NURSING AS A CAREER FOR WOMEN The Community Debt to the Nurse By Jane A. Delano Dim-tor of the Department of Nursing of the American Red Cross The woman who has been trained; as a nurse stands in a special rela-; tion to her community. Since we en-: tered the war,' and the ranks of | nurses in civilian life have steadily! decreased by the number enteringj the military service, this relation has| become emphasized. As a sanitarian, as a woman whoj thinks in terms of public health, andj as one who has trained personal ser-| vices to render, the trained nurse is} unquestionably one of the most val- \ u;ible members of society. The time of thinking of the nurse' as one whose duties are confined to j the actual care of the sick in hos-j pitals and homes has passed. Public j Health Nursing, although still in its infancy, has taught us to think of her as sanitary inspector, as organi-1 zer and teacher. A week in the life; of a typical nurse of the Town and Country Nursing Service of the Ame-| rican Red Cross has been described. | "In a busy week she cares for the ! bed-ridden who might otherwise re-1 ceive insufficient attention; she In-1 spects the children in the school to' see that incipient epidemics are not starting: she gives the children sini- i pie lessons in hygiene, and talks to I their elders on this subject in com munity meetings; she organizes local, health committees and clubs; brings' the clean-up and swat-the-fly cam-' paigns to the country; she gives to the Idlest advice of modern science: and renders a general com munity nursing service." Surrounding the majority of . our army camps and cantonments are areas known as sanitary zones. These have been established by the United \ States Public Health Service for thej purpose of preventing contagion be- ] tween the camps and the civil com- i munities. About ninety Red Cross: nurses are on duty in these zones. Every woman who has graduated as a nurse, is need by her country; to-day. Married nurses are asked to; give part of their time to hospitals) and visiting nurses' organizations. I or in public health service. Avail able graduate nurses are urged toj enter military service.

LIFE'S PROBLEMS ARE DI By MRS. WILSON WOODROW "Dear Madam—what would you do | if you were in my place? A some- | thing has overtaken me which I can- | not explain, and I beg for some sug- I gestion, advice or idea which can awaken me out of this spell. Life j means nothing to me. Time and • again I wish for death to be relieved j of this melancholy. I have lost all interest in living. "Perhaps, madam, you will wonder why this despondency. True, I have health but I am lacking many an earthly thing which I have never experienced and which other girls have, such as pretty clothes, riches, amusements. young men friends, good positions, etc. In fact, non- j success and years o( disappointment; are the real causes of my despair. Twenty-six years of striving and ! struggling are the masters ot my | fate. "Everything I undertook in life , was a failure, although I may say ! boldly and honestly that there never existed a person in this world who j tried harder to make good than I ! have. It is true that I have been despondent many times before, and i have overcome it when I tried hard j enough. But now I try and try, but j all in vain. Strange to say. 1 feel J that if anything could change this ; state, it would be through your state- j ment of what you would do, madam, j if you were in my place. E. G." i My Dear E. G.—You proclaim your self a bankrupt in life. Let us take! stock. Your liabilities are this! ghastly despondency. Your assets are youth, good health and an ex cellent education, if I may judge by your letter; all inestimable benefits. You do not consider them, however. Y'ou are engrossed with the thought that you've been unjustly deprived of many delightful things. put many girls of your age have enjoyed : those benefits and have yet been mis- j erable; so it is evident that the pos- 1 session of them is not an absolute! guarantee of happiness. Y'ou say that nonsuccess and un- j gratified longing are the of ] your fate. Then you believe in some force or forces in the uni verse which have conspired against your well-being and peace of mind. Pure superstition! There is nothing that can conspire against you but yourself, your own strongly-held ! thoughts and beliefs. Suppose you have failed at every thing you have undertaken? That does not mean that you have to g- j on failing. "Every day is a fresh ; beginning, every hour is the world 1 made new." Suppose, for an experi- ] ment, you face about and refuse to | | see anything but success. No one is 1 defeated until he gives up. Y'ou re j member the great epigram of Clem i enceau's about the last quarter of an ; hour. i It is unbelievable that a healthy ' young woman with a determination I to succeed, well educated and with some business training an continue to fail. Y'ou have been steadfastly gazing at despair, poverty, hopeless ness. Now face about the other way. Say to yourself, "I am not going to let the morbidity of my nature overwhelm me. 1 am going to cut it out of my mind as a surgeon would cut a cancer from the body." We can do anything we want to *vith ; our minds. Therefore stop thinking i failure. [ "All very easy to say," you mur i mur. "But how is It to be done?" How does a child learn the multi i plication table, or the piano scales? ! By perseverance, by going over them again and again. We can by per | sistent effort change any mental or i physical habit. And there is something in you that I is stronger than this despondency. You may call it anything you choose —God, or your greater self, or the ' subconscious mind. But believe in | it, cling to it! iY'ou are longing for happiness and peace of mind. Try this way; many i have succeeded in it: See yourself as actually possessing all of the j things you desire—business success, ! pretty clothes, money, amusements, | friends. Make these mental pictures clear and distinct. Then hold them, live in them, enjoy them. Believe {hat nothing is impossible, and that you are operating with mental laws which are just as infallible as those of the physical world. And put out j of your mind forever the belief that i there is any cruel, ruthless force ; which <*an thwart you. j Y'ou will be sometimes discour ; aged. The old doubts and fears will ! sweep over you. But that is because j you have made them welcome so I long. Don't fight them and say, "I won't think these thoughts. I won't!" Just turn to the more at tractive pictures of yourself, with all your longings gratified. Y'ou may say, "I don't believe any thing will come of such daydream ! ing; so what's the use?" Never I mind; try It. Practice these pictures | and these happy thoughts as you | would if you were learning a new | language or studying music. Y'ou ; will succeed, if you keep at it.

