Miss Madeline B&nzhof of Denver,
Col., former social worker in the
Washington Children's Hospital, Is
given full credit for making Gilman,
Col., famed as the Spotless Town, on
the ground that it is the cleanest?or,
at least, one of the cleanest?towns
! In the Lnited States. Going there as
a public health nurse, she institutes
health crusades, clean-up davs and
various movements for the "better
ment of the town.
When nurses were begging for
overseas service, two years ago, Miss
Banzhof decided to serve at home
and asked to be sent to some town
where there was no public health
nurse. A few days later she was
on her way to Gilman. When she
arrived she found the streets un
kempt and a general air of dejection
dominating. A cliff just beyond the
settlement had for years been used
as a dumping ground. There was a
widespread prevalence of children's
diseases and lack of cleanliness.
Miss Banzhof started a health cru- I
sade In the local school and its les- '
sons were carried to the homes bl
ithe children. Improvement was soon
noticeable both in the school and in
the homes. She later carried her
message of cleanliness to a boarding
house where fifty men lived. All of
the men became interested and joined
the crusade.

SOLDIER PATIENT HAILS
RED CROSS AS FRIEND
Sergt. Bosh Writes to Mother of
Tireless Service That Never
Seemed to Flag.
"I want you to feel that the Red
Cross is a friend in need, and it makes
me feel much easier in mind to know
that although away from home, with
a few words here I can set the power
ful machinery of a stanch friend in
motion and immediately put to roui
that old enemy?trouble."
So writes Herman L. Bush, late first
sergeant. Company B, 102d Machine
Gun Battalion, and now a patient at
Walter Reed Hospital, to his mother.
All through his letter Sergt. Bush
shows his appreciation of all the Red
Cross has done for him, from the time
he left the United States two years
aro, carrying a toilet kit, sweater and
warm socks, Its gift, during all the
campaigns and battles in which he
took part, until, finally, he reach- j
ed the hospital where he Is now un-l
dergoing treatment. Sergt. Bush lost
his right hand, his left leg and his
left eye in battle, and his letter is
written from the standpoint of "one
who knows."
He tells of the comforts provided
during the training period and of the
tireless service that never, during his
service, seemed to flag.
"One thing pleased me immensely,"
he notes. "Every package of cookies
and cigarettes carried a label on
which was printed "The gift of the
American people through the Ameri
can Red Cross.' It made me feel as
if I were on intimate terms with the
nation and it seemed to say. 'We, the
people of America, are backing you
to the limit."
"You, mother, could not have done
more for me in the matter of care." he
declares, referring to the long: days
and nights in hospital after receiving
his wounds, and adds:
"In fact, is impossible to do the
Red Cross justice."

Proper Laundering for Starched
Collars, Cuffs and Shirts.
Starched collars, cuffs and shirts are again coming
into vogue. Better dressed men everywhere are turning
to them for both dress and business wear.
During the war men learned the value of tfim dress,
and the increasing popularity of starched collars, cuffs
and shirts is attributed to that object lesson.
ELITE
Just as we launder starched collars, cuffs ancfefnrts to
look their best, so does ELITE FAMILY LAUNDRY
SERVICE offer to the housewife the perfect solution to
wash day troubles.
The reasonableness of the cost of ELITE FAMILY
LAUNDRY SERVICE may be judged from the fact that/
All wearing apparel of this nature is made to look its
best by our modern scientific methods of laundering.
When we launder such articles for you they will be
returned immaculately clean and with a smooth, lustrous,
pearly finish.
A trial will convince you of the par-excellence of our
service.
SERVICE
while our minimum charge is 75c, the average cost for
thousands of bundles last week was only $1.33.
It makes the "sad" irons "glad" by not only washing
things spotlessly clean, but by returning them with nearlv
all the ironing done.
