GOOD WORK FOR THE SICK
VISITIXG NURSE ASSOCIATION IE
SIEVES MUCH DISTRESS.
Bnt It Needs Funds to' Carry ea Its
Labors WhatJKas Beea
. w Done.
Since Its organization In April the Vis
iting Nurse Association of Portland has
"been quietly -working and helping, and has
demonstrated to its mends ana support
4m tho urcent need for its 'existence,
At a meeting of the Board of Directors
hoi nt the residence of Mrs. H. L. Cor-
fcett on September 11. the following report
was given of cases visited.:
One consumption, one pneumonia, one
bronchitis, one blood poisoning, three mis
carriage, one spinal meningitis, one in
flammatory rheumatism, one cancer, one
complications, one -confinement, one ma
larial fever, one dropsy of the heart, one
ali stones, one rheumatic fever, two
character not reported when report -was
"written, -with a total of 175 "visits made.
In a majority of the cases, the patients
fwero seriously ill and required many
visits, while some needed only the com
forting attentions of the nurse, or needed
Sier only to give the -weary mother or
feister or tho ever sympatneuc nei&uuu.
nnnrtun!tv for much-needed rest
Only those who are familiar with, the
fcondiUons- in the homes of those who can
Lot afford trained service can form any
Idea of the great relief. which is brought
to the suffering ones by the nurse.
(To the little girl brought to death's door
by pneumonia, to the boy vrno oies ui
eplnal meningitis, and to the cancer pa
tient, -whoso last hours of intense suffer
ing -were made easier to bear .by her pres
ence, the nurso has indeed been an angel
at mercy.
la one home -where it -was necessary to
observe a certain measure of quarantine,
the remained on duty four days and five
Bights, giving the same conscientious
care that she would have given had her
patient been a private charge and the
daughter of a millionaire. Pain levels all
barriers, and the nurse recognizes her
ftuty -whether it be in a little shack on
the East Side, through the cracks of
which she could see the stars at night, in
B. scow on the river, or In the comfort
able homes to which she has been sent
la an emergency case.
I For the calls on the association have not
been confined to the free list; in a num
ber of cases where but an hour or two
a day -were required for such attention
as only trained service can render, -or
Where "the physician needs assistance In
surgical cast's, the association has cheer
fully responded to the demand upon it,
the money thus earned making provision
for those less fortunately situated.
It has also been helpful in families who
land it Impossible to pay for the exclu
sive service of the regular nurse, but
-where skilled assistance for a certain
length of time each day waa not too
heavy a strain on the family purse, and
also furnished the necessary relief to the
overburdened -wife, or sister, or husband.
In several, instances the nurse found the
husband staying away from his -work to
care for the sick wife, and a sister, the
only breadwinner, in another case, obliged
to give up her work to care for an invalid
brother, and the relief brought by the ad
tvent of the nurse can be easily imagined.
In one case which was reported to the
association the mother was found to be in
ned of an immediate operation. With
live little children to feed the hus
band's wages In his new position not yet
due strangers in the city, the mother try
ing to earn a little money by doing wash
ing, sewing or fancy work between her
paroxysms of pain, the association found
work for it to do. St. Vincent's Hospital
xjpened its dojsrs to the mother, one of
Portland's most skillful surgeons per
formed the operation, and with the chil
dren happy and contented In the Chil
dren's Home awaiting their mother's re
covery, the future locks bright and hope
ful to the family, which a few weeks
ago saw nothing ahead but suffering and
despair. It Is for such work as this that
the association is organized, and for
which it needs the support of Portland's
citizens. At present it is able to employ
but one nurse at a time, but with added
teubscrlptions its field of usefulness will
e evident
That there is a necessity for such an
jorganizatlon Jn this city the experience of
'the past three months has proved beyond
question, and it should have the most
generous support It is no longer an ex
periment In all the larger cities we find
Mslting nurses' associations among the
institutions recognized as indispensable.
fChlcago supports an association with 14
regular nurses, the expenses of some of
the latter being borne entirely by prom
inent women Mrs. F. O. Louden, Mrs. H.
