IE NURSES ARE NEEDED
THE TIMEg
Jre Three
Another urgent appeal for registration of more nurses ws Issued yesterday by Miss Mary M. Uoberts. director of nursing, lake Division. American Red Cross. The appeal was made In response to Surgeon General Gorsas' recent request that the Red Cross supply 5.000 nurses before June 1 for service In American military hospitals In the United States and abroad. "More than 7,000 nurses have been enrolled alnoe the Vntted States became participant In the war." said Miss Roberts today, "but as the war progresses, the Imperative need for a greater army of nurses grows dally. "An earnest appeal Is mads to the registered nurses of Ohio. Indiana and Kentucky to velunter for this service. "We also appeal to the public and to the physicians employing: these nurses to make It possible for them, without too great a sacrifice, to hold themselves In readiness to respond to the call of their country. "TVe also wish to bring: to the attention of the nurses the unusual opportunities offered by th '"War Risk Insurance I -aw. The provisions of this bill apply enqually to nurses assigned to duty as members of the Army and Navy N'urs Corps and make It ros'.b'e to secure, at nominal rates, protection for herself as well as for designated members of her family dependent upon her. "A great responsibility rests upon the nurses of the country. They are the only group of women recosrnlzed a a part of the military estnh! ishment. "While thousands of nurses will be needed, the number Is relatively small compared with the number of women In America who should stand back of them and make possible the serv'ce for which they are so greatly needed. "No finer patriotic service can be rendered by the well educated youn-r women anywhere, than that of the students In schools for nurses who are definitely preparing- for the larger professional field of the graduate nurse."

The zone system, which applies to the distribution of bituminous coal, went Into effect today. It serves to eliminate long hauls by providing that coal produced in a certain district must be consumed in that zone. Officials are confident that the zone system will solve the transportation problem. In part at least, which has been the biggest factor In producing coal shortages. Eastern coal will be distributed in eastern districts where it is produced and western coal in western districts. The system does not prohibit the shipment of special grades of coal which may be needed for specific purposes. Gas companies, foundries, glass con-

March 23. 131S. Dear Friend Cross. I know I should have come across with a fewtl'.ncs long: before this but when a l"'!oiv frets into a nv game he is apt to forget his old friends for a wiiila in the new surroundings of another world. But I am back to earth again and It is a real pleasure for me to dash a line or tio to you. It has been more than three months since I ra"e1 my right hand and took the initial sp In what promises to be th greatest act in my life. Since that time I have seen a giat deal of the. I". S. A. I remember an ad that says "See A!rica First Via the Great Northern." but I say "Join the Army and Se America." Of course I stuck with the b'ineh from Hammond as farts? Ind -e.napolis but things happened 51 fast there that before I even got a chan -e t o s't y roo,j bye to them I was on a trnin bound for Columbus Barracks, f'hio.

We were next

In order that we nr.Kht not g"t mixed up our number was painted on our chest and back (you see we were violating t!u traffio rule) and from that time on until nearly midnight I was No. 22?,. When we were through I had signed my name t v e n t y -fi v n or thirty times and had mv finder prints taken. If they rui?seii any paper that I didn't sicrn it was because they were not printed. At last w were taken to a barracks -nd pl'.pri two blankets and a canvas cot. That was my first night as a ciest of T'nc'e Sam. Believe me It was hard to take especially as the thermometer was tearinEr off about 10 or 12 below zej-o.

N
Chas. G. Mehlin finds Nujol the best and safest remedy for inactive bowels, and gladly endorses it as follows: NUJOL LABORATORIES, STANDARD OIL CO. (New Jersey), BAYONNE, N. J. Dear Sirs: I am well pleased, and have been greatly benefited by the use of "Nujol". I could net well get along without it; considering my age (76), it is the very thing I need. Alluwe, Okla., Yours sincerely, Dec 26, 1 9 16. Chas. G. Mehlin. MR. MEHLIN frankly says that he could scarcely get along without Nujol! That's because Nujol restores regular bowel-habits, without griping or physicing, or any reaction, whatsoever, and is therefore the safest, most natural remedy obtainable. Positively safe for everybody, old and young. Nujol never loses its power to relieve. It naturally strengthens bowel action, but never artificially stimulates it. By all means try Nujol the best means of relieving chronic or occasional constipation. To be "regular as clockwork" make your own test of NujoL ABSOLUTELY HARMLESS There are no substitutes there is only Nujol. At retry drag stare. Send 50o and we will ship new kit size to loldiert and lailori anywhere.

they had no car In the world for money. Most of the fellows Rave their clothes to the Jielglan Relief Committee. Of course we took in the sights of Columbus as we were there six days. Finally we were told to p;rk up one mornlnjc and be reidy to leave at ten o'clock. We were nil excited nnd anxious to be on our way to the training camp. There were forty-two of us and we
had a car to ourselves on a train for
riftshursr. ra. We left Columbus at 1J:30 noon and arrived tt I'ittsburjr about midnight. It was colder thin II 1 so we didn't leave the station but just waited for the train from Chlcapo to arrive so we could be on our way. When I awoke the next mornlner we had crossed the ,Al!eE:hny mountains and were at Cumberland. Md. The scenery from there on was pretty and Itook my first trip through a tunnel nt Harper's Fi . rv. We saw the monument marklnar the place where John Brown was hantrd At this point we crossed the Potomac. Ttiver and were soon In Washington. D. C. Only had one hour there between trains so didn't have much chance to look around. We finally arrived at Cnmp Meade about .1:30 p. m. and were taken to the reviving: station where we pot our barracks assignment and were taken to our mess hall. Wo spent the rst of the winter there and were finally moved to Tjiurel Pace Track. Md. I puess ITarry Portz and some of the other bovs who follow the
