SERIES OF REPORTS

The war council, American Red Cross has planned to issue a series of re- ports to American people concerning the use of the first Red Cross war fund of s1OO,O0O,o0 and plans so far are perfected for future work. The first section of these reports issued today covers work of American Red Cross caring for families at home of American men in military service. Re- port on this subject follows:
 More than 900, 900 families of Amer ican men in service have been relieved of money troubles, legal difficulties, household worries and depressing lone- liness by the home service of the American Red Cross. This branch of the Red Cross activity has now 50,0Oa men and women serving on its 10000 local committees. It is spreading doc Urine of intelligent substantial neigh borliness on behalf of fighters fanli- lies, and backing it with an expendi- penditures have been made out of money raised by the communities themselves and reserved from the amount contributed by the National American Red Cross fund, and have been directed by local committees ! themselves.
 MONEY NOT ALL
 l More than 1,o0o0oO people have | been helped. Money, the least yalu- able contribution of Red Cross home
 service to community welfare, amount
 ed to $1,0o0,500 the first six months
 of 1918, and will exceed $4,000,oo0 the second half of tho year. By January l 1, 1919, the American Red Cross will have spent in work total about $6,0e0, | 900 and will probably be carrying a
 burden of 100000 people per month. More important than money are other kinds of help given. Problems l in soldiers and sailors families arise l from sickness worry, backward, unruly children, perplexities in household management business legal tangles ental depression, sometimes mere longing for tke men gone away, and | home service has been successfully helping meet them all. Difficulties I arising out of misunderstanding war risk insurance law bring each week about 60,00c inquiries why soldiers de l pendents are not receiving their money from the war risk bureau to the at ] tention of the home service workers They undertake to get the information needed, and, in many cases, have al lotments or allowances pushee

HOME SERVICE DEPARTMENT

The home service department of the American Red Cross has grown within the last three months from about 200 cases to nearly 800 cases.
 The home service department is charged with the duties and responsi- Utilities of caring for the dependents of soldiers and sailors. The husband, and often the sons, are the business heads of the family. If he is inducted into service, the home organization is changed; in some cases almost to the breaking point.
 Home service. undertakes to relieve cases of suffering, giving financial re- lief; and also does a work of recon struction in families, having surgical or other operations performed, giving the necessary medical attention, pro- vides a budget for the subsistence, plans the schooling of the children and endeavors to look after every ac- tivity connected with home life The purpose of this is two-fold, in that the family is rehabilitated and family cares which the soldiers and sailors carried with them are thus re- lieved, and often when the morale which is necessary in the character of a good soldier and sailor, is thus ere ated an sustained.

 As have been receiving many inquiries from people in White County asking about the camp and about their friends and rel atives who are here, I am taking the liberty of writing to you so that you will be in a position to let others know what really ex- ists ,aere.
 There are about or nearly 3O,- 900 soldiers stationed here at Camp Beauregard of which more than one-third are from Arkan- sas. White county boys are num- erous. The camp is thoroughly clean, being in as good a sanitar- y condition as any camp in the country. At this date all sol- diers are fully equipped with clothing, including overcoats and hob-nailed shoes. Each man has all his equipment, there is no longer shortage of anything at this camp. Beginning in Mo- vember there was a transfer of many troops from other places to this camp and amng the men were many cases of humps and measles, thus the infection start ed at this camp, and we had many cases of both and many cases of pneumonia resulting.
 There were some deaths but the percentage was low compar- ed with statistics of recent date.

 MT. Page.
 The 26 inches of snow that fell in Arkansas in December and January was worth $4O,O00- 900 to Arkansas farmers, John H. Page, commissioner of mines manufactures, and agriculture has said. He said that the bene- fit is derived from putting mois- ture in the ground and improv- ing the physical condition of the soil.
 MT. Page said that this is not a surmise, but a scientifically proved fact, as worked out in the chemical laboratory at the state capitol. During the heavy snow fall some of the clean flakes were caught, he said, and an an- alysis made to determine the content of nitrogen, which is one of the most important clements in the production of plant food.
 
 pr. William F. Manglesdorf, state chemist, reported the re- suit of the analysis to Commiss- toner Page, who computed the weight of the snow per acre and the commercial value of the ni- trogen thus obtained. The dis .tillation process of the chemist demonstrated that in ton of snow there was one-tenth of a pound of nitrogen. Computing

In addition to the sets of molar
teeth at the back of both upper and
lower jaws the sheep has a set of
eight incisors on the lower jaw which
work against tough fbrous pad on
the upper jaw, as in the case of the
cow. The age of a sheep may be esti-
mated by the appearance of these in
cisors up to the time it is four or five
years old.
Eight Milk Teeth.
BY the time the sheep is four weeks
old it has eight temporary inclsors, or
milk teeth. When the sheep is slight
ly over one year old the central pair
of incisors is replaced by permanent
teeth which are broader and wider
than the temporary ones. When the
sheep is two years. old the next pair
is replaced; the third pair when the
sheep is nearly three years old; and
the fourth or corner pair when the
sheep is between four and five years
old, hence a full set of permanent in
cisors will indicate that the sheep is
at least four years old. If the sheep

evaporates freely and penetrates to the
deeper parts of the wound. If the in
tested place has a comparatively small
hole at the skin, but is deep, it is a
common practice to pour chlorofOrm
into 1t and then plug the hole. In most
cases it is desirable to remove the
dead or comatose maggots with pair
of forcepS, clean the wound out with
water containing per cent carbOlic
acid, and apply pine tar to act as re-
pellent for flies. Tannic acid busted
over the wound will check bleeding
and make it less attractive to flies.
When a wound is severe it is best to
call in a competent veterinarian, es-
pecially if the infested animal is a
valuable one. Turpentine, kerosene,
gasoline cobalt solution, and ether
have been used with greater or less
success. The former extensive use of
calomel in wounds is now practically
discontinued.
When 1t is necessary to perform any
surgical operation during the fly sea-
son it is best always to apply some fly
repellent. Tannic acid followed by an
application of pine tar or some of the
cresol dips will be found of value for
this purpose.

prepared by the United States Depart

1t is important that herds be
watched carefully during the screw
worm season so that all cases Of infes-
tation may be detected early. Those
familiar with screw-worm injury have
very little difficulty in telling If
wound is infested. Usually there is
free discharge Of watery blood and a
fresh appearance to the wound. In
handling these cases on ranches it is
best to have a small pasture, usually
called strap" close to headquarters,
where all infested animals are kept I'M
til the wounds are completely healed.
The construction of large cages Of
screen wire or netting such as shade
cloth, used In covering tobacco, has
been found practicable for the pro-
lection of valuable calves born in the
screw-worm season. Moreover, such
cages are useful for protecting injured
stock from infestation or for allowing
wounds already infested to heal fol-
lowing treatment without suffering
further attack.
For destroying the maggots in a
wound nothing better than chlOroform
has been found. One of the principal
