To Prepare the System
for Spring

The change of seasons Is always
severe on the human system. Parhc-
ularly is this true of the change from
winter to spring. With the change Of
seasons there is also change going OIL
within the human system that is very
trying on the average person unless
nature IS given some assistance.
The severity of winter has a wear
ing effect and leaves the body in a
rundown condition. That is what Is
meant by the general debility which
,seems to affect so many people, COM
monty called Spring fever" ANY
one Is liable to feel its depressing n
fluenoe.
At this season men who are ,igcr-
Gus and active and need all their
strength IN their daily pursuits. find
creeping over them feeling of weak
ness which increases until their entire
system becomes WORKOUT and
breakdown seems imminent
Women become nervous and tired,
their household duties seem more
than they Can stand. they can hardly
drag themselves around. so weaken
ing is the "all-run-down" feeling which
takes possession Of them.
Spring ailments are common 10
children. for this is the season that Is
most severe on their little bodies. They
become puny. lose appetite. are cross
and irritable. all because they are moi
IN the proper physica! condition to
stand the change.
Why Is this general rundown.

lent just as this season? TIE reason IS

girls participated. Masked and in
gorgeous costumes the girls assem-
bled. in the gymnasium to witness q
mock wedding ceremony, perfect IN
every detail, from the splendid DEC
orations to the final congratulations
of the rejected sutton. Fortune tell
ing and ghost stories around the nre-
place in the parlor followed the fes-
tivities and two appropriate read
ings were given by Miss Margaret
Cruikshank. While they were enjoy
ing the popcorn balls. apples ana
grapes, as they sat on the moor, with
no light except from the CRATE, the
witch stirred the fortune-pot and
found 1t full of dainty parcels which
were poured into the lap of MISS

Many Calls On
The War Relief

The Fargo War Relief association,
for the benefit Of whose fund the
Writer'S section of the Fine Arts
club will hold a tea at the Gardner
hotel from 3 to $50 O'clock this
afternoon, has raised in the year and
half that it has been organized,
the sum Of S1.14s.64. The ladies
have done this either by personal
contributions or their own efforts,
having held several silver teas to in
crease their working fund. OF that
amount 800 was sent to the AM
erican- British French Belgian Per-
manent Blind Relief War Fund as
ISOLATION, headquarters New York. In
France alone there are several hun
dred blinded men with additional
mutilations, in England, France and
Belgium together there are over g.
600 totally blinded men. and nearly
$4,000 men blinded in one eye, many
of whom will eventually lose the
sight Of the other eye. The magni-
tude of the work already undertaken
BY the Red Cross precludes it from
coping with this situation, and the
care and individual tenderness neces-
saTy to uplift, encourage and re-
habiiitate these brave martyrs must
be given primarily by voluntary
helpers with funds furnished by
private subscription. Any American
soldiers blinded in the war will bene-
ut to the fullest extent from this
fund, which is being used to redeem
the victims from hopeless despair
and to send them forth equipped to
do mems work, provided with tools
and materials to enable them to hold
their own again. Those coming per-
sonally in contact with these cases
-
full, more heartrending than that of
blinded soldier during the first
days that follow his wound. The joy
of bringing hope back into his soul
Is ample reward, say those admins.
tertng to the blinded. The number
OF French blinded soldiers is more
than three times that of their Brit
ish comrades, and the main barrier
in the path OF satisfactory treatment
for them is lack of funds.
This is only one Of the many spec
ial funds to which the branches of
the National Surgical Dressings
committee, Of which the Fargo as
ISOLATION Is one, contribute. The local
War relief has also collected quite
q fund for the French orphans, a
number of whom have been "adopt-
ed by Fargo women.
