LOUIS LABRIE. | 80c. a box, 6 for $2.50, trial sise, 25c.! , Ah.llduhnotmfipo‘tpddby!‘nfl& a-tives Limited, Ogdensburg, N.Y, | FIRSTHAND STORY FROM RELIEF DEPOT Mrs. Brigham Writes of Work " Done in France Mrs. Clifford Brigham, one of our workers at the Peter Bent Brigham Depot, who has recently gone to Paris to work with the surgical dressings committee there, has written the fol- lowing letter to the New England seo- tion of that commitee: ° ° “I have been asked to write a few of ‘my impressions in regard to the Paris section of the National Surgical Dressings committee. I came from Amgrica in February with the purpose of working at thejr headquarters. I had ‘a most indefinite idea as to the kind of work expected of me, as I thought that this was only a place where surgical dressings from Ameri- ca were recelved, unpacked, and re- shipped to the hospitals in France. That is, in a way, the foundation of the organization. But from that has grown a very complete working unit, wheré every kihd of surgical dressing’ and appliance is made. When a de- mand comes for articles which we do not recefeve from America, or not in sufficlent quantities, Mrs. Austin can- not refuse to supply them, and so they must be made here, at once, when- ever possible. The work is carried on in_an unusually nice new apartment house, lent for the purpose by Ma- dame Coulon, the treasurer. The cel- lar is used for the cases, which ar- rive from America. On the first floor is the bureau, where Mrs. Austin and the secretary, Mrs. Godwin, have their desks. ‘A large room out of this is used for many different kinds of work. The five packing and shipping rooms are also on this floor, the lin- gerie room, where old linen is sorted and repaired when necessary, and a room with seven sewing machines busily at work. On the floor above are eight large rooms, where every kind of gauze compress, bandage; pad, sponge, wick and Carrel cushion, splint and chausson i{s made, and on this floor . are also the sterilizing rooms. Chaussons are large covers for the feet, made of some thick wool- en material, or velours, and are sent to the front. “The thing that the soldiers suffer from most is surgical shock and, it is absolutely essential that their feet should be kept warm. Their boots are taken off at once and their poor, worn-out .socks, if they have any left, and these warm coverings are put on. The French government has realized Mrs. Austin’s exectitive ability and has asked her to supply the trains regu- larly with pillows for the wounded. These pillows go to the front, where they are of inestimable comfort to the soldiers. Five hundred pillows a week are promised, 350 for the trains, and 250 for the stretchers, and two pil- low cases for each pillow. The pil- lows are made‘at the Bastion, where the government has given the differ- nt relief organizations huts for their work. These huts are bullt in and near the old ramparts of the city. A picturesque little canteen is run here for the converifence of the workers. I wigsh you could see us at our work. There are about 250 women, 50 of them pald workers, mostly refugees, the rest are volunteers. All wear the long white apron worn by the French nurses, buttoned in front from head to foot, and the white veil, with a small red cross in front. “It would be-such a good plan if our workers in' America could wear this uniform. I think it has two ad- vantages. It gives a near, sanitary appearance to the workrooms, and in this way\one loses one’s individuality and becomes more truly a part of an efficlent whole. Here each person provides her own apron and veil, which can be ‘put in small cotton or creton bags and hung on a hook in the dress- ing-rooms with a_ number attached. The numbers are given out when the volunteer registers her name. If I were asked what the difference is be- tween work in America and the work thats | [ here I should say that here one feels every moment an dtmosphere of stern reality, the necessity to work every minute. To come from the streets where the brave, determined faces of the men and women of all the allied nations, whose husbands have been or are at the front, makes one bend every energy to help. I am sure that you will feel with me that whatever we can do to help the cause of the Al. lies we must do.
