Tl.is instance, typical of oth-r.v

I. U. Snyder, county chairman of the

day, June 8. as "ingathering day."
when every family in the county is
expected to cleanse their closet of
old, but serviceable clothes, and for
ward them to receivin station t) be
announced later.
"What can be used?" asks Mrs.
Snyder. Then she proceeded to Rive
a list, as follows, of the things that
will be gratefully accepted: Coats,
dresses, suits (all sizes), sweaters,
mittens, wool stockings, boots and
and shoes (tie In pairs), woolen
uloves, woolen shirts, shop-worn
goods, new garments and cloths, and
sheets to make bandages. "But do
not," she continued, "send silks, chif
fons, veils, slippers, laces, muslin un
derwear, straw or frame hats, silk
stockings, evening clothes, or any
kind of ready-to-wear not worth pay
ing the freight on to Europe."
"The Great Need" is the title of a
little phamlet being distributed by
Mrs. Snyder, and its appeal Is pa
thetic, heart-rending. "From the
Near East." it reads, "comes an ap
peal for clothing. Five years of des
titution have reduced hundreds of
thousands of people there to a most
pitiable condition.
"Many thousands of Armenians,
driven from their homes during the
war. are still in exile. There has been
no way to secure clothing to replace
what they wore when they were
driven forth.
"All industry Is paralyzed. The
people, though willing, cannot earn
a livelihood. Vast throngs wander
from place to place, clad only In bits
of iuks and strips of burlap bags.
"The appeal Is extraordinary.
Numberless men. women and little
children In the Near East are all but
destitute of clothing and thousands
have no covering whatsoever save the
thinnest rags.
Last year America sent seven
hundied and fifty tons of clothing.
The supply la exhausted and the
clothing worn out. We are again
confronted by a new and a great need

Bremner enlisted in a few dais

run back to time's most successful
robbers, demand blood money and

and was attached to the Twenty
First Canadian Battalion. In Sep

after the commencement of hostili
ties. Dr. Bremner's regiment was
over in France, but it was not until
the early part of 1915 that he went
Into the trenches.
Ypres was his first engagement,
and it was there that the Germans
introduced gas warfare, and it's a
horrible picture that the young Ca
nadian paints of the suffering of
himself and his brave comrades as
they met the German onslaught with
out gas masks. Men lay on all sides
writhing with pain from the effects
of the cruel chemical, nauseated, and
many deathly sick. But dipping their
handkerchiefs in uiud, they applied
them to their noses, and were able
to frustrate, after much loss, the
attark.
Klmmel Hill, the Somne, St. Elols
and Festoburt rvere some of the
other engagements in which he par
ticipated until in December, 1917.
when he was discharged with a dis
ability rating of fifty per cent.
Dr. Bremner was gassed at the
battle of Somme. He regained con
sciousness in a hospital, where be
laid for weeks, at times lingering on
the brink of death. Before he re
covered, however, the call for men
became so urgent that he was sent
back into the Hues with a tempera
ture vf 103.
Kis shell-shocked condition came
upon htm by degrees. His nerves first
began to give away In a mammoth
German cement dug-out when a shell
fell into the opening, blowing an of
ficer to atoms, nothing but his leg
being found, and severing the top of
his best chum's head off, killing him
Instantly. The three were at a lis
tening post, keeping brigade head
quarters in touch with the front lines
through the medium of a telephone.
Dr. Bremner was at the Instrument
when a call came to the effect that
the Germans had ceased firing. Turn
ing over the telephone to his chum,
he went down into the dug-out to cut
some wood with which to keep a fire
burning during the night, and he
was engaged in this task when the
shell fell through the opening, ex
ploding its shrapnel over his two
comrades.
It was a few days later, as he
was going "over the top," that all
other shell fell at his feet, so close
that his life was spared, but his
nerves were so badly shocked that he
sank Into unconsciousness. He was
a full-fledged shell shocked soldier
now. Incapacitated for further duty.
He was sent back, a hopeless case.
"After all other methods had fail
ed," said Dr. Bremner, "I tried chiro
practic, and so noticeable was my im
provement that I decided to go to
Davenport, Iowa, and not only take
the treatments but study the profes
sion. That was three years ago, and
now I believe I am fully recovered."
Following his graduation. Dr.
Bremner relieved a chiropracter at
Raleigh for three months, then he
went to Charlotte.' After an Investi
gation of Monroe, and finding that
the field was crowded In Charlotte,
be decided to locate here. He Is a
member of the local post of the
American Legion.

that Nero was at least seventy miles
