over which 1t may run. Incidentally it may be
mentioned that the railroads of the country are
nanfesting their appreciation of the valuable
and ,1istinterested work which the Red Cross is
loing in this sphere by hauling the first aid

The New First Aid Car

with carrying this first aid crusade
into the shops and mills and
throughout the railroad world, the
Red Cross has lately enlisted the
cooperation of the Boy Scouts of
America, and first aid instruction Is
being given to all of the youngsters
In this organization according to
plans and methods prepared by the
Red Cross.
Such are the demands upon IL
that first aid car cannot remain
for long at any given point. The
general plan adopted is to spend
about three days at each point Sc

kind is the placing in commission OF
q second hospital and school on
wheels known as first aid to the
injured car The object of this in
genious portable Red Cross head
quarters is to interest and instruct in
first aid work the railroad men and
other toilers OF the country. BY
means OF this car the Red Cross Will
be enabled to carry on much-needed
form of missionary work" and can
get in close touch, as it could by no
other method, with the workingmen
of 'the land who are in a position to
render the most valuable service as
volunteer Red Cross workers.
The first aid car which has lately
gone into commission is the second
or these cars TO be sent wandering
up and down the steel-tracked high
ways of the United States, but the
first one, which was introduced less
than q year ago, went forth with so
modest a heralding that the general
public heard little Of it or its work.
No sooner, however, had Car No. 1
entered upon the work Of giving in
struction in first aid to employees of
various railroad systems than it be-
came evident that a single car would
be insufficient to meet the demands
for this new service. Accordingly
second car was arranged for-an old
parlor car being purchased by the
Red Cross and rebuilt for this speci-
fic purpose. Henceforth the Red
Cross officials will be enabled to real
lie their dream to keep one of the
cars constantly In service on the
railroads west OF the Mississippi and
the other on the railway systems east
of the Mississippi.

THE MILK QUESTION.
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
was a visitor at the meeting In
the city hall July 81 called by the
health commissioner, DR.. Young, to
educate the people to the terms OF the
new milk ordinance which the city
council recently rejected. To put 1t
mildly, nobody was educated that day.
II seemed TO me as II the teachers
couldn't answer the simple questions
asked.
Now, as a producer-farmer, II you
wish--producing milk for the Chicago
market, think. like good many
more OF my occupation, that this or.
dinance has some very nice theories
about what is to be done with our
milk. But how about us farmers? Are
we going TO swallow the pill just as 1t
Is fixed for us?
/ believe we are the party OF the
first part in this transaction and when
the showdown is called for We will
answer "Here!" They tell us 1t Is a
fight for the poor babies. Do they
wish 10 rob the babies OF what little
milk they do get by sending up the
price? That result must surely follow
in the course OF events, Is there any
other solution?
Now, citizens OF Chicago, look be.

the poor stand for this wonderful
