TO PUSH BUILDING OF RED CROSS HOUSES Nome Service Work For Army C?n*P* Stressed In Conference At OivU ?Ion Headquarters A r? rr Important conference touch e work of the American Red rose In the army camps of the South ern Division was held in Atlanta a few ays ago There were present not ? y ^ Lk Peel, Division Manag . C. B. Bidwell, Associate Manager, and Z. Bennett Phelps. Division Dlreo r ?f the bureau of Military Relief, to gather with a number of the Red Cross **ld Directors and Assistant Field rectors from the camps, but also, W. Frank Persons, Director Gen eral of Civilian Relief; Henry 8. inoinpson, National Director of the Bureau of Camp Service, and Charles * if ox, Assistant Director of Camu Service in charge of construction. A number of important matters were discussed, among them being the vL'n!?nnel ln tile tralniDg camps, the Duilding ^ manning of the Red Cross houses for convalescents in the camps, and the appointment of directors for tnese houses, instructions regarding hospital information service, and the relation of the Home Service depart ttient to the department of Military Relief and the importance of Home Service to the men in the tra'nins camps and In the trenches, which latter was taflcen up with the field di rectors by Mr. Persons. The volume of Home Service work to be done necessitates the appoint ment of an associate field director in charge of homo service who will work with the regular field director in the camp. There will also be a Home Ser vice director on every transport that oarries American troops to France, so Chat every soldier who leaves family or business worries behind may have someone to whom to turn for help and advice. The problem of keeping up the morale of the army by making them understand that their families are well looked after while they are away as well a? that of helping to maintain a normal standard of living in the families where the men are away belongs to the Home Service or Civilian Relief Department. At the time of the Napoleonic eanvpaigne,'' said Mr. Persons, "It was estimated that the morale of the army ra?i more important than ammunition In the ratio of 3 to 1. In the present war, one of the greatest English gen erals has estimated the ratio as 9 to I. Home Service is more important jo the United States troops than to .nose of England and France, because die French and English soldiers have two weeks' leave every 90 days, can return to their homes and look after their most pressing business affairs for themselves. But the American toldier who goes to France will prob ably stay In France until the end of the war, and It is only through the Home Service Department of the Red Sross that his mind can be relieved from all worry concerning affairs at iome so that his entire attention can fce concentrated on soldiering." Many illustrations of the value of Home Service In the training cainpe of this country were giv-en by the Field Directors, and th* duties of the t?en ill charge of this branch of the irork outlined. Henry 8. Thompson, national dire? lor of the Bureau of Camp Servloe, ?poke on the duties of the military field directors in the camps and their relation to the Home Service Directors tti the >am* camps. The building of the Red Cros# houses in 40 army camps in this coun try was then taiken up by Charles B. assistant director of Camp Ser vice in charge of construction, and the purpose of these houses was explain ed to the Field Directors and assists ants who were present. Quarters and a place of amusement will be provided In these houses for convalescent sol dier* who are well enough to leave the hospitals and yet not well enough to return to active duty, as well as ac commodations for the families of men who are ill enough to make it neces sary to send for their relatives. It is being planned that a large part of the furniture for these houses shall be made by the older boys in the Aunior Re?* Cross auxiliaries. The construction in the camps of the Southern Division will be su pervised by John R. Dillon of Atlanta, of the firm of Morgan A Dillon, archi tects, who has volunteered his ser vices to the Southern division for any sort of architectural work. Men trained in work similar to that of the Home Service department are wanted at once for work in the camps and on the transports. All applications in this division should be made to Joseph C. Logan, Director of Civilian Helief. Field Directors and Assistant Field Directors present at the conferehce were T. T. Flagler, S. A. Darrach, Dr. Joslah Morse, Lanning Harvey, W. R. Carr, William C. Denny, H. M. Voor hees, J. Loaring Clark, H. A. Field, William S. Moore, J. C. Williams, and Mrs. Charles A. Sheldon, Sr. JUNIOR RED CROSS TAKES OVER ARMY OF RELIEF Harvey D. Gibson, General Manager of the American Red Cross, announced this week that the Junior Rod Cross organization has indorsed and taken over the Children of America Army of Relief, and that henceforward the work of this latter organization will be carried on by the Junior Red Cross. The transfer of funds took place on March 2nd, $40,000 being given over to the Junior Red Cross to be devoted to child welfare work abroad, and the Army of Relief will cease to solicit funds.

That we extend to the be reaved family and friends our heart felt sympathy in their bereavement, and shall pray that it may draw each one nearer to the Heavenly Father whom he loved so well and served so faithfully. (3.) That while we grieve the loss, we realize that it is his eternal gain; and we are proud to have had such a noble brother who so honorably wore his distinguished badge until he came to the end of his toilsome journey.

Any farmer having trouble with "Root Lice in Cotton" can send me a sample of the soil where the trouble exists, one cup full taken 6 inches deep, and I will make a soil test and write a prescription that will destroy the "Root Lice."

Public Has Been Stung Too Often and Is Now Cautious People Demand an Overwhelming Abundance of Proof and Often Nothing Hut Knowledge Gained Through Personal Experience Will Convince Them of a Truth, Then Their Faith is Strong. People are skeptical, and rightfully so, in these days of trickery and fraud. That was the attitude of Char lie Langoes, a resident of Durham, 217 Main Street, who tells here he was recently convinced in a matter that meant much to him: "The testimonials of people whom 1 know in Druham convinced me of the merit of Peplac and put me on the right track. When I read the state ments of people that I know could b< lelied upon I gave Peplac a trial, and I am glad that I did. "I have suffered for a long timr with indigestion, gas in the stomach and pains around the heart. I would | pet up tired out after a sleepless night; had no appetite and no energy. One bottle of this wonderful medi cine changed this and the relief it brought me s surprising. All of my suffering is gone and in return for this I feel that it is my christain duty to let others know what Peplac has done for me." Peplac has helped thousands of men and women in this state and will help everyone v/ho is suffering from stom ach trouble or derangement of the liver and kidneys. The merits of this great construc tive tonic will be gladly explained at Hood Brothers where it is recommend ed and sold. ? Adv.
