Third and last: Remember, also,
and rejoice in the absolute necessity
of your calling. Nursing has come to
stand among the most highly re-
speCted of the professions open to
women. since Florence Nightingale
showed the world what trained
nurse could be and should be almost
hundred years ago. But did You
ever stop to ask the reason? Let me
tell you--if you have not guessed it
already. Just because this difficult,
old world needs nurses-and will al
ways need them so long as there is
accident, disease and death-to help
struggling humanity through life
and on its way to God. our Father.
1t may be that many Of the other
arts will so. but nursing will always
remain.

GRADUATE NURSES
RECEIVE DIPLOMAS
Rev. I. A. Greene Speaks at
Normal School Exercises :.

The principles of science and
sympathy in practice were expound-
I'd to the graduates of the New Brit
am hospital training school for
nurses at the annual graduation eX-
crcises last evening. The exercises
were held in the State Normal
school.
Diplomas were presented to the
nurses by James S. North. president
Of the training school. Glass pins
were presented by Miss Maude L.
Travcr, directress OF nurses. Bou-
Cuets Of flowers were presented 10
the graduates by their friends and
admirers.
The principal address was deliver
ed by Rev. Theodore Ainsworth
Greene. pastor of the First Congrc-
gational church. who took the above
principles at his theme.
He called the attention of the
graduates to the fact that in their
years of training they have learned
many things about life that the
average person does not have the
opportunity 10 learn. He told them
they had watched over the realities
OF things at the beginning and at
the end of life
He said. in part:
And, in all the days of these
three ycars-if your training was
good for anything at all - your
human sympathy and your scient-
iic understanding has been made
efficient. So efficient. let us hope.

touched, when his feeling goes very
deep, he doesn't rant nor become ora
torical; he is silent. When he put down
that letter he walked the length OF MS
Office; then, stopping, said:
Il would like to help that woman.
He wanted to send enough money TO set
her up in little sewing business OF her
own, but he didn't want her TO know
that the help had come from him: ne
thought it would be easier for one Wom-
an to help another woman. He asked
me to be his emissary.
1t was so evident that Mr.. Hoover'S
emotions were more than ordinarily
touched that J asked why this case
appealed to him particularly.
Il am sorry for any woman in trou-
BILE" he said, but l can never turn a
deaf ear to women who sew for a living.
My mother used to sew for so cents
day. l have not forgotten it,
This incident happened in 1923, This
was no manufactured emotion for pollt-
ical material; politics. the presidency,
had not entered the scheme OF things
for him then.
Women take the leaders of their
nations a little more seriously than the
average man takes them. They demand
more. And it is born in women to
desire protection, the protection that
begins first in the home and then
reaches out to the borders of the Nation.
Next to honor, women would barter
most other assets of their nation for
peace. They want prosperity, they want
the respect of the world. and they want
the guns to be silent as long as possible.
They have always associated Hoover in
their minds with the qualities OF cour-
age. with honesty and dignity.
But the outstanding bonds between
them have been the hope of peace and
his faith in women.
These, then, are some of the reasons
why the women of America voted for
Herbert Hoover.

N St. Mother
Has Right Idea

For over so years physicians
have recommended it and moth
ers all over the world have rec
ognized this fine old medicine as
the Standary remedy for those
Ills of childhood, such as bilious
ness, Sallow, "broken-out" skin,
constipation, nervousness, indi-
geStion, feveriShneSS, no appetite
or energy, etc. Children love the
rich, fruity taste of California Fig
Syrup and their whole system
benefits from it's gentle influence.
It quickly purges the child's sys-
tenn of all waste; it regulates the
bowels and stomach, and gives
these organs tone and strength,
so they continue to act normally
of their own accord.
A Washington mother, Mrs. W..
L. Boswell, 1928 N st. NV, says:
my little son, Edward, became
constipated when he was just two
months old. His stomach and
bowels seemed to be weak. Then
we started him on California Fig
Syrup. It regulated him quick.
Soon he began picking up and he
hasn't had a bit of his old trouble
since. He's a strong, healthy boy
now at two years"
Always ask for California Fig
Syrup by the full name to protect
yourself from limitations. All drug
stores have it. Four million bot
ties used a year shows it's popu-
larity.
