Lucky Strike cigarette Its toasted —I Health Education Is Undertaken By Our Public Health Nurse. The Public Health Nurse of the Bar row County Chapter, American Kisl Cross, who is Mrs. Ruby Worsham has done some excellent work along the lines of health education during the past month. The class of twenty women to whom Mrs. Worsham is teaching Home Hy giene and Care of the Hick constitutes one of the most valuable pieces of health work which could be offered to our community. In time of emergency or epidemic, there is nothing more im portant than accurate knowledge of what to do for those in need; hut side by side with emergency needs is the need which is always with us—the need for an understanding of health laws and of health reyuirements, and this is also taught in these classes in Home Hygiene and Care o fthe sick. If the home is sanitary and if health laws are regarded, then our womes are learning the great lesson of how tc keep the well from getting sick, and the Red Cross lias devoted much time and attention to making such lessons practical, easy to learn and easy to apply to their own families and friends This is not anew enterprise; it l>e gan us long ago as 1914 when the war almost drained the country of trained nurses and when the first epidemic of influenza was met by untrained women who, despite all their efforts and earn est desires did not know what to do for the sick. Since that time 92,000 women and girls throughout the coun try have taken these Red Cross courses which are specially arranged for them and have also stood the examinations which are given at their conclusion usd have received certificates of proficiency in the lessons learned. Many hundred more women took the courses and prof ited by them even though they did not quite complete the courses. Mrs. Worsham is giving practical demonstrations to her class in the best ways to take temperatures and pulse; how to make a bed with a helpless pa tient in it, how to give a bed bath and feed the sick, how to apply hot or cold applications, and in short how to do the many things which not only help the sick to get well but which also make them so much more comfortable and happy. It is a decided contribu tion to community health to have this work generally extended and women will find the time spent in such classes of the greatest possible help to them and to their families.

As the shades of evening began to hover and sunlight was shedding its brilliant rays on the western horizon, on January 18, 1921, the spirit of Mrs. Lessie Giles O’Kelly winged its way back to the Father who gave it. Mrs. O'Kelly was horn May 26, 1888, and was reared in the Chapel church com munity. On December 7th, 1913, she was united In marriage to Mr. R. L. O’Kelly, of Commerce, Ga. To this union three sweet little children were horn to brighten and adorn the home, two girls and one boy. In early life she identified herself with the church at Chapel and from all appearance and conversation she was true to all her vows. She had been in declining health for some time, and suffered a great deal,, but with a Christ-like spirit she bore it patiently. She seemed to realize that death was near and that the only way for relief was down through the valley and shadow of death. And In talking with her loved ones this was her de sire, giving instructions for her burial She was laid to rest at Chapel ceme tery on January 22, 1921, Rev. L. A. Winn, who had been her pastor for years, conducted the funeral, this be ing her request. He paid a tribute to her life which he had known from childhood.
