Mrs.CAB.RiE WiiaJAMS.Overpeck, Ohio.
For moro than forty years Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has
been restoring women to health who
suffered from irregularities, displace
ments, backaches, headaches, bearing;
downpains,nervousnessor the blues.
Today there is hardly a town or hamlet
in the United States wherein some
woman does not reside who has been
made well bv it. That is why Lydia L.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is now
recognized as the standard remedy for
yuch ailments. ;
aniined at clinics show Improvement
by follow-up work.
During the past year the former
nurse, Mrs. I.ee nursed 29 patients
during the Influenza epidemic at Hutte
Falls. .
The present nurse besan' her duties
the 5th of June, 1921. One week in
June was spent in Portland and salem
visiting the various state institutions !
and relief 'organizations. " '!
Personal visits wore made to all doc
tors In the county.
With the aid of the Red Cross and
other' agencies, food, clothing and sup
plies have been j?Ivcn to -20 Jaipllles.
Tho Colony club lias promised to
supply the Loan Closet-for one year.
Visits have been made to all the
packing houses where women are em
ployed and recommendations made for
bettw sanitation, first aid .supplies,
sanitary serviettes, etc. In1 all in
stances were the recommendations
kindly received and Improvements
made.
Four layettes secured for expectant,
mothers.
Two days' spent at County Fair at
Ashland where nurse had rest room
and talked with mothers. J
Two days spent at County School
Fair in Medford where nurse had a
rest room, distributed literature and
gave a demonstration on the care of
the baby's nursing bottle, showing the
proper und Improper kind, etc, .
Nurse attended tho conference at
Portland July 1-2-3. This was the first
annual conference of the public health
workers of Oregon. Nurse attended n
conference of the committee on health
and hygiene held at Portland, Oct. 2.
Tho meeting of this committee' was
called by the O. S. T. A.
During the past few months special
stress has been laid upon the school
work and the home follow-up work and
thru the courtesy and interest of the
Red Cross, the services of Miss Mar
garet Van Scoyoc have been given to
the Jackson County Public Health
association, who in connection with
her work in home nursing classes held
thruout the county, has assisted the
county nurse in the work in tho Ash
land and Medford schools. Miss Van
Scoyoo has done soriie very Intensive
school and follow-up work, which her
own report will Bhow
Efforts have beet) made to, reach as
many schools as possible, but owing to
the trouble in the way of transporta
tion, bad roads,, etc., this work has
been somewhat retarded. ,
Whenever the nurse has visited a
school inspection ot; the building, toi
lets, the. lighting and heating system
and the general condition of the school
has been made and a report sent to
the county superintendent of schools.
An attempt has been made to establish
the health crusade work, thereby in
stilling in the minds of the children
habits ot health and hygiene. Very
good, results have been obtained in this
respect, as reports from the county
superintendent of schools and the
county supervisor of schools and the
various teachers, as well as from the
parents of the' children show.
Efforts have been made to reach, and
bring any help possible to those in
isolated districts who are ill or in any
way needing the attention or the help
of the nurse. '': ,j '
Owing to the confidential nature of
the work of the nurse it is Impossible
to give a full account of the work done,
as the citing of cases would betray the
very confidence she tries first of all
to win and which brings her into the
very position where she can best help
them. i
During the past year two patients
have been placed in the T. B. San. at
Salem. -
One child has been taken'' from a
home where . the parents were both
mentally and physically unable to care
for the child and placed In a good per
manent home. , ,
Arrangements are under way where
by two mentall ydeflclent children will
be sent to" the Home for the Feeble
Minded nt Salem.
A permanent health centre has been
established at Ashland where . the
nurse meets with mothers once each
month for weighing and measure of
children and for consultation
This completes the work of .the past
year. . '
I wish at this time to express my
appreciation to Miss Van Scoyoc for
her splendid work and hearty co-opera
tion in the school work, to the Red
Cross for their assistance and interest
thruout the year; to Miss Pool who
has assisted with the nutrition work
at the clinics and to the doctors who
have given so freely of their time in
the clinics, free examination and treat
ment of patients, as well as to the var
ious churches and individuals thruout
the county. . '
During tho coming year we are look
ing forward to a much wider field of
usefulness' along the lines of public
health.
We are planning to open a public
health centre in Medford. Also we
feel the time has come when both Ash
land and Medford are In need of a
community nurse and we hope to bring
(his about during the next few months.
In the stress of hard times, which
this Inst winter has brought to the
different communities, there has been
hmucht out tho need for a free bed In
the various centres where hospitals
are located and it is the hope of the
association to plan some way whereby
this can be accomplished. .
We might well take for our motto
It's -not always the tired, worn out
business men who are most in need
of a guotl comedy to soothe their tired
nervcn, women urealso entitled lo a
tdiure of southing and nfti-r u hard
clay of housework, or shopping, both
men and women refresh themselves
by looking over the biltbonrdH on Ihetr
way. home, or nt the playhouse ads in
the paper, and if there is one name

in this city last( winter, once with
Karl KiU'hic, a ; Klamath Falls pu
gilist, and once' .with Joe Bonds of
Tacoma, Wn., did not last long In his
first appearance in New York, ac
cording to the following from the
New York Times of February 10:
" The boys umtor the roof had
scarcely stopped' 1 dlscusMing this bit
of gossip than they'ljad more to talk
about In the' secoml 'mix-up, that be
tween Homer Smith, of Kalamazoo,
and Wild Bill Held, of California,
weighing 188 and 188 respectively.
They went at It like a couple of wild
men, both showing fast lefts and
heavy rights, and they used the same
tactics, first a left Jab and then a
right to the jaw. Smith had tle first
round. Held touk Jho second, and the
third ,was about .cyen. Thep came
tho fourth and a bloody ending for j
Wild mil.
In the third a stiff rlht swing had
drawn a trickle of blood from Hold's
left ear, and while the men were in
a clinch near the ropes In the fourth,
Heid suddenly dropped," his ' knees
buckling as he crumpled to the floor
At tho same Instant a gush of blood
came from Wild Bill's injured car,
What had happened was this: Held
had dropped "out"- without 'a blow
being struck. Tho Hiulden rush of
blood from his cauliflowered ear had
weakened him so that he collapsed."
