COLLECTION OF NUT SHELLS
 AND FRUIT PITS

A ation-wide campaign is being made for the collection of certain fruit stones, fruit pits and nut shells to be used for making carbon to manufacture gas masks for our sol diers overseas. The following are the kinds needed: Peach stones or seeds, apricot, prune, plum, olive and cherry pits, Brazil, walnut, hickory and butter-nut shells and date seeds. These stones and shells may be mixed and no matter how old, if sound. No other kinds are wanted except those mentioned above. 200 peach stones will produce carbon sufficient to pro- tect one soldier from German gas, and seven pounds of nut shells will do the same. You are urged to bring all you can this week to the Red Cross work room at Scott's hall.
 This is an emergency matter. It is a question of saving the lives and health of our men overseas from German poison gas and every patrio- tic citizen in the whole county should be glad to collect all they possibly can.
 H. V. Scott, Chairman.
