Wholesale Meat Prices
At present it would be interesting to the
public to study the fresh meat prices, as charged
by the Packers, to the retail markets. If we
all understood conditions, we would often see
things different.
Take a dressed bog, as an example. The trade no
loDger wants certain undesirable cuts at any price. . We are
getting 10c per pound more for pork loins, or chops, than
we are for shoulders, 6c more than we get for fresh hams.
These three cuts are the onlyart of the hog wanted at all.
This represents about half of the weight of the bog. The
other half must be worked off for less than the net cost of
the hog. There was a time when all parts of the beef and
hog sold at only a small difference in price.
Sttidy the meat business with us and always
order Reynolds Packing House Products.

Playground Benefits.
When in any city in which there
have been established public play
grounds It would be well worth the
while of the visitor to go to one of
theso parks and watch the children
of every age enjoying an afternoon
of healthful exercise and fun.
The playgrounds are placed on va
cant lots or parks in the center of
neighborhood and during certain
houis each day the swings, sliding
boards, see-saws, basket ball court
wading pool and various other games
aro opened &nd the children of the
city are welcomed. A supervisor is
always present who directs the play
of the children, especially seeing that
each child has a share in some gaV.ie
and keeping a clone watch to pre
vent accidents.
Wheiever playgrounds have been
established officials and parents have
been delighted with the result of
both physical and moral development
of the children. Besides the fun the
young people enjoy, there i3 a very
great benefit to be derived from the
standpoint of health and character
building. Children are given only
tho most wholesome games that de
velop their minds and bodies and in
addition they learn to play unselfish
ly and to respect the wishes of oth
ers.
To tired mothers the playground
affords an opportunity for an after
noon's relaxation, when they know
they can send their little ones to
play where they will be cared for
- When Union City has a public
playground it win not only be a
much needed institution but will be
welcomed most heartily by the chll
dren and will add greatly to the at
tractive and progressive air of the
city.
Kindness Appreciated.

community jNurse.
Plans are being perfected by the
Parent-Teachers -Association to se
cure the services of a resident com
munity nurse for Union City and vi
clnity. This matter was taken up
last December at a meeting'of citizens
for discussion and generally ap
proved. At that time a county nurse
was suggested, but more recently it
was decided that a burse is needed to
give her whole timo to the communi
ty including Union City and imme
diate vicinity. The object in this ar
ticle is to explain the duties of such
a nurse and the scope of her work,
A very important feature of tjiis
work is infant welfare. Mortality
among infant3 is sometimes excessive
but oftentimes preventable if the
mothers understood properly how to
meet the emergencies of the situa
tion. Another great branch of the
work is the care a"hd prevention of
tuberculosis. Oftentimes a nurse can
find tubercular traces before the per
son so infected is aware of the fact
Another branch Is the work in the
schools. In this of course the sight,
hearing, the lungs and the general
bodily condition are looked after.
In all cases everywhere tho great fac
tor in fighting disease is sanitation,
especially in the schools. It is hoped
also to have the nurse serve as truant
officer. She is to coordinate with
the health department of the territo
ry embracing her work.
Among otber things the communi
ty nurse is to work in connection
with, tho United Charities and church
organizations id inking care of the
poor. Her visits will include both
white and colored, and she is to be
found prepared for emergency vork
From this it will be seen that such
a nurse is not by any means a private
nurse, as it is not possible to superin
tend the work she is employed io do
and. accept calls for private nursing.
She will however answer emergency
calls while preparations are being
made to secure the services of a pri
vate nurse.
The community nurse Is to in
struct classes in home nursing The
recent experiences in the epidemic of
influenza is an example of the work
that Is needed to be done.
An instance of tho need of a com
munity nurse was the case last sum
mer of typhoid fever in the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Smith, across' the street
from the Dahnke-Walker Milling Co.
flour mill. The neighbors had tojitep
in and take the children, and then
financial circumstances prevented
the employment of a private nurse.
The family were wholly ignorant of
the precautions to bo taken and the
sanitary measures necessary. As a
result the excretions were scattered
over the back lot, the germs to
bo distributed in the air and taken
up by unsuspecting persons. This
case and many others needed the
services and the advice of a commu
nity nurse. ,
Fulton, Hickman and Clinton have
community nurses. The nurse at
Hickman has been there for five
years. The cost for a nurse at this
point is estimated at $2500 a year,
including office quarters and a Ford
coupe. She is to make a charge or
50 cents for calb, payayblo, by hose
who are able to afford her services.
She is to call without chargo where
the people are not able to pay the
foe, and this fee is to be a part of
the fund which goes into her salary.
Theupport of the, church, fraternal
andfiecular organizations in the city
is solicited in thio work, as well as
private subscriptions. A good start,
Mrs. Miller tella us, has been made
toward raising this fund, and no
doubt it will be completed without
burdening anybody. ,
It will indeed be worth more than
mere dollars and cents to our people
to have a community nurse, and once
there is a general knowledge of the
work to be accomplished very little
effort vill be necessary to keep ouch
nurse permanently with us.
