RED CROSS SUPPLY Of
WOOL WILL Be LIGHT
Salem Chapter May Be Asked
To Work Making Pads Of
Sphagnum Moss.

The shortage in the supply Of wool
viii be felt by workers of Willamette
chapter American Red Cross, as the quo
ia for this chapter for September has
been received and already given out.
While it is felt that some wool viii be
sent to the Willamette chapter, the
amount will depend entirely on what ap-
pOrtionment is made by headquarters al
Seattle. And what Seattle apportiOas
will depend on what it is given by ma
tiOnal headquarters at Washington.
That there win be a great shortage in
knitting yarns is already assured and
with this matter settled, it is probable
that Red Cross workers will be obliged
to resign themselves to conditions a:
they are and instead of knitting, give
time to some other line of Red Cros:
work.
AS Salem is in the sphagnum mos:
country, this may work against il il
securing a full quota of wool from the
fact that the auxiliaries here may bC
asked to make sphagnum moss hospital
pads and other sections at a distance
from the coast be given a larger quota
Of yarn for knitting.
Hence as the situation now stands
there will be but little knitting yarn tC
be had at Red Cross headquarters, com
pared to the past year, All that the
officers of Willamette chapter can do is
to request Seattle northwest headquar.
tiers for liberal allowance, and this has
already been done by Mrs. Arthur s
Benson, now in charge of the office.
One of the changes that may be in
store for Red Cross workers, this winter
is that of receiving garments ready to
cut out. Within day or so the chapter
viii receive consignment of caps
ready to cut, to be made for the Belgian
children. This policy may be continued
in other lines. The national headquar-
ters at Washington is trying out the
plan of having garments needed cut out
in the larger factories and distributed
among the chapters to be made. Al
least, this will be part of the plan fol
the fall months.

Red Cress Wants

Wanted; At Bid Cross headquarters
in the t. :. National hank building.
$50 gunRv sacks To be used by the Red
Cross in shipping Sphagnum mess.
These sacks are needed at once BY
willamette chapter and the suggestion
Is made that perhaps almost every fam
ily might find an old sack stored away
somewhere on the premises that might
be Of use TO the Red Cross. There is
great work TO be done this winter in
the preparation Of Sphagnum moss sur
gieal pads and the need right at pre-,
sent is the sacks by which the moss
may be shipped TO the various head
quarters. Hence it is aske1 that as
one of the patriotic duties, each house

grain sack and send il to Red Cross

OLD AGE A CRIME!

Some people are young at 60-red
checked, ruddy and vigorous. Others
are old at 40-joints beginning to stiff
fen up bit; step beginning to lag and
lose its springiness; occasional touches
of pain in the back, feel tired without
cause, and possibly a twinge of rheu-
matte pain.
In most cases these are the danger
signals to warn you that the kidneys
are not promptly doing their work of
throwing off the poisons that are al
ways forming in the body To neglect
these natural warnings is crime
against yourself. If you have these
symptoms you can find prompt relief

we went to a rest camp Next went

cattle cars Only once did we ride
in a coach and that wasn't very far.
After staying att South Hampton for
a few days to rest, we sailed across
the English channel to Cherb0urge,
France. For the next ten days each
we stopped at the following places;
Semur, BurbiIly, Corsetles, Les Loans,

at this last place for four days we.

Well this is the day we are to write
to our dear old dads at home and since
the war is over We can tell most any.
thing we wish. Well dad, since we
have been over here we have sure
had a h--l Off time and no Joking.
The hard knocks came gradually and
SO we have stood it. Last winter we
had no fires and had wet feet all win
ter, drilling in snow all day with moth
ing to eat but hot water and hard
tack, and we went to bed to keep
warm. In February we went into the
lines and the first time we stayed IL
days In mud and water up to- our

there. In July we moved up to stop
the huns in their last big drive and
then we gave them a lick at Chateau
Thierry. Since then we have been
giving them hi Now my outfit Is
following them up and taking up their
places along the Rhine river.
! am sending a few clippings from
American papers published over here
and they tell the story in brief Of
what we have done. expect the pa
pers back home have had some thing
to say about 1t too, but they never tell
OF the individual hardships and SUI.
ferings one must go through and what
he has to contend with sleeping in mud
and nothing warm to eat for week
at a time, hiking every dav for a
week, and 20 miles q day with full
packs, then going over the top, and
the narrow escapes and close calls,
your friends shot down by your side
and all the hell of war. 1T is no joke.
But / will tell you all about 1t when
get back to good old Denison. and
home.
We are in a hospital very close to
Paris and expect j will be going
down there In another week as am
nearly well, and am getting back my
strength and am up every day We
get good meals here and have a good
place to sleep. We are in tents hut 1t
Is not very cold as yet and they are
warm enough. We are to have big
turkey dinner here and I know 1t will
