Tliowe who register In the Deferred class will be ! assigned only after the Preferred ; class is exhausted. j Tho government relies on 'the pa-triotism o those who enroll to fill out Preferred cards if they possibly can, thus volunteering to go where they !are most needed. Nobody will be assigned to any Bchools whoso conditions of training are not approved 'by the State Board of Nurse Examiners. ' ' Terms of Training. The term of training varies from two td three year?, according to the requirements of the particular scliool to which the student nurse may be sent. No course takes less thun two years uor more than three. , What tha Training Course Prepares For. At present every woman who completes satisfactorily her training in any accredited school is eligible for service as an Army nurse at the front and stands a chance of being assigned to duty abroad. At the larae time she will be qualified to earn her liv-ing in one of the noblest professions open to women. It should bo remem-bered, furthermore, that her useful-ness will begin not when she gradu-ates from the training school but as soon as she enters it. Practical nurs-ing work is a part of the work of every training Bchool, and the student nurse is not. only learning to serve but serving her country from the very The government is calling for 25,- -' 000 young women to join the1 United States Student Nurse Reserve and hold themselves in readiness to train for service as nurses. , The war is creating an unprecedent-e- d demand for trained nurses. Only those who have taken the full train-ing course are eligible for service with our forces overseas. These nurses are being drawn largely from our hospitals at home. Their places must be filled by student nurses en-rolled for the full training cqurse of from two to three years. Eveiy young woman wlfo enrolls in the United States Student Nurse Reserve is re-leasing a nurse for service at the front, T.nd swelling tha home army which we must rely on to act as our second line of hospital defense. Upon the health of the American people will de-pend the spirit of their fighting forces. Age The call is for women be-tween the ages of 19 and 35. Qualifications Intelligent, responsi-ble women of good education and of sound health are wanted the pick of the country. A college education is a valuable asset, and many hospitals will give credit for it. Credit will also be given for a special scientific equipment or for preliminary training in nursing, ,such as that given in spe-cial courses now being conducted by various colleges and schools. Some schools, on the other hand, do not even require a full high school edu-cation. ! outset Finances. The student nurse ! gets her boird, lodging, and, tuition free at - practically every training school, and in most cases receives a small re- - Ji munemtionto cover the cost of the I books and uniforms. After gradua- - t!on she has an earning capacity of B from $100 to $300 a month. Private B duty nurses now receive an average B of from $00 to $120 a month together with board while on duty; institution B nurses from $50 to $2.50 a, month to-- B gether with board, lodging, and laun- - fl dry; and public health nurses from fl $100 to $250 a month without main- - fl tenance. There is no danger of the I earning capacity of nurses being low- - fl Enrollment Women will be given an opportunity to enroll in the United States Student Nurse Reserve in any one of three ways: (1) As engaging to hold themselves in readiness until April 1, 1919. to ac-cept assignments to nurees training schools. These women will be sTt to the schools as fast as vacancies occur. Those of superior qualificat-ions. 'will be given preference,, and it is, of course, possible that not every-one who enrolls will ba accepted. (2) As desiring to become candi-dates for the Army Nursing .School re-cently established by authority of the War Department, with branch schools In selected military hospitals. (3) As engaging to hold themselves in readiness until April 1, 1919 to ac-cept assignments to either a civilian training school or the Army Nursing School. Those who so enrolled will be called where tho first need arises. The government hopes that a major-ity of those who enroll will thus put down their names for both. The Nurses Training Schools There are 1,579 nurses training schools in this country. Their need is as great and imperative as that of the Army School ,of Nursing. Those who' enroll for these schools will be assigned as vacancies occur. The enrqllment card will indicate two classes of registrants Preferred and Deferred. The Preferred class willbe those who are ready to accept assignment to whatever hospital the government directs them, although they may state what training school they prefer to be sent to. Those who register In the Preferred clars will be assigned first, and all possible consid-eration will be given to their prefer-ence as stated. The iDeferred class is composed of those who limit .their pledge-- of service that Is, who will not enRage to go except to .certain pfwpltaK This class Is intended very largely for thos who, for family rea-sons, can not accept training at a ered after the war enas on account oi the great number who will then be qualified for the profession; the coun-try will need all the nurses that can be trained, not oiJy during the war but after it, especially for reconstruc-tion work. Even if the war ends with-in three years, every student nurse will be able to complete her training and will be needed. An Honorable Service. 'Ever since the days of Florence Nightingale the nursing profession has been one of especial honor. It was never so hon-orable as it is today. The Army needs evejj' nurse it can get to "keep up with the draft." The United States Student Nurse Reserve is the equivalent for women of the great National Army training camps for sol-diers. The government will rely on the studpnt nurses to fight disease at home, to care for those injured and disabled in our hazardous war. indus-tries, and to make themselves ready to serve when the time comes as fully trained nurses, either abroad or at home. Let us show that we know how to answer the government's call to the women of the country.

