to sew and make kit bags. Several
ladies have given Of their time the
last few weeks to cut the khaki and
navy materials for the bags. The
Red Cross room will be open from
500 till 400 each afternoon and
some one will be there to give out
or receive these bags. A letter
from the Red Cross headquarters
says these kits are very much need
ed since SO many boys are embark
ing for foreign duty. How would
we feel if some boy did not receive
his kit bag because we did not help?
With war in its critical stages the
importance of the home front back

important than ever There's NOR
ale value on both ends Of the line
in this Red Cross work. BY keeping
busy with Red Cross services here
mother, wives, and sweethearts Of

home spirits. And it is certain that
the overseas results of Red Gross
activities are definitely helping the

They hang in memory limp and close as empty apoos

The fellow who sticks out sharpest IN mind is the

He is the faithful old stalking boss Of both the

WARTS consist OF overgrowth

There are two ways OF treat

One way is aimed at destruc-

these methods is that they are
successful; the disadvantage is
