 Although highway traffic was re- ported to be fairly heavy, there were few motor vehicle accidents, and only one injury from fireworks was reported.
 William H. Greene, director of the State Highway Commission, said the good highway record for the holiday shows what can be done when people choose to do 1t. This absence of needless deaths on day formerly noted for heavy toll of lives certainly sets high Anark for the state to continue to yschieve in the days ahead.

HOME NURSE
By Iona l.. TROTT
Assistant Director,
Red Cross Nursing Service
Written for NEA Service

Among the specialties of the
home nurses Of our grand
mothers time was the ability to
make chicken broth, beef tea,
corn meal Cruel, and other such
sickroom dainties. But the hun
CRY patient was likely to grow
faint as he waited while a chick
en- had been killed, dressed and
cooked to provide him with a
cup Of the tOothsOme broth.
The modern home nurse keeps
a supply of canned fruit and
vegetable juices, canned soups
and broths on her pantry shelf
which she can prepare at a mo-
ment's notice.
Liquid diet is usually advis-
able in the beginning of an ill
ness, when there is an elevation
of temperature, or when there
are signs of a digestive disturb
ance. Liquids are easily digested
and refreshing although general
ly low in food value. Milk in all
its forms is the most nourishing
liquid food, but it is not per-
mitted in certain types of illness.
When the physician orders liquid
diet, be sure to ask him if the
patient may have milk. If so
you can vary the menu a little
by giving buttermilk, egg nog,
mailed milk, milk shakes, choc-
olate milk and milk soups.
SERVE COOL JUICES
Canned fruit and vegetable
to the patient with fever. They
should be kept in the ice box
and served cold. When the can
has been opened any juice left
over should be placed in a fruit
jar and covered with tight lid
to prevent loss of vitamin con-
tent.
Lemonade and orangeade, pre-
ferably strained, are old stand
bys of the home nurse. They are
especially tasty and refreshing,
are high in vitamins, and help to
stimulate elimination. Carbonat-
ed drinks are permitted in liquid
diet sometimes, but these should
not be given without permission
from the physician.
The patient on liquid diet
should be fed every or 3 hours
unless the doctor orders other
wise.

With anything but heart

no problem. However, Hawk.
too, realized that East had to
have the ace and queen of

Hawk discarded the seven of

WASHINGTON, D. c. - Far

figures in the Presidents annual

The war will not be won un-
