1888 ASSIST D
BY VISITING NURSES
Increase in Number of Free
Cases Attributed to
Unemployment.

At a meeting of the Board Of Man
ayers of the Instructive Visiting Nurse
Society yesterday it was reported that
1888 visits were made last month,
9,548 of which were made to patients
unable to pay for the care. This repre-
sented an increase of Ga per cent in the
number of free visits compared with
February of last year.
The recipients of the services num-
bered $500. The increase in the num-
Der of gratis visits was attributed to the
fact that of the 1922 cases unable to
pay for the aid 28 per cent were un-
employed.
The resignation OF Mrs j. Davis
Brodhead was accepted by the society
with resolutions Of regret.
Types Analysed.
An analysis Of the types Of diseases
nurSed show a higher percentage of
respiratory diseases, including pneu-
monia. grippe, bronchitis and similar
disorders always prevalent at this sea-
son Of the year.
In discussing this fact Mark Lans-
burgh said he felt it was important that
an association of the society's type help
safeguard the community by dissent
mating knowledge of what should be
done to avoid and prevent these disor-
ders. 1t was explained that this was
done by the staff in its educational
work by advice given in the home as
to avoiding extra fatigue, the in1por-
tance of early care in bronchitis and
respiratory disorders, and the instruc-
tion Of the family as to methods of
isolation FN~ther discussion brought
out the relationship between poor nour-
ishment among needy families and
lowered resistance to disease.
Mrs. Whitman Cross, who presided
at the meeting, said it was her convic-
ton that medical relief agencies we're
of vital Importance in sustaining the
morale of despondent families, espe-
cially where people were already dis
couraged by lack of work and lowered
incomes.

Back in the World War transport Of

either military or naval service, 1t was
explained, because they were needed
on their own jobs.
Unless the desired legislation Is en-
acted, Secretary Hurley points out, the
Civil Service rules will give preference
to Army and Navy men in adjustments
resulting from a lessened transport

service men will draw the demotions
and the furloughs.
Secretary Hurley said employees OF
the transport service were subjected to
risks equal to or greater than those
encountered by the average military
