LONDON, April 4.-"Why Is the

Robertson, actor at meeting here to

there the working man is under the
thumb of his wife,
He added that in America the work

RED CROSS FIGHTS
DEADLY EPIDEMIC

Besides the special work conducted
by hundreds of Red Cross Chapters
throughout the country in checking
the recent epidemic of Spanish Influ-
enza, the organization through its
headquarters at Washington is prepar-
ing to fight repetition of the expert
ence that was so disastrous this fall,
educating the public thoroughly re-
garding the symptoms and the proper
care at the beginning Of an attack. In
addition to this, the American Red
Cross is fighting tuberculosis. The re-
cent appropriation to the National Tu-
berculosis Association will be used for
educational as well as relief work
throughout the country.
So much has been said about the
aftermath Of the epidemic that espe-
cial attention is being given to the
work along this line. The weakness
which follows influenza leaves the pa
tient in a condition which makes him
Z good field for the germs Of tubercu-
losis. A thorough physical examina-
ton. proper food and clothing, the use
Of mild preventives, will check the
progress Of the disease at once.

For several years the National Tu-
berculosis Association has been flnanc-
ing its work by the sale of Red Cross
seals at Christmas time The seals
sold for penny each and by making
a concerted effort enough money was
usually raised to carry the work
through the year. This year there will
be no seals sold because the American
Red Cross has made an appropriation
for the anti-tuberculosis work, and
those who formerly spent their time
selling seals will join in the work for
the Red Cross Christmas Roll Call
during the week Of December 16 to %.
