MILFORD Red CROSS

Another call has come to the wo
men of Delaware to knit for the arm
les in France and to take care of the
nOn-cOmbatants next winter. The
following letter was received Monday
/ by Mrs. G.. W. Marshall from the
Delaware Chapter of the Red Cross
il Wilmington.
Ny Dear Mrs. MARSHALL
An urgent call has come from Gray
son ID. Murphy, Red Cross Commits
sioner in Europe, for 1900, GOO sweat
ers, scarfs, wristlets and socks, hand
knitted, for the use of our armies
and to take care of nOn-combatants
next winter.
He says that the winter is looked
forward to with indescribable dread
on account of the great suffering last
winter. when the lack of coal made
conditions very bad. This year they
will be even worse and it is the part
Of the women in America who can
knit to see that these warm things are
provided.
To little Delaware has been allott-
ed the knitting Of $500 sets, each set
including sweater, wristlets, scarfs
and socks. The Delaware Red Cross
is accordingly buying large quantities
of wool, which we hope to have ready
next week, and we are asking every
branch to do its utmost in this knit
ing work
The things should be shipped each
week as soon as made. as they should
go through before cold weather and
the transport is slow We only have
the time between now and October.
How much wool will your branch
take? We have women here who are
promising to knit US three articles
per. week. The directions will be
sent with the wool. They are the
same. l understand, as the former di-
rectiOns were, and the same needles
can be used.
II you need needles send order for |
these too. We are anxious to have /
at least 5000 women knitting in Del |
aware. as it will take that nancy to
do the work inNtime
Send all orders at once to
Chairman. Military Relief Com
mittee, Old City Hall. Whining
ton. Delaware.
Wool will be shipped to you as soon
IS it is received.
The scarfs can be knitted by COM
)aratiyely unskilled people. We are
anxious to get sock knit
RS, as few have the skill for that,
md they are much needed. No sock
fought can equal hand-knitted one.
Very sincerely yours,
EMILY P. BISSEL,
lug. IS, II Sec. Del. Chapter
In reply Mrs Marshall has told
liss Bissell to send wool for twenty 1
We sets and dozen needles, and /
lter we hope to need more.
Surely the women of lower Della
are will do their part of Delaware's
ortiOn for France, where the climate
much colder than Americans real
e and our men there will need warm
lings. Every woman in Milford and
lie nearby towns and country is want 8
to help knit or sew. The Century I
lub rooms, which are headquarters Z
IT this branch, are open on Wednes- !,
iys and Saturdays, and everyone is u
iked to come. However hard you

ALL CAN TAKE PART IN THIs

The State Board Of Agriculture has
called attention to the fact that one
OF the quickest ways to increase the
meat supply is to grow poultry; and,
while too late to do much this fall, Il
is a good time to start in the squab
business. Probably the price Of
grain will be considerably lower than
it has been the past few months and
the price OF meat will probably be
higher rather than lower. There Is
always a demand for squads, and
during the war times there will be
an unusual demand for their use In
hospitals and for wounded or con-
valescent soldiers.

Hickson Predicts The Fashions.

Hickson. the best known creator
of tailored suits on Fifth Avenue,
mikes the following fashion predic-
tions in Harper's Bazaar for March,
now ready:
Broadly speaking, the straight
silhouette will continue; skirts will
be noticeably narrower, jackets will
be shorter. and an appearance of SIM
pIicity will be striven for. Perfect
tailoring, plaincloth and Zone or self
colored buttons are the striking fea-
lures of nine out,,of ten street CO.'S
tunes; and even in top and motor
coats plain fabric, especially .coverts,
are more modish than the stripes and
checks of short time ago.

Chill dren Clean Up Florence.

Florence, February 25:--In clean
up campaign directed against tin
cans in the town, the children brought
to the Times office Friday afternoon
more than $4,000 tin cans. They had
been offered tickets to a show now
exhibiting here in exchange for their
cans, and it is on the count of the
tickets given OUT that the estimate
of the cans is based. The children
came in automobiles, trucks and
wagons and brought their cans in
crocus sacks, baby carriages, paper
bags, express and delivery wagons,
and some of them had them festoon-
ed around them in great strings.
They got a lot of cans, but there are
still some left for another clean up
campaign if the city health authori-
ties stir up the enterprise again. The
children were delighted with the re-
ward that they got from the carni-
val. The band played for them, and
hundreds of people came to see the
tin can parade. 1t was a rare and
Interesting sipht.

WOULD NOT STOOP TO
PICK up THE MONEY.
u Had Absolutely Lost all Interest in
Everything" Says Mrs Wooten.
SHE FEARED THE WORST
Strong, Happy Woman Now, But
Once Her Folks Seemed to Have
Lost Hope of Her Recovery.

/ had gotten in such bad health
that l did not take any interest in
anything before l took Tanlac, and
| often told my folks that if / should
see money on the floor l would not
stoop to pick it up" said Mrs T NJ
Wooten, of 153 Morgan Ave, Green
vile, as she began to tell how Tan
lac had changed her condition from
that Of almost and invalid to a
healthy, strong, happy woman.
Mrs Wooten's statement follows:
"Isuffered from complete phys
ical breakdown and the after effect
OF long drawn out spell of malaria.
| was very weak. So weak that
was in bed at least half of every day.
My appetite had left me and it SEEM
ed that I didn't want anything to
eat and couldn't find much to tempt
my appetite. l could not sit up
long at time, and had absolute
ly lost all interest in everything.
/ had been in very bad health
for two or more years and sure
was sick person, too. I had be-
gan to wonder if l ever would get
we'll, or ever little stronger, and [
could tell by the way my folks talk.
ed that they had about lost hope OF
me ever getting well again.
Then somebody told me to try
Tanlac, and I began taking it.
took six bottles and l have gained
at least twenty pounds in weight.
sure was skin and bones when l be-
gan taking Tanlac, but l am heavy
enough now and l feel like new
person.
"Tanlac did me more good than
all of the other medicine that /
took put together, and I certainly
did take lot of medicine before l.
took Tanlac. The Tanlac gave me
a good appetite almost from the
start and soon / began to improve
right along in health and trength,
and now l am able to do my house
work and my ironing and / am
strong and hearty. l give Tanlac
all the credit for getting me out Of
bed and on my feet again, and no
one can fully understand how much
Tanlac did for me unless they had
seen me before | took it, and [ had
been almost an invalid for two years
before | took Tanlac and then /
only bad to take six bottles to get
my strength back.
Il certainly can give Tanlac the
highest praise, because it changed
me from an almost bed-ridden in
valid to a strong, happy and hearty
woman"
