'On the platform were the Red Cross workers

known the blessing of Red Cross help. The story
OF Castor is typical
CASTOR is little boy aged seven who walks
with crutch. His father had gone to- fight the
Boche; his mother managed to keep the home
until a certain day when the siren blew. That
day Castor and his sister were playing in the
yard and ran to the cellar when they heard the
first blast. They had been told to do SO. When
the siren ceased they went back to play in the
yard.
Then something happened, and for days after
he came out of the hospital CASTOR couldn't for
the life of him remember what it was.
The thing that dropped in the yard tore away
one leg and mangled his sister.
While he was in the hospital his mother disap-
peared. So they put Castor on train for
Evian.
The Red Cross nurse was helping Castor
along the road he handled his crutch awk-
wardly as yet when woman shrieked and
gathered the cripple to her bosom.

war has given splendid evidence, through the

suffering wherever encountered The daily
record Of incidents which the widespread Red
Cross organization meets suggests how universal
is the need for help. The need is so vast that
only universal answer can cope with it.

THE school children of France have learned
to slip on their gas masks as handily as their
fathers in the trenches. The regions under gas
fire are growing with the increasing range Of
the big guns, for more and more Of the shells are
gas shells.
No matter how constant this menace is, or how
near to the lines town may be, the future Of
the French boys and girls is not neglected, and
the schools go on But the days routine is varied
by the drills. when, at a given signal gas masks
are slipped on, just as at other signals, which
mean bombardment, the children run to the cell
lars or fall fiat the floor to protect themselves.
When the Red Cross began to help these
children, it was found that many of them were
mere infants, some less than one year old. The
timer children could not manage the gas masks,
and for these and for the children who had been
he~ded together in old barracks, dirty and prac-
tically UNFINISHED, and with no sanitary appli-
ances, the Red Cross established a home at Toul,
where hundreds Of tots are brought from the dan

left in their homes. ...:".t +.
THE American Red Cross is caring to-day,

cooperation with the French Government, to
save the lives of 10000 infants year.

MUCH FOOD IS WASTED
IN j. s., SAYS DR.. STECKEl

NEW YORK; Oct. 31.-Stratling
figures on the amount of food wasted
each year in this country Las been
published by d.. L. M. Steckel Of
New York university. DR.. Steckel
placed the loss at $200,000,000. The
causes assigned by the educator are
varied, depending largely on the Sec
ton of the country. In the west
and southwest prairie dogs and other
predatory animals are one serious
menace. Contagious and infectious
diseases, however, are the chief men
ace.
1.-THE milk and egk wastage in the
United States,' said DR.. Steckel, ''is
sufficient to feed the people Of Bel
GUM and Serbia for more than
year. We produce annually 1,500,-
600 dozen eggs, and it is estimated
that one-fifth of these are spoiled or
wasted on the farms and on the
way to the fconsumers."

SUPPORT MAC|E
". J. butcher, Well Known Labor
Unionist, Manages Campaign
For Shrieva|ty Candidate.

Frank L. Magic. in spite of the han
dicaps under which he has been labor
ing during the past month, is making
an exceptionally strong canvass for
sheriff. w. J. butcher, the we'll
known labor man. is managing Mr..
Magie's campaign. In a statement to
the public this week, MI. butcher has
the following to say with reference to
Mr.. Magie's candidacy:
"Mr. Frank L. Magic, candidate for
sheriff of st. Louis county, seeks cleo
ton on his record as citizen and pub
lie servant. He has lived in Duluth
for the past rs years. He is a man Of
high purpose, always trying to do
right and ever willing and ready to
help his fellow man.
"He served as deputy sheriff for a
number of years. In that capacity he
demonstrated exceptional ability and
performed his duties in a faithful,
fearless, and efficient manner. His
varied experience in that position gave
him an intimate knowledge of the
sheriff's office.
''Mr. Magic is therefore qualified in
every way for the position he is seek
ing. He recognizes that the office is
a public trust. and he sees in it an
opportunity to further serve the inter-
ests of humanity. Mr.. Magic is pledged,
if elected, to enforce the laws fearless
ly and without playing favor to any
one, and to administer the office fair
ly and impartially.
Merit and faithful service surely
ought to be rewarded. No one will
gainsay the fact that Mr.. Magie's rec
ord entities him to a we'll deserved
promotion. The voters undoubtedly
will recognize this fact in the coming
election and will reward Mr.. Magic
for his faithful service by electing him
sheriff.
MANY of the union men are VOL
UNFAIRLY supporting Mr.. Magic in this
campaign. Reports are very reassur-
ing, and the conviction is generally
expressed that Mr.. Magic will be elect
ed by a very handsome majority"

MUCH STEEL NEEDED.

NEW YORK. Oct. ST. At a meet
ing of steel manufacturers it was
stated that the government has given
notice that it is imperative to meet in
full the steel needs Of this country
and its allies. These demands of the
last six months amount to more than
100000 tons, and are rapidly ap-
preaching the 25,000,O00 mark.
Rolling mill production is said to
now have a capacity of 100000
tons or less. The railroads will con-
sumo the largest amount of steel,
ship building comes next, with the war
departments program third and the
navy fourth.
