ARE SENDING MEDICAL
 SUPPLIES TO FRANCE. Norwich Chapter Hears of American Rcd Gross Activities.

 According to an announcement re- ceived by the Norwich chapter of the Red Cross. the American Red Cross, in response to an urgent request from Dr. Frank Billings, head of the Red Cross commission to Russia, is send ing large quantity of medical and surgical supplies to meet the urgent needs of the Russian military hospi- tals. This supplements an earlier con: signment which was forwarded for inn. mediate use when the commission sailed to Investigate the Russian situ- ation.
 The commission carried with it s200,00 worth of such material in- cluding among other supplies over 50 microscopes and 45.000 slides, 4,60o clinical thermometers, 2sS operating knives, 23, 900 lengths of catgut, 1,7O0 ice caps, 175,000 morphine sulphate tablets and 100000 antiseptic tablets.
 Russia has had great difficulty in securing. enough hospital equipment and supplies to take proper care of her large armies. Both shipments were planned to include a we'll rounded stock of the most useful chemicals
 In the new consignment. for which the war council appropriated $160,0o0, there are 180,000 tablets of quinine sulphate, 1000 pounds of chloroform. 10000 tablets each of atropin and
 
 50,000 doses of anti-typhoid vaccine, also tetanus antitoxin and diphtheria, smallpox, cholera and plague vaccine, 10000 pounds soap, 25 dozen hot water ings and pads, 10000 bandages and rolls. 1000 blankets and dozen stethescopes And various laboratory supplies.
 Among the other items in the ship ment are these: 5000 co. digitalis, 1000 cocaine tablets, 20 coIlapsibie operat- ing tables. 14,40o needles, 200 pounds rubber tubing, 10000 pounds absorbent cotton, 5000 safety pins
 This unit of supplies was purchased in accordance with a plan carefully worked out by pr. Billings and his which includes experts in medicine, public health, dietetics, so cial service and transportation. The commission is receiving the full CO., operation of the Russian government and will shortly make a detailed re- port to the war council of the ways in which the Red Cross can most effect lively aid Russia. On its recommend ation the entire Red Cross program for Russian relief will be based.
 Henry P. Horn. formerly a vice president of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, a member of the commission, is cooperating with the American railroad comuission pre- viously sent to Russia in securing the and the other relief shipments which will follow as they are called for by Dr. Billings. He has worked out a plan for Identifying Red Cross c0l- signments so that Russian railway men will facilitate their movement, and in spite of the congestion of the rail roads it is hoped that these supplies will be in the hands of surgeons and nurses in the Russian army hospitals in a short time.

RAISING FUNDS FOR
 THE FARM BUREAU
Thousand Dollar Goal Must be Reach
 ed This Month.

Next week is the last week in Which funds raised within the county can be applied to this years finances and a strenuous effort is being made to completely finance the Farm Bureau before October 1st to reach the goal The county wide campaign is now in full blast and returns are coming in rapidly from the different towns and cities and the prospects are that the 5000 necessary will be raised
 One of the principal arguments en- countered in the canvassing to date has been that so many organizations are soliciting funds for war purposes that it becomes a question of con- tributing to some and not to all. This may be worthy argument but should be used to the benefit of the Farm Bureau rather than against it.
