tw MAY 1871 191? "Si" li I GET PRELIMINARY ORDERS Are Graduates of State Hospital School and Among City's Best Nurses. Three Scranton nurses, graduates of the State Hospital Training school, have been ordered to be in readiness to leave for France as Red Cross nurses within the next week. The three enrolled some time ago in the Red Cross passed all examinations and expressed the desire to start for the French front with the first hos pital unit to sail. They are they say, to do their bit for Uncle Sam in the fight he has entered to preserve the freedom of the world and to crush Prussian military menace. The three are: Miss Catherine Lavin, Miss Abbie London and Miss Florence Clark.

Miss Lavin's home is in Olyphant, Miss London and Miss Clark both reside in this city, wher they are engaged professionally. The three are among the best nurses in the city and passed with high marks in their school examinations and in the state examinations for registered nurses. All three graduated from the State hospital within the past three years. Miss Ida Arnold, superintendent of the State hospital, had a request from the war department several days ago for nurses ready to go to France and selected the three because they had expressed the wish to start for the front at the first opportunity. They may go as part of the Jefferson Medical college unit, but it is more likely they will go as part of a unit of the United States army.

The three nurses are now getting ready to start and have been notified to be In readiness immediately the word comes. Their papers have been sent to Washington and the sailing orders are expected today or tomor row. Wot Daunted by Sanger. The volunteering of these three Scranton nurses epeaks well for the patriotism of that profession in this city and for the devotion of the three to their profession which aims to alleviate human suffering. They are not daunted by the boat menace or any other danger and are allowing nothing to stand in the way of their answer to the call of duty and suffering.

They have hosts of friends here who will wish them Godspeed on their journey and who will pray day and night for their safe keeping in the war zone. I And to many war torn men, who have been battered by shot and shell, they will be as ministering angels in the war stricken land of France. Many other Scranton nurses have enrolled as Red Cross nurses and are ready to start for the front when needed. Among these is Miss May T. Hill, superintendent of the West Side hospital, who has also expressed a wish to start for France as soon as she can arrange her affairs here.

Miss Janet Grant, superintendent of the Moses Taylor hospital. Is at the head of the Red Cross nurse work here and is being assisted by Miss Arnold of the State 'hospital. AT THE FEBH Noonday Luncheons 30c, Adv. 40c 60s. FUNERAL SERVICES FOR MRS.

(Brand New Method; Works Like If agio) To have the superfluous hairs come out, roots and all, before one's very eyes, sounds almost too good to be true. Yet many thousands of women have proved to their own satisfaction that this can be accomDllshed eaxllv. in. stantly.

harmlessly by means of the wonderful phelactine process. mis memoa is not to be compared at all with any llauid nowder or naMt. nor with electrolysis or anything else. Nothing like it ever originated. It causes the hairs to come out entire roots included, leaving the a Win imnmh and hairless as a babe's.

Its action is so positive, so certain, every druggist sells phelactine under a money back guarantee. It is non odorous. non Ir rltatlng. non poisonous a child could safely eat It. Get a small stick of phelactine today, follow the simple instructions: you will have a most agreeable surprise.

Re drafting of food regulation pending in congress to meet the views of the ad. ministration was forecast today in the request of the senate agriculture committee that the house committee name a spb committee to assist it In drawing new bills. The administration program calls for three measures, ono to promote food production, another providing regulatory measuroa, and the third giving authority to Insure preferential shipments to food supplies. The first two bills are pending in the house and the third was introduced, today in both houses. The first house bill probably will be allowed to stand as it Is, but the second will be changed to give to tho president regulatory powers vested In the bill In the agriculture department.

The second bill also will authorize creation of an emergency food agency to operate under direction of the president Herbert C. Hoover, In all likelihood, wll bo filmed to head this board. i 1 1 I I fi I i I I 'J y' I i 1 FWB!
