THE LAKE SHORE NEWS, THURSDAY, MARCH 7, 1918 (Nl ^^^)ociaicAjd'ivji"l"i&6 ft i ji MRS. ST. CLAIR STOBART, a real major in the Serbian army, the only officer of all the forces of the Serbians, whose battalion went through the horrors of the great 800 mile retreat without a desertion and without grumbling, the first woman in the world to command a flying field hospital, told the story of devastated Servia and ruined Belgium to several hundred women yesterday afternoon. She addressed a meeting in the Wil- mette Woman's club under the auspices of the Wilrnette Home Guard. With eyes filled with tears she related her experiences as the commander of the first woman's field hospital, of that unit's retreat Mrs. St. Clair Stobart before the German army, and of more than three month's hardship. She related how she was made a prisoner by the Germans while engaged in hospital work in Belgium, and condemned to death at Aix-la-Chapelle in August 1914. She left Antwerp over a pontoon bridge with the last refugees, as the city was being demolished by German shell tire. "The British Government seems to think that the best service 1 can render at this time is to talk and so 1 have come to tell of the tragedies I have seen," she said amid smiles. Though Miss Gertrude Van Hoeseu was unable to he present herself ut the nu-etin.tr of the Parent-Teacher's Association of the Lo^an school, on Monday afternoon, she sent a very interesting and delightful substitute in the person of Miss Lilian Hell, national president of the Children's Patriotic League. It will be re- membered. 1 think, that Miss Bell was the originator oi the idea of the Children's Christmas Ship, which was sent to Belgium way back in Making Co., a woman of great ex- 1914, and as a result of which 1000 j in« Company, a woman of great_ ex- newspapers made especial mention All housewives are finding the same difficulty, that of combining the substitutes for white rlour, and therefore they will undoubtedly be interested in the great demonstrat- ion which is to be held on Wednes- day, Thursday and Friday of next week between the hours of 10 and 12 a. in. and 2 and 4 p. m. at the Con- gregational church. Mrs. Anna 1. Peterson, of the Household Econo- mics department of the Rumgord and 14 million children contributed presents. Through the excellent results of the Xmas ship came the organization of the Children's Patriotic League, and though many attempts have been made to send a Children's Relief Ship abroad, it has been practically impossible, owing to the great need of the ships for the trans- porting of food, supplies, and men. In the various- towns, the children gathertogethcr at stated times.bring- ing with them all waste paper, tin foil, scrap iron' and rags be collected in their homes. An interesting fact is Sarah Bernhardt is the mother of the league. Miss Becker's grade in the school won the statue of the "Good Fairy" this month, a reward tor the great- est number represented at the meet- which can respective that Mine, fairv god- Mi perience. will be in charge of these demonstrations of the substitutes, rice, barley, corn meal, potato and soy bean, as well the rye and graham (lour which are not substitutes.

G. 04326 SPECIAL PRICES IN FORCE MARCH 11th TO 16th BUYING OF SUBSTITUTES for white flour seems to be the great stumbling block. It is just as hard for me as it is for you, but the Presidents proclamation must be observed, and any Retailer who does not observe it lays himself liable to the closing of his business. For every pound of substitute you can buy one pound of white flour. Save all your substitute orders for several days, or a week, and buy an equal quantity of white flour with them. OLIVE OIL is very scarce and high. If you must have it, buy now. These are all pure, fancy brands, but only a small quantity left. Dumouron.
