THE PRISONERS
MOST PITIFUL
Y. VI. c. A And X. OF G., Doing Won.
derful Work Among
Them

exchanged prisoners of war come
back to Italy by way of Lake Como
and of all the sights of this war, that
OF an arrival of exchanged Italian
prisoners is the most pitiful
In Italy Austrian prisoners are well
cared for, well-treated, well fed. They
go home well and strong. In return
for them Austria sends back human
wrecks, horrible TO see. 1t sends back
men mutilated, men wasted by starva-
ton and disease. men who have suf-
fered the most horrible cruelties. AT
each arriving train comes In halfsthe
returned PRISONERS have to be carried
off in litters. Not because they are
wounded, nor ill, but because they
have been STARVED.
Each train is met by the American
Y. NJ. c. A. with cigarettes and such
things as the soldiers want. Y. NJ C.
A. secretaries pass among the poor
fellows giving them what comfort they
can and what assistance is possible
Secretaries representing the "Y,'
Knights of Columbus, Y. w. C. A, Sal
vation Army and Jewish Welfare
board, are doing wonderful work
among the prisoners.
The sight of the men is like the
sight of a famine. Men are literally
reduced TO skin and bone. they are
walking horrors.
From far and near friends and rela-
tives of the prisoners come to meet
them,-hoping. hoping that their loved
ones will be in the consignment. One
poor old mother, living in a distant
province of Italy, walked to Como no
less than four times, vainly waiting
for her only remaining son. At last
the government took notice of her
and procured her transportation on
the railroad
AT last her son came All the re-
turning prisoners were off the train
and it looked as if her sixth visit were
in vain. but presently a litter was
carried off the last car She had not
been prepared for this, for her son was
still pictured in her mind as the
strong, hearty boy who had gone away
from her.
Supported by Y NJ c. A. man she
drew near hesitatingly, but turned
away her face. She could not bear to
look. Neither she nor her son had
been fortified against such a meeting.
But the boy rose to the emergency.
He stretched out his emaciated hand
and grasped hers and drew it against
his cheek. Mother" he said in Ital-
ian, II haven't but one eye left and
only one leg-but I'm your son yet |
love you as much as il l were whole
Aren't you glad to see me-"
She burst into tears-tears of grief
and of Joy. and threw herself upon his
body, mumbling his name, cuddling
him.
And so they come. Skeletons, hor-
rors, monsters, "MUTILES" sent back
by Austria in exchange for well-fed
healthy, happy Austrians. The con-
trast is one that speaks with an elo-
quence not to be forgotten.

E A T
More Vegetables Instead of More
Cereals and Meat; More Fruit
Instead of More Sugar

This to a certain extent is some
thing which the American people
should try to do this next year in
their efforts to save the extra amounts
of cereals, meat and sugar which must
be sent to the Allies.
As with any short statement, how
yer, 1t is difficult to tell the whole
truth in few words.
Vegetables and fruit alone would
not be an ideal diet for man, even
If he we're given all the fat he needed.
Milk and some cereals should be
added.
Meat is not necessary, but since
we can have some of the lighter
weight beef and some pork. as we'll
as normal amounts of mutton and
lamb, it is we'll to eat little because
most people enjoy its flavor so very
much. On the other hand. a little
of it can we'll 'go long way"
The point is this: Ordinarily fruits
and vegetables form about one-tenth
of our food, figuring on the "calorie"
basis. They can supply about one
third without the least danger to our
health

THE CALL OF
THE GAS MASK
What You Can Do To Answer 1t.
A Duty You Should Not
Neglect

