Help to Sufferers
Given by Ashland

When the call came several weeks
ago to help clothe the suffering
little Belgian children, a ready re-
sponse was made by the Ashland
women, to whom the appeal for help
is never made in vain. When stock
was taken of the clothing prepared it
was found that little girls had been
principally remembered, but for some
reason clothing for little boys had
been left out in the calculations of
the donors. This information reached
Mrs. Benton Bowers and she imme-
diately rallied a force of workers to
the aid of the little Belgian boys.
Among the cast-off clothing collect
ed for this purpose, only the best
were cut out and saved, and little
trousers were manufactured from
them. Wee blouses were also con-
structed, and when completed a large
number of little suits were in readi-
ness to gladden. the heart of any
small boy.
A new difficulty confronted these
workers when the garments were
finished, and this was the means OF
getting them to the recipients. Word
was received that it was impossible
to ship the clothing by freight, the
only means of sending them so long
a distance. Not to be deferred in
their works of charity and mercy,
the Ashland workers appealed to the
Belgian consul in San Francisco who
recommended Miss Simone Brangier'
a French woman, living in Agnew,
Cal. who might be able to devise
some means of getting the garments
TO the needy ones in Europe.
Mrs. Bowers Immediately commu-
nicated with Miss Brangier and sent
her by parcel post a sample OF the
garments made, with information
that a box was also being sent by
freight. Shortly after letter came
TO Mrs. Bowers stating that the gar
ments we're so beautifully made and
met the requirements of the needy
so essentially that they will be parcel
posted through to France immediate
ly. The trousers, particularly met
with her approval, which, according
to Miss Brangier, had the appearance
of being tailor made. She spoke pas-
ticularly about the box sent by the
women of the Baptist church which,
she promised, will be sent to GER
tain minister in France for distribu-
tion.
In connection with the letter OF
appreciation from Miss Brangier were
several letters from French mothers
expressing their appreciation of the
gift of needed clothing. Among these
translated into English is the follow
ing:
"Dear Madam:
Thank you for your kindness.
What gratitude towards these ladies'
who not knowing me, share my sor-
rows.
81 am in bed since three weeks and
my poor husband is at the hospital.
Consequently, misery and poverty are
with us. However, l am not dis
eouraged as long as there are some
kind people who though far away,
help me and this makes me forget
my sad tribulations. Thank them,
dear madam, tell them of all the
gratitude of the Malherbe family"
Another letter was from Fernand
Fanconnier, First Artillery, Briga-
dier, rue de Paris, who expressed
deep gratitude to the women of Ash
land for their kindness to his family.

tinue their attempts to approach
Mount Carno and reopen the line Of
advance through the Val &rsa, but are
repeatedly repelled BY Italian bat-

The details of the capture Of the

the fighting, although carried out by
small groups, was very bloody.
A battalion of Austrian Jaeger
troops advanced in three columns. One
succeeded in gaining foothold in

Germans Fail to Resume Attack
On British at Flanders Front

of Monroe, Utah, signal corps, have
been awarded the war cross for con-
spicuous bravery in repairing wires
under a heavy shell and gas attack.
There was a general movement be-
hind the German lines today, perhaps
owing to heavy casualties inflicted by
the American artillery. The activities
were above normal. The French
brought down a German plane in
flames today back of the American
lines.
Late in the day two lieutenants
flying in the same field attacked
four enemy planes. Their guns
jammed, however, and they had to
abandon the fight.
The Americans decorated with the
war cross were Captain David Peter
son of Honesdale, Pa; Captain Nor
man Hall, Lieutenant Charles Chap
man, who is missing; Lieutenant Ed
ward V. Rickenbacher, the former
automobile racer, and Lieutenant
James Meissner.
The casualty list from Washington
last Sunday reported Major Paddock
as having been slightly wounded. He
is a nephew of General John j. PERISH
ing, and has been in charge of the
advanced telephone communications.
Major Paddock was born in Lin
coin, Neb., the son of General Pad
dock, who was killed in the Boxer
uprising.

