AID AND HEAT

the New Ei kers' AssoCia- tion, gave 1t ,inion that the price of br have to be advanced il lity with the increased cost Of wheat and flour.
 All the leading bakers, 1t appears, act as one in such a situation; and though 1t is regrettable that such staple of life as bread Is advanced in price, one cannot expect the bakers to pay materially more for flour, cornstarch, milk and other in- gredients except sugar - and continue selling the product at the same old figure. It can readily be understood that bakers are no phianthropists, and nobody ex- poets them to operate their plants for their health.
 Yet one cannot help observing in this, as in many other things of popular consumption, that when raw material advances prices of the finished product go up quickly; but when there Is a fall in prices for raw materials a commensurate fall in the price of finished products usually does not come so quickly. The price of bread and the per centages of profit going to every one from farmer to consumer has been the object of a careful analy- sis by the Department of Agricul- ture. The cost of bread in Washing ton was taken as an example. There may be no marked difference in the bread situatisn in Washington as compared with other seaboard cities. The figures are comparative, between 1913 and 1923, and were as follows, based on 1G-ounce loaf:
 1913 1923 Wheat growers portion

NO EVIDENCE OF
ILLEGAL SALES OF
CANNED HEAT" HERE

There have been no complaints re-
garding the sale Of canned heat" for
beverage purposes In Kennebec coun-
ty, and there has as yet been little
evidence that that commodity was to
any extent being bought for purposes
of tipping" was the statement of
County Attorney Frank f. Southland
Wednesday when interviewed concern
ing the possibility of action by the
county authorities for the suppression
of the sale OF the concentrated alco-
hol product.
at is significant that several of the
Augusta stores which formerly carried
the canned heat in stock have vol
unfairly removed it from their shelves,
not wishing to handle an article
about which there may be any reason
for doubt as to the intent for which II
was purchased.
IT asked a local druggist yesterday
il he handled the commodity, and he
replied without hesitation. Yes. sir L
have a two dozen carton shipment In
the store now which I am returning
to the wholesaler today"
So far as this city is concerned, the
municipal court proceedings fail TO
reveal hardly q case of a respondent
arraigned for intoxication where the
cause Of his inebriation could be
traced to drinking the liquid which rs
pressed out Of the waxy concentrated
heating substance.
City Marshal w. J. Skehan when
asked regarding the attitude of the To-
cal police department, stated that there
we're two local drug stores which the
authorities had reason to believe were
dispensing a considerable quantity or
canned heat" but that until the re-
cent test case in Portland and the rui-
ing Of the presiding judge, there had
been no basis for action against the
dealers. Marshal Skehan intimated
that the local authorities were await
ing some definite ruling by the federal
enforcement officers which might clari-
fly the status of the product which is
under fire.

THE HEALTH NURSES WORK

Something of the extent to which
mothers are dependent upon the
Public Health Nurse for medical at
tention and advice as to the care
and treatment of their young chill
dren. and something of the nature of
the calls upon her services each day.
may be learned from the record of
an average days work by Miss Jen
ME Ballantyne, the Augusta Public
Health nurse.
The first case after leaving the Of
flee is giving nursing care to a
mother and a new baby in the North
End. While giving medical atten-
ton, advice and explanation regard
ing the baby's feeding and her diet,
general attention to the family Is
given.
Almost across the street call is
made to see baby who is mem

weight. The home is clean but the
baby is covered with many blankets
and is behind the kitchen stove. The
nurse gives special advice in regard
to fresh air for the five months old
child and the usual instructions.
The next call is to baby whose
mother promised at previous visit

out If any special care is required by
the nurse. She learns that the at
| tending physician wishes her to see
the baby regularly and to keep the
mother advised and encouraged and
| to watch the condition closely. The
| doctor is to call again within a few
days.
From that home the nurse goes to
see a woman, mother of seven chill
| dren, who is anXiously waiting to be
advised Of her admittance to one of
| the State sanatoria. That care will
probably result in complete cure
| for the woman. Her doctor had dis
covered her condition early and with
tho Public Health nurse made ar
engagements for sanatorium care. In
the meantime she is taught how to
care for herself and what she should
do to protect the other members of
her family. All of the children and
the father received physical exami-
! nations at the Association Tubercu-
losis Clinic. The little girl five
years old, has a tooth ache and is
most delighted to take a ride with
the nurse to see the dentist, where
she loses an abcessed tooth.
In the morning a call had come
from new mother. reporting that
her three weeks old baby had not
gained since it was born, so a call
at the home on the east side of the
river reveals a very much worried
mother After some questioning in
order to arrive at a proper diagno-
sis as the case Is a new one to the
nurse, the physician is called and
suggestions are given by him con-
corning feelings and formula. The
nurse gives routine advice and prom
Uses to return for q demonstration
OF the preparation Of the new for
mula.
Directly after lunch the nurse re-
turns to the home on the east side
of the river to give the promised
demonstration, and then a visit is
made to a family which consists of
father, mother. grand father and
eight children. AS this family is
obviously in need of much health
instruction, some time is spent there.
In the course of the visit 1t Is dis
covered that the mother cannot take
the younger children out because
they have no shoes, so the nurse
stopped at her office and made ar
rangements with the Benevolent So
ciety TO supply the needed footwear.
While at her Office the nurse re-
ceives Il call to see little boy who
is i'll in bed. The physician had not
been called in. so after hearing most
suspicious symptoms, the doctor is
called and after arriving and making
a diagnosis of the case finds that an
immediate operation at the hospital
is necessary Admission to that in
stitution is arranged for and the lad
taken there by the nurse.
IN Tim nGfnn
three well babes are visited and
heir care and feeding supervised.
\ last call for the day Is one to
mother whose little boy is at the
4,hildren's Hospital. Word that he
is improving and Is soon to have the
cast removed from the crippled limb
is given to the mother, which makes
her most happy.
Such is an average day in the
work of the Augusta Public Health
nurse. 4
