In n hospital in New York there were
two clever surgeons, each of whom hail
earned world-wide renown by his re-
markable specialized knowledge. Only
the most desperate cases, those requir-
ing intricate surgical knowledge, were
brought to them. It was noted by a
close observer of these two men, that
the subjects operated on by one of
• hem almost Invariably succumbed—
while those operated on by the other
surgeon almost invariably survived.
The curious observer was a confiden-
tial friend of the resident physician
of the hospital. He wanted to know.
“Just what," he queried, "is the dif-
ference between these two distinguish-
ed operators?”
“The difference," returned the house
physician, “oh, about twenty minutes,
[ should say.”
There was the secret—twenty min-
utes difference In the time of perform-
ing an operation. One man was deft,
swift, sure. The other was sure, but
slow. IHs too deliberate methods kept
the nervous system of the patient un-
3er too long a strain, and the system
frequently could not survive the shock.
The other man was like a flash—he cut
and slashed—in a jiffy lie was through.
Through twenty minutes sooner than
als brother surgeon. That twenty min-
utes meant life on the one hand—death
an the other.
If you’ve got a friend or relative in
the trenches, there is one picture that
keeps recurring to your mind. A thou-
sand times you see tills boy meeting in-
stant death. Your young friend hasn’t
one chance In ten thousand of being
Instantly killed. The number of bul-
lets that find their mark in the brain,
ar that pierce any vital organ, is ex-
tremely limited. Tlie great loss of life
upon a battlefield does not result from
svounds immediately fatal. The great
langer in this war as in all wars, is
from wounds, not in themselves lrame-
iiately fatal, hut wounds that become
serious only with the passage of time.
Flesh wounds may be entirely super-
nal, and yet may become terribly
fatal. The victim may bleed to death,
ie may suffer exposure, infection, fe-
Eer, pneumonia—from ids enforced ex-
posure — gangrene, mortification
leutli.
The Answer Is—Time.
In such a case, why does he live and
jet well, if lie lives? Why does he die,
f he dies? What ks the difference?
The answer is, time. The answer may
oe, twenty hours or twenty minutes.
Suppose it were possible to pick up
’very wounded man the instant that
ie’s hit, to remove him swiftly from
he battlefield or the trench to a first-
-lass hospital, to give him the immedi-
ite attention of nurses and surgeons,
if that picture were true, the fatalities
n our armies would be almost iu-
initesimal.
Look in the darker picture. Your
1 fingers to the bone, It’s these people.
What, then, Is wanted, In order that
they may get to your young friend
twenty minutes sooner, an hour sooner,
five hours sooner? What will do this 1
Money, that’s all. More money
means more Red Cross people on the
field, more Red Cross ambulances on
service, more equipment, more medi-
cines, more instruments, more band-
ages, more dressings—more everything.
The Red Cross has got efficiency work-
ed up to Its highest point, it Is doing
Its best—It can do no more.
But you can do more. All you’ve
got to do is to multiply this efficiency
and keep on multiplying it. And dol-
lars will do that—nothing but dollars.
If your dollars can get a wounded man
attention twenty minutes enrller than
he otherwise would get it, you give him
a hundred chances where he lias hut
one—you are likely to save his life.
You’ve subscribed to the Red Cross be-
fore—we all understand that. We all
did that, too. But our friend over
there In the trenches is likely to get
wounded half a dozen times. lies

help, your money. He needs it badly
now. Every dollar that you put In may
heal one wound. Every fifty dollars

PATRIOTS, BEHIND THE LINES
By BARNETTA BROWN
of the Vigilantes.
These patriots are way, way behind
the lines. They live in Brooklyn, and
not only in Brooklyn, but far in the
rear of Brooklyn, where the last end
of a subway is coining to n conclusion.
These patriots may he called alien pa-
triots, for many of them have not been
here long. They are small patriots,
for the eldest is only about ten. Their
mothers keep the homes, and their
fathers dig the peaceful trenches for
the subway. So they are not very
well-to-do patriots. In fact, they are
quite otherwise; they are poor in ev-
erything but patriotism. In that they
are very rich. They are full of it,
crammed in, pressed down and run-
ning over, ns you will agree. It bub-
bled so, inside of them, that they hud

But how? They had just nothing to

fuud to send somewhere; no pennies
to buy tobacco for the soldier’s pipes;
no pennies to buy worsted to knit
with. What should they do?

thinks to himself, they’ll take care of
him now. But ahead of him is a waiting
list of groaning, wounded men. There’s
nothing for it, lie’s got to wait his turn.
Hours pass. The wounded come in by
dozens. Medical supplies give out-
medicine gives out. Dressings give
out. There are not enough surgical in-
struments to go around. Finally, with
your man at the height of a raging fe-