Do you know that (200) hundred
peach stones will produce sufficient
carbon 10 protect one of "our boys
from German gas, and that pounds
of nut shells will do the same?
One day. not long after the out
break of the war. the Germans intro
duced-along with air raids on help
less women and children, unrestricted
submarine warfare on neutrals. liquid
fire and barbed wire entanglements-
poisonous gas which was projected
in clouds in the direction OF a ballant
regiment of Canadians. Caught un-
prepared and absolutely unproteC ed.
hundreds were overcome A new and
more hideous form of warfare had
been placed on the market, labelled
made in Germany"
Preparations were Immediately be-
gun TO alleviate its effect Masks were
invented and have been used most sue
cessfully; and with a gas mask every
American soldier is equipped, and
drilling to promote expediency in put
ting it on and removing it is an i'm
portant part of the training for over
seas service. Every soldier MUST
have gas mask,-only those who
have seen and felt the horrible effect
that being "gassed" has on men can
truly realize the awfulness of meeting
a gas cloud unprotected.
Do you know that every man, every
woman and every child can help make
a gas mask for one of our soldiers
That each and every one of you can
strike a vital offensive blow at Ger
many? That YOU can help take some
miles of trenches on the Western
Front? Do you know that you can
meet and overcome made in Ger
many" with made in the U. S. A?
The Government knows that you
can and will, and for that reason has
asked the Red Cross TO put to you the
urgent necessity for obtaining carbon
for the manufacture of these gas
masks. The Government expects
and rightfully-every organization and
every individual in the country to CO.
operate in this movement to collect
fruit pits and nut shells.
Here is list of the different ma
terials which will fill the desired need:
Peach stones or seeds, apricot pits,
prune pits, plum pits, olive pits, but
ternut shells, date seeds, cherry pits,
Brazil nut shells, walnut shells eng
lish or native), Hickory nut shells.
When the gas attack warning
sounds in the trenches, what is YOUR
boy going to do to save his life? You
have the answer-in nut shell.

ton, w. Va. Today this city, built
under contract for the Government
for the manufacture of smokeless
powder, houses $4,000 workers in the
powder plant operated by the Hercu-
les Powder Co. One of the first needs
was a person to head the bureau of
information The live girl reporter of
Charleston, W. Va, Valetta Wood, was
chosen for the job. and she made
good. Miss Wood is regular mine of
knowledge. No one is admitted to
the plant, except by pass. Miss Wood
practically knows every man, woman
and child associated with this big in
dustry. If you want to know who's
who at Nitro. ask Miss Wood.
Miss Woods thirst for knowledge
and her excellent memory for both
faces and facts have been OF inesti-
mable value to the heads of Nitro.
She has capitalized her talents, which
were wasted on the local newspaper,
and is one of the best-paid women
at the plant.

THE DUTY OF ALL
PEOPLE rs TO BUY BONDS

while enthusiastic reports of the
progress of the Fourth Liberty Loan
campaign are being received from
many parts of the country, subscrip-
tions filed with the incorporated
banks and trust companies and re-
ported to the Treasury Department
for the first four business days of the
campaign, totals only Six Hundred
Twenty-Six Million, Five Hundred
and Six Thousand Dollars. In order
that the full amount of Six Billion
Dollars may be taken, subscriptions
must be received at the average rate
of over Three Hundred and Fifteen
Million Dollars for each of the nine
teen business days in the campaign,
and yet up to date subscriptions are
being received at only about one-half
this necessary rate.
while / am confident that the
American people will in the end COM
plete the enormous task now before
them, desire to urge every one not
only to subscribe to the utmost of his
ability, but to subscribe at the ear
Hest possible moment in order that
his subscription may serve as an in
SEPARATION to others.
THE campaign is handicapped by
two factors: the first being the un-
fortunate spread of influenza through
out many of the Eastern States, nee
stating the cancellation of public
meetings, parades and other demon
STATIONS in behalf of the Loan. This
condition makes it necessary for the
people to come forward with their
subscriptions without waiting to be
called upon. The second unfavora-
BILE factor. and by far the most seri-
Gus one, is the feeling which is pre-
valent in some communities that the
glorious news from the battle fronts
reflects a military situation which
warrants a slackening of our efforts
here at home. Nothing could be fur
Their from the truth and no more in
sidious propaganda than this could
be circulated by the enemy.
THE time is ripe for the final
stroke which shall lead to a complete
victory and enduring peace. but that
stroke cannot be delivered in a day
or week. Germany is not yet crush
ed. She has millions of strong fight
ing men still on the battle lines and
with invasion of their own territory
facing them they viii fight even more
desperately than heretofore. The
strength of our military efforts must
be multiplied. Our fighting forces
must feel behind them the steadying
support of the American people. The
supply of American arms and ammu-
milton must not be interrupted or di-
ninished. Now is the time for speed
and the maximum of force at the
present time means an earlier return
of Our Boys from the bloody battle
fields-means the saving of American
lives and the winning of glorious
and conclusive victory"

