The women were putting on steam yesterday to bring the number of pillows up to the quota, in view of the fact that at Rose 200 soldiers were innoculated with the serum, and in all probability the pillows will be needed within the next few days. The housewives are urged to make a minute search for pillows available and to send them into thfe Y. W. C. A., where they are received before turning them over to the camps.