Still another day has passed with
out the Germans renewing their Of
fensive in Flanders or Picardy. No
where have the infantry operations
by either side risen in Importance
above patrol engagements.
North of KENNEL, where the Ger
mans on Tuesday gained a footing on
Hill A, the lost vantage points have
been retrieved through persistent
counter-attacks of the French. Not
alone were the Germans forced to re-
cede hpt the French advanced their
line and also took prisoners.
Likewise south of Hailles, in the
Amiens region, the French have ta-
ken another bite into the German line
and warded off German counter-at-
tack. Throughout Wednesday the
British were left alone by the Ger
man infantry.
Enemy Uses Artillery.
Although thee nemy is keeping his
infantry to their trenches, he con-
tinues to use his artillery vigorously
against salient positions held along
the front, especially against Field
Marshal Haig's forces south of Albert,
and against the French north of Kem-
mel. The French north of Montdidier
and between Montdidier and Noyon
also have been under an intensive
fire.
With the American Army in
France, May 15.-American aviators
today shot down three German planes
in the Toul sector Five American
aviators were later decorated with the
French war cross.
Major Richard B. Paddock of the
signal corps has been recommended
for the war cross. Recently under
terrific fire he made an inspection of
the wire communications which was
not expected of him because Of his
rank. He discovered the wire cut by
the enemy and repaired it, being
wounded in the leg while doing so.
He is a native of Wyoming.

England Breeds Rabbits for Eood

England Breeds Rabbits for Food.
Rabbit breeding in England has been
undertaken by the government in an
effort to relieve the shortage of meat
due to the war.
The National Utility Rabbit asso.
citation, it was announced recently, has
established central breeding station
and stud exchange in Vauxhall, Lon.
don. The first club started in London
under auspices of the association is at
the Royal news, Buckingham palace,
The primary object is; to, builds 10 as
quickly as possible large supply of
the best pedigreed stock, which will be
sent to provincial breeding centers.
These in turn will supply breeding
stock to smaller stations.
Each of the larger provincial centers
will have 100 breeding does, while the
smaller stations will keep on hand
about 20 each. It is the hope of Off
clals that all allotment societies, food
production organizations, women's in
stltutes and many factories, munition
works, school and summer camps will
form rabbit clubs to be affiliated with
the national association.

DAIRY PRODUCTS.

What are the dairy products?
Milk, cream, butter, cheese, ice
cream, etc.
What are the distinctive qualities OF
milk, butter, and cheese?
Milk is called perfect food
because it contains all the food
elements in nearly the right pro.
portion for proper nutrition and
in the most digestible form; but.
ter is probably the most attract
i've fat and is 100 per cent digest
ible; cheese has high protein
value and is good substitute for
meat.
Why is the number of dairv cattle
In Europe diminishing?
Because Europe has had to eat
many dairy animals; because
shortage of labor has reduced fod-
der and help necessary for the
herds; and shortage of shipping
has limited the amount of i'm
ported fodder
Why do the Allies turn to US for
dairy products?
Because supplies reaching them
from Scandinavia, Holland, and
Switzerland are now largely cut
off, and shipping can not be pro-
vided to bring food from Austria
liza and New Zealand,
Why should we encourage our dairv
industry?
Because children need plenty
of milk and butter; because the
world faces a shortage of milk
and butter; and because dairying
is fundamental in much of our
agriculture.
How can we use dairy products most
wisely?
By using butter only on the
table; by using more skim and
sour milk and more whole milk:
by wasting no milk or butter.
May we use ice cream freely?
= Ice cream is healthful food
and offers an excellent way of
using milk products But it con-
tains sugar, which is one of the
foods we wish to save. Patronize
dealers who use corn sirup and
honey in place Of sugar, and when
making it at home, always use
other sWeeteners.
How much butter did we EXPORT tn
Europe from July 1, 1916, to july
/, 1915?
6,622,073 pounds, most of which
went. to the Allies. e-S q
How much cheese did we export in the
same period? 49,.
38,221,450 pounds, most OF
which went to the Allies,
How much condensed milk did we ex.
port in the same period? H.
99,541,098 pounds. All except
about 100000 pounds of this
went to the Allies.
lave we kett up the immensely in.
creased exports which marked the
fiscal year 1861?
No; from July /, 1917, to Janu.
ary l, 1918, we sent 20,O0O,OOO
!. pounds less butter and 10000 600 !,
4 pounds less cheese than in the
corresponding period year aro.
