WOcTWEN'S WORjK
One of the tnoit effective philanthro-
, plea In Portland la that of tha Visiting
. Nurae association. And to form an ade
quate Idea of lta working . on. must ac
company tha nurse on her rounds. Day
after day. from one end of town to the
other, aha goes on her errana or neiprui
- ness. Very often the condition of her
patient la auch that aha doea not leave
' him. and the night, aa wall aa the day,
la BD.nt In carina; for him. Or If the
: caae can be left In the handa of an ex
perienced nurae. not a trained nurae,
the association provldee one.
This particular phase of the work haa
frown beyond the ability of the organi
sation to aupply the demand. There are
' ao many caafes to which the trained
. nurae can bring her training In its su
pervision, leaving the patient In charge
of one who can give the medicine proper
ly, tidy up the room and prepare the
patient's meals. And to meet this de
mand, the society will employ a nure"a
- assistant, who la trained In this supple
mentary work.
While the drat vlalta to the patient
will alwaya be made b the nurae her
self, It has been found that the aecond-
, ary work of thw aaslatant ia no leas Im
portant, and to thla end, the aoclety la
making the experiment
It haa been found a difficult matter
to aupply the demand for houaehold help.
It ao often happen, that the housekeeper.
the mother, the older alater, aa the ease
may be, is the sick one. and that with
the nurae to care for the patient some
one is needed to look after the family
and do the scrubbing, the washing and
the cooking. It has been Impossible In
many cases to find someone who Is will
ing to do their work. In time, the funds
of the association will warrant keeping
this class of help on start, but at pres
ent It Is obliged to depend on 'opportu
nity.
The nurse In her visits, to the sick of
our city, does not confine herself to the
nursing. No one comes In such close
conflict with the effects of poverty, dis
sipation, shlftlessness, and crime, aa
doea the Visiting Nurse association.
through ".the trained nurse and
friendly rlattora. The nurse atanda aa
nurae, teacher and advlaer to her pa
tients, soothing their pain, teaching
them the value of.,cleanllnesa, of sani
tary lawa, and how to care for their own
sick ones. And, again, many of the pa
tients are more In need of a mental and
moral bracing up, than of actual media
cine.
Speaking' of sanitary conditions, no
workers feel greater need for efficient
Inspection along thla line than those
connected with the Visiting Nurse as
sociation. Inside of a year, the third
typhoid patient has been reported from
a certain tenement houae in Alblna, and
It Is found on investigation that the
closets are overflowing, that the halls
and stairways are seldom swept, that the
landlord continues to bury the garbage
In the back yard, In spite of repeated
warnings from the health department.
, The nurae feels justified In ordering
her patient to the county hospital. And
this brings to the front the absolute
necessity for a public hospital other
than that on top of the hill, three tnllea
from town. That a city of the slie and
the wealth of Portland should ao inade
quately provide for Its alck la little ahort
of disgraceful.' .St. Vlncent'a and the
Good Samaritan have been most generous
in placing their hospital accommodations
at the command of the Visiting Nurse
association, but even with all this as
.(stance more Is needed, and In the same
paragraph to note the need of a children's
hospital would. I am sure, call forth
gaspa of astonishment. What Is needed
In our city la a free hospital, easy of ac
cess, witn a separate building not a
separate ward for children. Coming In
contact with cases, day after day, whose
Improvement Is retarded by lack of
proper care and treatment, the Visiting
Nurse association has fully demon
strated the Inadequacy of hospital service
In the city.
The association has dreams of still
greater uaefulness In Its field of activity
of being able to provide Jfurses to aid

BECEFTIOH BY CLUB WOMIH.
The reception to Governor and Mrs.
Chamberlain and to ex-Governor and
Mrs. Geer, arranged by the Woman's
Club of Pendleton, was one of the most
notable social affairs ever undertaken
by the club women of the state. Music
hall was magnificently and appropriately
decorated In alfalfa, wild rye, sage brush
and bunch grass.- Gorgeously colored
Indian blankets were used to cover
the seats which lent a richness and glow
to general effects. A very handsome
screen, created of American flags with
a huge stuffed eagle shielded the musi
cians. The center of the hall was made
attractive by beautiful palms about
which were placed couches covered with
Indian robes. Here the receiving party
stood in the following order: Senator
C, 3. Smith was first in line introducing
Governor Chamberlain, followed by Mrs.
T. G. Halley, who presented the guests
to Mrs. Chamberlain. Then came Mra.
G. A. Hartman, introducing Mrs. T. T.
Geer, 'followed by Mrs. C B. Wade,
Mrs. Walter Pierce, Judge and Mrs. Kl-i

