“Throughout “Coun 8 the' e Red Cross to’ date and its department of:gursing Is dally-increasing -this en- rollment, . : The department of nursing has authorized to maintain- an adequa Témerve of murses for the army ‘and aavy:: It will continue to supply the meeds of the United States ‘Public Health Service to. which it has as- signed more than 1,000 nurses in the last year. i It will assist in establishing proper .- mursing “service Jn foreign countries where the American Red Cross has or- v.anlud hospitals, dispensarles and schools for nurses. Courses in home hygiene and care of the sick bave been started for thousands of women who have never recelved any education in .this direction. - Rural nursing which ~'was i1 jts {nfancy a short while ago has been put ahead at least a decade . through the work of the department of nursing and local Red Cross ‘ehapters. . . Public_health nursing has.been ex- tended to many rural communitles and mow flourishes actively in hundreds: of small towns and counties. Nearly a thousand ‘sfélent nurses have already Been assigned to this kind of work. The department of nursing is unit- fog with other organizations In a-year's eampaign in recruiting nurses for training schools, ‘in educating the gen- eral public-as to standards of nurding edycation and in showing communities their responsibility toward schools of mursing. It will endeavor to meet all these needs as well as to continue the enrollment of dietitians who will be utilised as instructors In home dietet- fes, In developing nutritional clinics, and In supplying dletitians for the United States’ Public Health Service and the clvilian hospitals. The Nursing Service will continue to offer to women and young girls the opportunity of securing Instruction.in Roine hyglene and care of the sick in every community In the country. This fnstruction has not only lald the foun- datfon for public health but in some places has given impetus to the estab- Ushment. of hospltals and community school houses, ). %AW a ¢ommunity profits by the work of ‘the nurse,” says Miss Clara D. Noyes, direetor of the department of nursing, “it is logical that the com® mmilty‘ should be aroused to Its respon- sibllity. 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 medica) profession as well as the ; intelligent _co-operation of the Deople at large.” T 'HOME SERVICE FOR . EVERYBODY.IN NEED Do you know what the present day Home Service- of the American Red Cross is? 4 Many people do not know that, be- sides completing the work for ex-serv- fce mon, especially the disabled, It pro- vides ‘the..same’ ne'ghborly service to families n geceral that it formerly gave famllles «2 soldlers, sallors and marlues, “Home Servive covers a wide and varied fleld,” says Frederjck C.

It joins hands with oth- ers to make - communities safer, healthier and happler. Organizing action along llines 1o which the community 18 already inter- ested is one of the objects of Home Service. ‘It has established community meetings, patriotic celebrations, pag- eants and picnics.

Peat I8 extensively used as fuel in northern Europe and as fertilizer in the United States. In Europe gas, charcoal, coke and a number of valu- able by-products are produced from it, Owing to the scarcity of raw mate- rlals In Europe, peat and peat mioss gre employed. also as substitutes for absorbent cotton in the preparation of surgical dressings, for wool and for cotton and. woglen cloth. In the United States peat is ntilized chiefly ‘as ferti- lizer filler; as.stable litter and as an absorbent for the uncrystallized reel- dues of beet and cane sugar refinerles in the manufacture of stock feed. .. Peat has long been used in ferti- lizing the sofl, having been either ap- plied ‘as a.direct fertilizer or used as a filler for commercial fertilizer, Anal- ysis of the peats of the United States show an average nitrogen content of about 2 per cent, a proportion some- what higher than that found in some commerecial fertilizers, ' The value-of peat in soil fertiliza- tion is found in its nitrogen content and in the beneficial mechanical ef- fect it produces upon certain lands. Black, thoroughly decomposed peats are most satisfactory for fertilizer, as_ such peats are generally heavier and more compact and contain more nk trogen and less fibrous material than the brown types. \ Overcrowding the Earth.
