GOOD RESPONSE
FOR RED CROSS
Almost Unanimous Support
Accorded Workers in
MiShaWaka.

The Red Cross canvass in NIisha-
waka of the ladies' auxiliaries, is
meeting with almost unanimous sup
port in every home in the city. Es-
peciany is this true with the Bel
gian residents who are responding
to a man for the Red Cross which
has meant so much for the Belgian
people in Europe.
Local workers are impressing
upon the citizens that although the
war is ended the suffering is not
over. Many thousands of our boys
are in the hospitals with influenza
and convalescing from wounds. and
most of them viii not be back prob
ably before another year. The con-

too miserable to picture or compre-

Cross will never have another war
fund drive, and needs universal
membership this Christmas to finish
the job All it takes to join is a
heart and a dollar.
The factory roll calls in the city
are reported to be going strong. al
though many have yet to join before
Christmas eve. 1t is predicted that
in celebration of that event there
will be a Red Cross service flag in
every loyal home in the city. Many
homes already display the white
star in the center or the Red Cross.

portance Of keeping the blood free

the heart is constantly pumping this
vital fluid 10 all parts of the body
you can easily see that any impuri-

complications.
Any slight disorder or impurity
that creeps into the blood is a
source of danger, for every vital
organ of the body depends upon the
blood supply to properly perform
its functions.
Many painful and dangerous dis
eases are the direct result of a bad
