: A prominent w. G. II. u.
worker from Michigan has gone
= to Manila and has the work there.
} She is known as ''Mother Moots. >
5 10 her, many homesick boys tell
their troubles and receive a moth
ers consolation. She lost her only
son in Manila, one year ago, and
these adopted boys help to fill the
place of her dear one in that
mother heart.
She has started the first Method
ist class-meeting, first Christian
Endeavor society, putting the
work of the church first as all loyal
W. G. T. Z. workers do. For
her w. G. T. u. work three
Manila papers have given her space
each week. Six departments of
work have been taken up, with
competent women as superintend-
ents of each.
The chief nurse of the Santa
Mesa U. S. A. hospital is greatly
interested. Miss Annie Robins
will be glad of word from the
''home land" Her address is
Manila, P. I.
Mrs. Moots writes: ttIn these
last moments before the mail
closes, when a lot of happy boys
are packing lockers and arranging
bundles preparatory to going on
board the transport "Warren,"
homeward bound, stop to scrawl
a few lines. It did me good to
see the eyes shining with pleasure
as | passed down the hospital
wards, threading my way among
trunks, clothing, etc., the belong
ings of the home going boys. But
., the sad boys left behind! A
few hundred 90 home, hundreds
remain who ought to 60, and out
over these islands, scattered in
bands of so, 100 or sometimes 3OO|
or 400 are 10000 American boys.
Yes, boys, for the average age. of
the army, [ am told is 21 years.
| have just received a letter from
San lsidio, one hundred or more
miles away and twenty miles from
the railroad, written by soldier
boy who has learned from Manila
paper of the organization of
the w. G.. T. L. in the islands.
He says: I was SO glad to hear
it, and will do all in my power to
help. Twill try and start Union
here among the boys
''Several others have expressed
a wish to have an organization in
other parts that they might help
on the work."
Here are few words from Dr..
Chas. Gilbert Davis, of Chicago:
"More than fifteen years l have
pursued my professional work in
hospital and private practice, and
while within the bounds of ciyiliza-
ton, have not found it necessary
to administer alcohol. [ am not
at all prejudiced against it's use.
Beyond scientific medical associa-
tions, belong to no temperance
society. My action is based en-
tlreIy upon scientific thought, OBJ
servatlon and experience. I be-
l1eve that in most, probably all
cases, disease can be better re-
moved and surgical operations
more successf July performed with
out its employment"
