Herald Book Store SMITHFIELD, North Carolina THANKS RECEIVED t FROM THE FRONT / WILD EXCITEMENT OVER RECEIPT OF SURGICAL ' DRESSINGS Director Of Woman's Work For Cross Receives Letter From Paris The importance of the work that Is being done by the women all over the Southern Division of the Red Cross in the way of knitting, of surgi cal dressings and of hospital garments has been stressed many times, but it has never been shown more clearly than in the following note of thanks which was received a few days ago by Mrs. John W. Grant, Director of the Department of Woman's Work of the Southern Division, from Mrs. Ger trude Austin, Chief of the Red Cross Surgical Dressings Service in Paria: 25 Hue Pierre-Charron, Paris, February 2, 1?18. To The Chairman. Dear Madam: Your case of surgical dressings No. 85 has just been opened, and we want to thank you most heartily for your help. We are wildly excited here over the arrival of the first Front Parcels and the first Standard Dressings. They are not yet in our stores, but we know that they are in France. You can't realize what this means to us, for we have waited for them so long and so anxiously. Go ahead and send us plenty more. Cordially yours, GERTRUDE AUSTIN, Chief of Service. That the Southern Division is doing Its part in shipping these articles to Europe is shown in the reports of the division warehouse in Atlanta which give a detailed statement of all work done during the week. Not infrequent ly as many as 300,000 articles are ship ped for export in a single week, in ad dition to all of the work of inspecting, cutting out and packing, which Is done at the warehouse, and to the boxes which are shipped to the cai* ; tonnients in this country. RED CROSS WAR FUND DRIVE SET FOR MAY 20 . In order not to detract even slightly from the forthcoming Liberty Loan campaign the War CounciJ of the American Red Cross has postponed the campaign to raise the second War Relief fund of $100,000,000 to the week of May 20 from the week of May 6th, as was originally intended, it was an nounced in Washington today. This action fixes the date of the s*c ond Red Cross campaign eleven mouths after the first, which was started on June 18, 1917. The War Council had been appointed by President Wilson only five weeks prior to the beginning of this campaign, so that its first great task was to provide means for carry ing on relief work during the war on a scale commensurate with the milt tary operations. More than $100,000,000 was contril> uted in response to the first call for financial aid and contributions plus interest brought the total receipt* from the first drive up to $105,099,627. Of this amount, $17,006,121 was re funded to Red Cross Chapters for lo cal relief work. Of the balance, $7T, 721,918 has been appropriated, leaving a balance of $10,371,217 available for appropriation. France has received appropriations amounting to more than thirty millions. During the week pre ceding Christmas the Red Cross con ducted a membership drive which re sulted in the enrollment of approxi mately 22,000,000 new members. This wan followed last month by a cam paign conducted by the Junior mem bership of the Red Cross which result ed in the enrollment in the collateral organization of practically all of th? school children in America. RED CROSS MADE OFFICIAL WAR FILM DISTRIBUTOR The American Red Cross has b?en designated by the government as the official and exclusive distributor of the United States official war pictures? both motion pictures and stereopticon slides ? and likewise the sole distribu tor in this country of all official French war pictures hereafter releas ed except those pictures which are distributed through the news week- , lies. In the Southern Division, comprising Georgia, Florida, the two Carolinas and Tennessee, the Bureau of Publi- 1 city will handle these pictures and all requests for same, whether by chap ters or by motion picture theater? must be made to the publicity director. ' There are already on hand at the rational headquarters in Washington five motion picture films, two multiple reel and three single reel pictures, and two sets of stereopticon slides which may be had in either black and white or in colors. The Southern division has just placed an order for these films and slides, and as soon as they arrive in Atlanta they will be offered to Chapters throughout the division at a small rental. These pictures show various scenes and activities in France and elsewhere hi Europe, and should be most inter esting to the people of the United 8tates. Some of them picture war ac tivities and others the work of the Red Cross in Europe. TTie United States official pictures are taken by the Signal forps, Photo, graphic division, of th? United States Army. T?ie French official pictures are taken by the Cinematographic and Photographic Division of the Fr?no6 Army. Not K*>ad> for Implement*. The farmers are advised from Va rious quarters to buy farm imm inent* including farm tractors in or der to save labor There are too things in the way of these purchases. Farm implements are nearly twice as high as they were before the war. This will deter manj from making purchases. Besides many farmers are not ready for the implements. Not enough two horse teams, too many rock and to many stumps in many fields, not enough shelter room to house them and not enough money to pay cash for them. Until farmers get ready for implements they had bet ter leave them off and especially the more expensive implements. The plan followed by so many of buying expensive implements and leaving them out in the weather does not pay. However good they may be at the start they soon become worthless when left out unsheltered and un protected. ? J. M. B. INSPECTOR MAKES TEST OF M ANTON E.

Men and women in this section who are interested in the health giv ing work of Mantone, the great non alcoholic nerve, blood and brain tonic recently offered here, will do well to get in touch with D. N. Perkins, well known resident of Selma ,and Inspec tor for the Southern Railway. The report of his test of Mantone follows: "Why shouldn't I be glnd to give my honest opinion of Mantone's work! It has not only put an end to my suf ferings from indigestion and stom ach trouble, but has increased my weight by fifteen pounds and ha? me feeling like a new man. "Before taking Mantone my bowels moved so frequently that what I ate passed through my system without giving the required amount of nour ishment. As this condition continued I naturally lost a desire for eating. This Mantone, however, worked on me like a charm and in short time had me in tip top shape. Besides gaining in weight my appetite is immense and I feel good all over. "No one better than myself knows what I went through or how grate ful I am for the health gains and joys Mantone has brought me. I con scientiously recommended Mantone to people who suffer as I did for I am sure that Mantone will help them the same as it helped me. And, should they not be benefitted fc^ey have wast ed no money for Mantone is sold with the understanding that unless it helps a person that person's money is paid back.
