Morning Exercises.

Calisthenics taken in the early morn ing do much to keep up the general health. Standing. warmly hut loosely clad, at an open window and inhaling deep breaths of fresh air will stimulate the blood qU' U'ckly. This might be fol- lowed with two or three easy exercises. One might consist of doubling the fists, placing them at the shoulders, and then thrusting them out at arms length swiftly. After that 1t would be well to bend, trying to touch the floor with the finger tips without bending the knees. These calisthenics might be concluded with a final one of kneeling and bending forward the floor from the waist. The whole performance need not take more than five minutes, and will do more to make circulation lively and muscles in good condition than any amount of medicine.

Lightning at Sea.

When proper precautions are taken ships at sea are in no danger of being destroyed by lightning. Of all the dan gers that beset the seaman, lightning is the only one that he can guard against with perfect thoroughness. Permanent conductors, properly ar ranged, offer the most complete pro tection frorsp the electric fluid.
 Before this fact was well under stood, lightning was a very frequent cause of damage to shipping. In 1908 to 1915 no fewer than seventy vessels of the English navy were entirely crip- pied by being struck. It was a no un- common thing for vessels to be set on fire so completely by lightning as to defy extinction, with the result that those on board who were not killed by the electric discharge in many in- stances probably lost their lives through being unable to let down the boats before the fire reached them.

EASY TO WRITE WITH TOES
Assertion Made That Accomplish ment" Can Be Acquired In com-
 paratIvely Short Time.

When next you go to the zoo, watch the monkeys use their hands, suggests the Popular Science Monthly. Notice how they seize things with their fists. They do not use their finger-ends as we do. While the higher monkeys, such as gorillas and chimpanzees, may be taught to use their fingers, they never learn to use them as easily as do human beings.
 The monkey Is primarily a tree dweller. It lives in forests and swings from tree to tree, using its hands as hooks with which 1t grasps the branches. The thumb is not brought into play. Some South American mon- keys have lost the thumb through dis use; all that Is left of it is indicated by little lump under the skin.
 In the higher monkeys the wrist is built like yours. It has the same num- Der of bones. But the monkey has never used his wrist, and so 1t has lost the fiexibility. The monkey can use his fist to better advantage than his hands.
 Man, on the other hand, has used his feet so long simply for the purpose of walking, that he would experience con- siderable difficulty in using them as he uses his hands. Yet, 1t is amazing how quickly man can learn to use his toes as he does his fingers. If you don't believe this, just try to write with your toes. At first the letters will be very large and awkward. But with a very little practice you will find that you can write with your foot more easily than with your left hand, if you are naturally right-handed. It is an attractive exercise with which to while away an hour. We know you will try the experiment.

RED CROSS BUILDING FORTY
 NURSES HOUSES AT CAMPS.

The American Red Cross is planning forty Nurses Recreation Houses, to be built, at the request and with the approval of the Surgeon General, at the cantonments and base hospitals In connection with nurses barracks. All of these buildings will be in use within the next two months, judging by the speed with which Red Cross work has been completed in the past. Already in many places these club houses, with their white walls and red roofs, are go- ing up under the eyes of the nurses themselves.
 The general purpose is to provide every comfort for the nurses serving in the cantonment and base hospitals. The main room, 30 by 75 feet. will have a great open fireplace along ono side. Although the room ordinarily will be used as n living room, it will also be adapted for m assembly ball and can be used for dances and recep- tions.
 Overlooking this room is n small bal- cony, from which motion pictures can be thrown on the wall opposite. Open ing off this same room will lie libra- ry, a sewing-rOom. equipped with ma chimes and all convenierreH. u small laundry and a fully equipped kitchen. The furnishings thu ,ughout lave been planned to the last detail.
 A piano and victrula. folding chairs for assembly purposes. the gOId-brown walls and dainty lounges. even the lighting fixtures. with their design sug- geSting the Red Cross, have been se- lected and combined to express sense of home and to supply t..e needs and add to-thc comfort of rnrtonmrni life.

PERSHING RULES AGAINST
 SPECIAL SHIPMENTS ABROAD

No specially designated shipments will be accepted by the Red Cross. This ruling is absolute and is in ac- cordance with the order issued by General Pershing.
 This ruling, which has just been is sued by the Foreign Relief Depart ment of the Red Cross, will serve to aliay the confusion that has seemed to exist in the minds of some war work CTS that big consignments of articles might be sent to specially designated points. This, however, is not the case, and everything must go through the regular channels and be redistributed where the need is greatest. This ap- plies both at home and abroad.

Paris Aerte Summons
 NRed Cross Ambulances
Twenty-Five Men Rush to Scene When Buildings Are Struck by Bombs.

