The workers made 1,200 2x2 wipes
Tuesday. There was a comparatively
small attendance on that day.
Mrs. Frear, who has charge of
the surgical dressing department, has
just returned from vacation trip and
will be ready for work again next
week.
As different families give up boys
ftI military service, new workers are
added to the work room corps. 1t is
when the war is brought home to
US in this way that we realize the i'm
portance of the Red Cross work.
The surgical dressing class had a
record day Wednesday. They made
1850 2x2 wipes, which is the most
that has ever been made in one after
noon in this work room.
The workers who have completed
the course of instruction in surgical
dressing work or who have worked
72 hours in the work room, will be
given permit to wear the Red Cross
emblem on their headdress.
The boys in France read the home
paper and express their appreciation
of the fact that the women and girls
at home are busy at Red Cross work.
They feel that the folks at home are
helping them in their great task Of
winning the war.

You know we've been working
darn hard and have stuck to the old
front long time and that last shot
at IL o'clock, 18th day, 18th month,
was music. We made big fast adj
vance leaving divisions on our either
side behind so you can guess the
men who strung the wires lost some

before the infantry got to it, ! can
brag a little but won't bother here
Maybe you will see me in a paper,
as a photographer snapped me while
spanning large river with tele-
phone wire.
But now our advance has stopped
and it's all rest. We're in town
which isn't shot up very badly so
have a room with a fireplace and a
mattress to sleep ON. Of course, all
windows are broken out from shell
conclusion, but we are living like
kings.
Think of it, / haven't seen auto
lights, bon fires, candle light thru
windows or gone without gas mask
for months until now. One hardly
can realize that war is over. And
most of our battalion is coming
home. When do you expect US?
You know the Division I'm in so
perhaps can keep track Of me some
what. Really from the service we've
put in and the time we came over
there won't many loads go home be-
fore US. Wait until peace is signed
then we will know more. Mean

CHIPS FROM THE RIME BLOCK.

Well, Angel of the Record Book, turn
over one more leaf, and jot down my
resolutions. I shall try to make them
brief. But, come to think about it,
what will all the angels say when
they see my resolutions, same as every
New Years day? I suspect they'll
say: "That duffer has dragged out the
same old set, and he'll smash 'em all
by Monday, or by Tuesday night, I'll
bet! / wish we angels had q harp for
each and every time he. has made that
resolution to quit writing silly rhyme"
Poor Angel of the Record Book
You've got a man-sized job, writing
down the resolutions for the New
Years morning mob would sug-
gest you save your strength and over
head expense, by making up some rub
Der stamps for ten or twenty pence.
Just save the stamps this evening,
and file them all away. You'll need
them in a year from now, another New
Years day!

TAKE TIME TO LIVE RIGHT.

The season for good resolutions is
approaching. Thousands are resolv-
ing to begin the New Year by COM
mencing some effort at self-improve-
ment.
Most people suffer from poor health
because they say 'they haven't time
to take care of themselves"
The business man knows he needs
exercise, but denies himself because
he hasn't time.
Most people run their lives in such
a slipshod fashion that they haven't
time to eat properly, to think proper
ly, and to rest properly.
And the result is that they die ahead
of time because they haven't had time
to live properly.

September, "had almost as hard a
time Of it as the people themselves. At
Nivelle q poor man had some carrier
pigeons and the Bclgian's love for
them. But he had no food for them
and so was obliged to kill them. His
children cut off their heads and
ranged them along a window sill, and
underneath wrote: Died for their
cOuntry!' The Germans saw the little
heads and the inscription and the man
was sent for Is days to the Komman-

Cleanliness, Care and Regularity Are
the A, 3 and c Of Profitable Calf
Raising.

