Apneal for Surgical Dressings.

ing cablegram to all American Red

standard surgical dressings must be
sent Immediately or calamity newt
able. American women must pre-
pare with greatest speed dressings
which will mean life or death to our
boys. Please give widest publicity,
calling in all possible workers" In
response to this appeal, Mrs. Graham,
our instructress in this branch OF the
work, has arranged class in surgical
dressings for each Thursday evening,
where she asks not only the Honor
Guard Girls but all young women too
busy during the day to attend Fthe
regular afternoon sessions, to meet
her and help in this gauze work.

Captain Stanley Borleska Of Port
land, Ore, an officer at Camp Greene
Charlotte, N. c., was a member Of
the Michigan University football and
track team in 1914 and was picked as
a member Of the All-Star Western In
tercollegiate mythical team that year,
When came into this camp" he
told Arthur q. Bagley, the "Y" camp
physical director, II wondered how
/ was going to keep in physical con-
dition. saw no opportunity or place
to do any training. You Y. M. G. A.
fellows have sort of made opportuni-
ties for me to recreate and exercise,
for since have been here I have av-
eraged three evenings each week out
with my company football teams"
In the same camp was another
young soldier who listened to an ad-
dress given one evening in the "Y"
auditorium by DR.. George R. Stair
on "The Potter's Clay" After the
sermon and after the invitation had
been given and the men were signing
the "War Roll" and were being pre-
sented with the customary pocket
testament given to soldiers, one
young man, approached by Bagley
upon the question of making a de-
cision, responded affirmatively at
once. When the testament was hand
ed to him he said: II am doing
something for you that I refused to
do for my mother. When l left my
home in Idaho month ago, she
asked me to take a pocket testament
with me, but thought it was no part
of soldiers kit. This old Y. M. G.
A. has made me change my mind.
am going to sit down and write her
not to worry any more. I have my
testament and am going to read it.
Thank you, mister. The Y. M. c. A.
is sure good to us fellows" On the
same evening in this camp 161 War
Roll cards were signed and over $50
men made public requests for prayer.
1t is to keep up this sort of work
in the camps of the soldiers and sail
ors in America, and to follow them
across the seas when they go to
France, as well as to extend the same
service to the armies of our allies,
that the Y M. c. A. War Work Coun-
Gil is conducting a great nationwide
for funds from November
IL to 10. The sum needed to carry
on this service to July /, 1918, is
$S5, 100000. The aid of every citi-
zen in every state who has friends or
kin in the military or naval service is
not only desired but necessary.

Whether it be the evening and

Y. NJ. c. A. follows the soldier boys
of Uncle Sam wherever they go. Or,
fore strictly speaking, it precedes
them, for the "Y" buildings are al

tents are always waiting when the
fighting men reach lunch stop in

cerned. Take hint from the gifts
assembled in the Red Cross show

will, is to forego our usual Christmas
giving among our little circle and
contribute the resulting sum to gifts
for Sammy.

the Rogue River Fruit Association,
in the Gold Hill district, started to-
day. The red apples are prime for
picking, and with the late frost the
Newtowns will be ready by the time
the reds are out Of the way. To re-
lieve the labor shortage the growers
are concentrating their help to the or
chards that are ready. In this way
the growers will get most of the red
varieties out Of. the way for the New
towns next week. The car shortage
will compel growers to store most a.
their crop, which will cause them ad-
ditional expense. The box shortage
is much improved.

follows:
sOne bottle of Tanlac has done me
more good than all the other medicines

said. II have gone through with more
suffering than an ordinary man could
stand, on account of bad case of in

up until it interfered with my heart ac-
ton. My nerves got in such shape that
/ would tremble until I couldn't steady

my chest tortured me and | tried every
medicine | could find, without getting
any relief.
ut certainly is wonder that Tanlac
or anything else could have relieved me
like it has since l have been taking it.
The discomfort that came from indiges-
ton is now a thing OF the past and
can eat anything want without a bit
