farm and together they won success.
Twenty four years ago last October,
Mrs Quick was married to Mr. Henry
Roether, who died about ten years
later.
Four years ago, when Mr. and Mrs
ferguson disposed OF their farm, she
accompanied them to this city and has
since resided here. The funeral occurred
on Friday afternoon and was conducted
by Rev. w. j. G. Bond. Very many
relatives and friends were in attendance

excellent woman.

CHRISTMAS SEALS

Within a few days the citizens Of
Mineral Point will receive an appeal to
purchase Christmas seals sent out by
the Wisconsin Anti Tuberculosis Asso-
citation.
The associations appeal should have
a gratifying response in Mineral Point.
The work of this association is a noble
one. To state the facts in the grim
terms Of the battle field 2243 were killed
and 1875 were wounded by tuberculosis
in Wisconsin last year. There is a
brighter side to the story when we con-
slider that hundreds were saved last
year through the efforts Of this organi
ZatiOn.
In the stirring days to come healthy
men and healthy women will be the
most imperative need of our country.
Buy this year more literally than ever
before. The work of this organization
is financed entirely from the sale of
Christmas seals. w. r. ROOD,

paign, and am sure that no district or
town would like to see their locality in
the disloyal column.
I fear tRlat the people who did not
sign these pledge cards failed to under
stand tkat if we did not return the
cards properly signed in goodly mum
Der that our county would be looked
upon as disloyal by the state and fed
eral authorities.
Let as remember, That every flag
that gies opposite the German one is by
proxy the American flag, and that the
armies fighting in our defense under
these Aags cannot be maintained through
this winter unless there is food enough
for them and for their women and
children at home. There can only be
food eaough if America provides it.
And America can only provide it by the
personal service and'patriotic CO opera
ton OF all of us. Wisconsin must do
aor paIc. 1o Save medC we muSC use
more poultry, rabbits and especially
fish and sea food in place of beef, NUT
ton and pork. Observe meatless day
every Tuesday. On other days do not
use either beef, mutton or pork more
than once daily. Use all left over
meat, cold or in made meats. Use
soups more freely. Use beans. They
have nearly the same food value as
meat.

FOOD FOR OURSELVES AND our ALLIES


The Omitted States Government has
been carrying on a campaign for the
conservation of food stuff that are re-
quired to feed our army and our allies.
This Campaign was not to make people
deny themselves the things that they
wanted to use for food. 1t was Cor the
purpose of substituting for some of our
common foods things that we could
substitute without denying ourselves
nutritious food, and thus save certain
food for armies and our allies. Food
pledge cards have been circulated
throughout the coGRty with the view
Of getting people to sympaSkize and
lend helping hand in this 'feod con-
servation. People say that they are
economis1ng and saving the food, but
that they do not care to sign the food
pledge cards. By not signing these
cards the direct purpose of the food
campaign is DISTRACTED because uni
versal pledge of this great nation to-
ward conservation Of food and assisting
in supplying our army, our navy and
our allies, directly reflects upon our
loyalty to ozr Government and cur in
dividual support. Ia many districts
cards have been returned, however, in
some instances few people in the dis
tricts who were supplied with cards
signed these cards and it is our plan to
make arrangements SO that we can
publish some of the results of the cam

Appalling need for dressings cause
10000 required by December 20.
Representatives of the Woman s
Bureau have just arrived this past
week from abroad. They state it is
hard for us to appreciate the great
quantities of surgical dressings that are
necessary. To enable us to better
understand this, they have informed us
that cases are numerous where an en-
tire box of dressings is used on one pa
tient, due to the fact that wounds are
SO large that many pads are used in
every case. The need is so great Maj
Murphy has asked for the million
meters of gauze and the Red Cross has
agreed to ship over three million dress
ings a month.
1t is unnecessary to add to the above
appeal. 1t should settle in everyone's
mind the question as to whether Or not
surgical dressings are being made
J
Qdirements. Reassure your workers
,nd refill your work room. Please
ash standard surgical dressings ( as
shown in e. G. 401) The co opera
tion of your branch is needed in order
to meet this urgent need. All branches
of Red Cross will give way to the sur
gical dressing during the next two
weeks.
Every woman ia Mineral Point, who
has an hour to spare is urged to some
to the rooms and assist in turning out
of which we are a Branch, has been
asked and have promised 10000 dress
ings by December 20, and we are asked
to do our share. The promise Of this
enormous number means that every
woman will have to work harder in
order to accomplish the work. Anyone
who is occupied during the day will
have the Opportunity to DO their part in
this work at night as the work room
will be open every day also every night
for the next two weeks and every
woman is asked to give UP everything
during this time and work at the Red
Cross rooms.
Mrs Hobbins in speaking of the End
said, This is the greatest call in the
history of the world and as the Madison
chapter has never failed yet in any de-
mands that have been made Of her,
felt sure that she would respond this
time and 1 was proud to promise tie
10000 dressings that have beea assigned
as the portion allotted to this chapter. I"
Large shipments will be made every
other day from Madison to Chicago,
where the dressings will be sterilized
and shipped to France Immediately.
