Red Cross Dunnage Bags.
“We are awfully sorry, ma’am," said
the older of the two, “but we ean’l
come back tomorrow. You see tomor
row we have to—” And, without fin
ishing the sentence, she looked back
wistfully at the pile of bags.
“It is too bad you can’t come back,"
said the superintendent, “but I wani
to thank you, and we all thank you
for the work you’ve done today. You
two have been a wonderful help, and
that pile of bags wouldn’t be nearly sc
big if you hadn’t been here. Good
uiglit."
Your Red Crow dollars—every cent
of every Red Cross dollar—actually
.relieves suffering—actually goes as
you give it, for war relief. Not one
cent of any contribution goes into
Red Cross administration expenses—
the overhead of War Fund adminis
tration is more than covered by tha
interest accruing from the banking of
the funds. All relief work not per
taining to the war is amply covered
by the normal revenues of the Red
Cross through membership dues.
Your answer to humanity’s cry—
your donation to war' relief—includes
not only the care and restoration of
the wounded. It is a mission of mercy
to the famished, the homeless and

bllpd—all the victims of war that ap
peal to the heart of mankind.
The relief of Invalided soldiers, re

pendent families of soldiers—relief to
prisoners In Germany—relief among
repatriated people returning to France
—children’s refuges and hospitals—
these are among the divisions of or
ganized work that tarries practical aid
to Its every object In a wide field of
activity. Its scope embraces Russia,
Roumania, Serbia, Ittfly and Armenia
—besides the great held'of .France.
Your donation makes this great mis
sion of mercy your own.
The Red Cross carries 100 cents’
worth of aid for every dollar donated.
A month ago the Red Cross chapter
in Bay City, Mich., received a hurry
up call for 150 dunnage bags. Troops
were about to move, and through an
oversight their equipment -was not
complete. The bags had to be made
and sent within 48 hourS. A'request
for help was sent over the town, and
the stores were searched successfully
for the right materials. Among those
who quickly responded and came to
the chapter workrooms to help were
two little girls; -sisters^ about ten and
twelve years of age, eacfTeager to lend
a hand and do something for the boys*
who were going to the front*, All day
long the fingers of the women and
the little girls were fairly flying. Bag
after bag received the last stitch un
til scores were piled up ready for
shipment. Closing time came, and the
woman superintending the making of
the bags counted those completed and
announced that If every one of the
workers could come early the next
morning and work all day the bags
would surely be finished in time for
shipping by evening. Two crestfallen
little girls, the little sisters, were watt
ing for her at the door as she de
parted.

A cough that “hangs on’’ wears
down the sufferer, leaving him un
able to ward off sickness. Jos. Gil

Terin., writes: “I was suffering with
a dry hacking cough and a pain in mj
chest, but since taking Filey’s Honey
and Tar Compound I have been re
lieved.” It soothes, heals and cures.
