RED CROSS NOTES

A Red Cross dance was given in
Sonora Monday night and one hun
dred and two dollars taken in.-The
floor was too crowded for every one
to dance at the same time, so each
person was given a ribbon of either
red white or blue and each color took
his turn dancing. Every one had
good time and were very happy to
be doing something for the Red Cross.
The Ray organization appreciates ex-
ceedingly such hearty and enthusias-
tic cooperation from the people of
Sonora.
One hundred and sixty-three dollars
were made at the bazaar-a1most ev-
erything was Sold There were some
very beautiful things and many re-
marked at the reasonable prices asked

SUGAR SUGGESTIONS!

The worlds supply of sugar is short.
We Americans consume four ounces
of sugar a day per person, (the
French get along on less than one
ounce per person. or from IS to go
pounds per person a year.
Sugar, in some form, is a necessity
in any well balanced diet. 1t is espe-
cially needed by men employed at
hard labor. Our lumbermen in the
northern woods use large quantities
of it in the form of molasses. Our
soldiers crave it. 1t is an economical
source of heat and energy.
Our allies formerly drew their sup
ply of sugar from Russia, Germany,
Austria and Java They are now COM
PEELED to bring their demands TO US.
This worlds shortage knocks at every
American door. We must reduce our
consumption to share with them We
are told that if each person in the
United States only reduces his con.
sumption of cane and beet sugar one
third, fighting Europe and our own
soldier boys will have sufficient sugar
to keep from starvation. 1t is such

I'd worried every time he yowled

thrown the water out beyond the door,

''Well, there aren't many to come,

GOAT MILK GOOD
FOR BABIES WITH
POOR DIGESTION

An interesting bulletin, No. 285, has
recently been issued by the Agricul-
tural Experiment Station, Berkeley,
Cal, on the "Milch Goat in California" ;"
In referring to the uses of goat milk
it says:
''The most striking results so far
secured relate to the feeding of goats
milk to infants. The station has had
the opportunity of supplying this milk
to fairly large number of very young
children who were in serious physical
condition, due to their inability to
properly digest and assimilate either
modified cows milk or any of the
commercial infants foods that were
tried. In nearly all cases of this kind
the physical condition of the children
has been built up, and satisfactory
growth has been brought about by
the use of goat milk

Physicians Bldg, San Francisco.

an easy thing for us to do. Like
other food conservation demands of
our government, it involves no hard
ships for us. We need not even go
without sweets; only be careful of
what those sweets are made.
There are many delicious sweets
that require little of beet or cane
sugar. Take, for example, those made
from honey, molasses, chocolate, ma
pie sugar and fresh fruits. There are
nuts and dates, figs and raisins to
help us create toothsome dainties.
Corporal W. R. Simons at Camp
Pike, Arkansas, has received his COM
fort kit from the Woman's Committee
of Ray. He writes back that it is
exceedingly nice and very useful and
that he feels very grand to be the
owner of such bag.
The Woman's Committee are so
glad to know the comfort kits are
real comfort to our soldier boys. The
women are working hard to make
and fill these kits and hope soon every
man from Ray in the army will pos
sess one.

NEWMAN WRITES
FROM FUNSTON

The Copper Camp is being read at
all the different training camps
where the Ray boys are stationed.
The following letter to the Copper
Camp was received from Clyde New
man at Camp Funston:
Camp Funston,
Thursday.
To the Copper Camp:
No chance for you to hear from BIT
terry F unless write, guess, as l
am the only representative of Ray.
Well, this has been a great day in
camp, as we had real holiday ALL
day, and if you think we didn't eat
just wait until tell you what we had.
Here goes the menu: Oyster soup,
turkey and dressing, cranberry sauce,
celery, mince pie, fruit and nuts, cof-
fee and apple cider Think we are
hungry tonight?
Now we don't get this all the time,
but at that l have added nineteen
pounds of baggage to my frame, so
the life seems to strike me OK, but
for the benefit of the boys that are
likely to be called in the near future
will say this is no place for a lazy
man, for they make you do things in
three counts here, and if you can't
do it in at least four your holidays
and Sundays are spent in the kitchen,

There will be Red Cross food sale
some time before Christmas.

Six hundred thousand dollars of
Red Cross money has been appropri-
ated for relief work in Armenia.
There are at least 100000 people
in Western Asia whose death can
be prevented only by communication
with the committee handling this
work. From one town alone there is
call to provide for 10000 fatherless
children"
Realizing these tremendous calls
upon the Red Cross, we sitting quiet
ly at home with all of our family
around us cannot refuse to give free
ly of our time, money or anything
that the Red Cross can use. Yes, we
are doing much, but more, oh, so
much more is needed.

following message through the Re,

ITO the people of the United
States:
Having been to the front, |
speak with some authority on the
grand and glorious work of the
Red Cross. Let the people of the
United States remember the sol
der boys friend on the field of
battle. The Red Cross is his first
aid; he is there at all times thru
the day and thru the night
might say that the men and wom-
en- of the Red Cross are playing
an unforgettable service. Let us
not do what we can, but let us
do cur best for the Red Cross and
if we do our best, we will surely
have no regrets.

Mr.. Harvey D. Gibson, generaz man.
ager Of the Red Cross, makes the fol-
lowing statement
A story is being circulated to the
effect that sweaters, socks and other
articles knitted for the Red Cross are
being sold, either to the public in
shops or direct to the soldiers.-This
is emphatically not true No articles
whatever, either knitted or otherwise,
made by Red Cross workers and
turned into any Red Cross Chatter,
branch or auxiliary, or to any supply
warehouse, are sold either to the SOL
diers or in shops.
Another question that seems to
trouble many is the report of $4,000
salaries being paid to leading officials
Of the Red Cross-when we consider
that men like Mr.. Henry P. Dawson.
Mr.. John d. Ryan, as we'll as the

sation it is not difficult to realize the
absurdity of such rumor. Practi-
cally all the important administrative
positions since war was declared-and
which were the Red Cross a business
corporation would pay the largest
salaries-are filled by volunteers.
1t would be interesting to ascertain
just who the ingenious person is who
is responsible for these rumors-but
one thing is sure-it is the duty Of
every Red Cross member, if he can
not locate their source, at least to
refute them and see that they go no

HAVE A GARDEN

Of life prolongers there are many
but the best we have heard is that
which Mrs. Alice Bennett credited
with enabling her to reach the age
of los in strength and happiness.
Her elixir of life was little patch
of roses in the back yard.
There was other flowers. too. and a
grape arbor for shade. -
In the summer, when the back yard
was riot of flowery flame, neighbors
used to see Mrs. Bennett working
among her plants. plucking a posy
her, shipping a branch there, grow,
ing older amid beauty.
"Stay out of the rocking chair she
used to tell her neighbors. Get out
into the fresh air, if you wish to live
to a ripe old age --
Pretty good advice! It's pity
more of us can't have back yards and
flower gardens. But those who can
have them, should have them. So
SHOULD the rest.
