the disease. We al think OF. Whenever
a Red Cross stamp is sold-t1lbercn-
losis or consumption, YOu know con-
sumo means to eat or use nip : so con
sume-Cion Tor consumption. as we call
ia eats up the body. And to stop this
terrible thing from spreading among
our people. We must first be good
enough scouts to show them how 10 be
clean. Soap ana water are pretty good
friends and the. more chummy we be-
come with them the less disease we.
shall have. 49,. -: .".%:"....
There was OlCe a Young doctor i'll
California who found a poor thin man
coughing himself TO pieces. and sleep
ing at night in filthy old shed This
shed was in a lonely place, standing
all by itself; so, after carrying the
sick man to the county hospital, the
doctor returned to the shack
in the evening and touched a match
to ii. The next morning there was
no shed, neither was there any dis
ease nor dirt Nobody knew, for a
long time, the truth about the fire,
but the doctor. afterwards told his
friends that there was only one way
to clean out disease, and that was to
commence at the bottom of things
He knew this old shed had been the
home of some robbers. and that plen-
ty of drunken men had slept in it, and
that it was full of bugs and troubles.
So he got rid OF them all in very
quick way. ."... III -.
But we cannot get rid of all such
places in that way, for we should be
arrested wikiwiki. And besides, be-
ing scouts, we cannot destroy other
peoples sheds But-we can white
wash and scrub and keep clean these
places, There are many old shacks
about town that ought to be white
washed inside and out, and then may
be the sick people that live there
would grow better. But the trouble
is lots of them don't read English and
don't learn to keep their windows open
and their walls and floors and mat
tresses clean. They sit about in wet
clothes after swimming in Nuuanu
stream (fresh water being worse than
salt, and eaten cold, and then don't
cure the cold. Then there's pililia,
and after a few months maybe it's
Leahi home-a beautiful place, but
who wants to go there?
OF course, Red Cross stands for
many fine good turns'-not only |
here but on the war front, in trains, |
boats, camps and hospitals. 1t means |
relief from pain; it means a good
stout handage on your wounded arm; |
it means a glass of cold water when |
you're burning with fever, or cup of |
hot coffee when you're freezing in the
snow. 1t means kind English nurses
or American nurses or Japanese
nurses: or it means French or Ger
man nurses That part doesn't matter |
because in relieving pain we never
stop to ask. Are you Turk or a I
Chinaman @.@
Now, who wants red marks this |
week? What scout can help make
good when he hears the CHEEKY Scotch /
of Mr.. Andersen urging on his help I
ers in the region of Fort street? Or
again. who can stop working, at the
jolly laugh of Mr.. Crane, as he and
Mr.. Haehnlen carry in their automo-
biles, ever the scattered districts OF
Waikiki and Kaimuki. the little boys
who have so much distance to cover? T
No young fellow with good blood in
his veins can refuse to work with
such dandy leaders as these two
And With the ether scoutmasters it F
IS Just the same-all enthusiastic, all
for god, all anxious to see
Tie troops of Honolulu make a rec
ord that will go down in history.
While you older boys are doing the
business offices in town and are be
ing offered an eagle gold piece here
and there for keeps, in exchange
for &c stamp, the little fellows rum
ming through the factories in Queen
street or the shops in Chinatown or +
The simple homes in Kakaako, will be
doing well to get rid of 10 stamps to-
each man or woman, for &c each It's
