Out Will Come Surgical Dressings for Sammies 1 'J'here will be a great overhauling of cast-off jewelry boxes this week for old bits of jewelry and silver to put into the melting pots in the win dow of Brown's jewelry store and the rooms of the War Relief society in the Baird building. The huge pots will be placed on tripods, the flags of the allies flying from the top. It is 'thought that this method of raising money for a good cause will be welcome, as everyone has some old worn pieces of silver or gold, or broken jewelry. Often these are not worth mending and if exchanged in bulk fbr new articles their intrinsic value seems to melt to naught, but many of these little silver and gold junk piles put together would relieve Aryty Notes Military Weddings.

The heads and dec orations with which the ceremonial gowns of the girls are trimmed are "honors' granted to them in recogni tion of definite accomplishments in home craft, health craft, camp craft, hand craft, nature lore, husiness train ing and patriotism. Hand Craft. Under the head of "hand craft," for instance, there are 10 distinct voca tions besides other useful accomplish ments which the girl members may acquire and thus secure "honors" and advancement in the association. These include brass work, silver work, bas ket work even to the caning of chairs, wood carving, carpentry, painting, book binding, photography, knitting and the work of a locksmith. Some of these will obviously be useful to the railroads and factories which are now advertising for women. Knit ting, wliich has heen a regular part of the hand craft program, has dem onstrated its worth in the immense amount of work that the t'anipliic Girls have done for the Ked Cross. Business "Honors." The business "honors" include keeping a bank account, serving as treasurer, typewriting, shorthand, sav ing money, living within an allow ance and many other definite and con crete things to which the permission to wear the decorative symbols lends a glamor of accomplishment. The value of these, now that many men in offices are being replaced by girls, is obvious. There are at present nearly 800 such "honors' officially promul gated by Campfire headquarters and all the work and study that the Camp fire Girls and women have done to earn them is actually resulting in much good to the nation. Omaha Campfire Girls. The following girls have proved themselves to be the most depend able, the best mixers, the jolliest and the most efficient ot all the t amp hire Girls in the citv.

'V t . o Gained Eighteen Pounds in Two Weeks Used Peruna I feel After the Sixth Bottle I Am Cured of Stomach and Intestinal Catarrh. m Mr. William Vogel, Pharmacist, Columbus, O., writes: "I take the privilege of addressing you in a few words of praise for Peruna at a remedy of medicinal lue in cases of ttomach and intei f.inal catarrh. "I was in the drug business six years, in Columbus, and was among the unfortunates in that great disas trous flood of the West Side a year ago last March. Nearly all of the one hundred that perished in that flood were friends or patrons. "Through cold and exposure nnd improper food during the flood, I was taken with upendicitis and acute intestinal catarrh. In June and July my life was despaired of, but recovered sufficiently to be up and around. My bowels seemed paralyzed. Was compelled to use in jections once or twice a day. vCould eat no solid food. I "The first of last December I de cided to try Peruna. My bowels be gan to move at once, without the use of injection. Peristaltic action began to take place, and have not used an injection since. My appe tite improved, and very soon solid foods could be taken. In two months' . time I gained eighteen pounds. Now 1 I am heavier than I ever was before. 1 "I am taking the sixth bottle of Peruna at this writing, and feel that I am cured of the stomach and in testinal catarrh."
