County Housewives Are
Urged To Save Futs

One Tablespoonful of waste household
fats saved every day by each of Holmes
county's $685. families during the Sec
ond year of the WHIP fat salvage cam
paign would provide enough glycerin
to make 6 4,S80 anti aircraft shells, it
was estimated today by the largest
single collector of this vi~tally-needed
war material.
although only a fraction of this
amount has been saved daily by the
average family" said T. A. Connors,
head of the Great Atlantic & Pacific
Tea C~ompany's national meat depart
ment. "the steady increase in contri-
buttons is very encouraging. During
May and June housewives turned in at
our company stores as much waste fat
as they did during the drives four open
ing months, and our total collections for
the year were more than 1000, 900
pounds"
Indications are that nationwide re-
suits of the campaigns initial year, end
ing the first week in July, totaled more
than 65,00O,000 pounds of household
fats, based on owl reports for the first
eleven months. This is one-third of the
annual quota for the nation Of 200, 900 900
pounds.
Mississippi is asked by the govern
ment to salvage $500 pounds of fats
each month.

$4,000 Nurses Needed
For Battle Fronts

Thtirty-six thousand more nurses
ust be on the battlefronts Of
the world before the end Of 1913. As
America pushes forward for the great
offensive, a call for this tremendous
number of trained nurses is being voiced
by the American Red Cross.
In the great cities of this country
and into the back woods areas the call
is being sent. The wounded must not
die-36,000 nurses are NEEDED annually
for ward duty, 10000 for the Army and
5000 for the Navy. The number re-
quired each month is 5000 nurses, yet
at no time this year has the quota been
met.
Appointed by the Surgeon-General of
the U. s. Army as official nurse re-
cruiting agency, the Red Cross is now
asking the support Of many agencies
presenting the appeal to the members
of the nursing profession whose pres
ence in the ampitheatre Of conflict is
essential to the winning of the war.
Enrolment is not obligatory, but no
woman who has beer trained to ad-
minister to humanity can fail to see
that the greatest need is in the war
area.
There she cares for burns, shell-frag-
ment wounds, fractures, bullet and
bayonet injuries. She is there ready
to administer the life giving blood
plasma to the fallen soldier. She helps
while the surgeon performs his miracle
on shattered bodies. In hours of alert,
when the wounded pour in from the
battle front, she works fast and tire
lessly, unmindful Of self.

Who Can Operate
Sewing Machines

200 or more women are needed to open

A survey is being made of available
