Ing to know that this first epidemic

Spain. Since that time there have
been numerous epidemics Of the dis

was another hare-up OF the disease.
Both times the epidemic spread wide

man Frank Downs are to the effect
shat a large sale Of stamps is being
made in every district in the county
Especially is this true in The city Of
Washb' IN where City Chairman Gray
Thompson and corps Of assistants are
at work in every ward. A thorough
canvass Of the city is being made and
the work in the schools is being well
taken care of by superintendent
Hyper and his force Of teachers and
assistants.
Besides aiding the governmnt, the
Thrift and War Savings stamps offer
every individual great opportunity
to begin saving. The stamps come III
such denominations that any child can
pay for them. The Thrift stamps
can be purchased at Is cents each and
when the Thrift card has been filled
it can be exchanged at any bank or
post office for the war savings stamp
by paving the amount set forth on the
card which amounts to from u cents
10 % cents, depending upon the month
when the exchange is made
War savings bear interest at the
rate Of 40 compounded, which makes

AMOS WI. HANSEN
To Look After Them

Parents who have thought of
prison life in Germany as per-
haps the worst experience that
could befall their sons in the
American army will find in the
service that the American Red
has provided to supply prisoners
with food further proof Of the
great value Of this organization.
The plan briefly is this. The
American Red Cross committee
stationed in Berne, Switzerland
will send each American prison
er three ten-pound packages Of
food every two weeks. Already
enough supplies are in Switzer-
land or on their way there to
care for 10000 American prison,
ers for period Of six months,
Naturally General Pershipg is
not planning to let the Germans
capture that many American
soldiers, but the Red Cross is
Measuring the prospects by
what has happened to the French
and English in gigantic engage
ments when both sides lose
heavily.
This same Red Gross bureau
will be the sole agency licensed
by the War Trade Board to
transmit money to American
and Allied prisoners in Germany.
The German government never
yet has had occasion to doubt
the good faith Of the American
Red Cross, so that it's relief
plans are certain OF execution.
Stories about the starvation
Of prisoners in Germany have
been printed SO frequently in
this country that many parents
will consider the Red Gross
plan worth all the money they
have contributed to it if il did
not attempt any other form Of
relief work. The kind and
amount of food to be sent every
two weeks to each American
prisoner will be determined by
expert dietitlans.
