RED CROSS ASKS
TON OF CLOTHING
Mechanicsburg Will Conduct
Campaign For Belgian Aid
September $3.50

Mcchanicshurg, Pa, Sept. IS.
Under the supervision of the Red
Cross, clothing campaign for the
Belgians will be held September 2S
to 80, and the people of Mechanics
burg and vicinity are urged to CO.
operate heartily. Every household
has spare clothing, worn or out
grown, of little use here, but des-
perately needed by the destitute
there. Again the Red Cross must be
the line of communication between
plenty and want. Ten million people
in occupied Belgium and France
are facing shame, suffering disease
and some of them death for lack of
clothing this winter. They must be
helped. We, who are we'll clothed,
can hardly appreciate in what dire
need these people are for lack of
necessities. Stocks of clothing and
raw material are long since exhaust
ed. But every person can contribute
of their accumulation at home here.
The Mechanicsburg chapter of the
Red Cross is asked for one ton of
clothing as their quota and it is
earnestly hoped that the committees
will find ready response from the
people, SO there will be no difficulty
in oversubscribing the allotment.
Committees will be appointed in the
near future for the work, which is
considered of utmost Importance.

"WHAT PLACE is THIS?"
SHOUTS MORGUE CORPSE
"Undertaker's? Well, It's Nice and
Warm Here; Guess I'll Stay
All Nidht"

Cedar Rapids, Iowa. A prostrate
body, covered with a blanket, was
borne into the embalming room of a
local morgue at the early hour of
a. m. Solemn-faced men stood by in
the dim light as the undertaken drew
back the blanket and gazed down on
the still face and the closed eyelids.
Suddenly the corpse sat up and
looked around.
''What place is this?" he asked un-
concernedly. AN undertaker's? Well,
it's warm here anyway. Guess I'll
stay all night" And he settled back
to continue his nap, drawing the
blanket up around his chin.
There had been most confusing
mistake.
A body destined for burial in this
city and an injured convict being re-
turned from prison camp at Granite
to the reformatory at Anamosa, ar
rived on the same tram.
"There's your corpse" a policeman
had told the driver of the morgue
wagon as he saw the stretcher bearing
the injured man hauled out of the bag
gage car. The driver asked no further
questions.
Nor did the deputy in charge of the
man interfere. He believed the wagon
to be an ambulance which had been
ordered to meet the train.
And the next minute the corpse"
was conversing pleasantly with the
custodian of the embalming fluids.
Was the undertaken frightened? He
was.
But what would you do if your
corpse sat up and shouted "Where am
l at?" in your right ear?

STEPS TO REMEMBER

Important steps the Gamer must
remember:
% Be sure that the fruits are
ripe, but not too ripe-that they are
in prime condition. Vegetables should
be fresh, young and tender, as such
harbor fewer germs than stale, bruis-
ed, or decayed ones.
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1918-07-04
CAN FOOD AND PRESERVE THE NATION

Practically all fruits can he canned
at home in ordinary Gamers or in II
large vessel with tightly fitting cover.
In fact, fruits are easier to can than
most vegetables.
Canned fruits preserve most o fthe
delicate flavor and succulence OF fresh
fruits and are the nearest substitute
for, fruits fresh from bush or tree.
Do not coo kor handle fruits in gal
vaniZed vessels. The fruit acid at
tacks the zinc coating and makes the
product dangerous to health and
spoils its color and flavor.
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1918-07-04
