Catarrh being greatly influenced by constitutional conditions requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Medicine is“taken internally and acts thru the Blood on the Mucous Sur- faces of the Sysiem thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, giving the patient strength by building up the con- stitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in the curative powers of Hall's Catarrh Medicine that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials, Address F.

RED CROSS NOTES Turtle River Donates $25. Mesdnmees BI"lau'kln, Blakely the proceeds from a dance which they gave for the benefit of the Red Cross. The ladies said that they were planning on giving another en- tertainment some time before Christ- mas. They are also going to or- ganize a Red Cross circle at Turtle River. Here’s wishing them good luck in their work. ipment. Seve:%led hggg“asl‘lfl%n about the rooms and jequipment, many not knowing about the local work, so I will try to give some idea of what space and equipment the Red Cross here has for its work. The Red.Cross is now occupying both rooms in the basement of the public library. As you go down the stairs the room to the right is the cutting and sewing room. This is always a busy room. This room is equipped with ‘five sewing machines, one with a motor, four work tables, chairs, telephone, desk and numerous shelves where the bolts of material and the different garments are Kept. As the room is now equipped it will be easy for eight or ten ladies to sew there at a time. Three machines have been in use there all summer, these machines and the motor being loaned by some of the merchants. Since the call for more machines, Mrs. Stanton and Mrs. Ira French have kindly loaned their machines. The room on the left is what is known as the surgical dressing room. This room is the one which for the past six years has been used by the Woman’s Study club. The club members voted to hold their meetings this year at the homes of the different members and let the surgical dressing room have the use of the room. The work which is be- ing done here comes under two heads —gauze dressings, which includes compresses, sponges or wipes, strips used for face masks, etc., and rolls. The bandages include slings, four- tail bandage, T bandage and abdom- inal bandage. There are still other kinds of bandages which will be made later. what they ask to sit down to a big| day enroute to Wilton where shel. will make her home with her parents, for relatives before leaving and Brown of Turtle River came in to headquarters today and donated $26, The different classes in this work|a member of the press committee of are as follows: Monday evening and | the Red Cross, is on duty.

TONIGHT Select Pictures Selznick Constance Talmadge «SCANDAL’ By Cosmo Hamilton Jefferson DeAngelis in “.Beware the Dog” Selznick Comedy Your Pledges Needed. . | The sum of $786.25 was received in pledges for the Red Cross war fund, last June. Of this, all has been paid but $53.25. Will ‘those who have not paid their pledges please do so this month. Checks should be sent to the secretary, Miss} Donna Lycan. More workers are wanted for all kinds of work. Don’t wait to be asked. Volunteer your services. More Sweaters Wanted. Too many mufflers and not enough rsweaters are being furnished by Red Cross workers throughout. the divi- sfon, according to Coler Campbell, director of war relief work for the Northern Division of the Red Cross. “Our soldiers need sweaters more than any other knitted article,” de- clared Mr. Campbell. “Their need i8” growing with the approach of winter. For the next few weeks it would be most appreciated if the women throughout the division would concentrate their work upon sweaters. The other articles are needed but there is not the impera- tive demand for their -production that there is in the case of sweaters for the soldiers.” Members of the Red Cross chapter at Rapid City, S. D., held a Red Cross rally in the new high school build- ing. More than 1,000 persons at- tended. Albert R. Denu spoke on the work of the Red Cross, women of the chapter exhibited samples of their work and an elaborate musical program was given by the high school orchestra and glee club. Denu is a brother of E. H. Denu of Be: midji, is state’s attorney and a noted lawyer of the Black Hills. He vis- ited' Bemidji last summer.

HAY HAY HAY Anyone wishing to buy hay or straw in carload lots, see Reeves & Reeves at the Markham Hotel Build- ing. Phone 20. 4w-126 Remember, Wed., . That drastic prosecution of those responsible for the misuse of the Red 'Cross emblem will be under- taken by the authorities was indi- cated in a bulletin received at the Northern Division headquarters, an- nouncing the appointment of W. M. Cutcheon as secretary general for the Red Cross. Many merchants, some of them in- nocently enough, have made use of the Red Cross emblem for advertis- ing purposes. Their action has help- ed pro-German propagandists to spread false reports that articles made for the Red Cross are not go- ing to the soldiers but are being placed on sale, for the profit of those in charge of 'Red Cross work. Time and again these stories have been proven false, but still the rumors are circulated. With the appointment of a legal advisor the Red Cross will be in a position to prosecute 'those who use the emblem for advertising purposes and to trace to ‘their source the falsehoods that are becoming cur- rent in relation to the organization. Mr. Cutcheon will also act as ad- visor to the Red Cross in all mat- ters arising in the work. He is a member of the law firm of Byrne, Cutcheon and Taylor of New York. He will serve as counsel for the Red Cross without compensation. “Wheatless Day” HERE IS THE BIG NEWS TODAY AT Grand Theatre GAIL KANE In a Comedy Drama Tell Press Committee. This week Mrs. Eduard F.