HARRISBURG TEMSGRXPEB Advice to the Lovelorn BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX •TOR OI,D TIMES' SAKE" DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: A year ago a young man. who had been attentive to me, and with whom ; I went about a great deal, had a posi j tion offered him in California, and I asked me to marry him and accom j pany him to that state. I declined on I the ground that it seemed uncertain j whether he would succeed. He now writes, announcing his approaching marriage to a girl whom he says is just like me. He asks me to write to him and he will send a photo of his wife and himself, and that I will look upon their love and happiness with happy thoughts. Do you think this letter is fair to his future wife, although he states it is written with her knowledge? What can be his mental process in believing that I wall answer the leteer in these circumstances? B. A. H. T think the man is behaving quite rplendidly! Once he thought he loved you. -You had not the pioneer spirit and did not care enough for him to venture out and seek fortune at his side. So he owed you no loyalty. Then he met a girl who came to mean a great deal to him and in whom he thinks he sees the qualities he once idealized in you. Still, for old times' sake, he retains some of his regard for you, and writes to tell you that his friendship will not die, even though love has come into his life. Evidently, the girl he is going to marry is fine and generous; evidently, also, he thinks that you are fine and generous. If you are, you will write a hearty and earnest letter of good wishes and make him feel that you I are not unhappy through his happi | ness. He may have a lingering fear ( that I will answer the letter in these I you were net willing to go with him i.and help him fight, you and I agree. I don't we, that he hasn't done you any I wrong at all? WHY NOT TELL HER! DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I am 19 and go about with a girl the same age. She has been going about with a young man for two | years—in the meantime with other young men. Not long ago I was in- I troduced to the first man and he now I wants to take me about. Would you I advise telling my friend, although I hate to make her feel bad. E. L. Evidently you are a loyal friend and have a proper regard for another girl. I certainly would not hurt her by going out with a man for whom she may care deeply. On the other hand, since she accepts attention from other young men. perhaps he does ! not mean very much to her at all. Men have not the exclusive "property" at titude toward girls who are merely their friends which girls generally have. If you like this boy why not tell her and ask her if she minds? If, on j the other hand, you are really sure i that she loves him it would be best | perhaps just to quietly refuse his in vitation and say nothing about it. I Perhaps wou are making a mountain j out of a mole hill and would do best to accept the masculine viewpoint. | which would be exactly this: Accept his invitation merely as a little friend ly incident and tell your girl friend that you have done so. NOT YERY IMPORTANT DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: Won't you help me out of a pre dicament? tA few weeks ago I went out with a friend whom I admire. I was hurt by something he said, and let him know I didn't like it. He per sisted. for he is the type thta seems to demand obedience, or rather sub mission. Now. since then I have not *een or i heard from him. I should not like to break our friendship, but still I will not run after him. He is very busy but so am I. ELSIE C. It isn't a very serious predicament. On the one pan of the scale there is your pride, on the other your friend ship. Which weighs heavier? It does not matter one bit who is in the right or who Is in the wrong; what counts is who is generous enough to say. "I am sorry." Of course, you don't want to "run after" any man; but, if you have had a misunderstand ing. why not seek an explanation as simply and naturally as you would if your trouble were with a girl. CONQUERING BEI,F DEAR MISS FAIRFAX. Would you advise a girl to marry a man who. when she first met him. was inclined to drink, but has since changed?. Her mother is opposed to the marriage on this ground, being of the opinion that after they are mar ried. he will go back to his old habits. K. B. Any of us may, sadly enough, be come the slave to a bad' habit. That is unfortunate and weak. But when one of us conquers an ugly habit and triunjphs. he proves himself strong. I see no reason to believe that a man who has once been inclined to drink and who really conquers and defeats his temper need go back to it. If this man has really proved himself vic torious over drink, he deserves hap piness—not suspicion. A temporary re- ' fbrm of a month or two does not count; real, time-proved self-onquest does. THE BOY KNEW "Little boy." asked a well-meaning man of 'a lad at a conversazione, "is that your mother over there wearing a beautiful set of sir."

