C. Gwilliam, sec-retary of the Weber county chapter. The first graduate nurse working under this plan is Mrs. Leslie West who may be reached by telephoning No 4190-W or No. 306. Her services may be obtained in the home by the hour. She serves the actually ill medical and surgical patient, the convalescent discharged from the hospital, the new mother and her baby, the chronic invalid needing only part-time care, or anyone sick at home who does not need a full-time nurse. Nursing visits in this service are by appointment at a cost of $1 per hour. For home confinement assistance the charge is $6, with a four-hour limit. The nurse works from eight-thirty o'clock in the morning ! until four o'clock in the afternoon daily. AVAILABLE TO ALL "This service provides a graduate registered nurse to care for the sick in their homes," Mrs. Gwilliam ex¬plained, "and is available to per¬sons of any age, color or creed. While she responds to every call her care is given upon orders of a licens¬ed physician. "This care may include a bed-bath a sterile dressing, an irrigation, a hypodermic injection or any of the various forms of care usually given by a graduate nurse, in the home or the hospital under the doctor's orders. "The purpose of this work is to help create an adequate nursing ser¬vice in the home to those who need it but do not need a full-time nurse; to care for the acutely ill, who need an hour or more of trained service a day; to help instruct the members; of a family in the care between visits. It also offers a maternity service. Visits may be made to the expectant mother to teach her how, to take care of herself before the baby is born. The earlier the mother begins to care for herself the more likely she is to have a safe delivery and a healthy baby. If it is a home delivery the nurse will assist. MANY LACK CARE "Eighty-five per cent of the sick in homes do not have the services of a graduate nurse, it has been esti¬mated, because those of moderate means cannot afford to buy nursing service unless they are very ill. "Many cities are finding hourly nursing a means of furnishing less expensive nursing care. Hourly nurs-ing offers the patient the services of a nurse, not by the day, but in the time of his need." RELIEF WHEAT SENT TO MILLS Surplus Grain Being Used To Provide Free Flour Grain totaling 118,782 bushels has been released by the Farmers National Grain corporation, to intermountain mills to be ground into free flour for the unemployed, it was announced today at the local office of the corporation.

It was said today that cracked wheat for livestock feeding had been shipped here from Kansas City. COUNTY ACTIVITY Distribution of Red Cross livestock feed has gone on rapidly the past few days in Weber county, declares County Agden A. L. Chritiansen. A committee of 10 in each community has arrangemed for transportation from the mills to the storage place where distribution is being made. The feed is being delivered in the form of cracked wheat, steam rolled wheat, and mill-run. Care in feeding wheat products to cattle and horses is stressed by the county agent. He says that the mill run and cracked wheat should be mixed for safety and best results. Only small quantities should be fed at first and gradually increased as the animal becomes accustomed to the feed.
