Fl. j. Hadfeld Delights KibIing
LoUeEs With Costun1ed Readings

To anyone who has any fondness
whatever for the writings of Rudyard
kiplfng, the costumed interpreta-
ton given Monday evening in the
armory at the A. G. by Henry j.
Hadield. who was formerly on the
stage with Granville Barker and
other celebrities, wasF a thorough
delight. The realistic atmos-
phere that enhanced the inter
pretations made II seem at times as
though the real characters with
which Ktpling has made us
acquainted were there in person, and
the arrangement of the program, il
Illustrating various phases of the
poets life with the better known Of
his poems, was a most happy one.
Mr.. Hadfield's dramatic ability was
at all times apparent, and his reson-
ant, thrilling tones lent a charm to
the Kipling readings that was a
treat rarely enjoyed. He carries with
him his own stage setting an open
canopy effect Of black curtain,
against which the special costumes
in which he appears, stand out
vivid1y.
KipIing was born on Dee. 80, 1866.
in Bombay, India, Mr.. Hadfield told
his audience in introduction. and
when II years old accompanied his
father to England. His appetite for
journalism was early evident, and he
was always good, story teller,
blessed with a flow of tongue. Kip
ling returned to India when 16, to
do newspaper work, and not only
studied necessarily the characters
which he began then to present in
poetry, but also made study of the
weak spots in the Anglo-Indian gov
eminent, which he also presented
later most cleverly in his literary
work An especially good illustra-
ton Of his exposure of government
in India, is his Paget, M.
p, which Mr.. Hadfield gave in the
white costume such as is usually
worn by a government official in
India
Mr.. Hadfield pointed out that while
Kipling hit hard when he hit, he fire.
applied balm to the bruises
he inflicted. Speaking OF the accusa-
tions Of some critics that Kipling is
coarse. he defended his writings as
being merely true to life, and never
coarse. His poems
are their own Justification, said the

this morning. The guests were re-

Mrs. Fred Brophy and Miss Belle

was given at this affair. IL opened

Russian Red Cross.
An unusually interesting feature
was the talk of Mrs. H. M. Rudd.
Fargo, on Russia and the Red Cross
in That Country. Being a native OF
Odessa, and we'll informed on MANY
conditions in Russia, Mrs. Rudd's
talk was particularly enjoyed.
There are three relief orFauiza
tions in Russia, said Mrs. Rudd. be-
ing the Sanitary Relief organization
of the army, the Red Cross. and the
Union of Semstvos and Towns. The
SemstVos are district corresponding
to our states. Since the outbreak Of
the war the Union, Mrs. Rudd ex-
planned, has taken over a number OF
factories and started making sur
gical instruments and drugs They
cannot accomplish much, however
having so little to work with.

majority Of them are poor. Russia

substitutes also are bothersome to

Speaking Of various types Of dress
ings, Mrs. Kiefer said: 1T stands to
reason that small sponges. such as
have been made in large quantities,
are too small for the big wounds
which predominant. The Red Cross
is beginning to correct this mistake,
substituting larger sponges for Il
large proportion of the small ones. A
small percentage Of the latter can
still be used, for eye injuries and
other small wounds.
Knitted articles are badly needed,
she said. Wristlets are much appre-
ciated because Of so many frozen
wrists; socks are splendid gifts if the
heels and toes are not too large, be-
ing bunglesome under shoes If they
are too big: and. according to the
speaker. nothing could be more sem
sible and warm than the knitted
helmets, which she deems far better
than trench caps. She also called
attention to the need Of more abdo-
minal bands or sleeveless sweaters,
as the men have to lean against the
cold, damp walls Of the trenches for
hours at a time, and there are many

1PGahNEs
Mr.. HadfieId especially eulogized
kipling for what he had done for the
British soldier Familiarity known as
Tommy Atkins. His first reading was
in the scarlet coat and small black
cap of a British infantryman.
Tommy, Snarleyow, Fuzzy WuZZy,
and Gunga Din were the enthusl-.
astically received selections given in
this costume.
In the departmental ditties which
he presented, he included also those
known as Study Of an Elevation in
Indian Ink and Army Headquarters,
(Angio- Indian).
+ McAndrews' Hymn, which he gave
in the working costume OF a Scotch
ships engineer; The Ballad of Fish
er's Boarding House, given in the
costume OF a pirate OF the Spanish
Main; and The Dove of Dacca, in the
costume of the Rajah of Dacca; were
other special numbers.
Given in ordinary dress, but with
splendid dramatic effect were these
poems: An Answer, this being an
especially clever reply to some OF
KIpHng's critics; The Lovers Litany;
The Neolithic Age; the Recessional,
familiar to all his AUDIENCE; and The
Conundrum Of the workshops.
Mr.. Hadfield closed his program
with the old favorite. The Ballad OF
East and West, which he gave in the
garb of an East-Indian Robber Chief.
It was given with particularly good
effect.
The speaker referred to Kipling as
the greatest of interviewers. saying
he had been truly called the Shakes
peare of general correspondence, and
paid high tribute to the use the poet
has made of his surprisingly general
of men in all walks of
life.
Mr.. Hadfield, whose entertainment
was the fourth number on the Citi-
zens' Lecture course, went from here
to Sioux City. Ia.

