WASHINGTON, D. C., June 11
Expert clerical work has a more im
portant place in the government's war
organization than most people real
ize. We all know that the ar can
not be won in the trenches alone;
that an effective establishment at home
18 vital to the success of the biggest
job ever undertaken by any nation;
but the full extent to which the spec
ialized clerk is needed is, perhaps, not
generally understood. And it is in
this class of work that women have
the best opportunity to be of real ser
vice to the government at this iime.
In the national capita] alone, the
civilan force increased from 30,000
•* nearly SO,OOO during the lirst year
oi our participation ,n the war Nine
teu iis ci the new employees a»e
tie rs u. one kind or another, and
fully three-fourths of them are wo
men. Eighteen thousand stenograph
ers and typists are at work constantly
in the government offices at Washing
ton on the tons of correspondence and
records made necessary by war prep
arations on a scale such as the world
iu.s never before known.
General clerks, that is, those with
out a specialty, are not difficult to ob
tain, even under present conditions,
but the United States civil service
commission, charged wih the duty of
recruiting the civil service to meet
war neetls, is experiencing difficulty ’
in obtaining a sufficient number oi !
applications for many clerical posi-'
tions requiring special training or
experience. There is urgent call for
applicants for the positions of sten
ographer, typewriter, bookkeeper
typewriter, clerk-bookkeener, cost ac
countant, accounting find statistical
clerk, statistician, clerk qualified in
accounting, clerk qualified in business
administration, index and catalogue
clerk, schedule clerk, passenger-rate
clerk, blue print file clerk, and as
sistant to business manager. All of
these positions are open to both men
and women. Representatives of the
civil service commission at the post
offices in all cities are prepared to
furnish definite information and ap- 1
plication blanks.
There Is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than -.1l other diseases
put together, and for years it wi .1 sup

local remedies, and by constantly failing
to cure with local treatment pronounced
it incurable. Catarrh is a local disease,
greatly influenced by constitutional con

“A SPLENDID TONIC”
Say» Hixson Lady Who, On Doc
tor’s Advice, Took Cardui
And Is Now Well.
Hixson, Tenn. —"About 10 years ago
I was...” says Mrs. J. B. Gadd, of
this place. "I suffered with a pain In
my left side, could not sleep at night,
with this pain, always in the left
side...
My doctor told me to use Cardui. I
took one bottle, which helped me and
after mv baby came, I was stronger
and better, but the pain was still
there. . x ,
I at first let it go, but began to get
weak and in a run-down condition,
so I decided to try some more Cardui,
which I did.
This last Cardui which I took made
me much better, in fact, cured me. It
has been a number of years, still I
have no return of this trouble.
I feel it was Cardui that cured me,
and I recommend it as a sp’endid fe
male tonic.”
Don’t allow yourself to become
weak and run-down from womanly
troubles. Take Cardui. It should snre
]v help you, as it has so many thou
sands of other women in the past 40
vears. Headache, backache, sideache,
Nervousness, sleeplessness, tired-out
feeling, are all signs of womanly trou
ble Other women get relief by taking
Cardui. V.'hy not you? AH druggists

BATTLE TO KEEP UP HIGHEST
STANDARD OF PUBLIC HEALTH
MUST NO TBE RELAXED FOR ONE
MOMENT, SAYS WORKER.
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 11.—The
woman wh o posses the magic gift of
nursing, who thoiugh untrained has
the ability instinctively to anticipate
and understand the wishes of the very
ill, is likely to have her chance, ac
cording to Miss Helen Boyd,, chairman
of the National Organiaztion for Pub
lic Health Nursing, 615 Nineteenth
street, N. W. During the great de
mand for graduate nurses to serve
in the army and navy, there has been
no call for the “practical” nurse, who
though she may be able to carry out
orders of a doctor is barred through
lack of professional training in hos
pitals. Many of these women have beg
ged to be included in the war work.
“The battle to keep up the highest
standard of public health must not be
relaxed for one moment,” says Miss
Boys. “There must be women to go
about teaching how to prevent the
spread of tuberculosis and bow to care
for tuberculosis patients in their
homes. Mal-nutrition of children
from improper feeding is always a
menace. It must be counteracted by
the explanation to mothers of correct
diets for infants and growing child
ren. People who cannot afford his
pital treatment, and those who visit
the free clinics, must be cared for at
home. This is the work of the public
health nurse.
“So that as many trained nurses as
possible can be releaced for service
abroad, it is possible that practical
nurses will be recruited to fill ranks
in public health nursing. They will
carry on the work under adequate
supervision. The relation of public
health to the health of the army and
navy has been emphasized. The pre
vention of disease epidemics in com
munities means the prevention of epi
demics in cantonments.
“The enrolling of public health
nurses should, if possible, include the
married woman who is a graduate
nurse. She must be encouraged to
help in a national need by giving her
services for a half-day every day, or
for a certain number of hours every
week””
Miss Boyd calls attention to the in
terest in industrial nursing which
mean s the care of workers in their
homes, as well as the care of the work
ers in the factories. A recent survey
which she made of conditions in Con
necticut shows the employment of
ninety-nine industrial nurses. Some
factories have made the rule that,
on the third of the absence, the nurse
is notified and the home of the em
ploye is visited. In many instances
the records show that while the work
er was not ill there was illness in
the home which prevented attendance
at work. In these cases the visiting
nurse takes the responsibility of care
from tlie shoulders of the worker. Un
der the industrial nursing system an-,
attempt at being made to establish day
nurseries where the children of mar
ried women who are doing their share
of the field labor can have whole
some care and wholesome amusement.
