DOINGS OF CLUBS
PERSONALS


Cross this last week is an added evil
idence of the efficacy of proper news
paper publicity which should be not
ed. The collection was called for at
a most inopportune time for this Sec
ton. Workers were just returning
! from their vacations and the forces
of the chapter were all disorganized
and in a chaotic condition. Mrs.
Campbell, as publicity director Of the
chapter, and always a champion of
the newspaper, made the appeal
through the local press, which gener-
ously accorded to it prominent space
with conspicuous headlines The re-
suit was that garments were brought
in plenty to more than make up the
county quota of two tons. Devoted
women put aside every other duty and
helped with the inspection and sort
ing until all had been packed ready
for shipment A. H. Griswold, chair
man of production, with volunteer
committee, did the packing and bill
/ ing with the utmost dispatch and just
one week after the first published
appeal the whole matter was COM
pleted and the chapter is now ready
for it's next service, whatever that
may be.
; Under present shipping conditions,
the Red Cross cannot handle newspa-
pers and old magazines. People are
requested not to leave such material
at headquarters until further notice.
Here is copy of characteristic
card from John Brookfield, who ar
rived in France fortnight ago:

tween 1910 and 1880. Dear Rachel:

The Woman's Liberty Loan COM
mittee is very much interested in
plans for the great Liberty demon
stration on the 18TH The only diff
ficulty is that our people are SO busy
doing things just now they haven't
time to talk about ways and means
very much. 1t would be simply great
if the entire quota could be sold be-
fore that date even, and why not =?
We are all going to buy, and buy to
the limit. Why not do it now and
make quick work of this job, clear
ing the deck for the next war serv-
ice. t
"The typhoid germ must be swal-
lowed" is trite saying often heard
in localities where the dread disease
is more or less prevalent. In other
words, it is taken into the system to
do its deadly work with food or drink
Sometimes it's sources is in an infect
ed water supply, sometimes an un-
sanitary dairy may be responsible and
again some human carrier infects the
food in handling it. Mothers should
see to it that the hands of their chill
dren are washed clean before permit
ting them to eat anything. 1t is
the patriotic duty of everybody to as
sist in stamping out the dread disease
by every possible means before it be-
comes an epidemic in our city. DR..
Peterson has announced his purpose
to use drastic means if necessary to
compel compliance with the health
ordinances of the city and county. 1t
is no time for excuses or counting OF
money cost. Measure rather by the
value of human life, and cheerfully
and promptly do your duty.
