SURGICAL DRESSINGS
10.000.0OO WANTED
An Appeal to the People Of
Phoenix to Contribute
Their Share to This Gil
gantic Order for Euro
pean Soldiers.

In civil War days an appeal was sent
to every state in the Union by the
Sanitary War Relief Committee for Old
linen and cotton with which to make
surgical dressings. for at that time
gauze and absorbent cotton We're not
IN use. 1t is well known how general
was the response to this appeal; OLD
chests were ransacled. drawers. trunks
and closets We're searched. and treas
H-es long hidden were willingly sacri-
feed to supply the demand
Today the orders in Europe for
@auZc and cotton are 50 gigantic that
the factories there are unable to fill
them. so again the women of America
are rendering similar service TO the
wounded in Europe. They are appeal
ing to the public for the material re-
quied to male dressings for use in the
hospitals abroad. Many Of the emer-
Sency and field hospitals are without
even the barest necessities for caring
for wounded men. and surgeons and
nurses are appealing from every coun-
try in the war zone for surgical dres-
sings.
Ten million surgical dressings are
wanted now. As a piece of clean goods
even if small and ragged, will make a
dressing for some poor wounded lad, it
IS hoped that a generous quantity of
old linen and cotton. sheets. pillow
cases. table cloths, napkins, towels, ETC.
or new Gauze. muslin. absorbent cotton
etc, will be donated to the Phoenix
branch of the surgical dressing com
mittee. These contributions may be
left at the office of Mr.. William X.
James. 40 North First St. or ut the
residence of Mrs Gordon Tweed, 1900
North Central Ave. Mrs. Tweed's home
will be open both morning and after
noon CT Tuesday, December 2S to
those who are willing to assist in the
making of these surgical dressings. An
earnest appeal is made for workers for
Tuesday, and for the meetings OF the
committee which will be held later
Suffering humanity hees for your time

Your interest and for YOUR donations Of