to allow the calves to nurse once and
thus obtain the first, or cOlostrum milk,
after which they are fed from pals. If
the calves are weancd early they are
more easily Taught to drink and the
cows forget them one
Weaving is a critical time, but if the
calves are handled properly at that
time there will usually be no trouble.
That is the time to pay particular at
tention to cleanliness, care and regu-
larity. All pals must be scrupulously
clean, and the pens kept clean and
plenty of bedding supplied. Damp
quarters or dirty pals will surely cause
sickness. Once stunted by sickness the
calves make slow growth and require
more feed for the same gains in
weight.
Young calves require fresh, clean
and warm mill,-not in large quanti-
ties but always a little less than the
appetite demands. AT first, four to five
pounds Of milk is sufficient for one
feed when given twice daily. When
fed in this way the feeds should be as
nearly as possible II hours apart. If
1t can be arranged, the calves should
be fed three times a day for the first
week and the quantity at u feed thus
CORRESPONDENCE reduced.
Regularity must not be forgotten, for
it is essential in calf raising. Regular
feeding and a uniform quantity pre-
vent much trouble. Never try to guess
at the quantity of milk; weigh it!
Don't estimate the temperature Of the
milk; use a thermometer! The finger
is not sensitive enough to gauge the
temperature Of the milk when it is be-
tween 70 degrees and 80 degrees +.
The first is too cold, the latter is right.
The quality Of milk is increased
gradually sc that at two weeks of age
the calves are getting daily II to 16
pounds apiece. At that age, if the
calves are vigorous, skim milk may be
substituted for whole milk. Make the
change gradually, substituting a pound
at a time. Usually the change takes a
week or ten days, depending on the
condition Of the calves. At the same
age, offer them n little clean dry grain,
such as bran; bright, clean hay also
should be placed conveniently. If skim
milk is plentiful, feed up to 20 pounds
Il day to each calf and continue for
several months. When it is scarce,
calves may usually be weaned at about
siX weeks and put on dry feed.
The care during the first few weeks
is very important if healthy calves are
to be raised. Cleanliness, care and
regularity in feeding return good
profits in strong, vigorous calves.

YALE OF SUPREME DEVOTION
Simple Explanation of Reason Why
Romance Of Abelard and Heloise
Will Never Die.

Romance never dies. for lovers are
born each springtime and the heart
Of the world is always young.
And so it is that to the modern thur
der Of the guns bombarding scissors
Is set the tune of an old, old romanc
that has spun like a gold-and-scarlet
thread through eight changeful cen.
turtles, spun and spun, and lost none
OF its color, one of it's appeal. And
the story winds about the town of
scissors and ends in Il crumbling old
tower dropping to it's last decay.
And the romance was the tragedy
OF Abelard and Heloise, lovers who
have typitied the passion of devotion
to all the lovers of the universe. The
story itself was not uncommon-the
love of a teacher for his beautiful pu-
Pill, her winning and her undoing. The
tale of Faust has the same harsh note
of betrayal. But it is the supreme de-
votion of Abelard and Hcloise that
make them types; that, and the setting
OF the romance which ran through
Paris and other towns, and drew to
Il close in the tower where Abelard
was q prisoner of those prosecutors
Who held his writings to be seditious.
Els marriage to Heloisc, his %rcnunci-
alton Of her, and the final taking. by
both of them. of the VOWS that sent her
to a nunnery and him to 81 monastery,
all of this awaited him nothing. There
IN the town of scissors, lighted now
by the blaze Of bursting shells, he was
compelled to burn with his own hand
his book in which was set forth the
"hercsy" of which he was accused.
What a contrast between the feeble
light Of that burning manuscript and
the flare of the battle we are waging
fol the liberties of the world!
And yet the burning of that book
a Il momentous event at the Sois-
sons council of ecclesiastics.
But Abelard had been Il great teach
er, and all the country had throbbed
and thrilled with the serial story of
his romance with the beautiful He
lolse. And so, in the later years trav-
rlers have turned aside from the beat
en- tracks and sought the old tower on
The outskirts Of the French town for
h glimpse OF the prison where he Ian
g,ished. The steps were worn in
grooves by the thousands of feet that
went as on Il pilgrimage to the shrine
OF a perfect love.
There today the guns roar and
The shells take their screaming
dight-there ut SoiSsons-but under
The curtain OF smoke and the hail of
lead there spins on and on the gold
and-scarlct thread of the romance that
