The work of women

Tn all the volunteer service of Red Cross none is more notable for devotion, none so notable for extent as that which the loyal women of America are giving in their chapter work. It is estimated that there are two million of these women, many giving most of their time to this work, all giving unstintingly. It'is they who do the handiwork of Red Cross it's surgical dressings, hospital gar- ments, knitted garments. To meet the demand for these articles appropriations of $11,O0O,OOO for raw materials have been necessary so far During the month of April 1918, the women Of the country produced approximately

STRICT MEAT ECONOMY

Are Urged to Avoid Resumption Of
 Meatless Meals and Days.

Tn making It's announcement that, fo- the present. there will be no rein statement of meatlsss days and meat Ices meals. the food admins tration is enphasizinx the absolute military necessity of strict meat economy and greatest possible elimination of wheat Milk and fish foods are sug- cested as meat and=zEheat substitutes in the oficial telegram from Washing ton. which was made public at Hart ford on Sunday as follows:
 The Food Administration is ex- tremely desirous of securing economy in the consumption of all kinds of meats without the reinstallation or the meatless day for the present. The necessities for shipment abroad to our army and the allies are very large ana amount to, roughly. 75,00o,O0O pounds Of meat and meat products of all kinds per weew, as against a pre-War nor nal of less than 15,O0O.OOO pounds. Even with these large shipments the allies have found it necessary to re- duce the consumption of all kinds ot meats and poultry to an average o1 about one and one-quarter pounds per week per person. in order that no further draft should be made upon the shipping that is now required for the transport of our soldiers. Our con- sumption of meats is about three ana one-cuarter pounds per week per per son and if we are to make both ends balance during the short marketing season. we must have further econ on1y.
 "If .he public will continue in the rigorous elimination of waste and will further economize by reducing the quantity prepared for each meal of all kinds of meat and poultry, more par ticularly beef, and will restrict their purchases accordingly. the food admin istration hopas that the necessary bal ance can be maintained.
 "A general adherence to these rec concentrations will avoid the incon- verierces which arises in many direc. lions from the meatless days and win .ause less interference in the daily nreuar7tion of food There is now seasonal abundance of milk products which can we'll be substituted in va riors forms The shortage of fish dur ing ihe past several months, due to the necessity of naval requisitioning of trawlers and enlistment of fishermen for the navy. should soon be consid- prably relieved by the expansion which has been arranged in othir forms of fishing"

The generosity of the American people keeps pace with the >fast-growing scope of Red Cross activities. The growth of Red Cross has been so amazing the multiplication of its activities so rapid, that few can be expected to know all that Red Cross means to the world in this hour of the worlds need. Many who are active in one Red Cross endeavor are unfamiliar with scores of other Red Cross pursuits.

Red Cross ideals

The strength of the Red Cross is in its ideals. The War Council expresses these ideals in three great aims:
 To be ready to care for OUT soldiers and
 sailors on duty wherever and whenever that
 care may be needed.
 ? To shorten the War-by strengthening the
 morale of the allied peoples and their armies,
 by aleviating their suferings in the period
 which must elapse until the American army
 can become fully effective abroad.
 8 To lay toandations for or enduring peace
 by extending message of practical relief
 and sympathy to the civilian population
 among our Allies, carrying to them an ex-
 pressien of the finest side of the American
 character.
 The American people are translating these ideals into faets-into money and personal ser- vice. Last June the War Council asked for 9lOeeeo,ooo and the people pledged $11o,oeo,- 600, of which $Ies, ,Ooe, ,oe0 has thus far been cellected-cellected at probably the lowest cost of collection in the history of such undertakings.

Red Cross commissions abroad Red Cross Commissions operate in France, Bel. gium, Italy, Greece, Serbia, Russia, Reumania, Palestine and Great Britain. The Commissions and their staffs are in the theatres of war, co. operating with the Army and Navy: forces. and with the military and civil authorities. of the Allied Countries; cooperating also with ether relief agencies, avoiding duplication of effeFt and confusion of purpose, assisting other agencies and assisted by them.
 As in Headquarters at home, so on the Coni- missions, are men and women of great ability. using their talents and their experience where they are most needed.
 These Commissions estimate the budgets for foreign relief, and the appropriations are made by the War Council after carefully scrutinizing and sometimes amending the budgets.
