Similar canteens will be opened at

have to lie on station platforms all
night. There will be dormitories at
such places and lunch rooms at all of
them where hot meals can be bought at
price just above cost.
Nearly fifty thousand soldiers are
passing thru eleven of these stations
every day. They will have convinc-
ing proof of American friendliness
when they find American women-the
women's bureau is now recruiting Atty
of them for such service-ready to help
them.
Just behind the firing line the Red
Cross will put field canteens. Extend
ing the work already begun by the
French Red Cross. we shall see that
every corps of the French army ara
ultimately our own, has one N thaSe
stations, which will supply hot and cosd
drinks to the men who are lighting.
Many of them now have nothing 10 re-
lieve their thirst except their days ra-
ton which they carry in containers
which may be smashed at any minute.
The canteen is placed in or near the
second line. and refreshing drinks are
carried right into the front trenches.
Each station can keep about l25 gallons
of hot drinks at the boiling point. ana
has several thermos containers holding
six to twelve gallons apiec9. Four
thousand portions-coffee, tea, cocoa
bouiIIon, lemonade. mint-are some
times served from one canteen N
single day.
Here. too, American workers VIII DC
found. The "convoyer" in charge OF the
canteen will be a Red Cross man, WIN
French soldiers to help him. Many Oh
the poilus will get their first glimpse
Of the American uniform in this way
lust the cup of coffee, or the cold orlhh'
NAV make all the difference between
sagging morale and spirited hghting..
To carry these plans the war coun
Gil has appropriated about s'oo'oo0'
which will serve to establish the can
teens and maintain them for ABOUT
+brae months. Much Of the Original
eouipment will be supplied by the
French army.

SAVES LIFE BY SHOOTING SELF

Retaining great presence of mind
and displaying great courage, Or
Vile O'Couor. of this city, saved his
life last Saturday by shooting him
self through the leg when he was bit
ten by rattlesrake, states the Col
den Transcript. This nervy act on
his part caused wound which bled
freely and prevented the poison from
the snakebite from permeating his
system.
O'Conor was picking chokecherries
In Clear Creek canon when he was
struck by the deadly fangs of the
snake. He was about three miles up
the canon and considerable dis
tance up The side of the mountain.
He had been picling cherries at one
c!ump of bushes for some time, and
had gone around he bushes several
times. Suddenly he stepped en- the
snake, which Immediately struck
him, the fangs entering the calf of
his right leg. O'Conor realized in a
second that he had been bitten, and
jumped to prevent the snake, strik-
ing him again. The snake did not
rattle at all. At this time of the
year rattlesnakes are said to be blind
and when in that condition they
never give the warming rattle.
OConcr knew in a moment that
tb . poison would Immediately begin
to flow through his system, and that,
being so far from help, his life could
net re saved unless he took drastic
actfon.~ He knew that II he. could
cause a wound that would bleed free
ly he had a chance of preventing the
spreading of the poison. Not hav-
ing a knife with him, he placed his
revolver against the place where he
was bitten and sent a bullet through
the fleshy part of his leg. He then
tied tOurniquet around the leg
above the wound and started for the
railroad track.
Being SO far from home, and al
ready weak from loss of blood, he
knew he could not walk the three
miles to town, and started up the
track, in the opposite direction from
town, hoping to find the railroad
section gang. After struggling along
for a half mile, he found the work
men, and they Immediately placed
him ON a handcar and made all pos
sible speed to Golden, md the inj
jured man was rushed to DR.. Garvin
for treatment.
DR.. Garvin did everything that
was necessary ard said that the
young man had undoubtedly saved
his life by his prompt and nervy ac-
ton.