Would three hours and twenty minutes
have saved him? Almost certainly,
yes. Five hours certainly would have
saved him. He died because there was
a delay of hours or minutes—that’s the
difference—time.
Your Money Will Help.

does the fault lie? Why didn’t they
get your man fixed up so his life and

question of army doctors or army nur-

capable to the last word, working tbetrl
and means, or rather, the utter lack
of them, till at last the situation was
cleared by one determined little mite.
She took off one of her mittens, say-
ing:
“I can change the other one round.
Anyhow you can’t knit with mittens
on.”
Five or six pairs of childish eyes
watched her eagerly, as she com-
menced to unravel her mitten.
“Go get me some skewers, Johnny.”
Johnny flew, and soon returned with
several. The nearest butcher had been
kind.
“I’m going to knit,” the small girl
announced. “I’m going to knit squares
for blankets, for those Belgian ba-
bies.”
The idea caught at once. Such a
Rcurrying as there was! Mothers were
pleaded with; odd corners were
searched; even ash barrels were in-
vestigated. From unsuspected quar-
ters old tarns, old scarfs, old shawls,
old stockings, old mittens, were

but everything that could he gotten
hold of that would unravel was un-
earthed; and the work began, and
went on. The children knitted with
skewers, with pieces of steel, with any-
thing that would hold a stitch am*
connect it with another,
And so we found them one day, sit l
ting all huddled together on the stoop
of one of the tenements; all knitting
with the crinkly wool, the little
squares. It was a picture of child
life not easily forgotten, and we
watched, and thought; and as w
turned away, we knew that our hearts
would always be more soft and kind,
because we had seen this little group
of little patriots, knitting their little
squares, to cover the little cold babies
of Belgium.
Success Has Followed All Their ^UB
Efforts. STOMACH SOUR.
On the train from Edmonton to Win-
nipeg the writer took a seat beside a
soldier who had returned from the
front. On his breast he wore the
beautiful distinguished service medal.
One coat sleeve was armless, and on
his left cheek he bore a scar that lie
would carry to his grave. He hud j
served his country faithfully and well.
At the first call for soldiers In August, J
19K he hastened to the recruiting j
office, leaving his 320-acre farm, with
its crop ready for harvest a f'1"
equipment of farm Implements, plenty
of horses, and n Wife. The wife should
not be last on the list for she proved
tiie master of the situation, and loy-
ally took hold of the question of pro-
duction. while her husband was on his
way to fight the Hun. And she suc-
ceeded. In 1915 she succeeded, and
again In 1910, nnd when her husband
returned in 1917 she was able to show
some contemplated farm buildings
completed, the Indebtedness of the farm
paid off, a considerable addition to the
stock, and the land ready for a 1917
crop. This was the story told by the
soldier, and wasn’t lie a proud man!
He was now ready to do what he could
to keep up the period of prosperitj ^
and provide food for the allies. The i
women of Canada have done nobly
during the struggle.
Among the most successful farmers
of the Oak Lake district, Manitoba, !
are llie Misses Clara and Beatrice For- j
ward, who, for the past fourteen years, t
have farmed their own land, doing all ,
the regular w’ork on the farm, such as j
plowing, seeding, summer fallowing
and reaping. They have been espe- i
dally successful with stock, and have ,
a splendid herd of shorthorns, both j
purebred and grade. At the recent
Brandon sale they purchased a new
purebred stock bull for $700. Theit 1
herd was lust year Increased by 23
calves.
Miss R. M. Hillman of Keeler. Sas- j
katehewan, is another successful
woman farmer. She has gone In ex-
t“nsively for grain growing, and farms j
1,120 acres. She also owns some of j
the finest Percheron horses in Sas-
katchewan.
The prairie now boasts of many j
women who have had more or less sue- j
cess, though few’ are farming on the
same large scale as Miss Hillman and
the Misses Forward. These women
have demonstrated, and are still dem-
onstrating, that a versatile woman
may be Just as good and successful a
farmer as her brother.
There are other women, too, on the
Canadian prairies, who, though they
have not had thrown upon them the re-
sponsibilities of “running a farm,”
have been decided factors in making
the farm a success. They assist their
husbands by keeping the farm ac-
counts. reducing the grocer’s bills by
their management of the poultry and
butter, taking care of the house, and,
very often, proving good advisers in
tlie economic management of the men
and general conduct of the farm work.
The man who moves to Canada car-
ries with him a wonderful asset in a
good managing wife.—Advertisement.
