auxiliary has been added to the list,
the Colfax Rebekah lodge.
A report of the surgical dressings
work and that of other hospital sup
plies would not be complete without
mention of the work done by the in
|stractors Of auxiliaries. Their or
ganization is the great strength OF
the KeoRuk shop, for since January
first, the number OF auxiliaries has
been doubled. The dressings havs
been changed entirely three times.
The work has been pressed to top
speed at one period and slowed down
on account Of lack Of material at
others, yet the instructors have &C
complished these changes with pa
thence. faithfulness and ability that
should be more fully known.
