DOCTOR FOUNDER
 OF RED CROSS

The first to suggest the formation of a society to care for soldiers wounded in battle was Henri Durant, a French physician, who thus be- came famous as the originator of the Red Cross Society. Durant witnessed the battle of Solferino, fought 59 years ago today, June 24, 1859, and the horror and dispair with which he contemplated the terrible scenes of strife and carnage led him to write ''Un Souvenior de Solferino," which popularized the idea of such a so- ciety as now exists under the name of Red Cross. The book, published in 1862, had a profound and immediate effect, for in August, 1863, the Geneva convention instituted the Red Cross Society Austria, France, Great Brit ain, Italy Prussia, Russia, Spain, Sweden and several minor states, were represented in the first conven- tion, and the society has since been extended to all important countries. In Tureky it is known as the Red Crescent Society. The real work of the society was first brought into op- eration during the Franco-Prussian war. In the present conflict the inn portance of the Red Cross has in creased enormously and in every na- tion at war hundreds of millions of dollars are raised so that it may carry on it's efforts to care for those who are wounded on the battlefield. Be sides this, the work of the Red Cross has extended to the prison camps in the various countries, and through it's headquarters in Geneva prisoners are exchanged.

 % The further west I got the fewer seemed the meatless days. Heavens what chops! what steak! what bacon! what butter! And the smiles, and the good nature, and the willingness! No wonder they have been called, as re- member, in the words of a bright young lady, "A dear, delightful peo- ple."

Now Mrs. B, never had any doubt that she had three, but exquisite politeness she avoided point ing out my error too abruptly. Is it any wonder then that I feel uneasy about Ireland, when I see certain signs of the times? Is it too late still to take steps?

Home Health Club
Edited by DR. DAVID H. BREEDER, Chicago

Using substitutes: It surely has been a very gratifying surprise to many people to find that there are so many kinds of good, wholesome, nou- rishing and appetizing foods, easily obtainable or grown, of which they were entirely ignorant until the Unit ed States entered the World War.
 As a matter of fact, this is not the first time in the history of the world, in which wheat bread has been large ly eliminated from the diet of the peo- pie. Even in Bible times, we are told that during a fierce and protract- ed war the people were told how to save wheat by mixing other cereals with it; even beans and peas have been used to help make flour for the daily bread.
 In the case of my own family, we have always preferred the whole wheat nut bread made after the for mula given in the Home Health Club Book vol. 5, but we find that even this is just as good and at times thought it even better when rye, bar ley and corn flour are made to take the place of three-fourths of the whole wheat flour. There are few people that know the difference be- tween white wheat bread and that made from potato flour.
 In the past the Pure Food Depart ment at Washington has been very Jealous of any sort of food substi- tutes. Prosecutions have been many and severe and justly so because of the fact that the substitutes were not sold as such, but were sold as the real food which they closely initiate
 When any substitute was sold un- der a label plainly stating of what it was made, there could be no pen alty, but when harmful products were mixed with food the penalty should be severe. In one case that I re- member of many years ago, terra-alta or white earth, a finely powdered white clay, was mixed with fine white flour and thus sold at a good price
 The more fruits, nuts and veee. tables that are eaten with a cores bonding reduction in the quantity ot meat, the better for our soldier boy:

ENGLISH WOMEN
 BUY BIG SHOES

London, June 24-Women of Eng land are to have the privilege of pur- chasing shoes with leather tops more than seven inches in height for the first time in more than a year. But the Army Council has relented for only two months from June 1 and did so only then at the earnest appeal deputation of shop-keepers catering to those demanding the smartest things. After July 31 no more high shoes may be purchased for an indefinite period.
 The high style has not gripped England as it has America in recent months. The owners of the usual shoe stores have been little exercised by the order limiting tops to seven inches and did not display much in- terest when the ban was lifted. They stated that the average English wom- an, particularly at this time, wants sensible shoe and trade in those a foot or so high will be confined to ul- tra fashionable, lightweight produc- tiOnS

or allies and for our own good health, especially during the hot months of the year. Do not be afraid that you will lose strength by leaving off meat. If you are doing hard manual labor and want to prove the case, just leave meat out of your diet for a week and substitute three slices of well buttered rye bread and two glas- ses of buttermilk twice daily. Most men will enjoy such a change very much, and if they will make a daily strength test they will find their abil- ity and endurance greater, while they stand the heat much better.
 This morning I received from the Department of Agriculture a new food inspection decision about colors that may be used in food, and I find that quite a number are now permit ted after being found harmless. This will be of benefit to the dairymen as well as others in the desire to give an attractive appearance to their pro- ducts.

 The usual internal cures for freck- les contain arsenic, deadly poison. Do not take a bit of it. A harmless external lotion is the following, call ed Cream of Roses.
 Almond oil, ounces; Glycerine, ounces; Rose water, ounces; White wax, 1-2 ounce; Spermaceti, ounces; oil of roses, 30 grains.
 Any druggist should be able to make this for you. One-half or even one third of the above formula will prob ably be sufficient for your needs. Use it at night after washing the face thoroughly in warm soft water with a little good soap.

