'J - THE MORNING STAR. WILMINGTON, N. 0., SUNDAY NOVEMBER 17f 1918 TWELVE. -1 s 1 1 National Special Aid Society Weekly. Report of Patriotic Work and Contributions By Wilmington Women. Last week we begged for more work ers and the workers came. It seemed like old times. Old friends whose faces had not been seen - for weeks and months appeared once more and took their places around the tables. have had from 25 to 35 every afternoon, not counting the morning attendance, always small. Although this is by no means as good as it was when the spring drive was on, we have to re member that it is natural and normal. A erreat many people can work under strain, a great many people can do wonders under excitement, a great many can start, but the real test is holding out. It's that way with our country. The hardest part of the war lies before, us Peace is in sight; al ready people are beginning to say, "Well, you won't need to make any more dressings now We won t need , -rnro fnnrf restrictions." "We can let up on benevolences and charities'in Europe and look after ourselves." These points of views are held by thoughtless people. If we stop a mo ment to think we will realize that there are countless wounded in Europe who need dressings and will continue to need them for months to come. There is the whole central Europe, there is gigantic Russia, there are the coun tries of our 'allies, we have got to stand the 'brunt of feeding them all. There are , tens of thousands of refu gees who are not going to be able to find any work 4.o do in Belgium and France, ana if we do not clothe them they will freeze. It's the charity that holds out "that stands the real test. If we have no higher motive than this we ought to work the harder out of gratitude for all we have been spar ed. Sometimes .we wonder if America can learn the lesson of real service ex cept under the lash of much severer chastisement than she has yet had. Busy Wednesday. Last Wednesday we had an emergen cy day. About dinner time we were telephoned for to come to the help of the Porto Ricans on the City of Savan nah, and we went down and found a lot of sick people. We were asked by Lieutenant Black for 100 quarts of soup, a dozen tin buckets and fifty cups. He said he could use 200 mus tard plasters at once, as the men had bad colds. We had a big crowd of teorkers and all the facilities necessary to make everything, so we started the plasters and had them ready within an hour and a half. We had a case and a half of coup that had been donated to relief work by Thomas F. Wood, and we made soup then and there. We bought the cups and the galvanized buckets and got all to the ship by 6 o'clock. The next morning we sent soup down for the noon meal. We should have liked to do more for them, but their movements were so uncer tain that we could not plan definitely what to do, and as it happened, the steamer left port before she got all the soup that we were making for her and we. sent it to sufferers at home. Our New Stove We have the nices stove. It is one we bought for the nursery, and it was got up on the third floor by the com bined efforts of Mrs. Roache, Mrs. Fuz zey, Mrs. MacMillan, Mr. Woolvin and the Murray transfer, which did the ac " tual work, and Mrs. Murray, who paid all the costs. SuFely the people who attended to the job will be well pleased to know that we who have shivered at our work for so long will shiver no more. It takes very little to keep a fire in the stove and a very short time to heat: the room. No one need. be afraid of eold. Just come and see how comfortable you are. The Talent Bazaar. Please everybody send your gfft in for the bazaar. It will be held tHelast day of November and the second and third of December. We have lovely things and we want you to come and bnuy what you need at our sale. There will be everything you can think of at the bazaar. We have had offers for a great many of the things we have for Bale. Bags J nd Christmas , Cards. We have the paper shopping bags that people are. so . crazy over and we have Christmas cards. The cards sell for 10 cents" a piece, tliree for 25c, twelve for $1.00. - . Cotton. We have cotton and . can make, if we have the workers, boxes of inconti nent pads.' We cannot spare the ladies at the -gauze table to let them make Incontinent 'pads, but we wish Mrs. McGowan and the ladies who helped her during the epidemic would come along back and make those pads. They were made as well as there is any need . Tor them to be made, and they were made faster than we have ever had them made before. Belgian Baby Clothes. The ladies who sewed so hard during the epidemic are respectfully requested to come and get baby clothes and take them home and make them. Mrs. Bun ty will be glad to let them go out to Individuals who will return them with in two