 F. Leon Hutchins, Superintendent
 Backus Hospital:
 Dear Sir
 I have been asked by the state coun- cH of defense to ascertain whether your hospital has on hand a stock of surgical dressings to be drawn upon in case of sudden military emergency. If not, it is urged that such be pro vided, sufficient to last two or Free weeks. and kept in a sealed box in readiness for such contingencies.
 If such material cannot be other wise obtained, the local Red Cross chapter would probably provide 1t. It is requested also that you send me a list of such articles when obtained.

 Could you take more pupil nurses. and how many? How many invalids ar injured men could you take care of on a three hour, 12 hour and A hour notice?

tend.

Young man. you are a locomotive;
you are a thing that goes by power
inside OF you; you are made to go. In
fact, considered as machine, you are
very far superior to a locomotive. The
maker Of locomotive is a man; your
maker is mans Maker. You are as
different from a horse or an OK or
camel as locomotive is different from
q wheelbarrow or a cart or coach.
Now. do you suppose that the being
who made you-manufactured your
machine and put into it the motive
power-did not make a special road
for you to run upon? My idea OF re-
ligion is that it is railroad for a hui
man locomotive and that just as sure
as it undertakes TO run upon a road
adapted only to animal power 1t will
bury its wheels In the sand, dash itself
among rocks and come to inevitable
wreck. G. Holland.

Usino Old Tin Cans.

We used to have some thrifty for
eign neighbors who always used their
tin cans several times over, says the
Syrncuse Standard. In opening
a No. 8 tomato or other can. place the
can bottom upward and lay Dig
very hot coal on the central circle or
cap. In minute remove the coal
when the tin cap is easily lifted. Re
move the contents of the can immedi-
ately, wash. dry thoroughly and store
in a dry place, saving the little circu-
lar tin centers for use again. When
II is wished to use the can again IN
preserving tomatoes, berries or other
foods, proceed as with new tin can.
If one is at all handy with the solder
ing iron the can is resoldered with no
trouble at all. Never put tomato or
acid fruits in any but tomato or berry
cans, as such have been specially
treated to withstand the action Of the
acids. Corn, peas, beans, etc, can be
put in used tin cans in which such
vegetables came, if they were opened
properly. Try your hand first at open
ing and resoldering any old tin can.
The work is very easily done.
