Nursing care visits, 1872
Welfare visits, 1852
Miscellaneous visits, 2S3
Office interviews, 32
Visits to schools, 151
Total, 1850
Fees collected, $205.4O

Metropolitan Life In
surance Co., 131.2O
$336.60
Number of individual school chill
dren, inspected, weighed and meas
ured, 1924.
Number of classroom inspections
of school children, 1888.
Number of baby conferences
held. %.
Number of home hygiene and care
of sick classes at high school, 81.
Number of home hygiene and care
of sick certificates given, 21.
Welfare visits are those where
advice, but no care, is given. I'm
der this heading is included visits to
tuberculosis patients, infants, pre-
school children, school children and
prenatal visits.
Miscellaneous visits cover numer-
Gus things, such as visits to doc
tor in regard to a patient or work
in general, visits to committee men,
bers, school superintendent, teach
ers, club members, ETC., in regard to
general activities.
The nursing service covers a wide
range of public health work, the
aim being to stress preventative care
as we'll as care for those actually Ill.
Corrections of defects in the
school children this fall are on the
increase, showing that parents are
more and more realizing the I'M
portance of giving the child fair
chance toward gaining health and
knowledge.
Home hygiene and care Of sick
classes in the high school are op-
tional to freshmen and sophomore
girls. In 1925, the enrolment was
thirty-two, twenty-one of whom nm
ished the course and received GER
tificates from the American National
Red Cross. This course teaches the
girls to be able to give simple and
effective first aid, to be able to wash
and dress a baby and give 1t some
intelligent care, and to be able to
assist in the care of a person Ill In
the home, using simple home and
improved apparatus to the best ad-
vantage.
There being no local organization
to attend to such matters, the nurse
is sometimes called upon to visit
people to obtain information, give
messages, ETC., for the Portland or
Bangor Associated Charities organ
izations.
No material aid is given out by
the nurse in any case. She Co
operates with the Civic League and
the home service chairman, but does
not dispense clothing, etc., herself.
Several talks have been given TO
clubs and associations on the differ
ent phases of public health work
i'm general, as being carried out
in Ellsworth.
| wish to thank the committee
members of the Ellsworth branch,
American Red Cross, the doctors,
dentists, teachers and others VINO
have so kindly co-operated with me
this past year to carry out my part
of the service.
Respectfully submitted,
Bertha M. Smith.

swindles. Authorities throughout
the United States are constantly
uncovering the activities of gangs
of swindlers.
Were It not for the splendid
public service rendered by the
press in exposing these criminals,
the sums of money lost through
get-rich-quick investments would be
far greater than even now Is the
case.
1t is amazing that persons gen.
orally well-informed and capable of
understanding business problems
should be so gullible in these mat
tiers and so ready to risk funds on
enterprises that bear the mark OF
fraud as clearly as the printed page
of book
The one simple lesson all should
bear in mind is that the legitimate
earning power of capital is limited.
Now and then money will yield
very large income. But these in
stances are always exceptional.
Those who go in for them assume
risks that are not in keeping with
ordinary common sense. p
You cannot afford to jeopardize
your hard-earned savings in order

More Authority Needed

millions of Americans parents are
willingly trading the experience of
the ages for a glittering new theory
about the training of children" says
William Frederick Bigelow in an edi-
torial in October Good Housekeeping.
Don't make them obey; persuade
them is the motto that hangs on the
wall where Spare the rod and spoil
the child used to be. Not that a
literal Interpretation of the old les
son is to be recommended; but the
spirit of it should be the guide for
every parent.
The present juvenile delinquency
must be met with more authority,
not less and if it must be arbitrary,

Too-Early Stocking
Cuts Pasture Yield

The safest plan for the farmer to
follow is to wait until he is fully sat-
isfied that pastures are ready and
then wait 10 or Is days longer before
turning his cattle on them. This is
the advice of Prof. F. w. Atkeson,
Idaho University dairy husbandman
with high winters feed bill al
ready piled up and the pastures turn
ing green it is a strong temptation
for some and common practice on
the part of others to turn COWS out to
pacture as early as possible in order
to cut down on the amount of dry
feed necessary" Professor Atkeson
says. "Partly because of this many
pastures in Idaho are not yielding
what they should in number of COW
days throughout the pasture season.
1.-TWO factors affect the amount of
pasture obtained per acre. They are
turning in too early and overstocking
1t is not difficult to realize that if pas
ture is allowed to get four or five
inches high there will be enough left
surface to produce more growth per
acre each day than where the pasture
is kept cropped down to one or two
inches in height In other words, the
more pasture you have today the
more pasture you'll have tomorrow,
comparatively speaking.
Money will be saved in the long
run if cattle are kept off pasture until
it has made a big growth"
