COMFORT PILLOWS FOR
WOUNDED SOLDIERS.
Women Of Loyal Legion Making
Feather Pillows For Soldier
ConvalescentS.

Wives. widows and daughters of
Civil War veterans are making
feather pillows for soldier GONZALES
cents These women. many of whom
are between sixty and eighty years
old, are sewing seams and filling the
cases with feathers. The work is
done in the name of the Legion of
LOYAL Women. who have made the
supplying of feather pillows for mill
tary base hospitals at home and
abroad part of their war work. The
American Red Cross Hospital at
Neuilly, France, has been provided by
them with hundreds of these pillows.
Mrs. Mary Logan Tucker. daughter
of the late General John A.Logan, and
President of the Legion of Loyal
Women, stated that last year the
women made up about two thousand
pounds of feathers which had been
donated for the purpose by women all
over the country After hte feathers
were renovated they were made into
hundreds of pillows not only for beds,
but for train pillows and little COM
fort pillows to be used for resting
broken arms and wounded limbs.
Mrs. Tucker says that the Legion
of Loyal Women will now provide pill
lows for the military hospitals wher
ever desired and that this offer has
been accepted by the Surgeon General
of the Army. Within the past week.
157 three-pound feather pillows, made
in conformity with government hos
pital regulations, each provided with
a pair of white muslin slips, have
been delivered for use in the camps.
Mrs. Tucker requests that contri-
buttons of feathers to be used for hos
pital pillows be sent other address,
1886 Euclid street, Washington, d. c.
The women of the Loyal Legion be-
long to the old school" said Mrs.
Tucker. Their service TO the coun-
try whose ideals they have upheld for
more than half a century is to work
for the soldiers with their own loving
capable hands. expert in needlewOrk
which has been woman's own particu-
lar job since the world began"
Mrs Tucker has converted her home
in Washington into feather pillow"
work rooms. Old mahogany and ex-
quisite bits of bric-a-brac have been
moved out to make way for machines.
Here every week in parlor and din
ing room sit the wives and daughters
of men who fought in the sixties, sort
ing feathers and sewing up pillows
for men who are fighting in the pres
ent war

SILVER SUGAR BOXES
USED IN LONDON.
Take Along Their Own Sugar
When Going Out To
Meals.

silver sugar boxes are being sold
in London shops at prices ranging
from two dollars TO twenty dollars.
The cheaper ones will hold hair a
dozen small humps, while the more eX-
pensive ones have compartments LOT

pocket" and "hand-bag" sizes.
The saving Of sugar is one of the
most important forms of food thrift
because of the heat and energy il sup
plies for the men actually lighting at
the front The civilian population is
therefore rationed down TO very
meagre portion of sweet things ana
rich and poor alike have TO produce
their sugar cards before buying their
small allotment. These cards bear
both the owners name and the deal
ers. and to prevent any fooling with
the food law a space is scored out at
each purchase of sugar. Thus 1t often
happens that a woman who can ahord
twenty dollars for silver sugar boX
may be lucky TO have enough sugar TO
ill il.
These sugar boxes are not fads.

most hospitable of hostesses cannot
offer sugar to her guests when The
law restricts her purchases and her
holdings OF that precious commodity
TO the five ounces week allotted her
household by the food controller So

The British pul lie cheerfully ac-
cepts the Inconvenience of the food

made unavoidable.
The following verse is evidence as
10 John Bulls spirit:

Goodbye to the First" of Maryland
