Omaha daily bee., 1917-07-15

either not or weary, is th'
universal expression o
Omaha women who ar,
now completely correlated for patri
otic service. They are not standin,
around asking What can we do t.
help" but are plunging into the worl
with only one idea, that being to worl
rapidly and efficiently, for great is tn,
need.
This was demonstrated by the eff
fective work done the past few day,
by DR.. Jennie Callfas and Mrs. Flor;
Hoffman.
Hearing of the immediate need o
the soldiers in the hospital at For
Crook, the Omaha chapter of tn,
Woman's Christian Temperance un
ion called a special meeting and votet
to provide 500 towels and 500 bars O
soap at once. Feeling that there wa,
more to be done for the boys who
are willing to sacrifice themselves fol
Uncle Sam, DR.. Callfas telephoned thu
state chairman, Mrs. Mamie Chaslir
in Lincoln, and asked If the state
Woman's Christian Temperance un
ion would give $500 for equipping mer
at the hospital with necessary cloth
ing. She answered in the affirmative
and within twenty-four hours, DR.
Callfas and Mrs. Hoffman had pur
chased and delivered the supplies
which are as follows: Twenty-foul
mattresses, four dozen pillow cases

pans, FIVE dozen brushes and combs
apd one dozen tables. ...- ...
"When we delivered the gifts Fri

happier group of boys. They enjoyed
the comforts we provided as much a.

said DR.. Callfas.
