Understanding
DRUGGISTS AGREE
ON MONDAY HOURS
Grocers and Others Selling Food May
Open Until Noon for Sale Of Food
Only-Schools After This Week to
Be in Session Mondays.

About 40 of the Brattleboro meY-
chants met in the board of trade rooms
this forenoon to endeavor to arrive at
some uniform Interpretation of Fuel
Administrator Garfield s orders rela-
tive to closing ON Mondays for the next
10 weeks. Freeman Scott presided at
the meeting. The order was read over
and its provisions discussed as applying
to various individual eases and il was
finally decided that the proper thing
to do was to observe the day as a
general holiday without regard to the
individual situations with respect to
fuel
An exception to the general rule is
made in the case of stores handling
foodstutfs. Grocery stores and fruit
stores will be open until Il O'Clock to
sell food only
In reply to a question as to who
would enforce the order it was stated
fha+ that duty would devolve upon the
sheriff.
Drug stores are allowed certain priv
/ lleges. resnectinG the sale of medicines
and the Brattleboro druggists have
drawn up thesfollowing statement:
The following drug stores have sic-
nified their intention to open their
places of business Mondays until fur

from to Z (evening) for the sale of
medicines only. This being subject TO
change without notice should the pres
ent ruling be misunderstood or later

calls will be attended to the same as

a telegram to The Reformer today
from NJ. B. Hillegas of Montpelier,

as follows:
!" Under ruling of federal fuel ad-

Under a previous order of Commits
sioner Hillegas the pupils were notified

was no opportunity to ten them of the
change the schools are in session to-

How to Win the War

The question of who wins this war
is the question of who can endure the
longest and the problem of endurance
in large degree, is problem of food
supply and the ships to carry it. IT,
therefore, we can arrange our econo-
mics in consumption and our increase
in production so as to provide full
supply to the allies, and thus to get
the best use of the shipping, we can
contribute to the defeat of the subma-
rine as surely as do our navy and our
shipbuilders. The farmer of the Unit
ed States who works overtime and the
consumer who economies in his con
sumption are fighting the submarine
with positive and sure weapon.

A CALL TO THE WOMEN.

The call that comes from military
officials in France for five thousand
Red Cross nurses at once, and for
twenty thousand additional by Decem-
Der of this year, is easily explained by
the statements made by Senator Lewis
in the Senate last Thursday. Accord
ing to Senator Lewis. the United Stat
es now has over a million men on for
eign soil, and will have in France by
Dec. 1 of this year number equival-
The Cordele dispatch. (Cordele, Ga.) 19??-1971, 1918-06-12

ent to the present British army, which
we may be sure, is over two million.
The number of men in France is no
/ doubt much larger than was expected
or foreseen. And the same is true OF
! the future transport of soldiers. The
Germans offensive has created situa-
ton approximating an emergency, and
it has been necessary for this country
to throw itself into the breach. This
necessity implies not only a speeding
up of the shipment of men and mate
rials, but also speeding up of the
work of the Red Cross The Red
Cross naturally gauges it's program to
| fit in with the program of the army,
and when this is suddenly advanced,
an equal advance must be made by the
Red Cross
The question is primarily, of course,
] how are we going to get this large
number of nurses together in so short
a time 1t is question that will not
prove easy of solution. While there
! are still plenty of graduate nurses in
this country, they are all needed, and
i needed badly for civilian work. But
the needs of the army, of course, sup
/ ersede those of the civilian population,
so that the probability it that, after
some effort, the twenty-five thousand
needed will be found But their going
| will bring up an even larger problem.
| Having once sent so many nurses a.
! broad, we will find ourselves some
! what embarrassed at home by the
! shortage their departure creates. Thus
an equally difficult problem presents
! itself-the problem, not of recruiting
/ graduate nurses for foreign service,
but that of recruiting women who can
| take their places
There are, of course, a great many
women in the United States today who
! are non-practicing graduate nurses.
Some of these are women who have
;orsaken the profession of nursing to
go into other professions; some are
those who have merely retired; while
| others are those who have married,
! and who gave up nursing after their
marriage From these ranks will have
20 come the nurses who will be needed
Immediately to replace the twenty
five thousand who are going away this
year For some of these it may involve
sacrifice to go back into nursing, but
then sacrifice is the keynote of patri-
otism and victory, and it is not to be
doubted that these women will rise to
the emergency
But as the army grows the need for
I nurses will continue to grow. Perhaps
before the end of next year there will
be needed in France nearer fifty thou
, sand than twenty-five thousand nurses.
If the war lasts beyond another year.
as it well might, the need will be even
greater. To meet this constant and
probably increasing drain. we must
have thousand of girls and "0und wo-
men take up the profession of nursing.
No nurse is accepted for foreign duty
unless she has completed two or
three-year standard course. 1t is use
less for well-meaning but untralhou
girls and women to think OF goirS to
France. In France the amateur is not
wanted The beginner is more of

THE SIGHT OF YOU

THE SIGHT OF YOU
Come sit with me, love, while the
shades grow longer,
Out here in the glow of the after
noon sun;
The touch Of your hand makes my
heart grow fonder
Of all that is good when the day is
done!
The cry of the street, with it's tumult
and laughter
These deaden the soul when the
noon runs high;
While the noise of Gain and Mammon,
the master,
Shut out from the heart what love
would buy.
In the worlds swift mart, where Pro-
fit is calling,
No heartsease blooms by the hard
ened road,
But on each head new grief is falling.
And each must hear his heavier load
But here, where the magical twilight
fingers
And star-craft sail in the far-off
blue,
l feel the clasp of your fairy fingers
And find my peace at the sight of
you.
