RED CROSS NOTES
Nursing Drive Gives Attention to Civil
ian Needs as Well as Military.

ion Nssds as Well as Military.
The campaign to enroll Red Cross
nurses for assignment to the Army
and Navy Nurse Corps and for public
health service was progressing salts
factorily throughout the nation as this
issue went to press. The Department
of Nursing expects that the twenty
thousand additional nurses needed by
the Army and Navy before January
will be obtained and without undue in
reference with the hospitals and other
agencies rendering needed nursing SER
vice to our civilian population.
The phase of the campaign to en-
courage women to become student
nurses, and. by caring for the civilian
sick, prepare themselves for military
service in the future. was stimulated
greatly by the establishment of the
Army School of Nursing. This school
with headquarters in Washington, will
accept graduates from high schools and
colleges, between twenty-one and
thirty-five years of age, and in good
physical condition. Applicants who
in addition have completed the course
IN Elementary Hygiene and Home Care
of the Sick conducted by the Red
Cross will be given special considera-
ton.
By helping to care for sick and
wounded soldiers in the various mill.
tary hospitals the student nurses will
gain experience in surgical and medi-
cal nursing, in eye, ear, throat and
nose work and in nervous and mental
diseases. Experience in other phases
of nursing will be provided through
affiliations with civil hospitals. The
Director Of the Department of Nursing
of the American Red Cross is ex-officiO
to be a member Of the Advisory Coun-
Gil of the school.
Upon the establishment of this army
school the campaign to interest VIC
men In taking up nursing was redirect
ed imme diately and special emphasis
placed on the opportunities for direct
military service offered by this insti-
tuition. Steps are to be taken to bring
this opportunity to the attention of all
who have taken the Red Cross courses.

Federal Food Administrator

1t should be kept in mind that the
former regulations regarding substi-
-tutes to be sold with flour still hold,
and that there is still the same neces-
sity that every one use all care not to
waste any of this essential food
product.
The sugar situation is very serious.
Merchants are restricted in their sales
to 2 pounds to town customers and
pounds to country customers. The
people are urged as patriotic measure
to confine themselves to 3 pounds per
month per person, and merchants
should confine their sales within these
limits whenever they have knowledge
Of previous purchases by customers.
Hotels and eating places come under
the same regulations except where
they have secured special permission
from the Food Administrator to pur.
chase in larger amounts, A violation
subjects both the hotel and the mer-
chant to possible penalty.
Noxubee County has shown itself on
every call ready to respond to the calls
to conserve the essential foods. They
will continue to do SO. AS the war
continues, the need for conservation
and increased production will grow,
and you can render the country as
vital assistance in this way as you
could il you were on the battlefield.

community ready. willing, anxious and
! able to control the labor situation, and
to this end these chairInen are asked to
appoint, in the country communities
j two to act with them, and in the towns

Director Barnes also adopted the
same organization as representing the
Federal Employment Service in this

labor agent that did not have a card
bearing the signature of his office-that
is of H. L. j. Barnes. Will Lagrone, C.
&c. Wyatt or H. H. Weir, had any right
or authority to get labor in this county
And what labor the government did
yet, they would first consult the orgai.-
zation in Noxubee before allowing the
labor to leave.
1t was the sense of the meetinl that
The Labor Agent business in Noxubee,
Except as authorized by the govern
nent, must stop. w. E. Stokes and
.. T. George were selected as finance
committee, as it would be nece ssary
tntil the first of August, when the

hight.
A motion was adopted authorizing
The county chairman to at once take
bp the matter with the railroad CON-
mission in Washington of labor agents
oming in here with railroad passes
md taking off onr labor. 1t was
tated that the Mobile & Ohio railroad
ad taken off more than any one
= source.
y The people assembled decided that on
lFriday, July 9Th, at O'Clock p. m.
! that the people of Noxubee County
kwould be asked to come to meet with
khll the Committeeman at the Court
House and at that time definite plan

800 WOMEN NEEDED
BY SALVATION ARMY
Commander EyangeIlne Booth
Says War Relief Work
Must Be Extended.

Commander Evangetine Booth, lead
er Of the Salvation Army in the Unit
ed States, has. been suddenly called
upon to furnish 500 additional war
work womel for France. The request
is contained in a report just received
by her from Col William A. Barker
OF the Salvationist forces, whom she
sent to France over year ago TO es-
tablish hutment and general war relief
work with the American troops
1--WE will do all we can to fill this
demand" said Commander Booth when
discussing the approaching United
War Work Campaign "and the need
itself should Impress the American
public all the more with the absolute
necessity for sustaining and enlarging
the war relief work Of the seven or
ganizations, besides the noble Red
funds. Each is vital cog in vast
machine for human relief, and each is
Indispensable, serving its particular
elements in its own way.
"The Salvation Army was born in
hardship, reared in privation and
trained TO every phase of human mis-
cry and how to cope with it. Perhaps
that accounts in some degree for the
success our work has attained and for
which we are thankful.
''We are of the common people, and
we toll on practical basis. We learn
ed the lesson Of how to do it In the
Boer war, when we stood at the side
of Britain's troops and weathered 1t
out to the end We have been tried
by fire, and the mothers and fathers
of America, as in other countries, trust
the Salvation Army to do the thing
they would like to do for their men if
they but had the chance.
"Wish 1,210 trained workers at the
front, operating from 420 huts and
dugouts, the Salvation Army is doing,
has done and will continue to do its
best for the cause of humanity and
Liberty"

over the country. While he's wonder
ing what on earth he'll do with him
self when he gets there, not knowing a
soul in town and with a limited per
centage of his "thirty per" in his pock-
ct, along comes friendly printed card
from the local branch of his own lodge
announcing n reception that night es-
pecially for soldier members. BY the
same mail the Methodist church sends
an announcement of all its meetings,
addressed TO him, with This Means

He had forgotten about the little
personal Card he made out at the

in camp when it was only one of the
endless details in the round of dentists
and doctors and general confusion.
The w. c. c. S. had not only his num-
ber, but his name and address, his
home town, the name of the school
he'd gone to and II good bit about the
things he was fondest of doing-each
fact written into a little blank on the
card especially for it.
