RED CROSS NOT no DISTRIBUTE
COMFORT KITS no MEN
IN THIS COUNTRY

The American Red Cross has de-
cided not to distribute comfort kits
to men for use in this country. but
instead will distribute them after
the men get overseas, is the an
nouncement of Leigh Carroll. man
ager of the Gulf Division, American
Red Cross, to all chapters In Louisi-
ana, Mississippi and Alabama.
Mr.. CAROLS announcement was
made with this self-explanatory
statement from G. E. Scott, general
manager of the Red Cross at Wash
ington:
because Of the rapid movement
Of troops overseas with a limited
amount of space for carrying the
necessary equipment which must go
with them on the transports, at the
request of General Pershing the
General Staff has issued an order
stating definitely what articles may
be taken by the men as personal
baggage and also what articles will
be shipped with them as organization
property.
"All articles not absolutely essen
tial to the comfort and well-being
of the men have been excluded from
this list. The War Department has
ruled that men will not be allowed
to take comfort kits with them.
"As practically all articles con-
tanned in the Red Cross Comfort Kit
can be obtained by the men in the
camps and cantonments in the United
States, the Red Cross has decided not
to distribute comfort kits to men for
use in this country. The Red Cross,
will, however, be able to arrange for
shipment overseas, through the regu-
lar freight channels, of large guam
! tity of comfort kits for distribution
through its Foreign Commissions
We have decided to make such ship
ments because we feel that under
conditions existing over there oul
kits provide additional comfort fo1
the men which is really, appreciated
and that the expenditure of funds FOL
kits to be distributed in this wa,
is fully justifiable."

already on the way, and the

acres less than in 1913, or 24.4

Broken Dishes.

A lady in one of our neighbor-
ing towns has found a sure cure
for broken dishes. If the dish
to be mended can be tied to-
gether with a stout string, then
placed in boiling milk and left
one hour, you never can tell the
dish had been broken and it can
afterwards be put in boiling
water without the pieces coming
apart. This experiment says
the Valley Spirit, has been
tried and proven and many are
the broken dishes which were
thought to be useless which are
now as good as new.