C. Chatflcld-Taylor, Mrs. Harold McCor
xnick, and others. The Chrysolite Club
and the Evanston Woman's Club each
(contributes the services of one nurse.
r In addition to the force of regular
Burses, it supports an emergency" corps- of
CO -women, who are not regularly trained
nurses. This department the Portland
organization hopes to Include as soon as
it has the necessary funds.
The association feels especially fortun
ate iii having on Its staff as nurses Mrs.
Ipucy Morgan and Miss Lang, who are
both too well lenown to their profession
a need additional -words of praise. A
saessage sent to either of the nurses at
the Newcastle, corner of Third and Har
alson, will receive immediate attention.
The board of directors, including offi
cers, is as follows: President Mrs.
Btephen S. Wise; vice-president Mrs.
Alexander A. Morrison; secretary. Miss
ITasserman: treasurer, Mrs. J. N. Teal
Sirs. H. Corbett Miss H. Falling, Mrs.
22. P- Hill. Mrs. J. Laldlaw. Mrs. B. H.
ECrumbull, Mrs. A. Meier, Mrs. J. Cram.
Thus far the work, has been possible
owing to a few generous contributors and
. comparatively small number of mem
bers, hut the board of directors desires to
bring a few of the details of the nursing
before the people, hoping that those who
can will feel Impelled to respond to the
call for further subscriptions and dona
- Hons, in order that all of the sick poor
may receive -that nursing in their own
Some which is a blessing and relief that
can be but Imperfectly understood by
hose who have not observed the nurse
in her daily visits.
Subscriptions and donations may be ent
to Mrs. S. S. Wise, 233 N. Twenty-fourth
etreet, or Mrs. J. K. Teal, 231 N. Twenty
fourth street . COMMITTEE.

ALL BECOME GOOD CITIZENS
Romnnnlnn Jews Jn Portland Are In
dus trio as and Prosperous.
The record made by the Roumanian
Jews who settled in Portland after being
driven from their own country does not
exactly- agree with the description of
their class by Secretary of State John
Hay as undesirable Immigrants, for they
have all proved Industrious, thrifty citi
zens. Through the intervention of the Inde
pendent Order of B'Nai B'rlth, of New
York, which gave b'ond that none of
them should- become paupers. 30 Rouman-.
Ian Jews were sent to Portland. Every
one of them Is earning a- good living,
some as tailors, others as tinsmiths, cop
persmiths, woodcarvers and cabinetmak
ers, while one has gone to. San Francisco
to work at the Union Iron Works, and
another is preparing to open a store in
Portland.
One man did so well that he sent for
his family, which Included two girls,. 1?
and 18 years old. Both, of these" married
well within a few months after their arrival.
KILLING OFF THE RABBITS
Umatilla County "Will Keep Up Its
Annual Drives of Bnnnles.
"We ha-e had a couple of rabbit drives
in Umatilla County during the last Win
ter," said L. B. Reeder, of Pendleton, at
the Perkins yesterday, "but there Is ma
terial for several more In order to keep
down the pests. They are mostly In the
sagebrush country In the southwestern
part of tho county, and do not trouble the
wheat country much. They do the worst
damage in Winter, when the snow pre
vents them from finding food In the open
country. , Then they go for the farms and
orchards along the Umatilla River and
Butter Creek and strip the trees of bark
and destroy vegetation.
"The drives in the Winter at least serve
the purpose of keeping them down by
killing off a number before the natural In
crease In the Spring."

Why Do You Neglect Your Teeth?
You can never have another set, and by attending promptly to every defect, you save
money and protect your health. It is little short of being criminal to allow good teeth to decay that, at a small
expense and without suffering the slightest pain, can be made to perform all of the functions imposed by nature.
Bad teeth means bad health, bad breath, an unsightly; appearance. Teeth attract more attention than any other feature in the face
Painless
Dentistry
Now that It Is generally un
derstood that wc are ahle to
perform all kinds of dental
work without Inflicting the
slightest pain, It is surprising
the number of people who
call to have work done who
had for years neglected their
teeth, owing to the fear so
prevalent amongst all classes
of the old-fashioned dentist.
The people want up-to-date,
progressive work, and wo
supply the want. Ask any of
our paUents.
