HOW RED CROSS ACTIVITIES IN WAR
ARE BEING FINANCED.
The question often asked. how are
the activities of the Red Cross finan-
ced? All overhead expenses. in
Guiding salaries of the entire Red
Cross organization national head
quarters. division headquarters, To-
cal chapter. branches. auxiliaries)
are met by membership dues.
War relief is paid for out of the
Red Crosse war fund. No expenses
Of ADMINISTRATION in the United States
are paid out Of the war fund; every
dollar contributed for relief goes for
relief. The Red Cross war fund is
raised for war relief by voluntary
contributions OF all those whose
hearts have been touched and who
wish to help. The first war fund was
raised in June 1916. and amounted
to a little over q hundred million
dollars. The date of the second
war fund campaign has been set for
May 2O-27. when another hundred
million dollars will be raised. 1t
must be raised or the work of the
Red Cross which lie being constantly
augmented as our boys get closer
and closer to the clash of gigantic
battle, must suffer. Expenditures
OF the Red Cross war fund are made
only upon authority OF the Red Cross
War Council named by President
Wilson. When you contribute to
the war fund you do so with every
humanity possible assurance that
your money will 60 right where you
intended it to 60. OF the necessity
for helping the war fund. helping
until it hurts, those who have felt
the stab of war know. The pity of
it that these necessities are growing
every day. While q hundred million

The Joy of the Simple Life.

From the London Express
Every sensible man and woman to-
day is simple lifer There are so
many things which are difficult to
get. so many controllers are hem
ming US in with prohibitions that we
are making our lives simpler and
more simple every day. Curiously
enough, the large majority of US are
feeling all the better for it. We walk
where we once motored. and the ex-
ercise sets the stagnant blood in our
veins running with fresh vigor. We
eat less and digest more. So little
have we felt the deprivation that
most of US are declaring that for the
future it is to be the simpler life for
ever" There are, of course, some
who struggle in their absurd vanity
to keep the old life alive. Their time
is mainly spent in evading the orders
Of the food controller, or in discover
ing new sources of extravaganza
Some day they will realize their mis-
take and join the happy army of
simpler lifers." You cannot have
your cake and eat it. Our cake today
is victory in the great war for free
dom. truth and justice. That can
only be ours if we deny ourselves all
the other cakes we once loved so
much. The simpler lifer" is doing
his duty and that is why he is happy
His is the vision without which. as
Solomon told Us. 1.-The people perish"
