RED CROSS FIGHTS
DEADLY EPIDEMIC

Besides the special work conducted
by hundreds of Red Cross Char rs

headquarters at Washington is prepar-

care at the beginning of an attack. In
addition to this, the American Red
Cross is fighting tuberculosis. The re-
cent appropriation to the National Tu-
berculosis Association will be used for
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

sold for penny each and by making

usually raised to carry the work

be no seals sold because the American

TO MAKE THE PARAsoL BAG
oontrlvance 10 Roomy, Easily Spread
Open and Very Beautiful-YelIow
Lining for Black.

If you have a handsome parasol be-
ginning to show wear at the center Of
the top, carefully remove the silk from
the frame and cut out circle inches
in diameter.
From new silk, in a shade to match
the predominating color, cut two cir
cles Z inches in diameter, placing
pasteboard between these. Fit this in
to the opening made In the center OF
the parasol, this forming the bottom Of
bag.
At the points Of parasol sew rings
covered with single crochet stitch.
Through rings draw silk cord, finishing
with large tassels and also place tas-
sells at bottom of bag.
This bng is roomy, easily spread
open and very beautiful. II silk is
thin from wear, lining can easily be
added, using a section Of -parasol fol
pattern.
A black parasol lined with bright yea'
low with black cord and tassels would
be very effective. A bunch Of yellow
silk oranges could be added.

RED CROSS SANTA TO
FILL Sc DIERS' SOCKS
An Old Fastio led Celebration of
YuIetide f)r 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 filled
to the brim with fruits, nuts. candy
and smokes!
These are the most interesting fea-
lures of tentative christmas celebra-
tion 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 as
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 was 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 a
handkerchief and card, on which
will be outlined the services the Amer
lean Red Cross is prepared TO render
our soldiers. Each soldier will re.
ceive a sufficient number of Christmas
postcards-now being designed by art
lists in the Red Cross service-to en-
able him to write to members of his
| family and his friends back home.
The Christmas dinner, of course. VIII
| be one of the features of the celebra
| ton. After dinner there will be
musical entertainment, motion pic
lures and general singing.

LOVE NOR MONEY WON'T
BUY EXTRA BUTTER IN
The DENVER HOTELS
FARMERS ASKED TO SAVE As
MUCH AS CITY FOLKS ARE
COMPELLED TO CON.
SERVE

THE scarcest food article in the
world today is butter.
Five dollars will not buy an extra
piece Of butter in Denver restaurants
The half-ounce per person per meal
serving of butter permitted in the res
taurants and hotels of Colorado is the
absolute limit That limit is set BY
necessity. 1t may be further reduced.
In the homes, if greater butter and
other fat saving is not effected, there
will be nothing left for the Food Ad-
ministration to do but to introduce
some restricted rationing system.
Mr.. Hoover's pledge Of 2.600, ,00S
tons OF meats and fats for Europe
must b met"
This 10 the concise statement Of the
butter situation in Colorado issued BY
Robert j. Grant, executive manager
Of the state food administration.
That the food administration is
strictly enforcing the existing regula-
tions on butter and cheese, is shown
BY the records of informal hearings
given Denver restaurant men last
week who violated these rulings.
Even II consumers butter cards
should be issued to curtail the state
consumption Of butter, these cards
would not effect the use OF butter BY
farmers who produce their own cream
cry products. The Food Administra
ti0n therefore will make special ap
peal to farmers to save voluntarily on
their own abundant tables, just as city
people are arbitrarily restricted In the
use Of butter and cheese.

COMFORTS, SMILES AND CAKE

Thus Every Red Cross Canteen Becomes Bit Of Homo

most of all.
Many well known names are on the
lists of canteen workers, for Amerl-
can women were quick to seize the op-
portunity for service. The poorest
soldier on his leave may be served BY
an American woman whose hospitality
was formerly dealt out by her maids
and butlers-and whose guest lists in
cluded only the most fashionable
names in the social register. Now 1t
is she who hands over the pie with
/ her own hands and then gathers up
the dishes-yes, and oftentimes washes
them when help is scarce, for they
have to be washed and made ready
for the next lot of soldiers-and one
cannot disappoint the boys who are
never too tired to respond to the call
of duty.
Another part of the canteen service
is the "store," where the soldiers are
supplied with their needs, where
things they have lost in the heat OF
battle are replaced, tooth paste hand
ed out, razor blades, towels, tooth
brushes, all sorts Of things, not forget
ting the post cards to send home and
the ever wanted packages OF cigar
cites.
Taking it all in all, the canteen does
far more than fill the stomachs OF the
men-it puts something worth while
into their hearts.

American women are working IN

knitted articles, hospital and refugee
garments-Or working ar volunteers,
subject to any call day or night, AT 500