A talk not only replete with splen-
did first-hand information as to
surgical dressings most needed in the
war zone in Europe, but including
personal "reminiscences Of service
there, for over two hours held the
closest interest Of a large audience
Monday evening, when Mrs. U. Nc
Laws Kiefer addressed the local
surgical dressings workers at the
Fargo branch headquarters in the
Elks building. Mrs. Kiefer, who is a
sister of Mrs. A. w. Fowler, Fargo,
only recently returned to this coun-
! try from Juilly, France where she
had been serving since last March
as a. Red Cross nurse. The eXper-
| fences related, coming from a per-
sonal friend of several in the aud
| fence. gained additional weight and
| served to greatly increase the en-
thusiasm Of the audience for surgical
dressings work.
Mrs. Kiefer and her husband, who
| is a physician and surgeon, have
been through some terrible exper-
| fences in the war zone and during
much OF their service there were
close to the first line trenches. Deep
| ly impressed on Mrs, Kiefer's mind is
one particular instance of brutality
| found among the German soldiers.
The victim of this special instance
of brutality was a French soldier
about so years Of age, who had twice
previously been a patient Of Mrs.
| Kfefer. The latter herself witnessed
this outrage, having accompanied an
ambulance to the clearing station
near the front line trenches, Struck
by a shell, this Frenchman dropped
to the ground, grievously wounded.
One of the Germans just taken pris-
oner but not yet searched and dis.
armed. passed by him and quicker
than a flash struck him yiciously
over the head with a hand grenade.
The Germans last free act was TO
strike an old man already down and
out. The F'renchman did not die, but
his brain Is affected by the blow and
he can never fight again. So incensed
were the witnesses to this brutality
that the German got his just deserts
and that right speedily. Mrs. Kiefer
did not supply details, but that Ger
man is no longer in the land of the
living.
In connection with her reminis-
cences, Mrs. Kiefer told her audience
that the way in which the American
soldiers marched through Paris on
July 4 with PerSnlngt was perfectly
wonderful. Every American mother
whose son has gone 20 the front
should be proud OF the fact, she
said.
Praises Dressings.
Everything that the Red Cross
sends is fine, said Mrs. Kiefer, and
the organization is doing splendid
work that is much appreciated. She
cautioned her hearers not TO get dis
couraged because direct acknOwl-
adgments Of this fine work are often
lacking. such acknowledgment be-
ing often impossible because OF. lack
of time. You can make surgical
dressings from now until we are in
Berlin and there won't be too many
was the way she expressed the need
Of such work ''If you could see the
appreciation Of the nurses and doc
tors when they have a good supply
OF weIl-mnde dressings YOU would
feel repaid, she said further, stating
that Ii Is terrible to have to stop
and substitute something for gauze
when dressing wounds. Nothing Is
SO satisfactory as the gauae and

/ that the latter may make from them
shoulder coverings for convalescents
Just able to sit up in bed in the
French hospitals. The great need
of such articles was brought out
Monday evening by Mrs. Keifer in
her talk at Fargo branch headquar-
ters. The French hospitals are rare
ly heated, and the supplying Of such
wraps is quite a problem in cold
weather. There is no wish to divert
any efforts from other Red Cross
work. but much depends on supply
ing the needs referred to above, just
at this time.
So. Rooms Open To All.
Emphasis is again laid on the an
nouncement, made recently, that the
Red Cross rooms in the Engineer
ing building at the A. c. are now
open most of each week to workers,
not only for the college and its
circles, but to anyone, men and wo-
men, living on the north side Of the
city. The attendance Monday at the
A. G. work rooms was not at all
satisfactory as to numbers, and any
one who can spare the time is urged
to work there. Following is the
schedule at the A. c.: All day Mon
day, with Mrs. o. o. Churchill and
Mrs. Robert Hubert in charge; Tues
day afternoon, with Mrs. Herbert
Metcalf and Mrs. II. L. Bolley in
charge: all day Wednesday, with
Mrs. H. w. McArdle and Mrs. r. H.
SlOcum in charge.
Anyone will also be welcome at
the mems classes Tuesday and Fri
day evenings, and at the women's
class, Thursday evenings each week.

FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies Are Using
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Hair that loses it's color and lustre,
or when it fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeless, is caused by lack OF sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made
up mixture of Sage Tea and Sui
phur to keep her locks dark and beau
tiful, and thousands of women and
men who value that even color, that
beautiful dark shade of hair which
is so attractive, use only this old-time
recipe. s5.3s, ~
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition of
other ingredients by asking at any
drug store for 50-cent bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" which darkens the hair so
naturally, so evenly, that nobody can
possibly tell it has been applied. You
Just dampen sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through your
hair, taking one small strand at a
time. By morning the gray hair dis
appears; but what delights the ladies
with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound, is that, besides beautifully
darkening the hair after few APP
plications, it also brings back the
gloss and lustre and gives it an APP
pearance of abundance.
> Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is delightful toilet requisite
to impart color and a youthful ap-
pearance to the hair. It is not in
tended for the cure, mitigation or
prevention Of disease. 49,.
