(Special.) ; The new switchboard for the Entor priBO telephone exchange arrived from Chicago this week, says the Record Chieftain, and will be set up as soon as the workmen of the Home Inde pendent Telephone comrany an' Rct . to it. It will be in position in a few days in the new office of the com pany, tho old postoffice huiidinf;, and the -public is invited to step in and inspect it. Other supplies and new equipment have been received and the company hopes to shift over and pat thorn ir. service about the first of February. S. I). Crowe, general manager of the company, will be here for n couple of weeks before and after the change, making arrangements with patrons for installation of new eqnivMOPnt an;! Wjusting the new rates that will conic with the change. In the new system, which i3 the same as used in all larger tov a an-! cities, there will be r.o crr.r',;s to turn at each instrument. Lifuv? anJ. re turning the receiver gives the siKi'i-':-to the operator. The ir.st.-ulati.ir. r.r the system will call for somewhat The eyes of the world today are uirncd upon the farmer, He Is ex pected to keep the nations supplied with food for the bodies of their fight ing men and at the same time to seo that tho nonflghtors are fed so they can back up the men In the trenches with the necessities of life. But all too seldom do we hear any me worrying about his living condl tlons. The city worker can turn to tho health authorities, tho housing commission or the various charity boards for aid in time of need, but tho farmer, If sickness or misfortune comes, must fight It out for himself with the aid ot the ovorworltod fam ily doctor, with his long miles of country to cover, who Is often called too late. Until recently little was ielng done to better these conditions. The Nursing Committee of the Council of National Defense and the Town and Country Nursing Service it the Red Cross, however, believe that It should concern the public deeply to keep the farmer In proper health and give him as far as possible equal advantages with the city resi dent In health teaching and supervi sion. Therefore they are urging the need of rural nurses to visit In farm ing communities and small towns and get closo to the people, studying their needs, and riieetlng them. The Town and Country Nursing Service of the Red Cross, with nurses Scattered about the rural sections throughout the country, Is doing Its utmost to help the small town resi dent, and many rural nurses connect ed with county boards of health or with local health associations are striving to keep the farmer fit to per form his patriotic duty. But the nurses In this field are a mere hand ful considered in the light of the need !or them.

TENEMENT - WHERE. A. NURSE IS NEEDED nurses In telling her experience says that hor work waB by no means con fined to the poor and destitute. To Illustrate, , one day sho visited the home of a Granger and was refused admittance. That did not discourage her, however.-. The very next dayfiio went back, and aUor a bit of parley at the door she was allowed to come In. It was not very long before the nurse was at tho bedside of the sick daughter, carefully instructing tho mother in the bedside care of tho pa tient. Another case was that of a child very seriously burned. The mother did not know how fo dress the wounds, and the doctor could not take the time to teach hor. But the nurse ipent a whole hour removing the bandages that the doctor had pulled off In a few minutes. Can you imag ine the difference In the feelings of the patient aid Itsi mother? i i-ii-i i Where, for Instance, could there he a greater need for service than In this family reported thus by tho nurse: "Tho oldest boy went to Jail Friday, the next boy broke his leg the sums day, the father Is out ot work, the mother Is deaf and the little plri tis epilepsy." This nurse Induced school cuthorl- ilea to clean up school buildings and school toilets. Sho called attention to open sowers. , She saw that ade noids and tonsils were removed in a number of children and nmdo ar .rangemcnta so that, these operations could- be performed at . moderate ex pcimo to the parents. . - The value ot this rural nursing may bo appreciated from the results la New York state, where In the last ton years the death rate In the rural communities has decreased from 10.5 to 15 per thousand. The Inadequacy of the work so far done, however, is shown by the fact' that during the same period New-jyork city, which has a woll organized -public 'nursing service, has reduced Its death rate from 18 to 13.9.MO other words, New York city's rate ten years ago was 10 per cent, above tho rural rate, while It is now 7 per cen'C. lower, a Nowthatntha'Bovarnment-'has -established sanitary zones abuut Its training camps and that nurses are being held Jointly responsible with physicians for the community health In these zones, the need for nurses trained In rural work Is Increasing.
