MAKES ONE THINK HE
OUGHT TO GIVE MORE
Miss Maude Nelson Writes to An Ok
Iahoma Paper from the Nations
Capital, the following Pathetic
Story.

The Walter Ried Hospital, where
our returned soldiers are brought, Is
situated not far from the city mere at
Washington. The sad thing about 1t
is that they are SO crowded and are IN
need of much more room. They are
renting homes close around and furn-
ishing them so that they can make
the boys comfortable. Here you see
disabled boys and even men who have
been in the war service over the sea
and have teen fortunate or unfortu-
nate enough to live. say unfortu-
nate when recall one boy, not so very
old, who had both arms and legs of
and blind. He is carried around in a
basket. Can you imagine anything
more terrible! Can we consider our
selves making a sacrifice when We
give up a little sugar, wheat or buy j.
thrift stamp, or liberty bond, or sub
scribe to the Red Cross or knit, COM
pared to this?
Many, many boys are there with an
arm, leg or both of. Eye out or
severely gassed, or Inno. ..iafca with
some disease. Yet these boys meet
YOU with smile and say they wish
they could go back and do more.

SENDS MILLIONS
OF CIGARETS TO
AMERICAN UNITS

One billion, four hundred million
clgarets have been ordered by the
Knights of Columbus for free dis
ribution to the soldiers and sailors
and their allies. Nearly half a bill
lion OF them have already been sent
overseas and millions are being
distributed by X of c. secretaries
TO soldiers each week.
The fighting man no longer has
TO seek a X of c. building to get
his supply of cigarets or other
smokes, because the knights
have put part of the organization
IN France on wheels and fleets of
motor trucks follow the troops
wherever they 60 Men in the
front line trenches or on the move
are constantly kept supplied with
smokes in addition to chewing
gum, chocolate, soap and towels
and other articles by secretaries.
The boys at camps in this coun-
try are also supplied with cigarets
and other articles by the knights,
and 10000 cigarets are sent each
week to the headquarters of the
National Catholic Women's league,
l54 East Thirty-eighth street, New
York City, where soldiers are en-
tertained while visiting in the city.
Nearly 100000 cigars have been
ordered also by the knights, and
factories are busy supplying 4,000,-
600 cOrncob pipes. In addition they
contracted for 100000 pounds of
chewing tobacco. Great quantities
of all these supplies have already
gone forward, while factories are
working overtime to supply the
balance.
Accompanying the feet of motor
trucks with supplies to the front
lines are 25 automobile camp kitch-
ems. From them are served hot
