11. HEALTH NURSING SERVICE
i
The "Washtenaw county chapter of
the American Red Cross  has  added
another  nurse  to   its   public  health _
nursing service.    This nurse is Miss *
Edith M.; Stoll a graduate o£ the But- \
falo general hospital, Buffalo,  N. Y.,
and  of  the  public; health   course in
; the University of Michigan.    Besides ,
i this   theoretical  training  Miss  Stoll ;
'. has   had   considerable  experience  ii '
; tbe nursing field and so 'domes to u-3 .
well prepared to assume the res-ions- ;
ibilities she has acccitad.    She will j
have  as  her territory 'tho vdtlage of !
3-cline. and .the townships of Pittsfie'd, j
Lodi, Webster and Scio. Being equip- :
ped with a Ford .toming ear will b; ,
able  to cover her  territory readi'y. '.
\i H~-:        '-,- ' lu   r-r th'-lj-   I
Rutin Rose 97-F3, 301 North Ann Ar- j
bor Street, who is the local shairmrai !
of the nursing work.
The   time    has    come    when    tho
American. Red Cross purposes to do -z& ,
home what was   done  abroad.    Dur- i
*• i
ing the draft nearly one-third of tl*e *
new   men   were   rejected  .beea.us? of j
physical defects.    The defects for tho i
most  part  preventable   and   if  thes-3 j
physical'ly   uniiit   men had   received ;
the proper attention and care in their •
childhood most of the defects would j
been overcome. j
Tlhe majority ot illness i.*> prevent- i
able and it is with this view that the
Red Cross has launched this tremendous peace program ' in assisting ;
America to become a iheailthy coun- \
try- and produce physically perfect ,
r_ien and women. !
Miss Stoll will not only work for ■
the prevention of disease but will !
render nursing cjire on the visit ba- ;
sis, wherever such .service is re-
pnested- This nursing service may :
f.      j*** jg Sj | consist of giving a bath, caring for a !
A   (..On?p{?f?\r:f3> I; new born baby, giving .a, massage and '
| i in -fact anything that may be of nurs-
§! ing   value.     She  will   at   all   times •
I  work  in co-operation with   the local ■
1; physicians.    If   she is    ciilled   to    a !
h • home where there its illness and nc *
§. doctor is in attendance, she will im- :
|'mediately   get  into  touch   with   the j
g! family  physician.     She   will    assist j
; the physicians in emergencies, oper- ■
_ ations or at the time of confinement, (
; if   her  services -are   requested.    She .
j will   answer   calls   from   the   plvysi- i
| cians or the family   where  the  ill- '
; ness may occur.
| You .are urged to call Miss Stoll,
| sho will go to any home, whether if*
* be rich or poor, Catholic or protes-
j tant, all nationalities, all ages and
\.-i\i diseases. If there is no illness i;'
! yem* home, get acquainted with her,
: for you ..never know when the *;me is
] coming when you may need her and
• certainly "an ounce pf prevention is
: better than a pound of cure." This,
nurse is furnished by -the Washtenay'
County Red Cross charter, receiving
a monthly salary and is consequently
free to give her time whenever needed. If you wish to pay for the nursing service rendered, you may do
g so by paying from ten cents to onp
1 dollar per visit. This money goss
into the general treasury of the Reel
Cross.
MICE AND BABBITS
B?ILL FBUIT TREES
Young    Orchards    Need    Protection
Against "Winter Injury by
Animals.
The trunks of young orchard trees
need careful proiection at this season"
of year against injury during the winter from mice and rabbits. Fruit tree
bark furnishes suah a iRatable fo2d
for these sm$Al animals ithat seriou-
loss is very likely to occur in orchards
that are not protected.
"Trees that have been grown in
sod or thait have corn shocks stacked
between the rows are particularly
liable to injury from mice," says Pro?
C. P. Halligan, head of the horticultural department eit the Michigan Ag-
riculturail college. "On the oilier
hand, trees that are in the neighborhood of ithickets or brush run the
same risk from rabbits.
"There is no patent paint or wash
that we can recommtend to apply to
trunks of trees to prevent such injury.
Many of the materials that are often
recommended are very likely to" injure the bark, The most desirable
protection of the trunks is given by
the use of %-inch mesh galvanized
screen. This should be wrapped
around the trunk and pressed into the
ground for- a depth of from .four to six
inches. It should extend up to the
frame-work branches.
"Protection of this kind will effectively stop the animals froni feeding.'
