' JF -V-N ' . 3s V- J big drive was started by the Honor Guard girls of Ashland under the direction of m. Maud Hawley. The purpose of the drive Is to enlist the services of every woman and girl into some kind of work to help win the war. -Every girl from the age of 10 to 14 years Is being asked to sign up to become a member or tne junior auxiliary to the Honor Guards, and those of the age of 14 to IS are going to be asked to Join the Honor Guards. An Ingenious plan has been worked out whereby all can do something. The principal work that will ie assignea to the little girls will ba that of making gun wipers. Thousands and thousands of gun wipers are needed, aad. as one soldier said. "It takes rags to keep a gun At." Then there will no me uonr oi Day" dubs, for those who can give an hour of the day to devote to some kind of active work, and In which they will have the privilege of assigning their own task. Those who cannot arrora to give an hour of day can still give as much of their time as can be spared. Those, who do not care to give any. defi nite time can sign up for at least some to make gun wipers. In addition to this for the girls who can give some of their time away from home, there will be t)e Monday night club and the seml-weekty club which will be held at the Red Cross rooms. Omit work under the leadership of Mrs. Hal McNsir and Mrs. A. D. Graham will be the duties of this branch. Those who have been selected captains an the teams who will participate In the drive are Miss Ruth Tork for the senior high school. Miss Bernlce Myer for the Hawthorne. Miss' Gladys Carnahan for the Junior high, and Mrs. D. D. Norrts for the business women. Miss Josephine Saunders has been selected spokesman. Whatever the results of this tremen dous conflict and of the entrance of the United States Into it. there to one thing certain of aooompllahmeat. and .that la the ootnptete reconstruction of the femi nine contingent of the leisure classee. Some weeks ago I attended a meeting of woman's organisation for relief work. There was a fair attendance In view of the time of year. But what particu larly to prase ed me was the utter belp Ussnies of theee women, thetr lack of organisation. For two long; hot boors they sat together discussing ways and means of accomplishing the work they planned to do. yer reached no definite conclusion regarding the work. and. al though they appointed numerous oorn mlttees each committee bad not -been given any actual Idee of the work be fore It Tha fruit committee, when tentative plans to buy' fruit for soldiers passing through v the city were discussed, was told by one misguided but enthusiastic matron that It could use her motor and drive aown to a . naming tne most expensive fancy fruit stall In town. When volunteers for coffee making were called for only one woman was found who was sure enough of her ability to make the beverage.. And so. through the long afternoon. they strove helpleeely to master theee problems. .

She says that this practice has not been found to be practicable. , "While the war department appreci ates deeply the fine spirit In which the women are offering to write to soldiers at the front" says Mrs. Moore, "the ex periences of France and England have proven that the plan ultimately works more harm than good. General Slebert s recently Issued a statement from France .to ' this affect, showing his marked disapproval of the idea. We receive so many letters asking for the names of soldiers ' that a statement should ' be made through the press stating that we are not Indorsing the plan. We have sent out to all our state committees a plan of organised work which is being done under tha direction of the commission on training camp activities. This commission. I" understand, ha authorised only two agencies to take charge of such questions concerning camp activities as that of godmother lng."

Minneapolis Bank ; Bobbed of $5000 . A Foot Bath for Rest HE general Idea of the foot bath haa 1 . b-an. for years past simply a meth od of breaking up a cold. ew peopie consider It an adjunct to beauty cul ture, but if taken as a' cure for fatigue it knows no rival excepting the bleesed peace bestowed by a few hours sleep. T ho old fashioned foot bath had but km oblect' to promote perspiration end autcken the circulation by calling tha blood to the extremities. The pa tint was always warmly clad and placed in. a warm room. No draft of .r .as Tnermltted to touch the patient Mustard wss added to the bath to make It hotter. The bucket or oaain in wnicn ths feet were placed was covered to Icmb the steam from evaporating. After the bath the patient was placed In bed and covered with all the heavy blankets he could stand, and given hot drlnksj XV proioug; uiv "'--' ... v . .. - - natlent was lucky enough to fall Into n unconscious sleep, so much the bet ter for her if not ane was in misery minute of the time. This was an aia fashioned remedy for any kind eold and. being so heroic. It had ffeet in many cases. Tet there those who only became weakened and debilitated by the proceee. This, how ever, should not discourage the use of the foot batlv- for It is a bleeeed babn when 'used for a -perfect rest There are many women who regu larly and faithfully resort to a foot bath Is a positive luxury. When having had a day's shopping, or fittings or standing for hours packing bandages and things for the soldiers, or working at anything that keeps you on your feet you can restore your vitality and freshen up yotfr face and figure,' as! well, as your mind, by taking half an hour "or an hour's rest seated In a oomi fortable armchair; with your feet in hot water. Tha water should be hot but not so- hot as to scald or blister your skin, and the .bath tub should be broad and deep enough to permit the feet to reet without turning up the toes. Let the water reach the-calves of the legs. To four gallons of water pour a table spoonful of violet ammonia, an ounce of camphor spirits and six ounces of witch haxel. Throw a covering ' over your bath letting It come up over your body. Sit quietly,, without moving, and with per fect relaxation! do not read or knit and do not talk. Allow yourself half an hour of repose, meantime the water will gradually cool, as will your entire body, for you must have freeh air cir culating In the room at all times. At the end of the balf hour, or better, the full hour. If you can allow yourself that time, arise snd dry your feet- rub them with alcohol and powder them with a talcum powder put on freeh. clean stockings and shoes and lie full length on the-bed or sofa for 10 minutes without a pillow. This will circulate the blood all through the body and draw It from the extremities. When you will have dressed for the evening you will feel entirely refreshed from any sort of fatigue and you wtTt thor oughly enjoy your evening as far as your feet are concerned. Some women sip tea or hot water while taking the foot bath. I would not do that as the stomach beoomee heated, and It delays cooling off. If the Ingredients I have mentioned are beyond the means of the tired work ing woman. I would suggest common table malt two eupfula to the foot bath. No doctor can disapprove of this simple remedy for tired women. Some would not take the hour to rest therefore, I give the foot bath as a rest cure. Try It once and It will be a faithful friend to "which you consign your lassitude and worries gratefully the reet of your lire. , . Minneapolis. Dec T I. N. 8.)