THE PATHOS OF IRELAND
 SOME RECENT IMPRESSIONS

they might" And as he rattled off to the hotel every man I saw looked different from the corresponding type in England. I will not say they were better or worse, but human nature seemed to lie thicker upon them. The little bare-footed gamin who was nearly run over retained presence of mind enough to shout, up de. Vale ria"' And the newsvendor was so ab- sorbed reading his paper that he let more than one client go by without noticing the rendered penny.
 A Hot Water Test. Yes, in Ireland there is certainly more human nature, whether for good or bad. Even the furniture can hard ly be called inanimate. I try to turn the lock of a door. I find that it has been put on upside down, but in response to my efforts at last the bolt shoots out with bang like pistol; I then discover that the catach on the other side has been set too low to catch at all.
 Al another place the apprentice deputyboots, whose stature indicated a boy of ten but whose gravity was that of a statesman, entered my room without knocking, and in response to my demand replied that he was looking for bottles" I told him that I had not spent the evening in that company, and ordered him to bring up water, hot, for shaving. He brought it in watering-can which he swung into the room with such inn petuous zeal that he discharged some of the contents over my feet as sat on the bed. "Is it hot?" he inquired anxiously. It was very hot, and am afraid I embellished my reply in the affirmative.
 '"Then I'll have it so," he responded gravely, satisfied that he had fulfill ed his mission.

'I beat you by a short nose!" The speaker was a sportive looking gen. tleman in a Burberry, and he uttered this remark just as I had appeared at the bureau of the hotel to ask for a room. He had got the last one available from which one of the ser vant-maids had been turned out.
 Anywhere else but in Limerick my fate would have been sad indeed, for the rain was falling steadily, and new gentlemen in Burberrys were arriving fast. It dawned on me that, as it was the day of the Limerick races, not a bed was available in the city, and I resigned myself to the prospect of wandering about all night in the downpour hoping that morning and breakfast would come. But the man ageress, piqued perhaps by the air of the sportive stranger, said, wait. a little, we will do our best for you"
 When I descended at Westland Row lugged my belongings to the sidecar, for the porters were busy elsewhere, talking politics, doubtless. The car driver smoked complacently on top of his jaunty turnout as I put up the traps. My heavy trunk I attempted to swing up with a long circular sweep, but I made a miscalculation and it fell heavily.
 ''Bedad, but you made a good sphring at it," said my Jehu cheer fully, and he helped my second ef- fort.
 A Sim Fein Jehu.
 I was in Ireland and I felt glad I have seen many hundred Jehus in many hundred lands. Any one of them might have aided me with a heavy trunk. But there is only one country where my Jehu would sit in judgment smoking a patient pipe as he observed my violent exertions, and yet save the situation, and more, by that indulgent flattery. "Bedad, but you made a good sphring at it," I could see at a glance that Jehu was Sim Feiner, but when I asked him how that party was progressing he answered with Machiavelian diplo- macy, for he had not yet summed me up: 'Bedad, some say they are sthronger than they ought to be, and others think they're not as sthrong as

Seamen in Trenches.

Keeping an eye open for the willy submarine is no reason why sea sol diers shouldn't get ready for life in the trenches, according to Sergt. J. G. Woo1ley of the United States ma rines, who had been given few days leave from a battleship.
 "Part of our dock looks like little bit of Flanders" says Woolley. "We have strung up six tough willow Boches with long center poles protrud- ing from each and operated from the rear. We use these dummies for bay onet practice and five days week we go over the top.' If the time comes for us to do our bit in the trenches, we'll be ready"

CLUB NOTES.

Dear Doctor: Please give me in- formation regarding my weight I am a girl 16 years of age and am 5 feet ? inches tall and weigh 125 pounds Am too fat or what should my weight be? Please tell me.
 E. s.
 (Answer). I should judge you to be a perfectly normal, healthy girl, and if at any time in the future you are inclined to take on more fat than you should, you can depend upon it that you are eating too much food for one thing, and that you should cut down to at least half on bread, potatoes and sweets. What ever you may do, beg of you, do not take any sort of anti-fat remedy, as it is quite certain to do you harm.
 Dear Doctor: I am going to write you few lines and ask you what I should do to get rid of my freckles. My face is all full of them, but I should like to get rid of them this summer. E. S.. (Answer.) This letter was evident | ly written by Q dear little girl just about entering her teens. Little girl, I would not worry about those freck- les if I were you. I once knew a young woman that had lots of freck- les and red hair. Her features were not of the beautiful sort but her health was fine and she had such a glad, winning smile, I never saw a frown on her face and she was always happy and full of fun. I watched her l 6aUolnnTnonf from eriV irfo young woman. Her character stood out strong and clear. Every one that knew her loved her and she never | lacked for admirers. I had lost track l of her for the past three years, but re- I gently I heard indirectly from a boy that was lively golf caddy where l played golf about eight years ago. The message said that he was wound ed while in the front trenches on the battle-fields of France; although several years younger than the freckle | faced girl, he went to the same school and as her face was one to remem- Der, he did not forget. For several | days after being brought to the hos pital, he had a dim idea of being tenderly cared for by gentle, friendly hands, of a face bending over him | Ihdl ne hHeW AL last ne asked her where she was from and was so dis appointed when she named the state from which she enlisted as a nurse. He could not remember her name, but finally he told her how much she was like his old schoolmate back in Indiana and asked her name. Little girl, you can imagine how happy they were as they talked over the old school days. Freckles are the result of the blessed sunshine and Gods pure, outdoor air. They have noth-
