CAPT. sHEPPARD's LETTER

The following extract from letter from Capt. F. w. Sheppard, now Tn France, vii, be of interest to the mem bers of the Red Cross as 1t tells of the splendid work being done by this branch of the service in war ridden Europe:
 Since you are interested In the Red Cross, I think I shall tell you a few things that might be of interest In tha first place, I may say that I can't inn agne what would happen to the Ameri- can soldiers if the Red Cross, Y. M. c. A. and such organizations did not help as they do Everywhere an importan move is on there are Red Cross ladies and men,. dishing out hot drinks, choco. late, etc.. and always with cheerful word, to say nothing of the hospitals and canteens they run. I can tell you of one i.cident; My regiment com menced entrainlng one afternoon at m at --. All night and up into the next day they worked every minute. As one battery would roll out, another would roll up. All the time there were two girls and a man dishing out coffee, tea and sandwiches. The man worked the entire time, the women by reliefs. They used an empty water tank nearby as "bou. doir," and while one of the girls was gently snoozing, horse kicked it. It sounded like Song Tam, and the little feminine thought her time had come. She crawled back, however, and the next morning looked o. K. These people dc world of good. which America at home will never know,

of Plant Juice, the famous herbal stom- ach remedy. which is combination of natures remedies-roots, herbs, barks and berries, which are essential to health. That is why it regenerates the blood supply, overcomes rheumatism, elimin ates catarrh and puts the stomach in condition to digest the food properly.
 That this is proven conclusively, it ie only necessary to listen to the signed statements made daily by local peop.e who have given Plant Juice fair trial. One of the most recent is from Mrs. Ida Reguett of 136 Commerce street. a popu- lar Inglenook lady who has a host Of friends. She said.
 T have suffered with indigestion and dyspepsia for the past four years. Ali my food fermented in my stomach, caus- ing gas to form. I was bloated and suf- fered intense pain. I had palpitation of the heart, shortness of breath, and ter rible pains in the back of my head 1 had bad pains through my back and shoulders. ] was very nervous and coult not sleep at night. and in the morning I would be as tired as if I had never been to bed. There was always burn ing sensation in my stomach. I could not touch meat or vegetables and could not digest the lightest kind of food. I have taken Plant Juice for several weeks and can digest my food and have good appetite for my meals. I have no more aches or pains and can sleep the night through. I feel that I can honestly rec- ommend Plant Juice to anyone"

For the Little War Ornhans

In the Woman's Home Companion Anna Steesc Richardson gives this ,n- teresting report of the Stage Women g War Relief bins for baby clothes for the war orphans Of France and Belgium: But the most fascinating parcels vera those which contained garments already worn by American babies.
 "A box which was on exhibition for many days and with which the workers parted reluctantly came from the wife of an Amei ican soldier now in France H. enlisted on the day that his baby was three months old. His wife was chang ing ther baby to short clothes when she read the appeal for war orphans in the April Companion. Into great box went
 every stitch of her baby's layette: daint, ly embroidered slips, 'Gertrudes' of soft. silky flannei, little binders and shirts so carsfully laundered that they wera soft as new, albatross jackets, crochete
 bootees, Baby Bunting of white cider
 down. and even cunning hot-water bot
 tie popped into a pink silk case Bu.,
 most beautiful of all, as the workers turned back the white tissue covering,
 was wee silk American flag, and the
 mothers card, to which was added tas
 name of the soldier father and his regi-
 ment. Is it not a beautiful thought the American man fighting for his baby
 and the French orphan wearing his
 baby ss clothes?
 Many pa reels contained baby gar- ments which had lain in lavender or camphor fos many. many years. They
 were worn by sons now fighting in our foreign service. One of these mothers
 wrote: They were yellow with age, but have done my best with bluing I like to think Df their being worn by some baby for whom my boy is now fight ing"

Several years ago we received a small sample package of sugar beet seed, writes a subscriber in the Wom- ans Home Companion. "We had a little extra space in our garden. so we planted 1t. About harvest time visited sugar beet factory and what I saw gave me the following idea. which proved so sue cessful in saving sugar that we have always raised few sugar heets. Wash and scrub every particle of dirt from the beets, cut in small pieces and fill dispan or very large kettle. Cover with cold water, and boil until beets are very soft. Strain into another pan and cook sirup down until the desired consistency is obtained, being careful to skim all impurities from the sirup as 1t boils. Add few drops of mapleine to give color and flavor of maple sugar Cool and bottle. This last fall we made sev- eral gallons of sirup at practically no cost"
