A distinction has been made between housewife and house- 

 keeper. Housewife has been taken to mean the woman who works 

 in her own home for her own family. Housekeeper has been con- 

 strued as one who keeps house for someone other than her own 

 family. The information as to occupations of women is yery 

 meager, probably due to the fact that it is often taken as a 

 matter of course that a married woman is always a housewife. 



From this it can be seen that all the work done by the adults 

 is hard physical labor. The field of work for the unskilled has 

 been yery nearly coyered by this table, but eyery occupation men- 

 tioned has proyed unsuitable for the cardiac condition of at least 

 one individual. Some may take up the work under these head- 

 ings and improve in physical strength, but they must be watched 

 carefully. For example, if one patient has broken under the 

 stress of farm labor, he might thrive in a position as teamster. 



Before leaving the study of these patients referred to the 

 Social Service Department who are still living, it might be well 

 to see how much the community has spent on them in order to 

 save their lives. These jjatients have been restored to a certain 

 degree of health and are partially filling their places in the 

 scheme of life. For this reason the money spent for hospital 

 treatment has not been counted as a loss as it was in case of 

 death in Chapter II.

If these patients follow directions now and do not become 

 dependents, the money will have been well spent, but this is not 

 certain as yet.
