curate Information about these camps
and with the aid of the' Swiss Red
Cross keeps our soldiers and sailors
supplied with nourishing food, new
clothing, soap and other necessaries.
At the beginning of June there were
about 800 men in uniform ln German
prison camps. The American troops
have captured considerably more than
i.OOO Germans, so the score is more
than even In that respect.
In Berne. Switzerland, the Ameri

from which is sent to each American
prisoner In Germuny 20 pounds of
food every week. .. .Our government
pays for this food and equirnent and

could be reached more easily but or
ganization work, among the children
has gone so far thuf the chapters are
still closely In touch with them and
benefiting vastly by their help. .
At present many chapters are asking
the Junior members to help get out
some rush orders for knitted articles,
comfort bnp,s . and hospital supplies.
Tbey are doing this In preference to
their regular Junior work.
Any Junior Red Cross member who
has lost contact with the Red Cross
organization since school closed should
go to the local chapter headquarters
and offer bis or her services.

In Central division IHInolsV Wichl

there nre about 2,000,000 members of
the Junior Red Cross. . Manifestly this

of 15,000 auxiliaries to tho -568 Red
Cross chanters. . Virtually every school
Is an auxiliary.
Red Cross Pig Clubs.
1 The Red Cross Pig elub of Carroll
county. Mo., was organized last fall
with practically the entire population
of the county constituting the mem
bership. O. F. Turner, the agricultural
county agent, asked 2,000 persons to
raise one pig each, to be known as tha
lied Cross pig. Although, the county
bus only .1,000 registered voters, 3.000
persons answered the call. A few days
ago the department of agriculture an
nounced that 3,000 porkers represent
the output of the club.
Handkerchiefs. '
If the handkerchiefs are yellow, the
reason Is that they have not been prop
erly washed. To overcome this yellow
color put the handkerchiefs In cold
water, in which there Is kerosene,
about one teaspuonful to a quart, and
a shaving of gyod laundry soap. Let
the handkerchiefs boll In this about
three hours. Take them out, dry in
the sun, and they will be snowy white.
Tills treatment will apply to uuy linen
