RED CROSS FIGHTS
DEADLY EPIDEMIC

Besides the special work conducted
by hundreds of Red Cross Chapters
throughout The country in checking
the recent epidemic Of Spanish 1nfiu.
the organization through ite
headquarters at Washington is prepar.
ing to fight a repetition of the expert.
ence that was so disastrous this fall,
educating the. public thoroughly re-
garding the symptoms and the proper
care at the beginning Of an attack. In
addition to this, the American Red
Cross is fighting tuberculosis. The r {.
cent appropriation to the National Tu'
berculosis Association will be used fol
educational as well as relief work
throughout the country.
So much has been said about the
aftermath of the epidemic that espe'
cial attention Is being given to the
work along this line. The weakness
which follows Influenza leaves the pa.
tient in a condition which makes him
q good field for the germs of tubercu'
losis. A thorough physical examina.
ton, proper food and clothing, the use
of mild ~preventives, will check the
progress of the disease at once.
tuberculosis, or consumption, as II
II frequently called, is both preventa'
BILE and durable, provided the treat
ment Of the disease is begun before II
is too far advanced. Medicine plays q
comparatively small part. The fire.
uuently advertised Consumption
cures" should be looked upon as poi
son. The only medicine which should
be taken is a good tonic which will
stimulate the appetite and build up
the system generally. The main cure
lies in proper food, sufficient rest,
fresh air and sunlight and living, II
possible. according to the plan pre-.
scribed by a good physician. This re.
news the patients vitality and soon
kills the disease entirely.
For several years the National Tu.
berculosis Association has been financ.
ing its work by the sale Of Red Cross
seals at Christmas time. The seals
sold for a penny each and by making
q concerted effort enough money waa
usually raised to carry the work
through the year. Tbs year there will
be no seals sold because the American
Red Cross has made an appropriation
for the anti-tuberculosis work, and
those who formerly spent their time
selling seals will join In the work for
the Red Cross Christmas Roll Call
during the week of December l6 to q.

II don't like to ask it. I know that

Il 1t is possible"
"How about it, Miss Cow? You're
the one to say" The divisional secre-
tary turned to the woman in the mo-
tor transport uniform.
"Why certainly, lieutenant. If you're
not afraid to trust me. I've never
driven a Fiat truck, or any car as

"Ill take It'll" The lieutenant's

So Miss Ella Cow, a Scottish WON.

She came driving up the hill into

"She works q little hard, lieutenant"
Miss Cow told the officer. "You have

The lieutenant tried to shove her
He couldn't. He pushed and painted

RED CROSS SANTA TO
FILL SOLDIERS SOCKS
An Old Fashioned Celebration of
YuIetide for American
Soldiers in France.

A Christmas tree in every ward Of
every American hospital and in every
hospital recreation hut in France!
Every wounded or sick American
fighting man to receive two socks filed
to the brim" with fruits, nuts, candy,
and smokes!
These are the most interesting fea-
lures Of a tentative Christmas celebra-
ton program for the American hos
pitfalls arranged by the American Red
Cross in France in cooperation with
the commanding officers of our fighting
forces in that country. Details Of the
plan to make Christmas as merry AZ
possible for the soldiers in these insti-
tutions have just been received at Red
Cross headquarters. Nurses and enlist
ed men on duty at these places will
also share in the distribution Of Christ
mas cheer. Because Of the limited
amount of available shipping space
the Red Cross al compelled to aban-
don its original plan to send special
Christmas parcels from here to soldier
patients in France. All the articles
distributed will be obtained over there.
This is to be an old fashioned cele-
bration in every sense of the word
Every soldier will hang his socks on
the tree. The socks will be tied with
red ribbon and in addition to the good
les mentioned above will contain .
handkerchief and a card, on which
will be outlined the services the Amer
lean Red Cross is prepared to render
our soldiers. Each soldier will re-
ceive q sufficient number Of Christmas
postcards-now being designed by art
lists in the Red Cross service-to n
able him to write to members of his
family and his friends back home.
The Christmas dinner, Of course, will
be one of the features of the celebra-
ton. After dinner there will be-
musical entertainment, motion pic
lures and general singing.

"Just to show you the difference be-
tween Americans and Germans. I've
seen II American hold off five and
six Germans with a rifle, and I had a
man in my platoon. who, after being
wounded himself, brought in thirteen
prisoners single-handed." -.
Burt H. Daley of st. Clairsville,
o., who was wounded by Il machine
gun bullet in the hip, in fighting around
Thiaucourt, also told of close fight
ing. He said his platoon took
many prisoners, the Germans prefer
ring to surrender rather than try
to stand up to the Americans in hand
tO-hand combat.
Surrounded by Germans because
the American advance in the Cham
payne had been too rapid, a regiment
to which William Robert Smoker, $40
May street, Philadelphia, was at
tached, fought its way through the
enemy Gordon and took prisoners.
Smoker, injured later by shrapnel in
the fright leg, told how his regiment
shortly returned to the attack and
advanced three miles. For their
bravery Smoker said the entire regi.
ment was awarded the French foura-
gere.

o Bells Of Christmastide, begin!
The swords are sheathed, the guns
are still;
Ring when the midnight hour is in,
The angels song above the hill.
Ring for the captive's glad release,
The gates swung wide forevermore;
Ring the shining word Of peace
Flashed in the dark from shore to
shore.
Ring for the hearths that shall be
whole,
Ring for the tears that shall be
dried,
Ring for each happy, trembling soul,
o bells Of Christmsstide!
