HOSPITAL CORPS IS
IN NEED OF FUNDS
THIRD REGIMENT BOYS COME
FROM MANY CITIES OF NORTH
ERN lLLlNOlS--WOMEN BACK
ING MOVEMENT.

WANTED-A tund for the hos
pital corps of the Third Illinois
Infantry.
Members of the hospital corps of
the Third" have begun an active
campaign to raise company fund
Everyone who has been in military
life realizes how essential to the com.
fort and well-being of the enlisted
men is such a fund 1t is used to
supplement the mess, to buy the little
extras" on holidays and special occa-
sions, which every soldier expects
and delights in.
Every organization in the Third"
il is said has already accumulated a
substantial company fund, except the
boys who carry the stretchers and at
tend the wounded Unfortunately for
them, the hospital corps does not
come from single city, but is re
cruited from Ottawa. Rockford. De
Kalb, Aurora, Elgin and Woodstock
Accordingly no one city is standing
back of them and the the old rule
what is everybody's business is no
bodys business, seems to hold true.
The members of the corps hope to
call some attention to their needs.
They wish to let the several commune
ties know that the hospital corps of
the Third" is a separate and distinct
organization, that 1t has no official
connection with any other company in
the regiment and therefore that no
portion of any fund or other contri
buttons made to other companies will
be used for their benefit. They are
not complaining about their lot, but
they feel that if the public understand
the situation. the hospital corps would
not be the only organization in the
regiment with an empty treasury
Accordingly the corps members
thirty-three of them-are endeavorinp
to inform their friends and the public
In general Of the emergency. They
believe that If their status is under
stood, they, too. will receive the back
| ing of their home communities
Women's clubs about the northern
part of the state have interested
! themselves in the hospital corps and
have called upon the Ottawa club &c
enlist in the cause and aid in raising
fund for the boys. All communica
tions or contributions should be SEN

licer. Sanitary Attachment Third Hi
