HOME NURSE
BY Iona L. TROTT
Written for NEA Service

The expectant mother VINO
lives in the countr.r or small
town may find it necessary to
sterilize her own supplies before
confinement at home. There are
two fairly simple ways Of doing
this. One way is by steaming.
The other Is by baking.
First assemble the supplies
and wrap them firmly in square
pieces Of muslin, using a soft
pencil to mark the contents on
the outside of each paskage. Put
all the packages into pillowcases
or cotton flour sacks, loosely
packed.
For steaming, put six inches
of water in a wash boiler and
place on the stove to heat. Sus-
pend a towel or strip of muslin
into the boiler, like a hammock,
taking care that it does not touch
the water. Fasten the ends Sc
curely to the handles of the boil
er with strings or strong safety
STEAM ONE HOUR
When the water is steaming
hot, place a bag of supplies Zone
at a time) on the hammock in
the boiler. Put the cover on
tightly and steam for one hour.
Remove and dry by pinning the
bag securely to the clothesline
where it will get sun and wind,
or by placing on the rack in a
moderate oven, with door partly
open so they will dry slowly.
The second day. repeat the pro-
cess of steaming all supplies for
one hour and drying. Then put
the bags away, unopened In a
drawer or box and cover to ex-
clude dust. "a large pressure
cooker may be used instead of
the wash boiler, giving the sup
plies 20 pounds of pressure for
one hour and repeating the Sc
cond day.
For baking. the supplies may
be placed on the rack in mod
crate oven, along with a large
potato, and left until the potato
IL done. This method has the adj
vantage of keeping the supplies
dry. The baking should be re-
peated on the following day.

want to know how that money is being administered

More than thot we want to know what is going
on inside the other nations Of the world. we can
trust the officers Of UkRRA to keep sharp eye
on the administration Of it's funds and to report to

Al0wly becoming useful. This is Che War Departments answer to Hlmors that there are untold num- hers of basket cases'-men with Nll four limbs gone.
 Corporal Brown tells how 1t happened. He was 6 tank gunner with the Sixth Armored Division ln France The date was Septem- Der 2.
 We started at dawn. I was in Ehe company commanders tank. It was a patrol mission. They said we were in enemy-held ter ritory, but nothing much hap pened until about noon.
 Suddenly one of the officers yelled to stop. He spotted two German ammunition trucks hid- den behind barn. I fired two shots and blew up both trucks.
 Then they started shooting at OS from somewhere. We were hit, but nobody seemed to be hurt. It must have been the track be- cause when the officer shouted let's get the hell out of here,' we could move.
 "The next thing I remember found myself lying in the tank alone. I knew I was badly hurt flgured the other guys probably thought I was dead. pulled my self to the top of the turret and hung by my armpits. A lieuten- ant yelled and said he was get ting help must have passed out then.
 When I regained conscious ness, was in a ditch. I saw other guys from my tank running all around. The action was pretty tough. I passed out again. Next time I knew what was going on I was lying on a tank that was moving. I woke up again in lit- ter on jeep. That's all remem- Der until I woke up in the hos pital."
 CONFIDENT
 The action the patrol ran into Was so tough no medical men could get to 1t. The wounded, like Corporal Brown, were carried to hospital jeepS on tanks. When he finally came to, the three ampu- tations were already completed. The use of plasma and whole blood along with plenty of guts, according to the doctors, kept him alive.
 Before the war, Corporal Brown was 8 dairy employe. He made Ice cream and was in charge of distribution. The fact that he's the first from either World War to loose three limbs disturbs him not one whit. Whats a man with that handicap going to do?
 There are plenty of jobs can do around the dairy I'm not wor- ried," he says.
 And the Army's going to do all It can to give him a chance to get back to earning a living. While he talked he was being fitted for an artificial arm and hand. He grinned as he tried 1t out. There's no question in his mind that he will be able to walk again, either, with two artificial legs. He knows he will.
 He has two brothers, one at home, and another recovering from wounds in a hospital in England. He is unmarried.
