The AMERICAN RED Cross
BY FREDERIC ! HASKIN

with the Gold Cross OF Baden and the
Iron Cross OF Germany. IL was through
her efforts that the American Red
Cross OF today was organized In 1881
and she remained It's active president
until 1904
The International Red Cross acts
under the only universal conserya-
ton treaty in existence. One after
another all the nations OF the earth
have signed the revised agreement OF
1906 and its operations have since
been extended TO naval warfare by the
terms OF the Treaty OF The Hague
Among the last nations TO recognize
the beneticent purposes OF the Red
Cross were the Asiatics. but during
the bloody Russo Japanese struggle
the Mikado's men proved 10 be among
the best organized body OF relief work
ers In the world. The Japanese Red
Cross organization today has l ,522 900
members and In spite OF the frightful
inroads made upon the countrys re-
sources by the war the annual Red
Cross revenue in 1909 was $4,000, 900.
Nor did they allow the strain OF the
war to deplete the permanent fund by
a single yen. This fund now exceeds
S5,OOO.O00 and IL is expected that Ii
Will he increased To $500, 900 by 1913.
Since the American Red Cross was
reorganized In 1906 President William
II. Taft has annually been elected ~
list chief executive. Its accounts are
audited by the war department and the
chairman and five members of the
central committee are representatives
from the departments OF state. treas
ury, war. justice and navy.
The work OF the American Red
Cross is divided into three depart
ments-war, national and internation-
Ell relief. The war relief board has
In Its possession complete list or
every coastwise vessel suitable for a
hospital ship. so that it can be char.
tered at a moments notice With
this list there are accurate specifca-
tons and estimates OF cost for equip
ping these ships for hospital service.
With equal thoroughness the study OF
civil hospitals. ambulances, private
automobiles and kindred subjects Is
being carried on SO that in time OF
war there Will he no danger OF unpre.
paredness in any emergency. Upon
this same department devolves the re-
/ sponsibilty OF organizing courses for
! 'first-aid" instruction throughout the
country, not only for wartime pur-
/ poses but for mine disasters railroad
wrecks and similar emergencies.
The board of national relief looks
after relief work following great ma
! tional disasters, such as the San Fan
! cisco earthquake. the JohnstOwn
/ food and the Galveston storm. The
/ international relief lends a helping
/ hand TO other nations In times of ar
| Fiction such as the Mt. Pelee erup-
! ton. the Messina earthquake. and the
/ famines OF India and Russia.
| In recent years the Red Cross has
been so systematic and thorough In
its distribution OF supplies and money
, in times OF disorder and confusion
which invariable follow cataetrophies
that most disbursements OF relief
funds are now made through its repre-
sentatives.

ADVERTISING TALK.

truth about its circulation and
charging everybody rate that is
never questioned.
Mr.. Quinn and Mr.. Auer had a
heart-to-heart talk over the adver-
Using proposition. Mr.. Quinn
did not know just exactly how %
proceed, but Mr.. Auer, having
lived in the community all his
life. knew pretty we'll the senti-
ment Of the people, and advised
Mr.. Quinn how to proceed with
his advertising-more than that,
he helped him with the prepare
ton of his copy.
His plan involved the adver-
Using OF STORE INTEGRITY,
STORE SERVICE of the SUI
perior sort, and giving THOR
lOUGH SATISFACTION to pur-
chasers.
The advertising covered every
phase of these three cardinal
principles. Every advertisement
made 1t plain that Mr.. Quinn
wanted to give his customers
dollars worth for dollar; that
HE STOOD READY TO
MAKE GOOD anything he sold
| if it didn't turn out to be as he
represented it. 1t was, therefore,
easy for him, within very short
time, to build up fine business.
The business is still growing. He
has been there row two years and
half and his store is better
known than almost any other in
town. The business has grown
from nothing up to first place,
and this has been accomplished
in the face of the strongest kind
Of competition. The success Of
his business is due. as his COM
petitors realize. to his good adver-
Using. and some day they. too.
will get into the newspapers and
do business along the same lines.
Honest advertising in any COM
munity creates other honest ad-
vertising. and the queer part OF it
is that each house doing it pros
pers, no matter how many COM
petitors there are in the field.
If all drug stores were to ad-
vertise as Mr.. Quinn does they
would prosper proportionately.
