stand, which. TO explain, is the win

II is likely, from what was said at
the meeting Monday. that neighbor-
hood demonstrations, sort of first
aid and what-tO- do ina hurry af-
fairs, will be started shortly. This

good, not only in the foreign neigh

American women folk who nave the
care of small children live. for many
tragedies could be averted If the
right treatment was applied in cases
of poisoning and serious accident.

6uce and the like, told in detail her
plan for the work of the women and

blanks for registration for farm

that any girl or young woman who

Mrs. Million dollars some fresh eggs,
to washing dishes for Farmer Jones
wife so that the latter can do double
duty in her war garden. will do Il
