DON'T DELAY GIFT TO WAR WORK FUND. Day and Half Left for Raleigh To Raise $12,000 Subscriptions To War Work Fund Yesterday Reached $38,000 COLORED PEOPLE CONTRIBUTE $2,000 Much Hard Work Ahead or Will Lose Its Record With only a small percentage of the workers reporting at the luncheon meeting yesterday, enough additional subto the United War Work scriptions fund were turned in to run the grand total for the drive up to $38,610 Between today and tomorrow night, when the extended date of the campaign expires, the Raleigh committee hopes to secure enough additional subscriptions to report the city well beyond over scription. At the meeting yesterday, Dr. John B. Wright, chairman of the city, made an earnest appeal to all the canvassers to multiply their efforts during the remaining hours of the drive and try to Raleigh in a class with other North put CaroNna cities that have well oversubscribed their allotments.

The city must yet report subscriptions of approximately $12,000 to reach the fifty per cent oversubscription the National committee has asked it to make. reported yesterday inSubseriptions $721 from the railroads; $1,000, from Peace institute; city; $280.50, from the Women's $2,052 from the colored people cothe mittee, and $10, from the Salvation Army post. Total, subscriptions for the day amounted $4,307.50. The $1,000 raised by the students and faculty of Peace Institute was more than three times in excess of the amount apportioned to the institution. The subscriptions reported by the colored people are exclusive of the money that has been given by colored workmen through the various manufacturing plants of the eity and reported by committees that canvassed these.

Much hard work is yet to be done and many people will be called upon to increase, their Raleigh original is to pass subseriptions the to 000 goal. It is hardly conceivable to the executive committee that this city, which in every campaign since the beginning of the war has gone "away over the top," is going to fall down now when it is asked to give money that the boys may be brought back "as good as they were when you sent them away." The campaign, over the nation will officially midnight tomorrow. All workers are asked to meet for luncheon at the Y. M. C.

Expresses Appreciation In expressing its appreciation of the excellent work now being done in Wake county by Captain C. E. Waller to improve the health of the community, the Woman's Club yesterday, through its executive board, called off all meetings of the elub until December 5 or later if Captain Waller deems it necessary. The women of Raleigh have shown unusual interest in the health work of the city and county, and members of the Woman's Club as well as other organizations have co-operated in every respect with the health officials, The executive board of the club yesterday endorsed the work of Captain Waller and went on record as standing solidly behind him in all his health improvement. The action of the club in closing all gatherings until December 5 was voluntary on its part.

There has been no new ban placed on public gatherings and the helath department has. 211- nounced it will not advise that any more closing orders be adopted by the commissioners or auy one elge. If places are closed, they must be done voluntarily or by the city authorities, Voluntary precautions, it is pointed out, will do more to check the influenza than anything else. Places may remain open but people may not go into then if they want to keep away from influenza. It is up to the people to stay at home, if they wish to avoid illness, it is said.

The best possible throw of the dice is to throw them into the sewer. CITY LAW AGAINST UNDUE CROWDING Commissioners Take Action To.

of The Associated -War has not calloused or dulled the sensibilities of the American army surgeon. Nothing stands out finer or nobler than the tender care and earnest solicitude with which American military doctors handle their soldier patients. In a three-day trip through the Saint Mihiel sector the correspondent of The Associated Press had many opportunities of observing the work of can medical men. He visited a number of field dressing stations and also several hospitals just back of the battleline, through which hundreds of wounded Americans were passing. Disabled American soldiers, from the time their wounds are dressed at the advance casualty station to the time they arrive at the last base hospital, receive the most sympathetic and tender care at the hands of the army doctors.

They get better care and more attentive treatment than an average person would in peace times. To render the soldier free from pain, to make him comfortable, to cheer his spirit, the American military doctor will exhaust every recourse, will sacrifice sleep and food and all personal thought of himself. Thousands of instances occur every day where army physicians, so absorbed and so sympathetically interested in their patients, will keep night after night an anxious and unbroken vigil over the progress of their condition, and will rest only when ordered to do so by a superior officer. Besides the use of anaesthetics the Yankee doctor, caring for his fighting comrade only as he would care for 8 brother, resorts to a hundred other means of relieving the wounded man's distress. In the actual battle zone he has to act as physician and nurse, for 110 women are permitted in the front lines.

