Spencer News-Herald: Rev. DR.
John O. Thrush, pastor of the First
Congregational church here. on Sun
day morning rendered his resignation
to the church. Dr. Thrushs resignation
came as distinct surprise to most ev-
eryOne in the congregation and the loss

err Falls is the seat of the Wisconsin

has been under quarantine at Camp
Dix. due to the influenza epidemic.
The sudden change in climate-cOm-
ing from the hot, dry atmosphere at
Camp Cody to the damp GOODNESS of
the eastern camp-haS made the men
susceptible to colds and the influenza,
which is said to be similar to severe
case Of la grippe.

SAVE PITS; TAKE
'EM TO RED CROSS
Government Needs Them for
Charcoal in Gas
Masks.

Save every peach pit, apricot pit,
prune pit. plum pit, date seed. cherry
pit Brazil nut shell, olive pit and
shells of hickory nuts, walnuts and
butternuts that is available. They
should be placed in box and taken
to the local headquarters of the Ham
ilton County Red Cross chapter, from
where they will he shipped to their
proper destination.
The American Red Cross has been
asked by the war department to collect
fruit pits and nut shells. In the alb
sence of sufficient quantities of cocoa
nut shells, fruit pits and other shells
are being used to make carbon, best
suited for use as a protection from
German poison gas. It is necessary
that all pits and shells he thoroughly
dried. either in ovens or by the sun be-
fore they are shipped. There is no rea
son. however, for the separating of the
different kinds of pits and shells in
any way.
This is n case where quick organize
ton and ingenuity are valuable. The
season for collecting this material is
short and quickly passing. The Red
Cross urges that earnest consideration
be given this call that this very inn
pOrtant service may be rendered in a
manner satisfactory to the government
and to ourselves"
