cooperating with the American com.
mittee for Armenian and Syrian relief
In collecting foodstuffs and clothing to

lier placed at the disposal OF the latter
committee by Secretary Daniels.
The collection of the Christmas ship
cargo is in the hands of Albert w.
Staub OF the American Red Cross re-
ceiving and distributing station at
Bush terminal, Brooklyn. Mr.. Staub
has already received countless bundles
OF old clothing, unavailable for the
cargo, as military regulations preclude
the shipment of second hand clothing
In this cargo. He said, ct must be
emphasized that the only clothing
America can send to the unfortunate
ones in Turkey must be new and must
be sent prepaid to the American Red
Cross, Bush terminal, Brooklyn" Mr..
Staub sent the following letter from
the war relief information and ship
ping Office:
''It Is more than significant that the
FIRST letter to go out from the newly
organized Red Cross war relief infor-
nation Office has to do with a Christ
mas ship. 1t is doubly significant that
1t IS to take relief to people living so
near the Holy Land"

Care of Footwear

With a little thought and care of
shoes the family shoe bill may be re-
ducei at least one-third. Tho present
day liquid polish used on shoes is apt
to crack the leather and ruin it. Most
liquid dressings have a certain amount
OF acid, and this destroys the oils in
the leather. II one must use liquid
dressings, once I'm two weeks wash or
every bit Of dressing from the shoes
and apply a liberal coating OF castor
oil and set the shoes I'm an airy place
for two days. The elasticity Of the
leather will be renewed and the shoes
become soft and pliable. Wipe shoes
carefully before applying the next coat
OF liquid dressing.
