Surgical Dressings.
Many have been under the i'm
preston that a special course was
necessary for the making of surgical
dressings, growing out of the fact
that about twelve ladies took the
tire course, qualifying them as in
structors. This means that one OF
those twelve ladies can always be
found in these rooms on the after
moons of Tuesday, Wednesday, and
Thursday at o'clock p. M. and
probably one kind of bandage or
dressing will be made several weeks
in succession, in order that one ship
ment of several hundred of one kind
may be made. So, when you learn that
particular one, you work on it every
tine you come up until that box is
complete. A number of inquiries have
been made since this information has
been made clear.
Wednesday Mrs. Harold Beall SUI
pervised this department., and she was
assisted by the following: Mesdames
| L. l.. Griner. Jesse Grantham, ]. L.
Dorminey, Lon Dickey. J. A. Work,
G. S. Flournoy, Mrs. Chovin and Miss
Lillian Howell.
Thursday afternoon Mrs. G.. S.
Flournoy supervised, and the follow
| ing registered: Mrs. Fred Powers,
Mrs. Rosina Howe, and Misses Hes
ter Brewer and Allie Mayes.
Remember, all the equipment you
need to do this work is clean hands,

sired) and a white head-dress with

but is customary Drop in these
rooms at the stated hour on one of
the days mentioned and you will be
greatly pleased with the simplicity of
the work.
