NURSING SERVICE IS
RAPIDLY EXPANDING
This American Red Cross Work
Flourishing in Small Towns
Throughout Country.
r-
More than 37.CKK) graduate nurses
been enrolled In the American
Sliced Cross to date and its department
of nursing is daily increasing this en
rollment.
The department of nursing has been
authorized to maintuin an adequate
reserve of nurses for the army and
navy. It will continue to supply the
needs of the United States Public
Health Service to which it lias as
signed more than 1,000 nurses in the
last year.
It will assist in establishing proper
nursing service in foreign countries
where the American Ited Cross lias or
ganized hospitals, dispensaries and
schools for nurses. Courses in home
hygiene and care of the sick have been
started for thousands of women who
have never received any education in
this direction. Rural nursing which
was in its infancy a short while ago
has been put ahead at least a decade
through the work of the department
of nursing aud local Red Cross
chapters.
Public health nursing lias been ex-
many rural communities nnd
now flourishes actively in hundreds of
small towns and counties. Nearly a
thousand efficient nurses have already
been assigned to tills kind of work.
The department of nursing is unit
ing with other organizations in a year's
campaign in recruiting nurses for
training schools, in educating the gen
eral public as to standards of nursing
education and in showing communities
their responsibility toward schools of
nursing.. It will endeavor to meet all
these needs as well as to continue the
enrollment of dietitians who will be
utilized as instructors in home dietet
ics, in developing nutritional clinics,
.and in supplying dietitians for the
"United States Public Health Service
and the civilian hospitals.
The Nursing Service wiH continue to
offer to womeji and young girls the
opportunity of securing instruction in
home hygiene and care of the sick in
every community in the country. This
instruction has not only laid the foun
dation for public health but in some
' places lias given impetus to the estab
lishment of hospitals and community
school houses.
“Asa community profits by the work
of the nurse,’’ says Miss Clara I).
Noyes, director of the department of
nursing, “it is logical that the com
munity should be aroused to its respon
sibility. The American Red Cross
stands ready to help in a general cam
paign of recruiting and must have the
support, sympathy and understanding
of the medical profession ns well as
the intelligent co-operation of the.
people at large.”
HOME SERVICE FOR
EVERYBODY IN NEED
Do you know what the present day
Home Service of the American Red
Cross is?
Many people do not know that, be
sides completing the work for ex-serv
ice ijrnn, especially the disabled, it pro
vides the same neighborly service to
families in general that it formerly
gave families of soldiers, sailors and
marines.
“Home Service covers a wide and
varied field,” says Frederick C. Mun
roe, general manager of the American
Red Cross. “It gives aid to families
in solving such problems as budget
planning, marketing, tiding over times
of financial stress, keeping children in
school, helping crippled children, wid
owed and deserted mothers, children
backward in school and children in
conflict with the laws. It renders serv
ice to the homeless and transient, to
the illiterate, to tenement dwellers, to
the unemployed, and gives friendly as
sistance and advice to foreign speak
ing groups.”
In addition to helping families in
the solution of their own problems,
Home Service helps In strengthening
the weak spots in the social life of
communities. It joins hands with oth
ers to make communities safer,
healthier and happier.
Organizing action along lines in
which the community is already inter
ested is one of the objects of Home
Service. It has established community
meetings, patriotic celebrations, pag
eants and picnics. Rest rooms, recre
ation facilities, play supervisors and
moving pictures have been provided.
Through Home Service other agencies
are influenced to bring about improved
commercial amusements and better
school facilities and to promote travel
ing libraries as well as to secure coun
ty agricultural ami home demonstra
tion agents.

Cross chapter and describe the situa
tion. Your confidence will be sacredly
respected and every possible effort will
be made to aid you.

AMERICAN RED CROSS
TO GIVE RURAL HELP
Program for Public Health and
Community Welfare Is Now
Well Under Way.
Rural communities and towns of less
than 8,000 population benefit in a very
large part by tlie public health and
community welfare work of the Ameri
can Red Cross. Almost all of the
3,600 Red Cross chapters have some
rural sections in their territory. There
fore the Red Cross Rural Service.
Briefly, the purpose of Rural Serv
ice is to assist people to get out of life
more health, wealth and happiness. In
this purpose public health instruction
and general educational progress of
both children and adults play a big
pnrt.
Recreation is found to be one of the
biggest needs in rural life. There is
lack of sufficient play-life for the chil
dren and social life for the adults.
Picnics, pageants, debating clubs,
baseball leagues, community singing
and other social events wiiich bring
the people of surrounding communities
together have been organized and car
ried on under the guidance of Red
Cross rural workers to great advan
tage. in many Instances solving rec
reational problems and getting people
together proves to be the awakening
of the community to other conditions
which may be Improved by united
action.
Asa result of community organiza
tion, townships in which there had
been neither plans nor interest in
community progress have been organ
ized to work together with .the unified
purpose of bringing their community
up to the most enlightened standards.
Lecture and musical entertainment
courses have been started as a result
of community meetings, as well as cir
culating libraries, Red Cross schools of
instruction In Home Nursing, Care of
the Sick and First Aid. In the larger
towns the need for restrooms and pub
lic comfort stations is being met. Play
grounds for the children have been
established and recreational activities
worked out for the year.
In order that there may he concerted
effort in carrying on the programs of
the various welfare agencies in the
rural districts, Red Cross Rural Serv
ice helps the organizations already on
the ground. The main object of the
'service is to lend a hand everywhere
and take the lead only where neces
sary.

Torpid
Liver
“Black-Draught is, in
my opinion, the best liver
medicine on the market,’’
states Mrs. R. H. White
side, of Keota, Okla. She
continues: “I had a pain
in my chest after eating—
tight, uncomfortable feel
ing—and ihis was very
disagreeable and brought
on headache. I was con
stipated and knew it was
indigestion and inactive
liver. 1 began the use of
Black-Draught, night and
morning, and it sure is
splendid and certainly
gives relief.”

I would feel like I was going to be
down in bed. Yet I kept dragging
around.
The Economy of Using
Goody ear Smal i Car Tires
“We heard of Ziron, and from what
I read, I waß sure it wouldn't hurt me,
If it didn't help me. But after taking
it, I found it really helped me, and I
sent back for more. I ate better, felt
much stronger. I am sure Ziron Is
a. splendid tonic.”

disheartened, due to stomach disorders
and nervous ills, find relief by toning
