This course is required as 1 prep aration for service in connection with the base hospital units now being or ganized by the American Red Cross for service in event of war. The mere taking of either course and receiving certificate for the same Goes not pledge one to volunteer her service in case OI war. mc y. fitted to serve as nurses' aids is made by co-operation between the instruc tor, the examiner and the chief nurse of a base hospital. The certificates are signed Dy uie president of the United States and the president of the Young Women's Christian association's national or ganization. Miss htta Pickering, gen eral secretary here, has had interest ing experience with the Red Cross work in San Antonio, Tex., where the local branch used the Young Women s Christian association fiuild inf for their headquarters and the Young Women's Christian associa tion conducted four classes in Red Cross first aid work. What with appeals being made to women to encourage their men folks to enlist, woman's part will be no small one should the crisis material ize. No more eloquent tribute to the part she has borne so nobly in the European war could be utttcred than the one made publicly by David Lloyd-George in his memorable speech in the House of Commons last week, practically assuring British women of the franchise in the near future.

SATURDAY TILL J:30 "R1 Mrs. ED CROSS" work" Is upper- most in the clubwoman s .mind and most . frequently the phrase on her lips. The prospect is her hands wilt soon be busily engaged on the actual work, for the two local chapters of the Daugh ters of the American Revolution have already secured quarters in the army building at Fifteenth and Dodge streets and have called a meeting to discuss plans for details of the work, Wednesday at 3 o'clock. Mrs. William Archibald Smith is In teresting Omaha women in the Na tional League for Women's Service, a nonpartisan organization formed in Washington in January. The execu tive committee of what is to be the Omaha organization met at the Fon tenelle Saturday afternoon. Eleven divisions of the ' work have been created, including agriculture, home economics, hospital supply work, tel- , signaling and map reading. J. J. Stubbs of the United daughters of 1812 presented the needs and requirements for Red Cross work to the Nebraska chapter at a special meeting Saturday and the V. S. Grant Woman's Relief corps takes up the matter Tuesday at Me morial hall. Other patriotic organi zations are already enlisted or plan to join in the work shortly. In this connection the Young Women's Christian association's class in Red Cross first aid work is espe cially interesting. Dr. Olga Stastny now has a class of twenty-three busi ness girls meeting every Monday i night at 7 o'clock. The class in home .! nursing, numbering fifteen, has Miss Bess Randall of the Visiting Nurse association as instructor. For the last six years the national joard of the Young women s Chris 'ian association has been co-operating iMth the American Ked Cross in con lucting such classes. Recently the Ked Cross bureau of nursing service offered the course in elementary hy niene and home care of the sick to Genuine Co-operation Assured Everyone Is Getting: Into the SPIRIT of DRESSING UP forEASTER There never has been and never will be any strings to our Guarantee of Perfect Satisfaction in Clothes We want you to have the Fullest Measure of Clothes Value obtain able at any given price. pgr raft iHF mm imt Nature often need help to keep the digestive system in a normal condition, and with the aid of - '.
