Mothers and Parent-Teacher Associa-
tions and In 1924 1t was shortened to
the present title.
In the early days, Mrs. Fry points
out, there was little literature and no
courses or institutes of instruction on
teacher technique. Today the
functions of the organization are i'm
measurably aided by a worldwide
interest in the science of rearing
children.
Accomplishments Of the association
are legion.
The national congress was pioneer
in the field of parent education, ac-
quiring the services of many specialists
until now there are nearly 5000 study
groups with a membership of around
lao, 900. In the District are 20 study
groups with about $50 members and
10 more groups ready to start.
The congress sponsored the first
international congress on child welfare
and has become a major factor in
perfecting the public school system
and establishing the Home Education
Division of the United States Bureau
of Education Of the Department Of
the Interior.
The national congress Is credited
with the Inauguration OF the move
ment to regulate employment Of chill
dren in mines and factories, culminat-
ing in the passage Of the national
labor law. 1t has been instrumental
in establishing juvenile courts all
over the country and providing deten-
ton homes instead of jails for housing
youthful delinquents.
At the moment the PIT. A. Is
engaged in attempting to cut down
the terrific death toll taken in recent
years among the children of the
Nation by automobiles and Is SPEND
ing $4,000 supplied by the National
Safety Council last Spring In safety
publicity.
Traffic problems of special interest
to parent-teacher members are mark
ing streets approaching schools, con-
trolling automobile traffic at school
crossings, restricting parking at school
curbs, eliminating the hitch-hiker,
improving school transportation and
eliminating the under-age driver. The
organization has been instrumental
| in presenting traffic safety instruction
in schools and in all sorts OF legis-
lation regarding driving licenses, traf-
| fic rules and speed.

OF 1904 saw the group grow into
strong. permanent organization. The
constitution was framed and adopted.
1t was signed by 1877 members, and
the Graduate Nurses Association was
officially incorporated on April Is,
1904.
In the meantime, however. the as
sociation continued to face difficulties
in drafting a registration bill that met
the approval Of the District Commits
sioners and Congress. The first bill,
designed by DR.. Woodward. was read
to the nurses as early as December
Is, 1903, but it contained so many
features that were Objectionable to
them that it was promptly voted
down.
As the nurses continued discussions
with District officials over the registry
bill in the coming years, the associa-
ton applied for membership in the
Nurses Associated Alumnae of the
United States. and was accepted early
in 1905. The Nurses Associated
Alumnae, as a compliment to the new
member, granted the annual conven-
tion that very first year to Washing
ton. Miss Lily Kanely was chosen as
the local delegate.
One Of the principal objections
which the nurses held against the
Woodward bill for registration was
that the appointment of nurses on
the Board of Examiners was left en-
tirely to the Commissioners. The
nurses asked that the association be
permitted to submit list of approved
nurses from whom the selection might
be made DR.. Woodward, however,
refused to yield: and the bill went be-
fore Congress again in 1905, but no
action was taken.
A bill that proved satisfactory to
the nurses, both in the matter of reg
istration and later difficulty which

H0aU Action Of Drugs
rs Tested ON Animals

when such a large part of the peo-
pies diet was coarse bread and
when no precautionary measures
were used to inspect or select the
grain, it was common enough to
use rye which was infected with
this rust. This resulted IN cpl
denies Of ergotism, when the
spasm Of the blood vessels be-
came so pronounced that gangrene
resulted, and toes and even whole
limbs dropped off. The chronicles
of the time are full of accounts OF
epidennics. The disease began with
feeling of GOODNESS in the limb
and then intense burning pains.
Finally the limb became livid and
had to be amputated.
Even long ago the effective use
Of ergot in bleeding after child
birth was known, but it became an
established part of practice follow
ing Stearns' report in 1907. 1t is
evident, however, that if it is to
be relied upon in so important q
crisis, the physician must be sure
Of the potency Of the sample he is
using. The fungus may grow in
different strengths according to
weather conditions and kind OF
grain, and there is no way of
measuring its chemical purity as
one would analyze such a crystal
line drug as magnesium sulphate.
Here is where the rooster comes
In. His comb is mesh Of blood
vessels, and it was long ago OBJ
served that when infected grain
was put out in the barnyard, the
ROSTERS combs lost their rich red
hue and became blue. So the mod
ern pharmacologist can test the
potency of his ergot by injecting
a measured amount into the breast
OF a rooster and watching the
promptness and amount of the
changes. The effect lasts several
hours and then the animal returns
to normal.
Other drugs which must be as
sayed in a similar trying-it-on-the-
dog fashion are digitalis, used In
heart disease; insulin and pituitary
extract.

DON'T SUFFER
FROM CONSTIPATION

Read this letter from VIM. c..
Billings, 1880 10th St., Denver,
Colorado: "When / had eaten a
heavy breakfast, l would feel logy.
After couple of days of this, I
would have to take a laxative.
"One morning I had a dish of
ALL-BRAN. 1t beats any laxative, as
it keeps me in shape every day."
Everybody knows that taking
medicine all the time is an un-
healthy habit. How much better to
end common constipation by enjoy
ing this safe, natural food!
!. Kellogg's ALL-BRAN relieves
common constipation because it
gives the body the "bulk" it needs.
1t absorbs twice it's weight in wa
ter, gently exercises and sponges
the intestines clean.
Try it for a week. If not salts
fled, your money will be refunded
by the Kellogg Company. Two table
spoonfuls daily are usually enough
with every meal in chronic cases.
Serve with milk or fruits. Sold by
all grocers. Made by Kellogg in
