WILL YOU HOLD YOUR HEAD UP PROUDLY WHEN THEY

COME HOME?

(By Bruce Barton.)

I lifted the receiver of the telephone, and almost dropped it again in surprise. For the voice was that of my good old friend, and I supposed him far away in France.

“What, back so soon?” I exclaimed. “Detailed for special duty?”

“Yes, back,” he answered; and it struck me that his voice was slow and older, as though the weeks of his absence had been years. “Back — but not for special duty. There — there is another reason.”

And then I knew that he must be wounded.

Wounded — while here at home, I still pursued my ordinary course. Wounded — to protect my home. Wounded — to keep my children safe.

It came over me of a sudden, as it never had before, that I am a debtor to him to an amount that I can never repay.

They will all be coming back before long. Some wounded; some grown strangely old. But most of them well and normal enough, thank God.

And we still stand along the sidewalks to see them pass. How shall we feel that day, I wonder.

Will their eyes say to us, “We were hungry for a bit of sweet, and you did not think to send it.”

“We were cold and you let the hut fires die; we were lonesome, and the movies stopped because there were no funds to carry on.”

Will that be the message of their eyes to us?

Or shall we stand confidently in their presence, greeting them as men who have nothing to repent.

— as men who in their absence gave freely of wealth and time, that there might be warmth and cheer and comfort over there?

They are coming back some day — perhaps before we think.

And what will be the message of their eyes to you?

Six Nurses with Nine Aides Are Now Caring for Patients at Emer-

gency Hospital — Full

Time Needed.

_

An appeal for help — those who can devote all of their time to caring for the patients and aiding in other work at the emergency hospital — is being sent out by J. D. Donovan, manager. Mr. Donovan in an interview this afternoon stated that the need of help at the institution was great, but those who are able to devote at least eight hours of their time to the duties to which they are assigned are preferred.

He stated that while the offers of those who were willing to work two or three hours each day were appreciated, what is most urgent at the present time is some on to relieve those who are on duty and can be at the post from eight to 12 hours.

Six nurses have reported for duty, but two of these have been unable to be at their post today on account of illness. The nurses are working 12 hours each day, and are assisted by nin aides, who are at their post eight hours. In addition to the above there are five aides and orderlies who are giving a portion of their time, the honor roll being made up as follows.

KEEP WELL!

HOW TO AVOID INFLUENZA

RULES FOR THOSE AT WORK

Walk to work if possible.

Avoid the person who coughs or sneezes.

Wash your hands before eating.

Make full use of all available sunshine.

Do not use a common towel. It spreads disease.

Should you cough or sneeze, cover nose and mouth with a handkerchief.

Keep out of crowded places. Walk in the open air rather than go to crowded places of amusement.

Sleep is necessary for well-being — avoid over-exertion. Eat good, clean food.

Keep away from houses where there are cases of influenza.

If is, no matter how slightly, see a physician.

If you have had influenza, stay in bed until your doctor says you can safely get up.

Rules for Everyone to Follow.

If you feel a sudden chill, followed by muscular pain, headache, backache, unusual tiredness and fever, go to bed at once and send for a doctor.

See that there is enough bed clothing to keep you warm.

Open all windows in your bedroom and keep them open at all times, except rainy weather.

Take medicine to open the bowels freely.

Take some nourishing food such as milk, egg and milk or broth, every four hours.

Stay in bed until a physician tells you that it is safe to get up.

Allow no one else to sleep in the same room.

Protect others by sneezing and coughing into handkerchiefs, or clothes, which should be boiled or burned.

Insist that whoever gives you water or food or enters the sick room for any other purpose shall wear a gauze mask, which may be obtained from the Red Cross or may be made at home of four to six folds of gauze and which should cover the nose and mouth and be tied behind the head.

Remember that these masks must be kept clean, must be put on outside the sick room, must not be handled after they are tied on and must be boiled 30 minutes and thoroughly dried every time they are taken off. — Instructions prepared by Mass. State Dept. of Health
