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.

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

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

When volunteers for coffee making were
called for only one woman was found
who was sure enough of her ability to

"Neither the war department nor the
woman's committee of the council of
national defense- is . furnishing names of
soldiers for godmotherlng," says Mrs.
Philip Moore, chairman of the health
and recreation department of tho
woman's . committee. 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." These are the subcommittees on
protective 'work for girls of the New
Tork Probation and Protective associ
ation. Miss Maud Miner, director, and
the "hoe tees - houses committee, undet

the meeting. She virtually . took the
chair, although always deferring to the
nominal chairman, aad nndecber guid
ance the business In hand was disposed
of In short order. ...
- The spirit shown by this woman was
typical of the- new Idea. It could hintir
be expected that women whose Uvea have
oeen spent in frivolities , could, at the
declaration of war. turn from these pur
suits aad at once become efficient work
ing machines, but that they are making
an effort to become such, and that they
will ultimately be suocsseful is shown by

. A Foot Bath for Rest
HE general Idea of the foot bath haa

consider It an adjunct to beauty cul

it knows no rival excepting the bleesed

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. , .
