Public health nurses are now legally available to all Min- nesota. An act authorizing city and village councils, boards of county commissioners and town board to employ public health nurses, passed both houses of the legislature at.the forty- first session February 25. The bill was drafted by the Minne- sota Public Health association on the model of the bill which passed the senate two years ago and was approved by all interested. At the request of the Minnesota Public Health association Senator W. A. Nolan of Mower county. handled it in the senate and Representative H. C. Trowbridge; also: of Mower county, introduced the bill in the house. “The bill.passed both houses promptly without revision or amendment. . The bill was entered on the statutes in the following form: “Section 1. Every city council, village council, board of county commissioners and town board is hereby authorized and empowered to make appropriations for the employment of public health nurses. Such nurses are to be employed from the list of nurses registered in Minnesota. It shall be the duty of such nurses to act in any one or more of the following ca- pacities, as may be designated by the board employing them: As hygiene experts for schools or school districts within the county not already provided with regular medical inspection; to assist authorities charged with the care of the poor in safe guarding the health of such persons; to assist in discovering and reporting cases of tuberculosis and other communicable diseases; to act as visiting nurses; to performer such similar duties as shall be deignated by the board employing such nurses; and to make written reports, through the board em- ploying them, to the state and local boards of health in such form and at such times as shall be prescribed by the state board of health. The board of county commissioners may detail any such public health nurse to act under the direction of the county superintendent of schools, the county child welfere board, or the county health officers. . Section 2. This act shall take effect and be in force from and after its passage.” —0 THE BLESSING OF LABOR. Charles Kingsley once said, “Be thankful every morning of your life that there is something you must do, whether you like to do it or not.” : Whether you are painting a picture or hammering iron, whether you are keeping books or washing dishes and sweep- ing floors, your work is the thing which saves you from yourseli. While your hands and thoughts are occupied you have no time for morbid introspection. The clear duty before you is to berfii your energies to your work and do it conscientiously and well. world. Every person has an obligation before him. He must cn- gage in something useful to prove his right to live in a busy universe. If he cannot leave the world better than he found| it, he can at all events take his share of keeping the world; in order while he is here. The responsibility of labor is incuni-| bent upon him. . There is a wide though some times unconscious general| recognition of this responsibility. Many wealthy people who do not need to work for their own support show their realization of this principle by taking up some work of value to the com-| munity. They enter into public life or devote themselves to some question of education or general betterment of condi-; tions. If they do not take this course they -are reduced to the most uscless, profitless and wearisome form of toil—that of seeking their own amusement and pleasure. Wholesome satisfying employment develops a man's facul- ties, keeps him keen and ready for opportunity. 0. LOOKS LIKE TROUBLE-MAKER. A bill before the state legislature has for its purpose an act to establish a county board of health of five members and to authorize county boards to appoint a county physician and county dentist and to appropriate money therefor and to levy erable opposition to this measure. The county board shall choose a licensed physician, who shall be secretary of the county board of health and shall be known as the county physician, who shall exercise the powers and duties heretofore exercised by the chairman of town boards and health officers, within the territory under the board’s jurisdiction. In Section 7 of the proposed act one finds the following: The parents or guardians of any pupils in the public or private schools, or other child of school age, shall be responsible for tie expense of medical or hospital care for the treatment of conditions discovered upon the examination by the county physician. Whether that would meet the approbation of the general public is a matter for serious consideration. It would involve much discussion, it is believed, between the official physician and the efficient “family doctor” and would arouse antagon- ism in many instances. The Christian Science church members would not condone this practice for a moment, contrary to their line of endeavor, and to attempt to force by law that which is foreign to them would no doubt meet strong resent- ment. i O- COMMITTEE NAMED FOR COMMUNITY CLUB. |draw That's certanly a representative committee appointed by President Robinson of the Commercial club, to devise a change in the name and scope of activities of the organization. Every member is on the roster of the Commercial club and may be depended upon to lay out effective plans that will prove effec- tive in aiding the progress of the city in its entirety.

An organized effort is to be made to improve our time calendar. has been incorporated by fifty leading Minneapolis business and professional men with that end in view. The sole purpose of this organization will be the securing of a change in the calendar so that all the months shall be of exactly the same length. This is to be accomplished by tife adoption by congress of the Liberty Calendar, which is a very simple modification of the calendar now in use. e il In this new calendar there are thirteen months of exactly four weeks each, every. month commencing ‘with Monday: In the construction of the calendar only three slight changes were made in the present Gregorian form.--They are-as follows: First, New Year.day ismade an independent legal ‘holiday. It is placed between the last day of December ‘and the first day of January. It ismot included in any week or month. Second;: another independent legal holiday caled ‘“‘Cor- rectiom Day” is.provided for leap years. This is likewise placed ‘between the last:day:of-one month and the first day of the next. 1t is not included in any-week or month. . Third; the Temaining 364 days are divided into thirteen monthis:of exactly four:weeks each. ’ <. The names of the-months in this new calendar are January, February; Liberty,:March; etc. Theuse of: the’ word “Liberty” will ‘Americanize thervalendar at the same time it is made more convenient: ‘Undex:this new form all holidays and anni- versaries will .alwaysifall on the same day of the week.' A promissory’ note given for any number of weeks, months and years will' always-come ‘due on the same day of the week it was given. It.is claimed that the saving of time’ and mental effort in making calculations for future dates will be beyond all comprehension.: .« -3 » RSEUSSEY| S The naming of Hal Huffman to the city attorneyship was a happy solution of filling this important office and the council in large majority favored his choice. Mr. Huffman was, until the outbreak of the war, a practicing attorney of Bemidji and widely known and when the call came he attended the officers’ school at Fort Snelling, was commissioned ‘a“first lieutenant and assigned to important duties. He recently returned from his: military activities and made application as-a candidate for city attorney, and that he will make good is the prediction of his many fdepd& WARM WINTER SAVES { After each meal —=YOU eat one EATONIC ] By Frank J.
