cities. But many of the camps must

expenditure of such large sums of
money.
WOMEN’S WORK
(Savannah Press)
The question a > to what becomes of
all these things we see the women
knitting in street cars, in autos, on
the streets or at home is answered by
a bulletin just issued by the American
Red Cross. A circular fro mthe head -
quarters of this organization states
that knitted articles contributed by
women amount to ; 14,089,000. And it
answers a few other questions of sim
ilar interest. Here is a list of wo
men’s accomplishments in the seven
teen months the United States was
in the war:
Surgical dressings 253,196,000
Knitted articles 14,089,000
Refugee garments 1,464,000
Hospital garments, etc. __ 22,255,000
“A total of 291,004,000 finished ar
ticles turned out while keeping the
home fires burning,” is the eloquent
comment made by tSfe head of the
Red Cross.
The army of women workers was
THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1918
made up of 3,870 chapters, with more
than 31,000 branches and auxilaries,
including more than 8,000,000 women
These are skilled workers. The arti
cles they made were standardized.
The American Red Cross, therefore,
has become one of the world’s great
est manufacturing concerns.
Practically every American fighting
man overseas has at least one of the
knitted articles provided by the wo
men of America, and nothing receiv
ed by the men has caused more ap
preciation and gratitude. At the
same time, a tremendous amount of
manufactured articles has been sent
to France, England, Belgium, Russia,
Serbia, Italy—whereever there was
need for them.
Hundreds of millions of yards of
gauze, 100,000,000 yards of fabric
and millions of pounds of yarn have
been turned into finished articles by
the fingers of devoted women. Of
buttons alone more than 20,000,000
were used. Of thread, more than
250,000,000 yards were employed.
All buying has been upon a titanic
basis. The Red Cross report on wo
men’s vaork closes with the following
appreciative comment:
“In presenting this phase of Ameri
can Red Cross activities the war coun
cil wishes to assure the millions of
women who have chosen to work
through the Red Cross of its gratitude
for their enormou sservice, rendered
often at great, but always cheerful
sacrifice. In this gratitude every loy
al American will join with deep sin
cerity.”
The Savannah women have done
thier share of this work. Nowhere in
America have the women been more
patriotic and more diligent than here.
The Red Cross, as Savannahians
know it, is a virile, active, living, en
ergetic agency.
Do it now—SHOP EARLY
WHY NOT DO IT NOW?
Due to conditions brought about by
the war the person who neglects his
Christmas shopping until the last min
ute will have cause for regret this
year. It will take months if not years
to unscramble some of the things
that have been scrambled, and normal
business conditions are not yet in
sight.
Transportation is still congested;
goods are scarce in many lines; there
is no probability of replenishing de
pleted stocks—and the weather is
likely to be at its worst just before
the holidays. Then, too, there is the
jam and push and scramble. The ser
vices cannot be the best when every
body is trying to shop at the same
time.
These are some of the reasons why
you should get through with your
Christmas shopping at the earliest
possible moment. The salespeople
should be considered also. A week’s
shopping crowded into one day makes
Christmas a nightmare for the tired
clerks.
Holiday buying can be made a
pleasure. It is a pleasure when one
takes time and selects from well ord
ered stocks. It is anything but a
pleasure to the buyer as well as the
seller when delayed until the last
minute and one must elbow his way
through a mob, make selections from
depleted stocks, faces bad weather—
and doesn’t always get just what he
wants.
All government agencies have unit
ed in requesting that Christmas shop
ping be done enrly. Plain, common
sense directs that this duty be gotten
through with as early as possible.
Why delay?
Do your Christmas shopping early.

BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE BY A GE
ORGIA EDITOR TO OLD
FASHIONED MOTHER
, From The Hartwell Sun
Thank God! some of us have an
old-fashioned mother. Not a woman
painted and enameled, with all the
society manners and fine dresses,
whose white jeweled hands never felt
the clasp of baby fingers, but a dear
old-fashioned mother with a sweet
voice, eyes into whose clear depths
the love light shone and brown hair,
just threaded with silver, lying
smooth upon her faded cheek. Those
dear hands, worn with toil, gently
guided our steps in childhood, and
smoothed our cheek in sickness, ever
reaching out to us in yearning tender
ness. Blessed is the memory of the
old-fashioned mother. It floats to us
like the beautiful perfume of some
woods blossoms. The mujjic of other
voices may be lost, but the enchant
ing memory of her will echo in our
soul forever.
GIRLS! HAVE WAVY,
THICK, GLOSSY HAIR
FREE FROM DANDRUFF
Save Your Hair! Double its
Beauty in a Few Moments
—Try This!
If you care for heavy hair, that
glistens with beauty and is radiant
with life; has an incomparable soft
ness and is fluffy and lustrous, try
Danderine.
Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair, besides it imme
diately dissolves every particle of
dandruff; you cannot have nice, hea
vy, healthy hair if you have dandruff.
This destructive scurf robs the hair
of its lustre, its strength and its very
life, and if not overcome it produces
a feverishness and itching of th scalp;
the hair roots famish, loosen and die;
then the hair falls out fast.
If your hair has been neglected
and is thin, faded, dry, scraggy or
too oily, get a small bottle of Knowl
ton's Danderine at any drug store or
toilet counter for a few cents; apply
a little a s directed and ten minutes
after you will say this was the best
investment you ever made.
We sincerely believe, regardless
of everything else advertised, that if
you desire soft, lustrous, beautiful
hair and lots of it—no dandruff—no
itching scalp and no more falling
hair—you must use Knowlton’s Dan
derine. If eventually—why not now.

AN ENGLISHMAN’S TRIBUTE TO
THE STARS AND STRIPES
In Los Angeles there were five gen
tlemen representing a different na
tionality, who, from frequent asso
ciation have become friends. One is
a Russian, one a Turk, one a French
man, one an American, and one an
Englishman. These five frequently
assemble together and talk of the
comparative merits of the respective
countries which they represent, and
thus their companionship is a source
of instruction as well as entertain
ment. Recently they gave a cham
pagne supper, to which a few friends
were invited. During the course of
this dinner, it was proposed that each
of these five give a toast to his native
country, the one giving the best toast
to be at no expense for the feast. The
result was these toasts:
The Russian—“ Here’s to the stars
and bars of Russia, that were never
pulled down.”
The Turk—“ Here’s to the moons of
Turkey whose wings have never been
clipped.”
The Frenchman—“ Here’s to the
cock of France, whose feathers were
never picked.”
The American—“ Here’s to the
Stars and Stripes of America that
have never trailed in defeat.”
The Englishman—“ Here’s to the
rampin’, roarin' lion of Great Britain,
that tore down the stars and bars of
Russia, clipped the wings of Turkey,
picked the feathers off the cock of
France, and ran like hell from the
stars and stripes of the United States
of America.”
The Englishman was at no ex
pense for the feast.
No Worms in a Healthy Child
All children troubled with worms have an un
healthy color, which indicates poor blood, and as a
rule, there is more or less stomach disturbance
GROVE’S TASTELESS chill TONIC given regularly
for two or three weeks will enrich the blood, im
prove the digestion, and act as a General Strength
ening Tonic to the whole system. Nature will then
throw off or dispel the worms, and the Child will be
in perfect health. Pleasant to take. 60c per bottle.
