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

One of the first things a stu
dent nurse is taught in the hos
pital is to treat promptly with
an antiseptic even the finest
scratch or pin prick on the hands.
This is an important lesson for
the home nurse also.
In caring for the sick the
nurses hands are very likely TO
become contaminated with body
discharges. When the skin is bro
ken it is an easy matter for bac-
terra to enter and cause serious
infection.
Any wound on the hand should
be promptly and thoroughly
washed, preferably with boiled
water. If this is not available,
wash it with clean warm water.
Scrub the skin around the injury
with soap and water. Wipe dry
with a clean Goth, apply two
per cent iodine or some other
antiseptic with toothbrush
swab, and cover the injury with
a clean dressing. If you do not
have sterile dressings at hand,
take an old handkerchief and
iron it quickly with hot iron.
Being careful to touch only the
edges, fold it and apply to the
wound. Fasten it on with a band
age or with adhesive tape.
All members of the family
should be taught that 1t is dan
gerous to put an injury, even one
as small as pin prick, in the
mouth to suck the blood. The
mouth harbors many kinds of
bacteria that may cause serious
infection.
DON'T TAKE CHANCES
. The use of a soiled handker-
chief to cover an injury Is also q
dangerous practice, because the
handkerchief Is contaminated
WIN nose ana tnroat injection.
II q clean dressing Is not i'm
mediately available it is better to
leave the wound exposed to the
open air until proper care can be
given. than to cover it with a
soiled handkerchief. A moderate
amount Of bleeding will help to
wash away the germs that may
have entered, and will do no
harm If not continued long.
The hands are so important in
the business of living that no
chances should be taken with in.

saw a new world unfold before
his mighty sword. He found
riches and lost them.
There is enough cold blooded
killing, enough tight spots and
enough suspense to keep the
story going at such pace that one
feels an inclination to skip
those chapters in which the au-
thor goes back to bring the ad-
venture Of the other characters
in the book up to date. But the
action is sustained enough to
keep up interest and there are
few dull moments.
The authors characters are
not strong outside of Pedro and
even in the hero there are some
faults. He becomes at times easy
prey for traps set by his enc
mics, but then suddenly be-
comes sort of superman to get
out of them.
But its shortcomings are so
few and so far overshadowed by
the adventure and feudal past
which the story wildly de-
scribes that the book never lets
you down, whether you are with
Pedro when he is counting, in a
dungeon while awaiting death
or returning a hero to tie coun-
try he once was forced to flee.

President Roosevelt found it necessary to preface
the news Of z per cent cut in the cN'ion meot
supply with warning thot the country will have to
tiohten its belt before victory is won He also felt
called upon to assure the country that it will not
stove even thouoh we send food to Europe to avert
starvation there.
1t is we'll that the President made this settlement.
For in doing so he took co9nizonce Of on attitude
which, though held by only small minority Of the
public, has been expressed with enough frequency
and noise to require some official notice.
This attitude insists upon the folse assumption
that, since we shall eventually win our two major
wars living ought to get eosier as we get closer to
victory 1t holds that since Germany is already reel
ine the time has come to ease up on restrictions
This attitude likewise places the blame for every
shortage upon Washington bungIing and bureau
crocy There have been bungIing and mistakes, to
be sure. They have gone too long uncorrected and
should be remedied. But the greet Of shortage
obviously is the staggering expenditure Of all sorts
Of supplies every day. expenditure which con-
tinues and grows while our labor force dininishes.
Then there is the attitude toward sending food
to Europe which implies that should be fed in
peocetine abundance, matter what happens to
the rest Of the world.
This implication is vaguely supported by the as
sumption thot we here in the United States are un-
bombed and comfortable as q reward for some spec.
ioI virtue Of our own attainment. With that is the
corooy assumption that European civilians sonoe-
how, and for some reason, ore getting only what
they deserve
Mr.. Roosevelt invoked Justice and decency as
for denying ourselves little SO as to save
Europeans from actual starvation. 1t may be hoped
that such plea will move those who have talked Of
"storvine" this country while "our butter is used to
grease Russian boots" But if it will not, perhaps
hord-heoded business reasons might

porous America in postwar world full Of wrecked
cities and farms, and populated by sick, exhausted
people. Reconstruction and active world trade will be
hard enough to achieve without the added burden,

and death.

 Paris, Sept. 20-(UP) -One of the great benefits France is reapine from the American occupation" o. France is that now the U, s. troops are returning home they are leavine behind them a number of we'll equipped hospitals-which the Ger mans had stripped of everything.
 The retreating Nazis carefully rs- moved every item that could have been of medical use to the wounded Allies, Nothing was left in France not a bandage, not a hypodermic needle, not scalpel.
 One of the best equipped hos pitals in the Paris region Is the Percy Hospital at Clamart on the outskirts of the capital, Evacuated by the Americans its surgical de- partment is now being run by the well-known army surgeon Raymond Dubau, He has introduced into France new system of lung sur- gery whitA has been perfected dur ing the past few years by American doctors.
 Discarded in 1888
 Dr, Dubau, commenting on the operation, told the United Press;
 Surgery of the thorax and the cutting away of the diseased parts of lung was originally French idea and was first practiced in 1888 by Professor D:lcrme. But at that time the operation was considered to be very dangerous and the n:eth- cd was quickly forgotten.
 But American Army surgeons started working on the idea and they have shown that 1t can render the greatest services, not only in the removal of shot and shrapnel but also In the treatment of tubercu- losis, It cannot be denied the oper- ation Is a delicate one and danger ous If the greatest pre-and post operation care is not taken. But 1t Is a wonderful thing, nevertheless, because in four to six weeks a man can quit the hospital with phy- siologicGlly sound lung"
 The Percy Military Hospital is under the overall direction of Col, Marc Ternier. He said that when the Germans left the building 1t looked as If a hurricane had swept through the place"
 Escaped From Germans
 Col. Ternier was captured by the Germans In June, l940, but succeed cd in escaping and returning to France where during the next four years he operated in the Maquis.
 He deprived the Germans of many a pair of French arms by means of a pseudo spinal meningitis he in- vente which is without any danger for the patient"
 He said he provoked "menin. gitis' in scores of Frenchmen who had been called up for slave labor In Germany and although they are supposed to be so good not one Ger man doctor ever suspected the sick ness had been provoked by an inoc- culation,"
 Ternier had lot of fun with the Germans, he said. He cited one in- stance where he spread the news

diamond and emerald bracelet for
Edda. In the deliveries, the gifts
were switched.
Shortly thereafter the two women
occupied adjoining boxes at the Milan
Opera. Edda asked Maria TO exchange
bracelets, and Maria Indignantly re-
fused to part with anything that
came from her Adored One. In jeal
Gus rage, Edda snatched at Maria'S
wrist and Maria boxed Edda's cheek.
The scene became the talk OF
Milan, as such a public display could
scarcely be anything else. Which ac-
counts for Puccis entrance.
Three days after the incident, Edda
received an emerald bracelet exactly
like Maria's and a note which said;
For her who is worth her weight
i'm emeralds."
She made discreet inquiries and
discovered that the giver was the
Marquis Pucci, a wool merchant Of
Florence. Thus began the affair.
Edda and Pucci found they had
things in common, the principal one
being a desire for wealth. Edda made
il easy for him. She mentioned the
right words i'm the right places and
soon he had a contract 10 furnish
