THE RED CROSS AND THE DIS
ABLED SOLDIER AND SAILOR

What is the Red Cross part in the
big national program for the recon-
struction of disabled soldiers and
sailors? With large casualty lists re-
ported daily and many disabled men
now returning from the European
fronts, the question is being asked on
all sides by interested Americans
A new Red Cross circular of in
struction, entitled Home Service and
the Disabled Soldier and Sailor" sum
marizes the Red Cross relationship to
the rehabilitation program as fol-
lows:
l. To bring solidly behind the dis
abled man, at all stages of the recon-
struction process, the moral support
of his family.
2. To assist the men, through the
competent legal advice at the COM
mand of chapter Home Service Sec
tons, to secure the benefits of the
/ War Risk Insurance Law and espe-
cially the provisions for compensa-
ton and insurance.
! 3. To urge upon disabled men and
wisdom and necessity of taking full
advantage of the governments plans
! for their care and training.
| 4. To encourage them in the early
and critical stages of their vocational
training and of their return 20 emf
ployment, when the struggle to over
come the mental and physical handi-
cap is most acute.
5. To bring about reasonable and
sympathetic attitude on the part OF
employers, which shall give every
handicapped man a real chance, while
avoiding the danger of tempting him
to forego the necessary training for
the attraction of an immediate, tenn
porary or perhaps unsuitable job.
6. To mold public opinion so that
it will frown upon trivial and demon
alizing entertainment and hero-wor-
ship, and maintain a constructive at
titude which, while maintaining a
square deal for the returned soldier
shall expect from him every reason
able effort to insure his self-support
7. To supply information, encour'
agement legal, medical and business
advice, when acceptable and neces-'
sary, just as is now being done fol
the families of men at the front.
A pretentious program, it is true
especially when it is taken into con
sideration that, on the basis of Can
adas experience, 100000 of each l.,
900. 900 men will come back each yea
permanently incapacitated for mill
tary duty.
But the American Red Cross, witt
its great financial resources, its 22,
100000 members, its 5000 chapter
and their $4,000 branches, Is bette
equipped than any other private or
ganlzation to give aid and comfort I,
our soldiers and sailors and to az

FOR WOMEN WHO WORRY

Worry and "the blues" are usually
linked together, and in many cases
are due to some functional derange-

to more serious ailments More out

few weeks treatment with that good
old-fashioned root and herb remedy,
