And What la Has Accompilshed
"When we were told by the Pensaeola
Chapter A. R. C. to establish a canteen
here we were ; at first overwhelmed at
the Idea, bat we were soon in possession
of stack of literature sent us from
Aed Craam Alvldnn hMdmmrtM i.
Unta that made everything very clear.
aiao maae us realise just what an under
taking we had before us.
The Pensaeola chapter appointed my
two assistant eflmmsntfantm Mm t ti
MeKetU and Mrs Stephen ee. x nen we
iirai appoiniea two captains, Mrs. Lee
KeeDonen and Sirs. W. H. Watson, . and
w went -down to headquarters here and
were sworn; in.
We, and ery one In' this work had to
take a Very binding oath, because of the
Information ' we - received about troop
movements. Uy two captains filled their
teams with splendid workers. Mrs. Mac
DonelTs team 1 was composed of two
lieutenants. Miss Stella Avery and Mrs.
Wllmer Hall, and the privates were Miss
Evelyn Thornton. -Miss Marjorlt Tonge,
Mrs. D. H. Shepard, Mrs. J. F. Dusen
bury. Mrs. J. H. Plerpont. Mies Harriett
Carbine and Miss Annie Chaplne McLane.
Mrs. Watson had on her team, Mrs. L.
DeM. Blocker and Miss Modiste Harsls.
lieutenants; prlvats. Mrs. Leslie Part-ridg-e.
Mrs. J. W. Bullock, Mrs. K. C,
Maxwell, Mrs. F. , W. Marsh. Mm. W. k.
Hyer, Mrs. B. Harvey. Mrs, Eastman
and later Miss 'Mattle Whiting; and Miss
Eonannen.' ,
.. The captains ef these teams were ae
ery proud of their workers, that they
named them after those celebrated French
and Scotch regiments "i'te Blue Devils"
and "The Ladies From Hell." We soon
found that our work was growing so rap
idly that we needed two more teams, so
appointed Mrs. C. Bay Mitchell, captain of
one. with. Mrs. R. A. Hyer and Mrs.
James Maegtbbon as lieutenants. The
Privates 'were Miss Isabelle Grant. Miss
Orr, Miss Mabel Gonzalez, Mrs. : Herron
D'Alenrberte. Mrs. J. Galleger Mrs. J. R.
MeLane and Mrs. FVB. Hagerman. Our
other team had two captains. Mrs. C W.
Lamar, who resigned her captaincy to
serve as a private, because of her Liberty
loan chairmanship, was succeeded by Mrs.
J. 8. Reese; with Mrs. Thomas W. Brent
and Mrs. Walter B. Coney lieutenants.
Her prtavtes . were Miss Haley, Mis
Francis Brent. Mrs. J. H. Brown. Mr.
Crutn. . Mrs. Horace Simpson nd Miss
Mottle Blount; Mrs. O. H. Anson was one
of our reserves.
Our first experience was serving
tralnload of draft men and they certanly
enjoyed the Iced tea and sandwiches.
Right here I would like to say that 1
can't imagine any more thrillinsr sishl
than a train of fifteen coaches of soN
dlers, and how they always cheered when
they saw the Red Cross canteen. They
always called us nurses. We would have
The
good things to eat and drink for them, and
good cheer, I really think they appreciate
ed our cheerful words and smiles more
than the eats, and that's saying a good
deal.: -t- -i
Mr. K. O. Saltmarsh gave us a room at
the station, and we met the morning an-1
afternoon trains every day, aside from the
troops trains, and on Christmas day we
had a tree,-that we kept lighted for &
week, and kept presents of home-made
cake, and candy, nuts, raisins, etc.. piled
around it that we gave to every man who
earn 3 thrpush; also turkey sandwiches
and" coftee. We had two workers there
an hour- at a time all Christmas day.
starting at five In the morning and keep
ing the room open until twelve that night.
Kvery fay proved the falsity of the
statement htat women are never on time.
Wheneer I t ecc'.ed notice of a" troop train
X would phone the captain of the team
on duty, and when I would get to the
station that team would be drawn up to
give me, the salute when I entered.
Please" lcn"t get the idea that canteen
work is r-lxy. It-cause it wasn't, it was
hard steady worv. mine sometimes began
at four in the mcrnlng an4 ended -it
twelve at night. Never mind how badly
it stormed, our workers did their duty
with never a grumb), end their husband
were Joe as nice. toi?. Never mind now
tired we were, when we heard that "Three
cheers for th Ri.-d Cross" and saw a
traintoa I of smiling -faces that we had
helpod to niako happy, why wo were ha
py. too. ,:. .
JCvory day we , wopld have from four
to sixty " soldiers and sailors on the regu
lar trains.
The Army and Naw club gave us the
f j ee use of their rhower baths for tie
mn. and the laJi'.x In town were 1oj y
about g.vteg thair ataamobiles, and i
ttear the boys say, 'A sh-jwer bath an.l an
automobile ride; oh, boy t isn't that
heaven." . . ,.
rc had some very eomp!imensr letters
from Red Cross headquarters about the
line of work we were doing, and I must
say. In spite of hard work and long hours,
we enjoyed It all. and I could write about
the service men, and our canteen workers
for the next month.
During the "Flu" we did great work at
the station, helping the sick, and the pa
rents of the boys who came here to see
their sons who were ill at the Army and
Nay hospitals; also outsiders. We have
always given Information and help to
eery one who asked for It. We were
amozed at ourselves when we found we
had given information to rive thousand
people between October and March; by
that I mean civilians.
Everyone at the L. A N. station did
everything in their power to help us. and
really seemed proud of the fact that they
had a Red Cross canteen there. Officer

"Gets-It" to remove corns in hard-to-get

on the corn, and dries immediately.
Instead of digging out the corn, you
peel it out painlessly. There' no
sticky plaster that doesn't Stay "put,
no salve that irritates or rub off.
You reach the' corn easily with tha
little glass rod in the cork of every
"Gets-It" bottle. It does not hurt tho
true flesh. Try it, trot and smile! It's
a blessing; never fails.