weeks. We give out wool on Wednesday and receive finished articles on .. that 'day Sunset. Just as we were feeling that Sun set would never show another stir of life in the workroom, Mrs. O. A. Mat- I thews brought in a check for $7.50, which is the amount of the prize won by the Sunset Canning club at the corn show last year. They had not used the money and they thought it would be a Food plan to contribute it. to the Special Aid. The money will be credited on DAYS OF DIZZINESS Come to Hundreds of Wilmington People. . There are days of dizziness; Spells of headache, languor, back ache; Sometimes rheumatic painB; Often urinary disorders. v Doan's JCidney Pills are especially for kidney Ills. Endorsed in Wilmington by grateful friends and neighbors. Mrs. J. D. McFadyen, 118 Walnut St, Wilmington, says: "Some time ago I had some trouble with my back and kidneys. My back ached most of the time and got so weak I could hardly go. When I tried to bend over sharp, :knife-Hke pains shot through me and "blinding, dizzy spells came before my eyes and I could hardly see. Mornings I was lame and sore and so weak I 1 could hardly go. My head ached, too and my kidneys didn't' act properly. Finally I began .taking Doan's Kidney Pills and in a short time I was entirely cured. I have had none of this trou ble since." Price. 60c, at. all dealers. Don't simply-' ask- -for a -kidney remedy get ' Doan's ' Kidney Pillsi the same that Mrs. 'McFadyen had., Foster-Milburn - Co ' Mf grs.. Buffalo. N. -Y Co -Mfgrs, Buffalo, N. Yfc - , , - next week's financial report as the hooks close at 6 o'clock Wednesday and this donation did not come until Thursday. The Sunset ladies will 'be very welcome when they find they can come back and work with us again. We need them. East Wilmington. Miss Margaret Cole brought in $4.00 from East Wilmington, which is the largest collection she has ever had. It covered two weeks, but even then it surpassed all previous records. Winter Park. We missed Winter Park and hope they will not forget next week. The schools sent, in a nice collection and Delgado and the colored Catholic school, St, Thomas, were represented as will be seen in the financial report. Brooklyn. Brooklyn was not so well represent ed this week as formerly. We know f just a hint is all that Brooklyn needs to get her back oh the 30b. We cannot spare her. We count too much on the Brooklyn people to. let them think we can get along withou them. We wish they would come and take up the in continent pad work. They could do it wonderfully well. The Allies' Card Club. The faithful old club came in with five dollars this week, and Mrs. Long ley gave five dollars for herself. We were very glad to have these extra donations, because the week's collec tion was a little less than $140, and our expenses continue just the same. Our New Plans. We have not the slightest intention of letting our work flag a minute. We propose to have on every block in town for at least two years to come a lady who will act toward that block as toward her own family. The welfare of the block is her sacred trust. She will visit the block weekly, she will keep our headquarters informed of sickness that we can relieve, she will try to get and keep the confidence of the people in the block and in time of trouble she ought to be the persoa to whom any one in the block can go and ask for relief from the society which they help to support. The block messenger is to know thoroughly the persons on her block and is to recom mend anyone who is to be aided by the Special Aid. No aid can be given ex cept through the messenger or the dis trict leader. The only requirement of the Special Aid is that the person aided is a ' contributor to the penny. The block messenger must be willing in case of any emergency to attend to the people in her block. If we should be so unfortunate as to have another epi demic we shall expect the messengers go without further instructions to every house on the block and make a report of those who are sick and hand it in at once either to the office at Woolvin hall or to the district leader. Ifny messenger feels she is not able or willing to live up t othe high duties, we advise her to let us put some one in her place who will do it. The city is fuller today of women who are asking for the privilege of acting as the angel of mercy to their block than ever be fore. A messenger has the entree into homes where no one else could go. There Is no one in town who has so wide an opportunity to be usefuL The messenger can be a friend to the Wilmington Red Cross Society jr 'j . .... , . f Record of Surgical Supplies Made and Donations to the ' National Cause. Though the glorious day of peace has dawned, it is nevertheless incumbent upon every loyal Red Cross worker to stick to her post and do the things now