The sounding of the alerte or air raid alarm in Paris summons twenty nve American Red Cross ambulance men to report instantly to the ambu- lance garage. These men are provided with gas masks, put on steel helmets and warm up" ten to fifteen ambu- lances. If the Roche plane succeeds in planting bomb on 6 building the Paris Police Department flashes word to the garage at the same time that the Fire Department in the district is called. As many ambulances as are needed start on a rush through the ab- solutely black streets to the scene of the disaster. Once there, the Red Cross doctors and crews care for the wounded and join with the pompiers, or fremen, in rescuing any persons caught'in the wreck.
 Rescuina Raid Victims.
 A typical alarm reached the garage one morning at one o'clock. A bomb had struck a five story building and crumbled the top floors into a mass of wreckage, supported only by the slen- der iron pillars of the ground floor. The ambulance and firemen made their way into the wreck from the rear base ment and heard a man calling for help from the front of the building. By the aid of flash lights two firemen and two ambulance men, treading like cats lest they might bring down a mass of beams, finally got within fifteen feet of the imprisoned tenant The res cuers crowded through narrow rent in wall into a small room, where a single thin iron pillar held up hun dreds of tons of debris. A hole was cut into the wall, only to find an iron stove in the way This stove was smashed with hatchets and drawn, piece by piece, through the hole In the wall. One of the men crawled through and got the victim, who was hurt, but fortunately not seriously. While they were moving him there came a sudden slipping.-a crash overhead. Fortu- nately the little iron pillar held, and the party was able to back out into the alley, carrying the injured man. He was placed in Red Cross ambu- lance and rushed to a hospital
 When the rescue group took another look at the front of the building they found that the slip had piled thirty feet of solid wreckage in the room where the stove had been.

RED CROSS TO RECLAIM
 SOLDIERS OLD UNIFORMS

The United States Government, in order to conserve the Nations supply of wool, has asked the cooperation of the Red Cross and, through it, of the women of leisure in helping to reclaim and rejuvenate the uniforms discard ed by the soldiers leaving the camps to embark for France.
 When the men in the camps get their summer wear they return their winter apparel to the Quartermaster's Depart ment. Next fall, when new winter out fits are distributed, the men will turn over the uniforms they now are wear ing. Nothing is thrown away, and, as a result, the camps throughout the country have a large store of old uni forms and other wear which must be repaired for use for rough work either at cantonments or across the water.
 The renovation of old uniforms re- gently was started by the Reclamation Department at Camp Upton, but the work Is not going on with sufficient rapidity.
 So it was put up to the Red Cross, which decided, at the request of the Government, to carry on this work, utilizing the services of volunteer workers in New York. If 1t proves successful here 1t will be inaugurated all over the country.
 Through the Atlantic Division the New York County Chapter of the Red Cross has taken hold of 1t, naming one of its auxiliaries as the first Recla- nation Station. Uniforms will be secured at the camps before being for warded to the station.

As for seeing any of the boys who are over here with the National Army we don't have chance to see anyone outside of our division. Well, George anytime they get ready to stop this war will suit me. But, we haven't any kick coming. Conditions are getting better for us every day. We are getting feed, clothed and cared for in very good shape. The Red Cross is doing wonderful work as is the Y. M. c. A. and the Salvation Army. You ask about the French girls. We'll, guess they don't like the noise up around here. At least they don't come up to visit us very often. And you know I always was kind of bashful with the fair sex, and I can't talk their talk at all. As I said before was delighted to hear from you and hope you will write again sometime. am wondering what has happened to Scotty and Frank Blass? I haven't heard from either of them for quite while.

 WINTERS NEEDS

Wool Used spsrin1ly; Substitutes En- pIoyed Wherever PossibIe--calI
 for Volunteer Service h |.
 Workrcoma.

Foreseeing the great needs of the coming winter, the Atlantic Division of the American Red Cross has in- structed all chapters within it's juris- diction to speed up production. Calls for greatly increased volunteering upon the part os women. in conse- quence, have gone out.
 Next winter our soldiers and sailors will need more socks, sweaters, wrist lets, mufflers, helmets and so on, than ever before, and the Red Cross does not intend to be caught short-handed. Chapters in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut have been allotted the task of making S00,000 pairs of socks and 1s5,0o0 sweaters to be avail able early in autumn. Work on sur gical dressings, hospital and refugee garments must not lag as a result of this allotment
 Women will be asked to come mora and more to the workrooms. Those who have been able to give little or none of their day to the Red Cross will be urged to consider seriously the sacrifice of other interests.
 Military Needs Come First.
 In the meantime, the Red Cross is only using wool for articles the mak- ing of which absolutely require 1t. Substitutes are being employed else where, for the shortage of wool has become such a serious matter that the ' Red Cross Is undertaking, among It's other activities, the reclamation of dis carded garments and the refurbishing and repair of the winte. uniforms of soldiers so that not an inch of this valuable product shall go to waste.
 While the War Industries Board has ruled that in the distribution of wool the military needs of the nation must first be met, 1t has further ordered that the Red Cross shall have second place on the preference" list.
 In order that there may be no vast age through unco-ordInated buying, the Department of Supplies at national headquarters of the Red Cross In Washington will, in future, hold itself responsible for the distribution of wool to Chapters. It will requlsltion such wool as may be necessary and this wool will be released to the Red Cross by the War Industries Board us fast as it Is obtalnable in excess of the necessary requirements of the Guar termaster's Department.
 The custom of independent buying has, In a few instances, resulted in the Red Cross Chapters bidding against each other. This will now be done away with. Chapters will be informed by headquarters how much work they must turn out and the material to work on supplied them as fast as possible.
 To preclude the keeping of yarn at home by individuals all wool that is issued must be accounted for. 1t must either be made up into finished gar- ment, or that portion of 1t not so used returned. This movo will take all yarn in the Army and Navy colors from the public market so that none can be pur- chased and made up by individuals into gifts
 This, in turn, will end the overlap ping of effort, and no soldier or sailor will receive from home garments which are duplicates of those being given him by the Red Cross.
