A special appeal was made by the
women yesterday for material with
which to carry on the work. Last
evening 1t was found that the last Of
the light woolens and COTTON had been
used UP, and unless more Is contributed
today the ladies will be compelled to
purchase enough to carry them through
the day.
The fabrics most desired are light
woolens, for making abdominal bands,
and white cotton for night shirts.
DIR. Jeanette MacLaren decided yes
terday to hold the box of medical sup
plies for few days before sending 1t
| away. It has not been decided just
what to do with this case, as most Of
the ladies feel that the Thirteenth regi-
| ment Is well provisioned against all
contingencies by the generous gift OF
President HILL of the Great Northern.
In addition to- this the ladies spent
nearly a week previous to the depart
ure of the troops making bandages and
| collecting books and delicacies, such as
| beef tea. cocoa. etc. These were dis
| tributed before the troops left ST. Paul.

| to the Twelfth and Fourteenth regi-
ments, along with the other hospital
| supplies.
| The women are still working on the
| bedding, night shirts and bandages.

have sufficient supplies of this nature
to thoroughly provide the hospital
