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.

Kaukauna, Wis.—"l was weak, all run down, tired all the time, and had Asthma so I could har.dly keep around and do my housework. After everything else had failed to help me, 1 Vinol built me up and made me well j and strong."—Mrs. Jay Parker. The reason Vinol was so successful in Mrs. Parker's case, is because it contains the necessary elements to create an appetite, aid digestion, make pure blood and create strength. It is the beef and cod liver pep tones—iron and glycerophosphates in Vinol —that does it—you will not 1 be disappointed if you try it. George A.
