There are needed at the headquar-
tiers of the Red Cross Aid society in
the Endicott building articles to fill
scventy-five boxes for soldiers In the
Thirteenth regiment whose friends
have not applied for the cases.
The packing room was a busy scene
yesterday.
About thirty women were in the

Of the professional packers, who will
place them in the company boxes.
Though the pile of Individual boxes

should have them at the rooms as ear

the call for books end 1893 magazines
The committee stated last evening that
such as have reading matter of tn s
kind that they are willing to part with,
to bring them to the office.
The aid society makes this formal ap-
peal:
To the People of ST Paul:
The matter of sending Christmas
boxes to our soldier boys at Manila has
neared completion, and the committee
In charge find that there are still sew
enty-ffve boxes untitled. That means
that seventy-f1ve of our soldiers are
ignored, or at least not remembered in
the Christmas gift. We estimated that
there would be seventy-five boxes to be
filled, and the Commercial club of ST.
Paul was asked to take that number
If charge. Without moment Of hes
ttation the obligation was assumed and
has been filed to the letter. Our esti-
mate was too small, and we need sup
plies for seventy-f1ve boxes more. You
are asked to aid in this work at once
and send supplies for these boxes to
the Red Cross rooms, Fourth street,
Endicott arcade.
The boxes must be packed at once.
Do not delay.
