Appetite For Honey
Brings Soldiers Trouble
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
IX FRANCE, March 16.—There are
certain members of the American
expeditionary forces whose appetite
for honey has brought them into
difficulties with the Provost Marshal.
There are dozens of complaints from
French farmers that roaming Ameri
can soldiers have carried off bee
hives.
In some cases the hives have been
found minus the honey, while in
others the soldiers did not have
time to extract it, before the provost
guards came around and rescued
the hives and returned them to their
owners.
One hive-hunting guard was well
stung during a rescue. It went
through nearby commands hoping
to identify by bee stings the men
who had removed the hives from a
hill a couple of miles away. They
were unsuccessful for there was not
a sting on any soldier's face or
hands. The provost has come to the
Conclusion that there are many
American soldiers who had some
thing to do with bees before coming
into the army.

FRIDAY EVENING,
+ Red Cross Notes *
Thirty-flve thousand dollars for
yarn! '
Have you been knitting in all your
spare moments for months, only to
be met on your last request for yarn
with the new regulation that yarn
must be paid for?
•Do you feel tha't this new Chapter
policy is entirely contradictory to the
urgent need for knitted goods?
Do you feel that it is particularly
unreasonable in view of the fact that
you, who are too busy to help in
other ways, can find time to knit,
and are charged for the privilege of
doing ao?
Heads of the Harrisburg Red
Cross Chapter ask you to reserve
jour judgment on these questions un
til you read in detail the difficulties
of the Chapter, who are responsible
to you for the wise handling of the
money which you have contributed.
The following figures show just
what the purchasing of yarn has
cost: '
Total Tarn
Months. Supplies. Alone.
August, September 4,807Jf: $2,330.60
October, November 8,260.50 3,633.97
December, January 23,935.87 17,841.26'
February, March.. 20,852.61 10,858.00
From April 1, 1917, to February 1,
1918, $35,000 was spent for yarn
alone, but tills does not show the sit
uatior so clearly as the fact that on
February 1 the yarn department was
costing more to maintain than the
surgical dressings and the hospital
garments combined.
Yarn which in April of last year
cost $2 a pound was costing $2.50 in
February.
Therefore, the Chapter executive
committee and the special committee
appointed to consider the question
were confronted with three alterna
tives:
First, either the Chapter must
limit its knitted work to the small
amount which the Chapter in view of
its other responsibilities could
finance; second, or it must seriously
hamper and cut down the amount of
garment and surgical dressings pro
duced, so that all the money could
be spent for yarn; third, or it must
ask its knitters to keep on knitting
and find extra contributions to the
Red Cross in the form of part pay
ment for the yarn, and ask its mem
bers who do not knit to help support
a free yarn fund for the benefit of
those expert knitters who turn in so
much work that it would be impos
sible for them to pay for even a por
tion of the material required for each
article.
The first plan was rejected because
the committee thought that it would
reduce our output too drastically.
The second was rejected because, al
though the sweaters and other warm
knitted things are eagerly requested
by our soldiers and much appreciated
by them, they can hardly be ranked
in importance with the surgical
dressings and hospital garments upon
which our hospitals in France are
largely dependent.
The third plan was adopted be

Don't Experiment With Catarrh;
It Often Leads to Dread Consumption
You Will Never Be Cured by
Local Treatment With Sprays
and Douches
Catarrah is a condition of the
blood and can not be cured by local
applications of sprays and douches;
thit. has been proven by the thou
sands - who have vainly resorted to
this method of treatment.
Catarrah should not be neglected
or experimented with. The wrong
treatment is valuable tijne lost. (Tur
ing which the disease is getting a
firmer hold upon its victim, and
making it more difficult for even
the proper treatment to accomplish
results.
Though Catarrh makes its first
appearance in the nostrils, throat
and air passages, the disease be-
cause the committee thought that,
although the output would be reduced
to a certain extent, it would not se
riously be hampered if the .knitters
understood how important their con
tributions to this fund were.
We expect alj our frfie yarn to be
used each month. Our only regret
13 that the supply will be sufficient
only to fill the demand of our most
experienced knitters. This Chapter is
not the only one confronted by this
dilemma, however. The Pittsburgh
Chapter, one of the wealthiest in the
state, has teen oompelled to discon
tinue distribution of free yarn.
The enormous yarn expenditure to
February 1 resulted in the following
output: .
Sweaters, 5,071.
Pairs of socks ,1,713.
Wristlets, 2,288.
Mufflers, 4,006.
Helmets. 1,048.
Therefore, if you do not knit,
please contribute to the free yarn
fund, so that others may not need
to reduce their knitting.
If you do knit, and can possibly
afford it, please keep right on and
pay the small amount asked for the
yarn for each article.
