The cheery smiles of Nurses’ Aids brightened hospital days for both service
incn and civilians. Nurses’ Aids took temperatures, gave baths and did the
routine tasks for which nurses were too busy. Patients were kept happier
and overcrowded hospitals were operated more efficiently because of the
help of thousands of devoted volunteers. We feci sure these patriotic women
who gave so many liours to war work had home tasks lightened because
they could buy ^ur tcndcr-crustcd Ior.f, so fl..vorful, so temptingly good!