It is always impressive to see the gentle, cautious way he places his patients in bed, the infinite pains he takes to cause them suffering as possible when applying or removing dressings, and how kindly and reassuringly he speaks to them. The ambulance drivers and stretcherbearers spare no pains to see that the sick and wounded in transit from the front over broken French roads suffer 110 hardship or discomfort.

Announcement made last night by the United States Public Health Service that it has received the serum to inoculate against attack from Spanish influenza will bring joy that knows no bounds to men, women and children throughout the country. It has not yet obtained rank along with other as a sure preventive but the order of the Public Health Service, received by the local bureau last night, to make it available is evidence that the federal health officials think well of it. It can be obtained without cost at the City Health Department beginning this morning. The offices are in the basement of the Wake county courthouse and Captain C. E.

Waller is in charge. While the new serum has not been used enough to justify any claims for yet the experiments conducted in the laboratories of the Public Health Service, where it was developed, have led the medical authorities to believe that they have found a serum that will ward off influenza in any form. The serum has been developed along the same lines as the anti-typhoid and paratyphoid serums, being killed cultured organisms washed from the culture mediums and treated in a salt solution. Experiments have been made with monkeys, rabbits and other small animals. Like the typhoid dose, the serum is given in three applications and can be taken daily until all three inoculations have been made.

The after effect, such as nausea and sore arms, is not as noticeable as in the case of most of the other serums on the market as preventatives. While it lasts, it is free but it's "shop early" season. TWO BOYS ARE HELD FOR INVESTIGATION Arrested in Country When They Tried To Sell Auto at Cheap Price Fred Sells and Robert Dickerson, two young white boys who stated they are from Long Island, were arrested yesterday in the country about 12 miles southeast of Raleigh for investigation in connection with the larceny of an auto in Petersburg, last week. The two young men were arrested when they offered to sell a high-priced car to a farmer for $200. Word was received here several days ago that two men had stolen an auto in Petersburg and were headed this way.

The Raleigh police were asked to aid in locating the stolen car. Yesterday, county officials received information that two young men were in the Garner section of the county trying to dispose of an auto at a cheap Chief Barbour, Detective Crabtree and Deputy Sheriff's Ernest Raines and Roy Hunnicutt went to the scene. They found Sells nad Dickerson picking cotton for a farmer but the auto was gone.

LANDS FOR SOLDIERS. Scheme of Rewards About Which There Are Two Opinions. Oregonian. The general program for placing returned soldiers upon the land at the close of the war, so far as it counts on hearty co-operation of the men themselves just because they have "learned to love the life in the open," probably will run into difficulties if it does not take account also of two other factorsthe intensely gregarious nature of life in the service and the habit of the soldier to share responsibility with those higher in command. It is one thing to love a free, open life in the society of many companions, and quite another to isolate oneself on a farm in a new country, or, what is still more lonesome, to herd sheep.

Still, it is noticeable that the theorists have not been taking much account of the development of the social instinet along with the appetite for ozone. Sheep raising, indeed, has been one of the pet hobbies of certain individuals who are studying the problem of what do with our war cripples. It is open to question whether any great number of our men will care to isolate themselves from human society, especially during the depressing period of physical reconstruction. A solution may be found, however, in rearrangement of the farm dwelling plan, a scheme which has received recognition in the writing of Department of Agriculture specialists, which represents an adaptation of Euroauthe pean rural village to American needs. The simplest form is the building of four farm homes on adjoining corners; an elaboration of this is the construetion of farm villages, each farmer owning a home lot but conducting his principal farming operations at some distance.

This plan facilitates co-operation, such as the construction of community blacksmith shops, grist mills, and similar enterprises, and permits any desired amount united social effort. It is particularly desirable from the point of view of industrial co-operation, such as has been suggested. Good roads, the telephone and rural free delivery have done much to meet the social demands of the time, and the automobile has facilitated communication among neighbors, but even these are likely not to be enough to attract men who have become accustomed to living in crowds. Solitude is not for folks in the prime of life. One of the impelling features of the "forty-acresand-a-mule" promise was the mule, who was thrown in for "company." The framers of any scheme to make agriculture popular among soldiers as 3 class will do well to bear this in mind.

The social a8 well as the economic side ought to be made attractive. Make Your Selection NOW! This is the Time to Make Your Selection of a Piano or Player Piano Our Stock is Complete.