CHANCE FOR
NEGRO WOMEN

Negro women are not taking full
advantage of the United States En-
ployment Service local offices, ac-
cording to some of the officials of
branch offices. who are anxious that
these women should be better inform
ed regarding the aims and methods
of the Services work.
In Memphis and other Southern
cities. although the local offices are
sought out by men, the negro women
do not appear often, and it is felt
that not enough attention has been
given to informing them Of the pur-
poses of these offices. The Service is
anxious to place women in positions
which pay well and which they can
fill without injury to their health
Among the jobs that have been open
ed to women are places in hotels,
factories, offices and private homes.
The Memphis records showed. that
of the first 1000 women and girls to
seek the aid of the local Office, barely
a dozen were negroes.

Blessed is the girl who has found

was difficult to satisfy If she saw
a woman of prominence hurrying to
make a train, this news-gatherer

BIG SHIPMENT OF KNITTED
C00nS

Mrs. w. F. Carson, county chair
man Of knitting, reports the follow
ing shipment Of knitted goods this
week:
274 pairs of socks, 157 sweaters,
G5 muff,ers, 25 helmets, 36 pairs Of
wr1stlets.
This applies on Quota No. | for the
county. II will be noted that the
socks are still far short. Knitters are
urged to make socks, nothing but
socks. Our quota calls for 1912
pairs.
Word has reached US from differ
snt parts of the county that feporss
are going the rounds that knitters
are 20 discontinue work and that fac
tories are to do the knitting in the
future. This is German propaganda.
Pay no attention to it whatever.
Red Cross workers receive their in
structions through Important Items
from st. Louis and from County
Headquarters at Beaver. These two
are our only sources of information.
Pay no attention whatever to any in
struetion read or heard from any
other source. The Red Cross organ
ization is not haphazard one. In
structions are issued in a definite,
business-like way. Without workers
receive word from Important Items
or from Beaver County Chapter, fol-
low the instructions you have and
rest assured you will be notified of
any change.
Another matter that has come to
rs is that women, perhaps meaning
veil but hindering the work never
theless, are continually spreading
propaganda as to what the Red Cross
rs doing here, there and yon-Okla-
hons City, Enid, Wichita, Kansas
City, etc. To these women we will
say that we are not responsible for
the work those cities or any other
town or city does hut we are respon-
ibIe for the work Of Beaver county
znd are directing the same according
TO the orders given US from Division
Headquarters. We kindly request all
such women to desist from interfer-
ing with the progress Of the work in
this county, by quoting what other
points are doing and criticizing the
workers here, and urge all workers
Of the county to pay no attention at
al to such propaganda. Beaver
sounty's work is being accepted at
st. Louis headquarters every week
which is evidence enough that 1t is
up to the Red Cross standard. Fol-
low the directions given by those
authorized to direct the different
lines of work and pay no attention
whatever to the suggestions or crit
icisms Of others but kindly report all
such interference with work to
county headquarters. The Beaver

County Chapter connot and will not
permit further interference with the
work in this manner and shall report
all such cases in the future to the
County Council of Defense for inves-
tigation. There may be those who
do not know it, but it is time that
they were finding out that interfer-
ance with Red Cross work and retard-
ing output by false reports, etc, is
giving aid and comfort to the enemy
and is an act for which they viii be
required to pay the penalty II contin-
ued. As we said before, those re-
.eonsible for the different lines Of
work, are the only authorized direc-
tors ard workers need have no fear
but that they will be notified from
headquarters il changes are to be
made in this county. Until so mott
fled, follow the instructions you have
and pay no attention to any other,
nc matter from what source.

FLOWER QUEEN cATANTA

The Flower Queen Cantata and
Patriotic Program given at the Globe
last night, under the direction Of
Mrs. o. ID. Smith and Mrs. Ed. Hum
phrey, and which was rendered by
the children Of the town, for the ben
eft of the Junior Red Cross fund
was one Of the best entertainments
that has been given in Beaver in a
long time. Mrs. Smith and Mrs.
Humphrey put in a great deal Of
time drilling the children but the
splendid manner in which they rem
dered their program will amply repay
them for their labors and certainly
reflects much credit upon their in
structors as well as the children. The
program was greeted by full house
and all went away feeling that they
had been creditably entertained.
