers In Destruction O. Beauty By Progress"

Americans Losers In Destruction Of ] Beauty By Progress"
 Scenery is a business asset. If we don't know that simple fact we can dis cover it's validity by Investigating the histories of such countries as Switzer- land and Norway and Scotland, and lven England, Germany and France. In Germany there is a medival town named Rothenburg, where. if a house falls down or has to be pulled down. it must be rebuilt exactly as it was; in France there is town named Car eassene where similar law obtains. But in America we are subject to curious lack of logic which makes us buy motor cars to see scenery and then permit the destruction of the very scenery we have bought motor cars to see. And we call this progress. We post our roads with signs so that we can't see the fields, we give no thought to the ugliness of our towns, we cut down our forests, and we pollute our streams. Perhaps when we die we go to Heaven, which is a beautiful place. All right, that is fine, but in the mean time, and in these moderon days. only fanatic will refuse to admit that in the short span of days granted us on this earth we are fools if we do not sur round ourselves with all the natural loveliness we can. And remember this, the earth is a lovely place unntil men enters it, and it can still be n lovely place even after man enters it if he will use a little common sense.

.COURTSHIP DAYS
By BETTY VINCENT


 Dear Miss Vincent 1 am a girl of IS and recently met a man seven years my senior. Now this man shows that he cares great deal for me. He is not considered good looking, but he is good worker and think he would make a happy home. Since he had gone back to his home town he has written to me. Please give me some advice, and would 1t be proper for me to write to him! WONDERING" : The whole matter of whether you wish to write to him and encourage the courtship rests with yourself. Do you love this man? The fact that you ap- preciate his being a good worker and think he would make a happy home rather points to the conclusion that you wish to marry and have your own home. Eighteen and 25 sounds like a good match, but the matter all rests with you and Dan Cupid. What docs your own hear tell you?
 | Dear Miss Vincent: There is a young man who sometimes shows me attention, but who is literally breaking my heart. He has escorted me home from parties several times. He also goes with another girl and seems to pay more attention to her than he does to me. She knows 1 care q great deal for him and she influences him to take her any place where she thinks l am likely to be. This hurst me greatly and 1 often cry myself to sleep over him. l am under a physicians care and he con stantly tells my mother that there is something to make me nervous. Before | met this young man 1 was cOnsid- cred very sweet, but now everything seems to irritate me. Is there any way I could gain the affections of this man which the other girl seems to have? I would like you to understand, Miss Vincent, that he doesn't care for this girl, but is just going with her because she is popular and modern.
 "INIPATIENT."
 I am sorry to say it, but you are suffering from just plain "green-eyed jealosy." No doctor can help you while vou continue to feel this way about hthe other girl" Now, all is fair in love and war and what ou really want to do is to test the thing out for your self. am certain you would not feel this way about the young man if you knew he really cared for the other girl. Invite him to your home to a little card or nah jong party for four, and do not Invite the other girl. If this man really cares for you more than he does for her he will pay his party call and from then On you ought to be able to tell how he ieels toward you.

Someone In Portland Club Rehuinaa Senator By Turning His Picture

 Senator By Turning His Picture
 A novel form of rebuke to congress sional representatives who have re- fused to fall fin line with the view of President Coolidge on certain national issues has taken place in the Portland, Me, club, members of which are promi- nent in political and business circles. Members were astonished recently when they entered the spacious halls of the club, where portraits of the s.fas vorite sons' have been hun, to not4 that the likeness of Senator Halekhad been turned to the wall.
 The wagging of tongueShad gcarce- ly subsided when new comment was aroused at the sight of only the reverse side of frame where the portrait of Carroll l.. Beedy, representative of the First district, formerly hung on the wall.
 This is the way the Maine repub- licans brought retribution to those members of the congressional delega- tion who refused to sustain the Presi- dents veto of the bonus bill.
 And over all is a pail of silence, broken only by the statement of Theo- dore H. Johnson, president of the club, that the turning of the pictures was not sanctioned by official consent. In fact, no one will admit the responsi-l bility. s

CLEANING UP, HOOKWORM
 INFECTION

In 1910 to 1915 hookworm campaigns were conducted by state boards of health in eleven southern states. It was found that the highest infection rate was among rural school children between 6 and IS years of age. Special figurs were collected for three ages in 422 counties. Now Dr. w. r. Jacocks has made a new survey of S1 of the 422 counties to see if conditions had improved by 1923. A minimum of 500 school children has been examined in each county:
 In the original survey S9,S57 chil- dren were examined in the S1 coun- ties, and of these 49.471 were infected with hookworm, a rate of 55.1 per cent. In the 1923 surveys, 44,090 children were examined, of whom 12,236 were infected, giving a rate of 27.S per cent.
 The investigator points out that while this result is gratifying, the improvement has probably been still greater, because the survey merely in- dicates the rate of infection and not necessarily the severity. The infections found at present are very slight as com pared with the heavy infestation seen previously.
 Credit is given to the intensive treat ment undertaken and to educa tional work in sanitat tion.
 The state included in the survey were Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississip- pi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Tennes- see and Kentucky.

