DERED TO MAKE NO MORE
SURGICAL eANDAGES.

The work of the classes in surgtr-y
dressings at the Red Cross shop b
been cut down quite appreciably, K I
cording to the latest orders from Z
central division headquarters OF TIL
Red Cross at Chicago.
The roller bandages made OF muslin
gauze, crinoline and flannel can be
made more rapidly and at less cost IN
the mills, and may be shipped direct
from the mills to warehouses, thusss
saving the labor of handling and tho
duplication of freight charges Thei
making Of these bandages was the
least difficult of all the work done IN
classes, and several dozen could be-
turned out by one person in session
Classes Pleased with Order.
Members of classes will rejoicef
however. at the news that laporotomy
pads, fracture pillows, oakum pads
drains, small sponges and one yaros
gauze rolls have been eliminated from
the list of standard dressings OF THO
American Red Cross, and the making
of them will be discontinued imme}
diately. Those already made and on
hand at the local headquarters will hf
sent, unwrapped, to the central diIi
sion headquarters. The making D.
these bandages was very tedious aret
slow, owing to the particular specitfs
cations. With the elimination OF
these from the work, the class will UNI
have a rise in popularity.
