which includes what may be termed
eleven commandments" As these
commandments" typify the spirit In
which this type Of Red Cross relief 10
given, l am stating them here, leav-
Ing the reader to draw his own con-
clusions.
l. Don't overwhelm people with
questions before they have a chance
to say what they want to say.
2. Don't suggest to them the an.
swers they should make.
3. Don't forget that their hopes
and plans are more important than
any single fact that the Home Service
worker wants in order to make COM
plete report or record.
4. Don't encourage the children to
talk about things that concern their
elders-about family difficulties and
80 on.
5. Don't let the children come to
the Office with messages and requests
except when there is real emergency
and no older person can possibly
come.
6. Don't discuss the affairs of
family, nor tell the facts that come
20 your attention in the course OF
Home Service work to any outsider.
Z. Don't give confidential informa.
ton about the family when making
inquiries.
8. Don't make inquiries of the
present neighbors or do anything that
will expose the family to gossip. Pro-
tect the family in question as you
would your own family from anything
that would help their solf.respect
9. Don't venture to make perma-
nent plans on first visit,
10. Don't fail to discover whether
there Is immediate and urgent need
Of relief and to make some temporary
provision for supplying it before
waiting to make further inquiries.
II. Don't fail, however, to inquire
before paying the first visit IL possi-
ble) what other agencies are inter-
ested.

True. the dos" taught Home Serv-
ice workers In Red Cross Home Serv-
Ice Institutes, far outnumber the
"don'ts." and one or two should be
mentioned to further exemplify the
spirit Of the service and the manner
in which 1t is given.
One is: BE sure that there 10 q
definite invitation from the family or
some responsible person competent 10
speak for them before entering the
home in the name of tho American
Red Cross"
Another: BE sure that the mem
ber Of the family in question is In
some branch of the service"
Casual reading of these instructions
may lead to the impression that Homo
Service is simple bit Of work to be
done in the odd moments Of the men,
bers Of chapter committee. II is not
simple work, nor Is 1t an odd mo-
ment" task.
In addition to mastering a knowl.
edge Of government regulations on
separation allowances and the War
Risk Insurance Law, a Red Cross
Home Service worker must either be
naturally endowed with or be able to
acquire the qualities Of tact, patience
and kindness, and must study the
problems which beset home life.
With all its ramifications, Red
Cross Home Service Is the most exact
ing type Of work now required by this
humanitarian institution within the
boundaries Of our own country. Its
requirements for immediate and au-
thentic information Of the broadest
scope are such that 116 page hand

When Nature was manufacturing You she bored two holes in
your nose, for you TO use in breathing. Your mouth was made for
eating. drinking aud talking. and not 10 convey the air to your lungs
The nostrils are especially fitted rp with mcrohe catchers. The
open mouth il a germ nest.
Breathe through your nose aud you are not 50 liable to catch cold.
And you'll be handsomcr. You won't look 50 much like a fish.
Or boob.
Also you will not snorc. 1t isa common mistake to suppose people
SHORE through the nose. If they would shut the mouth they would
cease the noisr.
When you get the habit of keeping your mouth shut, it has a most
bencfccnt reflex action upon your soul. You don't talk 50 much.
Talking is a process by which we get into trouble. Keeping the mouth
shut is the trick by which we got out of trouble.
Sometimes.
General Grant was said to be able to keep his mouth shut in seven

When we talk, people find out how little we know whereas the