quire graduation from high school or the equivalent as minimum entrance requirement.. More and more college women are entering nursing schools in recent years, and even the brightest feel that they need all the resources that college education gives.
 To quote from the report of the Committee for the Study of Nursing Education, ''In many states the only educational requirement. for schools of nursing is completion of one year of high school. This means that the stu dent is too ignorant to grasp the es- sentials of training. Schooling which has ceased at IA or 15 years is no preparation for a. professional training and, as shown in our studies of nurses in the field, fatally handicaps their fu- ture usefulness of success. Completion of four years of high school should be the minimum entrance requirement"
 Subjects which will prove of especial value to the prospective nurse are bio logy, hygiene, chemistry, household science (including cookery, nutrition and housekeeping), sociology and eco monies. Arithmetic is necessary. A good foundation in English and history is essential. Modern languages are of considerable service in the hospital wards and subsequent social work. Text books used in the high schools on the above subjects would be valuable for study.

Dental Bridges

E. S. J. writes: Please advise me which is preferable removable den tai bridge or a stationary one. The bridge is to extend from the lower right bicuspid to the second molar. The second fnolar has large amalgam fill ing. The first molar, the third molar, and the second bicuspid are missing. All of the teeth are soft and brittle.'
 Answer.-There are so many ques- tions to be considered, that it is not practical to state whether a removable or stationary dental bridge is pre- ferable. The condition of the mouth as to immunity to tooth decay; the age of the patient, the habit of the patient in month hygiene and the condition of the tissues supporting the abutment teeth, must all be taken into considera- ton.
 There is much difference of opinion in the dental profession as to the ad- vantages of the two types of bridges, some men putting in nearly 100 per cent of removable bridges, others as high percentage of fixed bridges.

Tetany

I6bdny
 Mrs. D. NJ. V. asks: "Can I get any information concerning disease call ed tetany? I have son 26 years old who has had this disease since his thirteenth year. He has had advice from number of doctors. Two years ago we found one doctor who called the disease tetany and gave him treat ment. He is improving. This doctor has since left the state."
 Answer.-Tetany Is condition in which there is an increased excitability of the nerve-muscle apparatus, mani festing itself chiefly by spasms.
 Tetany may be found at all ages. It is often seen in children and is ire quently associated with rickets. It also is found accompanying other condi- tions, such as acute infections, preg- nancy and disturbances of the stomach and bowel. Other cases exist in which it is difficult to find the cause.
 Much evidence that exists suggests that the parathyroid glands are at fault
 From our present knowledge it seems safe to conclude that in most cases of tetany there is a disturbance of either

the mineral or nitrogen metabolism, probably both. (By metabolism is meant the chemical changes which are constantly going on inside the body.) Along with this disease of the para thyroid glands may be the cause. Treat ment of this condition would seem to be chiefly matter of diet, the adminis- tration of calcium Cline saits), and possibly an attempt to correct any parathyroid deficiency. The prescrib- ing should, of course, be done by the doctor in charge of the case.

CHICAGO LABOR FIGHTS TO HALT CASTE
 SYSTEM PROPOSED BY EMPLOYERS FOR SCHOOLS OF NATION

cago labor has waged, the will of cer- tain influential commercial and hnan- cia1 interests has prevailed, and the board of education has decided to go ahead with its plans regardless of all protests, even ignoring the almost unanimous adverse opinion of the Chicago City Council and of some of the most famous educators in America.
 The executive board of the Chicago Federation of Labor has analysed the situation in a 5,0O0-word report sub mitted to the local central body, which body has authorized the execu- tive board to raise money to defray the expenses of a public speaking campaign and for the printing and distribution of literature.

Plan to Curb Non-Elective Upper House Meets Opposition
 of Reactionaries.

Ottawa, Aug 9.-Reference was made last week to the declaration of the prime minister. Rt. Hon. w. L. Mackenzie-King, with regard to pro- posed legislation to curb the power of the Senate. Since then the proposal has received considerable attention in Canada and already the ''brass check press is pooh-poohing the idea. Party politics do not enter into the question so far as the labor movement in Canada is concerned. One of the blanks in the platform of principles of the Trades and Labor Congress of Canada calls for the abolition of all n-e1ective bodies.
 Obstacles are already being present ed. The provinces are very jealous of their rights and the attorney general of Ontario has intimated that tfla. great industrial province will contest the move.
 In the meantime, there is some talk of general election in Canada and the reform of the Senate and the Canadian National Railways branch lines will give the government cloak behind which 1t can hide the tariff is sue, which is not at all popular in industrial centers.

 Chicago, Aug. 9-Denouncing the action of the Chicago board of educa- tion Ill adopting the platoon system, junior highs and intelligence tests as an attempt to inaugurate the Hindu Caste system in the Chicago public schools, the Chicago Federation of La Dor has declared unrelenting warfare upon the new departure, which is a postwar development that is threat ening the entire school system of the United States. An attempt was made to introduce these features into this country about Is years ago, but met so little encouragement then that the ideas were. abandoned until after the close of the World War.
