So much has been said about the
aftermath of the epidemic that espe-

work along this line. The weakness
which follows influenza leaves the pa

q good field for the germs Of tubercu-

of mild preventives, will check the
progress of the disease at once.

a concerted effort enough money was

The things they made, which car-
ried a message of love from the women
of this country, quite apart from their
great money value, went from thelr
work -pooms on great adventures. They
have gone into front line trenches, to
emergency hospitals in foreign villages
and into the most modern operating
rooms. They have wrapped lost and
frightened children In warmth and
sheltered aged refugees from the cold;
They have gore overseas into strange
and sad places into Russia and Ser
bia and Palestine and Italy and
France. They have gone into our own
huge environments for our own young
soldiers.
The Department Of Nursing Of the
American Red Cross is the great re:

the sight of a woman who looks like
your mother-with her little cap d

lock of hair Strengthened out of curl,
tust like mother used to have hers
come when she was hurrying too hard
that's the thing that makes q fellow
glad he happened to be with this par
ticular bunch. And when that woman
says, Here, son, have another piece oi
piep it goes right through your heart
and makes you feel that If you eVei
do get back to the old U. s. A. again

you'll remember to say the kind things
