PRESERVES WANTED When You Are Canning Put Up an Extra
 Jar or Two for Hospital Cans Furnished by Mrs. II. J. 1hayer or
 Miss Webster

It is canning time. Housewives. are busy preserving various fruits and vegetables and making jelly, Pre- serves are greatly needed for patients at the Day kimbali hospital. They
 are greatly relied upon in the sick room especially during the period of conValescenee, If one would stop for moment and think how much might be accomplished in this direction if every woman, while putting up pre-. serves, would make one or more extra cans for the hospital, little urging would be necessary. If each one says to herself, "I won't bother, my neigh. Dor is making some for the hospital,h not can would be forthcoming, but if she will only say, Perhaps my neighbor won't make any this year so 1 will make twon the sum total would
 be considerable. So once more 1t Is suggested that each one put up as many extra cans of preserves and jellies as each feels able and send 1t to the hospital where it will be used to tempt She returning appetite of some person struggling back to health and strength. Cans will be furnished if desired by notifying Mrs H. J. Thayer, King street, or Miss R Psyche
 Webster, matron, at the hospital.
 |. The Day Kimball hospital has be- come, if not the most important insti- tuition to humanity in eastern Wind
 ham county generally, certainly one of the most important. IL is an institn- tion that has become fixed necessity
 and the work It is doing has been i broadening out ever since it was first started as an infirmary on boiies street l in this city. The past year has seen the hospital taxed to its utmost. It
 has been busy place. The matron, nurses, doctors and surgeons have all 1 had their hands full This means that
 suffering humanity was receiving l needed attention and as far as possible having their physical ailments and |
 ment of the hospital has been aided to from time to time and 1t Is now in an
 up.to-date condition, probably not eN-
 celled by an institution of it's size any where. To keep this great institution ] running, it's friends and the public l from time to time come generously 10 l it's aid. Only recently some public l spirited citizens Of Woodstock added
 lungmotor to the equipment. The Ea- dies Board and ils allied branches are ever busy along lines that will procure many necessaries Everyone is inter. ested in the work as they, or relative or friend, may have need at mo- ments notice and without warning for just such d haven of refuge as the hos pital proves in such emergencies.
 Now the appeal comes to the public, or to that portion represented by the housewife, for preserves, and it would seem that this appeal should receive ready response. Perhaps it should not be put up to the housewife alone.
 Every person in the county may pro cure preserves or jelly even though not engaged in canning them, so the ap peal includes everybody and if can could be donated by each individual the shelves at the hospital would fairly groan with their weIe ht. lt is just
 asked of each and every one that they consider th,s appeal and then decide for themselves how il shall be answer ed. If this is done the result will,
 without doubt, be entirely satisfactory.
