The people of Cordova are respond
ing generously to the appeal for
clothing for the stricken population
in occupied Belgium and franco, his
extract from a letter of a well l ,-do
lady of Brussels shows the conili ion
exactly:
"Perhaps you will laugh when you
hear that I wear a cloak made trom
u: > husband's Garde Clvique 1 er
coat, a waist front his football dirt,
and a skirt made of a dyed bed sh- et
Mother lias it suit made of the table
cloth and J. and M have cloaks t: do
of woolen blankets, and S. has a dress
made of burlap. But all this is only
amusing in comparison with the
wretchedness of the population. A ter
all, we remain calm and confident of
victory."
The Red Cross is requested by the
government to assist In collecting ,
rruit pits and nut shells of all kiwis,
from which to make carbon to pro
tect our soldiers against poison gas.
The best carbon is made from cocoa
nut shells, of which at present there
is an acute shortage. In order to
make up the shortage the Red Cross
is asked to collect the following:
Peach, apricot, prune, plum, olive
and date pits; shells of hickory, wal
nuts and butternuts. Peanuts arc not
asked for.
All pits and shells must be thor
oughly dried in the oven. There is no
reason, however, for separating the
different kinds of pits and shells in
any way.
The need of this material by the
government is urgent Now is the
time for the boys and girls of the
Junior lied Cross of Cordova to help
the boys "over there."
Gather all th efruit pits and nut
shells that you can. dry them tltor
oughty in your mother's kitchen stove
and then bring them up to the local
chapter for shipment.
Old Gen. H. C. O. L. Works Overtime
in Belgium
Have you been kicking about the
“ high cost of everything in America’
If you have, just read the report con
piled by the American Red Cross com
'. mission in Belgium as to the prices
: this unfortunate people have to pa
:• for plain necessities in that part of
• the country occupied by the Germans
■: and you will probably conclude you
:• are well off In some instances these
:■ necessities have increased as much as
■I 2,660 per cent.
:• "Cotton thread." says the report,
> "is now sold by the yard. Kggs cost
20 cents each. Nearly everyone wears
wooden shoes with felt tops. Macu
roni, one of the most popular foods
in Belgium, has increased 2,660 per
jS cent since PJ14. Butter Is 674 per
•: cent higher than ii was at the begin
ning of the war. Ollier increases in
the price of commodities by percent
■' ages are: Canned vegetables, 1,556.

sugar, 1,300; peas and beans, 1,200;
salt, 1,090 pork, 1,475; fresh meat,
1,055; bread, 200."
Flour, sugar and rice, even at these
prices, are obtainable only by secret
methods, says the report. In spite
of these extraordinary increases the
lied Cross is going right ahead with
its plan for relieving the distress in ;
Belgium. j
Cordova Will Respond
The following letter has been re- j
ceived by Mrs. C. I’ Mickelson, dated j
September 14:
"Cordova Chapter. A It. C.
“Dear Madam: This in reply to
your letter of September 4, refusing j
allotment No. 32. We are sorry that
you are not able to accept this allot
ment, but under the conditions of
course we understand it is difficult to i
get the women together to work, but \
If you could finish it by November 1
it would be perfectly satisfactory to
us. If under these conditions you
can accopt it, please let us know and
we will ship you the material right I
away Sincerely,

Rally New Recruit* When the Old
Guard Need* Help
(From The Bulletin. Sept Hi
When a big new task comes to your
chapter, make it the occasion for en
listing the co-operation of new work
era.
Demands on the Bed Cross will be
heavier this winter than last, al
though some of the demands may lie
of a radically different nature from j
what we have been accustomed to. |
We must, however, meet them all. ]
Never yet has any chapter in the j
Northwestern division refused a task:
because of lack of workers The time
should never come when such will be
the case. Kvory ritiv.cn is a poten
tial worker in the Bed Cross to the
limit of his power and ability.
When the call is heavier than can
he met with comfort by the old guard
of regular workers, call in some of
the reserves and set them to work
The greatest asset the Bed Cross has
in this country, next to the loyalty
of those who are laboring in its cause,
is the potential working capacity of
those who have not yet been fully set
to work The needs of the winter
may make it necessary to utilize a
Utrgo -portion of this reserve capacity.
We will not be the first chapter in
the Northwestern division to fall
dow n. We will call in the reserve j
force, and our cable to headquarters
today reads: Send material for al
lotments; 32 house dresses for
women; also yarn for new allotment
of 75 sweaters "