SHERIFF RESTmCTSQFFEE HOUSES in last Friday and issued an order Sheriff Corless was effect detrimentally the coffee, houses to his deputies which will ' that the- - coffee houses should no . His order SngS SXy American understand tha this order ' ' relative to the environ-Te- nt made because of unfavorable reports which is said tove a deleterious effect on the morals of It is a well known fact that the girls ' the fhefdSi' the coffee houses and without them ' are the bukesTwiH dindle to a1 point where it will be unprofitable ' ' to the operators. ; 'The patron? of the coffee houses are men, and according to ' those who hav made complaints; the girls so employed associate only with met and are excluded from fashionable society. This is sdd'.to produce a laxity 'of morals, and as many of the ' Srls young and unspohisticated; they areeasily deflected are from the paths of rectitude into the channels of vice. , One of attractions the coffee house holds out to girls who are young and Pretty is that of good wages. They can secure more money at these Places than in many of the other avocations But those oppose' the employment of American girls at these - estab-liients point out that it is at these places where young girls ire grilled and made ready for a life of degradation, and that in-stances of white slavery have been brought to light along this .' One case in this connection, according to reports, was where a young girl from a neighboring town, perhaps 17, was induced into service in short order. Months ago this girl had a sweet-- " heart to whom she was engaged to be married, but not long since , v her sweetheart was drafted and sentto France. On account of '" ..domestic affairs her home life was incompatible and she had a desire to get out and work for, herself. Then she met a man, o..r.t nf hit Htizfmshin. was not liable for military ' service and he brought her to Copperfield to work in a coffee house at $25 a week. But according to reports, that was not making money fast enough for her general manager and on the Fourth of July, when the anniversary of the birth of the nation was being celebrated, he transferred, her to a sporting house. It is said that she was terribly afraid of him. Not many day ago, this man was brought into court, but it seems that evidence showing white slavery could not be had and he was given a line and sent out of town. The girl had already left town. ' , "It is said that cases of this kind was partly responsible for . the action taken by the sheriff. What effect this will have and whether or not the order. will be carried out will become known as time passes on. ' , ' ' GOLD MINING AND WlVR PRICES . - ; The world is threatened with a gold scarcity and the reason . ' ' therefore is pointed out by Herman Jennings, of the United , ' ; States bureau of mines. He cites the following percentages of increase: Labor, 20; steel, from 40 to 280; manganese steel, 130; Explosives and machinery, 75; lumber, 125. What has been the effect? A reduction in the gold product ' of this country from 101,035,700 in 1915 to $83,052,500 for last year. The world's production naturally has been falling to a greater extent than in a country that up. to. the close of 1917 was hardly touched by the world war. - ' - ;r If , it takes ' 50 per cent more or even higher costs, to take out a ton of gold ore than it did four years back, and the miners finds that in addition governmental taxes are very much higher, he is liable to slow up in production and leave the ore in the mine. That, as a matter of fact, is what is being done in all the pro- -' ducing districts in the west. ' - ' ; . The federal expert believes that governmental action is i required to protect the nation's gold supply. One of his sugges- - tions seems reasonable, that all excess profit taxes on gold min-- ! ' ing should be eliminated. He maintains that "should the obtain-rne- nt of new gold cease while draft on the old coins are vastly ' increased, the whole storage battery of gold energy may so get out of adjustment as not to do useful work, and gold would be-come demonetized and the accumulated labor of centuries past, locked up in gold coins, become inert and valueless. Should al! gold mining stop or radically diminish this would be the result." he should have set out one or more of the articles on the counter with a placard reading, "As Advertised, $1.25," or whatever the price may have been. Another one with a placard might' have been placed in his store