HEALTH NURSES OF STATE
ACTIVE AGAINST DISEASE
Fifty-One Were On Duty in the
Counties During the Year 1880

When you catch glimpse of the
public health nurse as she starts out
on her days work, just remember that
there are fifty more working in the
counties of Maryland, as she is do
ing, for the prevention of disease and
the promotion of health among young
and old.
Some idea of the many sided activ-
tiles of the group whose service uni
form has become a familiar sight in
every section of the State, may be
gathered from a recent report from
the State Department of Health
showing that fifty-one nurses were on
duty in the counties last year.
Every county has one or more. Nine
had one each; eight had two; four had
! three, and two-Allegany and Balti-
more-had seven each. Baltimore
county started the year with four and
added three in the early fall. In
cluded in the total were two colored
nurses, who were engaged in work
among their own race.
The nursing work in each section
is carried on under the direction of
the County Health Officer and is adap-
ted to the needs of that particular dis
trict. During the yeaf the ffty-one
nurses made a total of 56,019 visits,
an average of over thousand visits
for each nurse. Their activities took
them into 26,786 homes. They as
sisted the health officers and examin-
| ing physicians at clinics or health con-
ferences for persons suffering from,
or who had been in contact with tuber-
culosis; for mothers and young chill
dren; for crippled children; for chill
dren needing dental care; for mental
cases and for venereal diseases.
The nurses also assisted the heal III
officers in diphtheria immunizatic:l
clinics; in the administration of ty-
phoid vaccine, and in the medical OK
animation of school children and the
control of communicable diseases N
the schools. The number Of children
examined was 69,156, and of the total
24,7O1 were found to have some con-
dition requiring correction. Many
of the visits to homes were
made by the nurses in connection
with this work of the schools. They
also gave instruction in the home care
of the sick to 129 groups of women
and young girls in high schools and
at health centers, and aided local COM
munities in arranging celebrations of
Child Health Day and of Negro Health
Week.

Federal Farm Board to Aid
Drought Areas

In response to numerous requests
that assistance be given in meeting
the requirements for food and cloth
ing in the drought-stricken commune
ties, the Federal Farm Board announ-
ced Monday that it is ready and will
ing to make available Immediately
any quantities of sterilization wheat
and cotton that may be needed.
While under the Agricultural Mar
keting Act such supplies cannot be
donated, the Board will cause the Sta
bilization Corporation to furnish their
commodities to any responsible unit
of Government or to the American
Red Cross upon easy terms, which
will enable these agencies to promptly
alleviate distress.
The Board is aware that wheat and
cotton are not adequate to meet the
situation, but these products can
readily be exchanged for the pro-
cessed commodities that are derived
from grain and cotton. The Stabili-
cation Corporation will render every
assistance in effectively carrying out
the proposal here made.

MAYOR MAKES
MOTHERS DAY
PROCLAMATION

Whereas. the second Sunday in
May is nationally designated as
Mothers Day and set apart for
tribute to the loyalty and devotion
Of motherhood throughout the ages;
and
Whereas, the observance of Moth
er's Day heretofore has not taken
any form of practical service to
motherhood; and
Whereas, it Is known that In the
United States the lives of thousands
of mothers are yearly sacrificed
needlessly, through lack of proper
medical advice and guidance dur
ing the months previous to child
birth; and
Whereas, we have in our city and
should avail ourselves of them. such
organizations and facilities as make
possible the care necessary to the
safeguarding of our motherhood;
Therefore, I, your mayor, do urge
that we, the citizens of this COM
munity, do everything in our power
to encourage, develop and sustain
these services and to make more
generally known the need of and
opportunities for providing every ex-
pectant mother with adequate care
from the very beginning until the
baby is six weeks old: and I do ap-
point as my deputy the health Off
Ger of this city to furnish on request,
information as to such available ia
cilities-in order that we as a COM
munity may truly honor motherhood
by cherishing and preserving the
mothers among us to the very best
of our combined ability.

chemist of international reputa-
ton, "can grapefruit be found which
has SO high potassium content as
that grown in Imperial Valley. Po-
tassium is an element which pro-
vides the renewing and the cell
building properties which the hu-
man body demands. Imperial Val
ley grapefruit juice is higher in po-
tassium and in nourishment than
is orange juice. This is because po-
tassium is present in Imperial Val

tom of the sea-"
DR.. Tilburne believes that with
proper advertising concerning their
high potassium content the Impe-
rial Valley canned grapefruit and
grapefruit juice will meet with in
slant success and fill a great need
The healthfulness of grapefruit, and
particularly desert grown grape
fruit, has long been realized and