Seattle, and Is proving a most thorough
course in the selecting, cooking and serv

Charcoal is a remedy that the more

drug at all, but simply' absorbs the
gases ana impurities always present in
the stomach and Intestines and carries
them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after

ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually- clears and Inv

are composed of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal, and other harmless

honey. "" ; .
The daily use, of these lozenges will
soon tell In a much improved condition
of the general health, better complexion,
sweeter breath and purer blood, and the
beauty of it Is, that no possible harm
can result from their continued use, but,
on the contrary, great benefit.
A Buffalo physician, in speaking of
the benefits' of charcoal, says: "I ad

patients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels, and to clear the complexion
and purify the breath., mouth and
throat; I also believe the liver s
greatly benefited by the dally use of
them; they cost but twenty-five cents a
box ' at drug stores, and - although In
some sense a patent preparation, yet I
believe I get more and better charcoal
In Stuart's Absorbent Losenges than In
any of the ordinary charcoal tablets.'
next program of the Portland Woman's
club. Friday. November 27. From the
manner in which the calendar, the social
and the decorating committees have been
holding "close communion" of late,
something out of the ordinary is antic
ipated. Many of the members have been
besieged for Invitations, and a large at
tendance Is expected. The members have
the privilege, under certain conditions,
to Invite any or as many membera as
they desire to bring. Aside from the
"Japanese Garden," which haa excited so
much curiosity, a very fine program haa
been prepared. The topic will be "Home
Life In the Orient." Japan by Mrs.
Denny; India by Mrs. P. J. Mann; The
Philippines by Mrs. Wynn Johnson
There will also be some fine musical
numbers. Altogether it is looked for

XB. XABTTB'S LECTTTBE.
The federated clubs of Portland have
engaged Dr. Martin of Tacoma to de
liver a lecture on "Rabbi Ben Ezra,"
December 7. It will be given in the
afternoon at an hour that will suit the
convenience .of as many of the club
members as possible. The place of
holding the meeting will probably be in
the Selllng-Hirach hall, but the time
and place are to be definitely announced
later. This early notice is given that
there may be no excuse of a "previous
engagement" offered for non-attendance
by club women. This will be the first
lecture of the winter arranged by the
lecture committee of the city federa
tion and upon its success or failure very
largely depends future endeavor of this
kind.
Dr. Marttn Is so well known that hls'l
lectures do not need tire widest adver
tisement and there should be no ques
tion about a crowded house if the club
women of the city do their duty. Poor
attendance would be a reflection upon
the Intelligence of Portland'a literary
people.

New York. Philadelphia, Buffalo and Loa
Angeles, where nurses are on the perma

Public sentiment in Portland Is making
rapid strides. A year ago nay, only last
March the Idea of medical Inspection of
our public schools was scoffed at, and
now we 11 nil those same scoffers applaud
ing the efforts of the state board of
health In that direction. In The Journal
of a week ago waa published an article
giving an account of the work of the
medical inspectors and the nurses In
tha New York schools.
The nurse association Is doing good
work In lta light against tuberculosis.
When the nurse llmls a consumptive
patient nli'epliiR In a mom with the other
members of the family she Is Justified
at feeling alarmed for the health of the
community. If the diffuse wi re smallpox

out to the pesthouse, but this dread dis

Indifference of the other half. A vigorous
campaign should be Inaugurated Im
mediately against the white plugue.
And again to the front comes the
hospital question this time an Isolation

tion. Imagine, If you can, a small room,

the state board of health In Its fight
against this Awful disease.

there are not nearly aa many widows

Addams counted 2,600 working children
In one Industrial center, only 66 of
whom were children of widows, and
only a proportion of these children of
very poor widows. Apparently, the club
