Bohnenkamp Company THE CLINIC CLEARING HOUSE TUBERCULOUS CASES Fighting to Keep Homes S From Enemy as Dangerosu as German Bombs. 4 , 'i'lio city of Manchester. Muss., has a tuborculosls visiting nurse. Nut long ago a call came to her from a ro llof agency which had discovered In a dark tenement a woman and her children In a doplorablo condition. Th nurse found thoro a fumily of rour llvlns In three unhealed room.;, dirty and disorderly because the mothor was too weak to keen them clean. A little girl who Hlioulil have been at school was doing the house work and caring for the baby. The mother, bearing the ni.uk of ad vanced tuberculosis, was nursing the baby. When tho futlier came In the nurno dhicovorcd that his eyesight wa bad, which might nccoynt for hln balnz unablo to hold a job for any lcni;th of tl mo. A physician, called on tho advlco of the nurite, pronounced the woman an advanced consumptive. She must Btop miming the baby and go to a sanatorium. The nuruc know that thin meant that the care of the entire family would now be under her i;n pervlalon. She would hav to help MOTHER. WHO NEEDS NUaSES'AOVICE'AND.CARB the fatlior v t steady work and do what sihe could to save tho little one already expound to Infection. Thoro was no turiilns back from her renpon lilblllty. She i;ho-jlil.?red It, a3 she had In ninny a similar case, and bo Kan the slow work of putting tho family back cn Its feet. The visiting tuberculosis nurse, as this typical Instance shown. Is more than her name implies. Sho Is a fam ily organiser who must stop In and lako Ihe holm whllo tho breadwinner, or the family manager, Is under treat ment. The work of such a nurse Is dally becoming moro Important and com plex. War conditions have brought to light thousands of hitherto unsus pected cases of tuberculosis among men of draft age. Those men aro be ing sent back to their homes, where they must bo Instructed in tholr own care and in the protection of their families. If not bo Instructed they become a menace to those around them. Upon tho nurse falls much of this work. Sho Instructs them In the naturo of their disease, boos that they attend a clinic and helps them to get to a sanatorium if It is necessary. Tho tuberculosis visiting nurse Is In reality a, war nurse today, for she is fighting a desperate fight against a strongly Intrenched and insidious en emy within, which is making serious inroads on tho war strength at our peopls.

There was no hardship they were not willing to undergo. The distressing :;hortago of buttons and other sup plies embarrassed them, but they went ahead villi lofty courage. They were animated by love of our couu tiy, alfoclion for our soldier, hoys am! r. desire to be of actual Bervice in relieving the suffering caused by ri i;;lit t';il war; also they were deter mined Union County should do its full share in tho lOiroITmont of mem bers in reaponsu to the appeal of I'resideat Vt!:!nn asking every man and woman io join tho llod Cross. Tho reiulia In Union county speak for themselves. To your heroic workers belong:: the credit. It was individual work like this all over our state that won a;:ain for Oregon the proud disinction of being among the foremost states or our Union In pat riotic achievement. No mere letter of thanks can con vey to your workers nuythini; like the credit that is their duo. Their de votion demonstrates that they were not strivinp: for personal credit. Their rich reward is in the consciousness of sacrifice made and duty done, but in behalf of the Northwestern Divis ion Campaign Committee, will you kindly convey to each and nil of them, throur.h any channel that may be available, (he deep sense of ap pronation felt at Division and Slate llondiiuartcrs for their devoted ser vice.

A now trick In bootlegging camouflage was uncovered horo at the trial of H. Earl Jeffries on a charge of importing litiuor. Some days ugo Shoriff Taylor con fiscated a trunk at euch of the two railway Btatlons here and arrested Jeffries as the owner of both. When one of the trunks was opened in the court room today it was found to be full of bottled liquor, but, In each cor nor of tho top tray, wus packed a cigar box containing a few marbles.