Another Way of Carrying a Rifle "I cannot carry a rifle but I can do without wheat," said a hoary-headed veteran of the Civil War recently. All the fighting spirit of the days of '63 was reflected in his determined look. His heart was still young enough to yearn to be over there with the boys of 1918. He wanted to do his part Jn settling once and for all the Hun's insult to civilization. But though his heart was young, his rheumatic joints reminded him sadly that he could not hope to take any active part in to-day's war. He knew, however, that there was a part he could, still play; he could con tribute his share of the needed wheat to those who are actually carrying the rifles. There are many men too old to carry rifles. There are some young men whoso physical ills prevent them from going across. Then there are women and children who cannot be at the front. £ut all these can and should pledge themselves'to eat no wheat during the critical shortage of the next three months. It is only personal sacrifice and personal saving that will give us any wheat to send until next harvest. There are other foods in plenty for Americans to eat as wheat substi tutes. To eat these and release every pound of wheat possible Is one way of carrying a rifle in this war against barbarous autocracy. Railroad Men Attend Annual Memorial Service The annnual memorial service of the Railroad Transportation Men was held last evening in the Stevens Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church, Thirteenth and Vernon streets, and was participated In by many delegates, representing ten brotherhood organizations and their auxiliaries.

When we hear of so many school girls and girls in stores and offices who are often totally unfit to perform their dally duties because of some derangement peculiar to their sex, might this not have been prevented by the mother who, perhaps through neglect or carelessness, failed to get for that daughter the one great root and herb remedy for such ailments.

MESSIAH CHURCH IS DEDICATED Special Services to Be Held This Week in Handsome New Edifice With special services and sermons, the newly-built Messiah Lutheran Church edifice was formally dedicat ed yesterday. The Rev. G. V. A. Tressler, president of the General Synod, preached the dedicatory ser mon in the morning, praising the achievements of the congregation which has built Messiah Lutheran Church.

Unscrupulous Doctors Help Deplete Ranks of Army London.—Unscrupulous physicians and chemists in London have been operating recently a regular school to assist men of military age from avoiding service by the use of drugs. Medical boards before whom men appear for examination of exemption learned some time ago of this prac tice, taught by heads of the school, and measures have been taken by the police to break up the organiza tion of quacks. A doctor can produce almost any symptom of disqualification for the army, the heart being the chief organ tampered with, it was learned by the authorities. Use of drugs which affect the heart is more difficult to detect and because of that fact is the most in demand among "clients" of the doctors' school. The fee charged by the quacks is SSO in most cases, but in many in stances the amount paid by men ■seeking to avoid the army is said to have been much larger. Money is no object among the shirkers. Owing to the labor shortage men have been earning wages in virtually all lines of work which were not even dreamed of before the war. The majority of the cases of ef forts to dodge army service by these means according. to the medical 'boards, has been among the poorer class in the East End of London.
