After all, what is satisfaction, or

Health; Home Hygiene and
Nutrition Featured.

The increasing appreciation by the
American people of the value Of ma
tional health structure is reflected in
the comprehensive machinery built I'D
by the American Red Cross and kept
in constant operation in the past year,
in the interest of national health.
Instruction in home hygiene and
care Of the sick, in nutrition; inspec-
ton Of school children, the mainte-
nance of an effective nursing service,
all formed part Of the Red Cross orr
ganization assisting in keeping Amer

Altogether 51,121 students were in

The years work also demonstrated
q growing understanding and appre-
citation on the part of Red Cross field
representatives, chapters, cooperating
agencies and others, Of the place Of
nutrition in community programs,

There were $500 dIetitians enrolled
during the year; regular nutrition in
struction reached 13S,O65 children
2O,359 adults attended nutrition meet
tngs, while 1885 schools were aided
in furnishing lunches.
Cooperative relationships were es.
tablished with various Government
and educational agencies in making
this branch Of the Red Cross health
work more effective.
Another Of the bealth-promoting &C
tivities Of the Red Cross lies in its
public health nursing service. There
are nearly 1000 such nurses serving
in every part Of the country.
AS an Invaluable reservoir in time
q a great national emergency, there

Mrs. Dorothy Devils Sleichter a Red
Cross public health nurse stationed at
Fairbanks, Alaska, in checking a flu
epidemic at Fort Yukon, in the Az cite,
has won praise from all who knew
Of it.
It Is to assist in maintaining such
valuable services to the community
that the American Red Cross invites
members during it's ninth annual roll
call, November II to 26, the only such
appeal which the Red Cross makes in
the year.

WHAT DO ! CARE WHAT PEOPLE
THINK?

Dear Miss Flo--I am young girl
of twenty--not bad looking consid,
cred quite clever, am well educated,
but extremely unpopular, which, when
| considered my good points, was al
ways quite mystery to me, and ]
was quite curious as to the reason,
learned why the other day, and be
lieve me, l never received such a sur
prise in my life. It's because I'm hon.
est, because | tell the truth, because
l don't pretend to be other than ]
am. You see, really don't care rap
for any of the silly conventions that
surround everyday life. | want to be
myself, and I'm going to be if the
result is not one friend in the world
Why should worry about what other
people think? Belts.
I'm afraid, Belts, that | can't offer
you help, because I'm sure that your
attitude is "all wrong" Nobody ever
got far by assuming such an indif
ferent attitude toward the opinions
of other people. It's selfish way to
view life, and q view that cannot
bring much happiness. Frankly,
think you are little rebel because
l happen to know another girl with
just about the same views-and if
there were ever rebel she ie it.
Her point of view is such thai she
sees red frequently. Intellectually she
is radical Politely she is progras-
sive and independent. She likes some
socialists simply because they are
symbols of political unconventibna-
lism. She was one of the first girls to
bob her hair AT that time it was con
sidered daring and unconventional
thing to do. She smokes cigarettes
anywhere she wants to-shei reads
Russian literature. She is cruelty
tactless, because, she says, she hates
hypocrisy, and in her opinion tact is
a compromise between the truth and
a graceful lie.
And she is friendless because no.
body can stand her sharp, biting ton
que. They are afraid her, and her
superior airs, SO they stay away. She
makes acquaintances, because there
is something rather likeable about her
despite her beligerence. But inevitab,
ly she detects some imperfection in
them which destroys her confidence
and enrages her, and she proceeds to
try to reform them. Thereupon, the
friends disappear and soon forget
her.
And what does the person who is
without friends get out of life ?Noth-

About Jour
Health
Things You Should Know
INFLUENZA.

The onset of influenza is invari-
ably sudden and intensive. There
are no warnings of its approach.
One point, of which we are reason
ably certain is, that the infection
enters the system thru the breath
ing passages During epidemics,
the gargle and nasal DOUGH should
be used freely after all exposure,
as possible preventive. Contact
with suspected cases should be
scrupulously avoided if possible.
Large or small public gatherings,
where dozen or more are cough
ing, are very dangerous, and trav-
cling in over-heated trains that are
usually crowded, often scatters
millions of influential germs.
Weakness is the predominant
symptom-indeed that may be the
only diagnostic syntom. No other
disease prostrates the victim so
thoroughly from its moment of on
set. There is nothing like this
weakness. Sometimes there is fe-
ver-at other times none, or so
little as to escape notice. Active
delirium is common in febrile cas-
es. 1t is in this stage that pneu-
monia usually supervenes, if at all.
Absolute rest in bed is imperative,
and should be resorted to promptly.
Alcohol in diluted form, has prov
en- of inestimable value in the
treatment of influenza, if its use
is carried on until free sweating
occurs. 1t appears to be antago-
nistic to the poison, and is useful
in combating the terrible weak
ness. It should only be used with
the advice and observation of the
physician. Many doubt the effica-
cy of vaccines, though | have found
them of great value in my cases,
and am never without them. Strict
quarantine is a wise measure that
should not be neglected. in locali-
ties where influenza is prevalent.
Good nursing is an essential upon
which too much emphasis cannot be
laid.

WISH TO KEEP OPEN
ARTERIAL HIGHWAYS
Argue Gas Tax Should Give
Enough Revenue TO Remove
Snow During Winter.
Other Interesting Topics as Re-
ported by the st. Paul
Association.

A letter from the st. Paul AS
ISOLATION states that requests
from all sections of the state are
coming to the State Highway De
partment asking that provision
be made for keeping arterial
highways open for traffic
throughout the winter regardless
of the amount of snowfall that
we may have.
The argument is advanced that
the increase in income to the
state from the gasoline tax be-
cause of the additional use of au-
tomobiles in winter will more
than pay for any expense involv-
ed in building snow fences at the
proper places and maintaining
snow-plow service. This reason
ing looks logical because if 100,-
600, or less than one-fifth of the
automobiles in the state, run
1000 miles additional during the
winter months, with the high
ways cleared for traffic, the in
come to the state from the ex-
ira gasoline sold would amount to
$150,000 or more. Figure out
yourself what the result would
be if all cars in the state made a
greater mileage, with the roads
always available for use.
incidentally. it may be noted
that the State Highway Depart
ment is making real progress in
carrying out the road program
authorized by the Legislature.
Income from licenses and the
gasoline tax is at least as much
as that anticipated, while bids
for all kinds of road construction
have been very low in proportion
