Of the young conscripts who had just
arrived were busying themselves un

them. If he was you need not pic

The conductor of fast flying pas
senger train would not, under any
circumstances, allow his train to start
if he knew the brakes were out of
order.
A great inventor discovered an air
brake which controlled the speed of
train. 1t took years to demonstrate
the value Of his invention, but fin
ally, it was recognized as an abso-
lutte necessity and later on laws were
passed by Congress compelling all
railroads to be equipped with this
wonderful safety device.
The human body, when it is started
on the Down Grade needs an abso-
lutely safe brake.
Realizing the necessity Of re-
liable reconstructive tonic the crea-
tors of Tanlac searched for the best
ingredient to produce health.
But, more fortunate than the in
ventor Of the air-brake, the creators
of Tanlac quickly demonstrated the
worth of their wonderful remedy.

Red Cross Society Issues Bulletin in
Which Manufacture OF These
Useful Articles Is
Described.
MANY ARTICLES GO IN
Toilet Necessities and Writing Pa
uer, With a Bit Of Foolishness
to Help Men
Forget.

Half a million practical circulars
on the making of comfort kits and
hays were issued today by the Amer
team Red Cross The circulars can
he obtained on application at any
Red Cross chapter. A million COM
fort kits are to be made at once for
the men of our army and navy. A
million more will be made for the
Russian revolutionary army, as
nledge of cheer to the, allied armies
on the eastern front. The Red Cross
is to be under no expense for these
kits, all being provided as gifts from
the women who wish to make them.
Miss Florence Marshall, director OF
the woman's bureau announced that
the circular embodied the suggestion
of the war department, OF General
Pershing and of Major Grayson M
P. Murphy as to what the men
wanted. Three types of kits are sug-
gested, a simple bag with draw string
and two with pockets, one for the
trenches and one suitable for hos
pital use Anything similar will be
gladly welcomed. The kits are to be
made of plain khaki. Colored Gre
tonne has not been advised because
it is dangerously visible when car
ried by troops at the front.
The circular is illustrated with dia-
grams of each type of bag. 1t lists
the personal equipment given to each
enlisted man by the war department,
in order that women may not dupli-
cate these articles in filling the COM
fort kits But it also notes that the
regular outfit of any soldier Is liable
to be lost or destroyed and that adj
ditional supplies even of his necessi-
ties may be welcome to him at the
front.
Makeup Of Kits.
The Red Cross commissioner in
France has advised about comfort
kits as follows:
They should contain pipe and to-
bacco pouch, heavy socks, handker-
chiefs, wash cloths and soap, mouth
organ or game, pencil, writing paper
or pad and envelopes, and If not too
expensive, single-bladed knife and
spoon.
'They should be made Of stout
material SO that they can be used IN
all sorts of practical ways.
''They should have, If possible, an
American flag sewed on the outside"
materials IOI HAdhlAS Tic hilS Ssih
be procured by the chpaters from the
Red Cross division supply service.
Individuals may purchase their ma
terials sfrom the chapters or from
local retail stores. Certain articles,
like the combination knives and
spoons, may be had from the diyi-
sion supply service.
The suggestion for hospital kits
describes the making of souvenir
pocket, where the invaded soldier
may store his little collection Of
treasures which more often than not
includes a scrap of shell or the bull
let that brought him, to the hospital.
No playing cards are to be included
in the kits that go to Russia, and no
mouth organs or knives and scissors
for the hospital kits.
