PURPOSE OF RED CROSS,
Objects of Great Humanitarian Or
ganization Set Forth in Charter.

Section of the congressional char
ter issued to the American Red Cross
Society specifies that the purposes of
the corporation are and shall be-:
/. To furnish volunteer aid to the
sick and wounded Of armies in time of
war, in accordance with the treaty of
the Red Cross, or the treaty of
Geneva to which the United States
gave it's adhesion March 1, 1882.
2. And for said purposes to per-
form all the duties devolved on a
national society by each nation which
has acceded to said treaty.
3. To succeed to all rights and
property and duties which have here
tofore belonged to the A. N. R. c.,
which body was dissolved by this act.
4. To act in matters of voluntary
relief as medium of communication
between the people Of the United
States and their army and navy.
5. And to continue and carry on a
system of national and international
relief in time Of peace and to apply
the same in mitigating the sufferings
caused by pestilence, famine, fire,
floods, and other national calamities,
and to devise and carry on measures
for preventing the same.
The fifth number of section 8 is to
be studied more carefully than the
other numbers, because it shows that
the duties of the Red Cross are con-
tinuous. When the war is over, think
of the multitudes that will need the
help of the association. There will
be the two extremes of life: people
who are too old to care entirely for
themselves, and the young children
who will be left alone.
The above wording is slightly alb
breviated by the exception Of some
of the verbiage in the original charter,
but it is not changed in meaning.

Perhaps the most distinguished SER

539 stars; two Of them are Of gold

lives in the service. This school is
conspicuous for the number. Of it's pu-

"The Clever Mrs. Carfax."

Julian Eltinge in his second screen
appearance may be SAID to be even
more successful than he was in the
first-and "The Countess Charming"
was good picture. "The Clever Mrs.
Carfax," in which the famous female
impersonator will be seen at the
Grand Sunday, has clever plot, and
what is better it has real drama, with
a measure of comedy. It is rare
example of a story being written
around a certain player and being cut
to fit his measure. The director has
giyen full effect to the surprises in
the course of the play, and these null
tiply toward the end.

Stomach Troubles.

If you have trouble with your

tablets and their cost is so little; 70
cents, that it is worth, while to give
them a trial. (Adv.)

Jewel Carmen makes her debut as a

will be shown at the Grand next Fri
day. The play has its setting in the

It tells an absorbing story, replete