that must be done. There is plenty of work to do even though the war is over, perhaps more than, ever for the hungry must be fed, the naked clothed and endless reconstruction work be be gun. The greatest need now will be for the garments for the devastated countries, especially garments for the women and children. This fact was very much emphasized at the board of directors meeting held on Wednesday. The director of woman's, work appealed to all connected with the Red Ciyjss to help with the chapter's allotment which has not been nearly completed and which must be shipped within the next two weeks. This is a hurry call and the members are urged to respond. This chapter has never failed to send in its allotment and should never allow it to fall short now. It is true that the many and faithful workers are taking part in the united war work campaign an din this, as in other work, have ac-; complished splendid results, but after thi.sdr.ive it is expected that' they re turn to their post of duty and see this allotment through. November for united war work; De cember fpr the Red Cross Christmas roll call. The Good Samaritan. This past week the Red Cross play ed the Good Samaritan to the Porto Ricans who were here without proper clothing for this climate. The relief committee visited the boat and left 8 dozen fleece lined suits of underwear and 8 dozen socks which were most acceptable. , Blankets and sheet and other necessities which are held for emergencies were also in readiness but were not needed. Christmas Box Information. In response to many inquiries receiv ed by the Red Cross as to whether Christmas parcels may be sent to Amer icans serving with the Red Cross, the Y M. C. A., the Knights of Columbus and other similar organizations oper ating in connection with the military forces of the United States and the al lies and to individuals serving in the armies of the allies, the war trade board has worked out a plan by -which it is possible to make shipments to the above classes of individuals. . ' This plan is similar to that under which parcels may be sent to soldiers overseas, but instead of presenting the label from overseas, application for a carton must be made in writing, de claring that the applicant is the nearest, livingrelative in the United States of the recipient, and that he ' has not made and will not - make any other Christmas shipment this year to the same person. This aplication should be approved by someone appointed for the purpose b ythe Red Cross chapter and returned to the applicant with a Christ mas carton which must be filled and presented for inspection in the same manner as, the soldiers' parcels. The sender should address vthe parcel plain ly and also put tiis own name and ad dress as sender on the outside. ,: In the case of parcels for soldiers sufficient postage - must bo afflxedto I stranger, she" dan Invite" thetrt "to meet J workroom, she can bring" neighbors "to gether socially, she can advise, and en courage and give financial help. To be a messenger is ita, be oneffthe . most important persons in the whole town. We shall continue to have, themT and as long" as we do, they will ask you for your patriotic penny. pnny Collections Nov. 13,". 1918. District A (N) Miss O. Williams, $1.69; Miss E.

RUSSIAN PEASANTS SUFFERED FROM THEIR, BOLSIISVJHI With the American Forces in North ern Russia, Sept. 18. (Correspondence of The Associated Press). Russian peasants in this district are glad to be freed from Bolshevik rule. "he Bolsheviks promised us that we would have land and peace and plenty,' one' sturdy" old man said tq The Associated Press correspondent "but we soon learned what was their real theory. It was just this Tonight I go over and steal your cow and tomorrow night you come hack and cut my throat and steal it back The peasants here are now settling down to what they hope will be order and tranquility after a long reign of tfoisnevik terror. All along the roads here one finds, in tne evenings. peasants walkiner back to their houses with little bags 01 rooa, given them by the allies. Now, and then, they are given a can of jam. a luxury even for the rich in Russia now. In one village, which the allies had not yet had time to reach with their food supplies, the jcorrespondent found one peasant family eating swan, which they described as exceedingly tough. "It was a sacred bird ;with us be fore," one of the peasants apologized, "but we have no meat and the Bolshe viks killed the fish in our lakes with bombs from their airplanes." The peasants are working willing ly under the kind treatment of Brit ish and American Russian-speaking Soldiers. They were very glad to build an aviation field, cutting , down many acres of thick timber, because they were told the field would be theirs for cultivation after the campaign.
