RED CROSS SANTA TO
FILL SOLDIERS SOCKS
An Old Fashioned Celebration of
Yuletide for American
Soldiers In France.

"A Christmas tree in every ward Of
every American hospital and in every
hospital recreation hat In Trancei
Every wounded or sick American
fighting man to receive two socks filled
to the brim with fruits, nuts, candy
and smokesl
These are the most interesting fea-
lures of a tentative Christmas celebra-
ton program for the American hos
pitfalls arranged by the American Red
Cross in France in cooperation with
the commanding officers of our fighting
forces in that country. Details Of the
plan to make Christmas as merry as
possible for the soldiers in these insti-
tutiens have Just been received at Red
Cross headquarters. Nurses and enlist
ed men on duty at these places will
also share In the distribution Of Christ
mas cheer. Because of the limited
amount of available shipping space
the Red Cross was compelled to aban-
don Its original plan to send special
Christmas parcels from here to soldier
patients In France. All the articles
distributed will be obtained over there
This is to be an old fashioned ceIe-
bration In every sense Of the word.
Every soldier will hang his socks on
the tree. The socks will be tied with
red ribbon and in addition to the good
les mentioned above will contain a
handkerchief and card on which
will be outlined the services the Amer
lean Red Cross Is prepared to render
our soldiers. Each soldier will re-
ceive a sufficient number OF Christmas
postcards-now being designed by art
lists in the Red Cross service-to en-
able him to write to members Of his
family and his friends back home.
The Christmas dinner, of course, will
be one of the features of the celebra-
ton. After dinner there will be
musical entertainment, motion pic
lures and general singing.

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 Inf1u-
enza, the organization through its
headquarters at Washington is prepar-
Ing to fight a 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 lighting tuberculosis. The re-
cent appropriation to the National Tu.
berculosis Association will be used for
educational as we'll 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
a 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.
tuberculosis, or consumption, as 1t
is frequently called, is both preventa-
BILE and durable, provided the treat
ment of the disease Ia begun before 1t
is too far advanced. Medicine plays a
comparatively small part. The fire.
quently advertised Consumption
cures" should be looked upon as poi
son. The only medicine which should
be taken is good tonic which will
stimulate the appetite and build up
the system generally. The main cure
lies In proper food, sufficient rest,
fresh air and sunlight cad living, II
possible, according to the plan pre-
scribed by a good physician. This re-
news the patients vitality and soon
kills the disease entirely.
For several years the National Tu.
berculosis Association has been financ-
ing its work by the sale of Red Cross
seals at Christmas time. The seals
sold for q 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 10 to 81

AMERICAS WOMEN JOINED
IN ANTHEM OF SERVICE
Millions of Red Cross Workers Do Multitude
of Little Things at Home Which Enable
Our Boys to Do Great Things in France.

Under the banner of the Red Cross
American women are working In
homes, churches clubs, schools, shops,
theaters, factories, hospitals and in
thousands of Red Cross work-rooms.
The hum of sewing machines, the
whizz of muslin torn to accurate strips,
the rat-tat-tat of volunteer typewrit-
ers, the purr OF boiling kettles in can
teens, the rumbling of automobiles of
the Motor Corps, The soft click Of knit
ting needles in lonely cabins and farm
houses all blend into a great anthem
of service.
About 100000 women working
through Red Cross Chapters and
branches are making with their hands
relief upplies-surgical dressings,
knitted articles, hospital and refugee
garments-or working az volunteers,
subject to any call day or night, at 500
railroad stations throughout the coun-
try and at the ports of embarkation, or
serving In volunteer Motor Corps.
Truly here is an army with banners
banners OF a red cross on white field.
For the period up to the first OF July,
1918, American Red Cross Chapters,
through their work-rooms, had produc-
ed 1872 ,74s, 107 surgical dressings, TO-
1874, sol knitted articles, 10,7S6, 4S9 hos
pital garments and other hospital sup
plies and refugee garments, making q
total of 22l ,2S2, SSS articles of an esti-
mated aggregate value Of at least $44,-
OO0,0 900.
Last spring during the Red Cross

men workers in cities in every state
formed their great symbolic process

there insist that they love the little
rolling canteens that just naturally
spring up where you least expect them.
most of all.
Many well known names are on the
lists OF canteen workers, for Amert
can women were quick to seize the Op-
portunity for service. The poorest
soldier on his leave may be served by
an American woman whose hospitality
was formerly dealt out by her maids
and butlers-and whose guest lists in

names in the social register. Now IT
Is she who hands over the pie with
her own hands and then gathers up
the dishes-yes, and oftentimes washes
them when help is scarce, for they
have TO be washed and made ready
for the next lot of soldiers-and one
cannot disappOint the boys who are
never too tired to respond to the call
of duty.
Another part of the canteen service
is the "store," where the soldiers ara
supplied with their needs, where
things they have lost in the heat OF
battle are replaced, tooth paste hand
ed out. razor blades, towels, tooth
brushes. all sorts of things, not forget
ting the post cards to send home and
the ever wanted packages of cigar
cites.
Taking it all in all. the canteen does
far more than fill the stomachs of the
men--it puts something worth while
into their hearts.

varied sounds of all their eager labor.
The things they made, which car
ried a message of love from the women
OF this country. quite apart from their
great money value, went from their
work-rooms on great adventures. They
have gone into front line trenches, to-
emergency hospitals in foreign villages.
and into the most modern operating
rooms. They have wrapped lost and
frightened children In warmth and
sheltered aged refugees from the cold,
They have gone overseas into strange
and sad places, into Russia and Ser
bis and Palestine and Italy and
France. They have gone into our own
huge environments for our own young
soldiers.
The Department OF Nursing Of the
American Red Cross is the great re-
cruiting agency of the United States
Army and Navy Nurse Corps. By the
first of October it had assigned over
$4,000 graduate nurses TO active mill
tary service at home and abroad. IL
has provided over 700 nurses for the
Federal Public Health Service and the
Red Cross Town and Country Nursing
Service, which co-operates with the
local health boards in the communities
which II serves.
