Health Ward
Information furnished by Pine County
Nursing Service.

The Public Health Nursing service
has completed two years of Public
Health work beginning this month,
November. 1t is gratifying to learn
that the communities all over the
county have benefited by this service
and now that the work is better or
ganized, it will be easier to help those
to help themselves who are in great
need. We are trying to put the nurs-
ing service before the public as much
as possible and to explain to you
what the nurse does to promote
health, prevent disease and interpret
medical and social factors to the peo-
pie.
There have been requests for classes
or health study groups from some
of the sewing groups about the coun-
ty. This will have to be taken up
later on as it is very important to
complete the school work while the
roads are passable.
Epidemics Prevented.
Two of the outstanding features
of the work is insisting on dental care
and having students eyes properly
fitted to the correct glasses. These
two corrections will be lifetime
benefit. Many epidemics have been
prevented, one of which was small
pox. These epidemics and smallpox
in particular, must be most strictly
observed not only because these dis
eases are serious in themselves, but
because of the serious and often fatal
complications which are apt to de-
velop.
AS the Auxiliary committees are
completed and some have organized
the work, it will be better carried
on by their interest and suggestion.
AS time and circumstances permit,
it is hoped that more expectant moth
ers will be encouraged to ask their
physicians advice during the pre-
natal period.
Within the past week a mother
asked how her two-year old child
should be treated for intestinal flu
or fever. Strictly speaking, there
is no disease which is technically
known as intestinal flu or fever.
Such a child should be given no food
for "a hours. 1t should be kept quiet
with heat applied to limbs and feet.
The physician will diagnose the case
and prescribe the drug treatment.
Another question this week is,
"Does tuberculosis always begin with
a cough?" No. If the respiratory
organs are involved there is usually
a cough as an early symptom, though
it may be absent. In tuberculosis
involvment of other organs cough may
be entirely absent.

IN MEMORIAM

BECKSTROM, CLARA-In loving
memory of our wife and mother
who passed away three years ago
November 6, 1886:
In sorrow we waited day by day
And watched her suffering there;
Slowly but surely passing away
From the pain she scarce could
bear,
And then God called from His throne
above;
Her suffering and pain is past.
We know she has gone to realms OF
love,
And in heaven has peace at last
Sadly missed by husband, children
and grandchildren.

THOSE TWO MEN AGAIN

The optimist and the pesSimist, for all
their anonymity, get together frequently
in anecdotes. The managing director of the
stock exchange of Stockholm, Sweden, put
them side by side recently in a story he
credits to the English. "The optimist," he
said. "sees a light where there isn't any,
and the pessimist comes along and blows
it out"
William Lyon Phelps, distinguished book
critic, knows the strange pair, too. The
pessimist, he explains, looks at bottle OF
whatever you please and walls, 20, woe,
it's half gone" The optimists, eying the
same container, exults, Great, it's still half
full"

in such groups he holds up large map OF
the United States. On it, somewhere, is

gentlemen" he asks, what do you see on
the map?" Almost to man the answer
is, "A black spot" But he counts the day
saved when one or two of the statesmen re-
ply instead, "A lot of clean white territory
which is wide open for our products
Currently popular and worth a wide
audience is the story, its origin unknown,
about two little girls who were frisklng
about in a strange garden Soon one OF
them ran to her mother and said, This
gardens bad place, Mother. I've been all
around and every rosebush has sharp, long
thorns on it"
Presently her small sister came skipping
up the path and cried, mother, l love this
place. I've been all around and every thorn
tree has such pretty roses growing on 1t"

The idea is not new.

The idea is not new.
For the use of fngerprints as a means OF
Identification in China and the Orient gen
orally is as old as civilization. A merchants
thumb-print is acceptable as his signature
on bank checks in some parts OF India;
fingerprints are sufficient signatures on re-
ceipts for wages or promissory notes else

Another pending bill would require fin
fngerprinting everybody.
The idea that everybody ought to be fin
gerprinted, by preference Immediately at
ter being born, and the prints kept on rec
ord for Identification at any later time, was
popularized by Mark Twain in his novel
"Puddn'head Wilson, many years ago.
Long before that scientific men had worked
out the system now in use by which every
body's fingerprints can be compared with
the files in Washington and almost instant
" either identified or prove that they have
never been recorded.
The growth of public sentiment in favor
of er-printing everybody is indicated
by recent report of the Institute of Public
Opinion, showing that II percent of Amer
leans are in favor of it. 1t would seem to
us that the only persons who have right
to object are those who have done some
thing they don't want anyone to find out
about.
