never have a good complexion until
the blood is clean.
No matter how bad your COM

NE ED MORE TIN.

The Red Cross needs more tin-all
kinds land is planning countrywide
campaign to obtain IT, state council
organizations are asked to cooperate.
ne need for tin OF the negotiable
variety is not more pressing than
need for the metal itself The gov
eminent has discovered that there
will be a deficit Of 5000 tons Of tin
needed for war construction unless
that amount is salyaged from the tin
usually thrown away
For that reason the Red Cross has
undertaken the collection Of tin foil,
pewter and collapisible tubes and the
like on a larger scale than has here
olore been attempted
Local chapters will place baskets
and boxes in stores, hotel Hobbies and
public place, where articles contain
ing tin may be dropped The Junior
Red Cross and Boy Scouts will all
help with the collection, and persons
are asked to save and turn in all they
may have on hand or obtain in the
future
The Red Crosv chapter, when il has
collected enough material will pack
it in boxes or barrels ard sell it Ia
dealers IN tin foil FROM $3.50 to 81 soc
a ton, depending on the amount Of tin
contained in it. the proceeds a. g
10 the chapter itself. 1t Is estimated
tina, the Red Cross can realize over
