KNITTING NOTES

The latest bulletin issued by the
Northern Division publishes the fol-
lowing urgent request: $4,000 pair
of socks are wanted by September 1.
No other kind of knitting is requested.
Socks only are urgent. Knit socks
hard.
The chapter packing committee has
found many pairs of hard, unwashed
socks in the consignments sent III
from branches. The soldier has no
chance to wash the socks, He must
wear them as we send them so socks
sent in hard and dirty cannot be ship
ped until they are washed and cleaned
with soap and soft water before send
ing them in.
Yarn is not only expensive but diff
ficult to get in quantities as large as
we need. We must use it only for the
things and in the quantity required
by the government. Knit nothing
except the allotment sent to you and
be sure the shipment is sent in time
to be packed.
The following "Do's and Don'ts"
for knitters from the Grand Forks
Herald r all necessary reminders.
Don't set up too tightly. Don't knot
your thread. When you finish off
the toe don't draw it up tightly OF
make a ridge or leave a hard knot.
The toe should be finished as smooth
ly as the rest of the sock. Don't leave
long threads at the toe.
A very enjoyable time is promised
for the next rally which is to be held
at the home of Mrs. C. E. Johnston.
The :date will be announce later. 1t
is urged that all knitters and those
who wish to learn be present. AS a
large number of socks is needed for
the next shipment, this will furnish
a good opportunity of giving a little
extra time to knitting. All who have
socks on hand should bring them to
the rally so that they may be prepared
for shipment.

dance with their needs. Women who
use yarn to knit fancy sweaters for
themselves must be given to UNDER
stand that in doing so they deprive
soldiers of comfort and protection to
which they are entitled. Let every
ball of yarn be put to proper use.
Mere knitting is not enough in itself
to indicate patriotism. The knitting
will have to be done for soldiers and
not for the self-adornment of the
k%nitters.

MRS. FINLEY WRITES

We cannot urge too strongly the
proper control of chapter production.
Chapters must realize that they are a
part of the government and that their
work must be what is required by the
government and indicated to us by
national headquarters. 1t is wasteful
to produce articles which are non-es-
s%ential, and it is in violation of our
trust to refuse to do things which are
required. Our allotments to the
chapters from now on are going to be
more definite, and we ask the chapters
to exercise the greatest care to pro-
duce those articles for which we ask.
Branches and auxiliaries are asked to
pay the strictest attention to the allot-
ments from their chapters and to pro-
duce only the articles mentioned in
their allotments. We shall hold the
chapters strictly accountable for the
production of their counties and the
control of their output.

WASH THE KIDNEYS!

All the blood in the body passes thru
the kidneys every few minutes. This Is
why the kidneys play such an important
role in health or disease. BY some mys-
ferrous process the kidney selects what
ought to come out of the blood and
takes 1t out. If the kidneys are not
good-workmen and become congested-
poisons accumulate and we suffer from
backache, headache, lurnbagO, rheu-
matism or govt. The urine Is often
cloudy, full of sediment; channels often
get sore and sleep is disturbed at night.
