Making Itself Felt.

there is great deal of suffering here
these nights by people who are improp-

be properly applied in providing against
the blasts OF winter. The cloth

Commissary Department shut down, has
been transferred to the Red Cross So
ciety, by whom it will be distributed to
the needy. There have been great

duced by ailments contracted in the
food. At the Red Cross Hospital there
are now TWENTY-FIVE cases OF typhoid
fever, most of them strangers in town.
