I MISS CRETCHER CLOSES
A SUCCESSFUL CLASS.
Miss Lettie Cretcher of the
Home Service Department of
the American Red Cro§s,
closed a most profitable course
of instruction in Home Nurs
ing on last Tuesday.
For the past three Weeks
she has taught three classes a
day. Monday afternoon was
spent in practical demonctra
tion in the Care of the Sick,
and on Tuesday afternoon, be
tween thirty and forty women
and girls took the final exam
ination in Home Hycriene and
Care of the Sick.
This course of lessons will
be a great benefit, not only to
the members of the class, but
to the community at large. It
is very much to be regretted
i that all those who joined the
I class could not have com
pleted the course. We hope
to organize other classes later
and hope that all who can
! nossibly do so, will avail
themselves of this opportun
ity.
Miss Cretcher has made
Nursing and Social Service
Work her life study, and has
conducted clinics in a number
of our southwestern cities and
has spent a number of years
in the work in the Phillipine
Islands. She has been in the
service of the Red Cross since
the beginning of the war, and
is now helping in the Home
Service Past War Campaign
of Preventive Medicine. She
came here directly from Cot
ton Plant, where she gave a
i six weexs cuurse.
Miss Cretcher needs no
further recommendation other
than her own charming per
sonality and the enthusiastic
endowment of her entire
class.
i The Red Cross may send
out other instructors as good,
but they can send no one bet
i ter qualified for the work.
BARGAIN IN LAND.
I will sell my land east of
McCrory and near ’Possum
Creek School House, at the
following prices and terms:'
North 80, $2,300., cash pay

Miss Lettie Cretcher, who

ducted a Nurse’s Training

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
EVERY FORD OWNER SHOULD KNOW
Just What Ford service is, and why it is dif
ferent from ordinary garage service. The Ford
dealer is a part of the Big Ford Family. He
carries a large stock of genuine Ford parts
for repairs and replacements, and he uses
only genuine parts because he knows the im
itation parts are not dependable. .
He has a thoroughly-equipped, up-to-the-min
ute garage ith cools that enable hisr Ford
mechanics to efficiently and properly make any
repair—from a mmor adjustment to a com
plete overhaul.
Now, \ t are Authorized Ford Dealers—a
part of the 0reat Ford Service organization
which was formed chiefly to put within each
communii a d aier who would have more
than a pasomg interest in Ford repairs and ad
justments. Drive in or phone and we’ll come
for your car.

Not Well-Not Sick.
When the kidneys fail to
cleanse the blood of impuri
ties the whole system is
affected. The result may be
a half-sick condition—not well
enough to work, not sick
enough for bed—rheumatic
pains, backache, lameness.
Foley Kidney Pills heal and
strengthen disordered kidneys
and help them do their work.