window. The advertisement in the paper would have conveyed the information of a bargain to the general public. The article prom-inently displayed with price attached would have made the sales. Brains are a good thing to have, but they are vastly more effective when used to good advantage. . fet t ; MISUSING HIS BRAINS ' Everybody has brains, but not everyone uses them to the verv'best advantage. For instance: One day we dropped into a business house that never advertises and noted a rough sign on the window offering a certain article for sale at a reduced price, but with no figures given. We said nothing, but casually looked around for the article. It was nowhere to be seen. Others came in and looked around, bought a few things and went out. Th-i- t business man has a fair allotment of brains, but he ''imnlv fails to applv them properly. He should have inserted an ad in the paper offering the article in question at a special y reduced price, and should have stated the price, lhat would have started a certain number of people to looking for it. Ihen - NJEW ERA OF PUBLIC SERVICE ; V Some of the biggest' industrial leaders In the United States - . are setting a fine pace in serving governmental dpnarment t $1.00 per year. Captains of industry like Ryan, of Anaconda Copper Company ; Jackling, of Utah Copper Company ; Schwab, of the United States Steel, are samples. The man who has . - achieved national fame as a doer of big things, and who thinks : i . in 6 to 8 figures has no temptations to ruin his good name. Before our nation was plunged into war big business men rarely thought of rendering service or giving time unselfishly. - The higher concept of patriotism requires that activities be , . used not only for pecuniary reward of himself but for that of . ' . his fellow men as well. , George VV. Perkins, the New York capitalist, who is giving his time to the national campaign for the Y. M. C. A. war work has this salutary concept. He says: "A rwnsr-nrtin- i twW at hand. We must take on a new nationalism. Precedent makes cowards of 'us all." j hi , WHERE SHALL OUR LABOR COME FROM? Mark Sullivan, editor of Collier's Weekly, estimates a r shortage o! man power in our country on account of war condi tions of fifteen million men. The proposals for alleviating the famine in man power can be summed up in the following propo--' sitions, that are not advocated here, but are stated: 1. Conscription, draft all males from 13 to 50 and put them v at work under government direction. 2. Take up- - slack, avoid all wastage of man power, work longer hours and economize on labor we have. ' ' 3. Bring in labor from China or Russia until after the period cf the war as France and England have done. ' The governmental labor department has already suspended all restrictions on labor immigration from Mexico, Porto Rico ' and Canadian possessions and may extend the encouragement . of immigration to other countries, h tei n CRIME IN GERMANY -- According to an Amsterdam dispatch many protests have been made in the Prussian diet concerning the increase of crime in Germany. If statements of some of the. members are taken to be true, there is not much more respect paid to the right of property in Germany than under the rule of Bolshevic govern-ment in Russia. One representative declared that hotels were robbed, that he had had his shoes stolen, and that representatives had had their coats taken from the house itself. The members of the Diet should not be surprised at that state of affairs. Their government started out to rob mankind, and although they covered their plan robbery by calling it "in-demnity," it was robbery arid theft and nothing else. Now when the common people take up the same doctrine and apply it at home, it is only carrying out the national doctrine which has been applied to the people of Belgium and France and everywhere else that their armies have penetratd. It is only natural that their people at home should follow the example of the govern-ment. fci r f , In the beginning there are two roads that lead to wealth the one by way of the brain, the other through the palms of will-lin- g hands. When the one with the other the two become a team that is irresistible ,the two roads are converged into one, and the goal lies straight ahead. i fn r The American dollar is now said to be the standard in the financial markets of the world. Sounds good and reads .well, but for the love of Peggy give us an opportunity to use it in-stead of talking about it.
