Why Japanese Tea Is Liked.

One feature which marks tea curing
IN Japan is the proverbial cleanliness
which Is characteristic Of the Japan
csc people. The rules of sanitation are
strictly observed by the tea growers of
Japan. Not only the health and SANTA
ton of workers are strictly examined
by local tea associations, but also the
process of curing Is inspected with
great care. Japanese teas have never
been artiffcially colored as have been
teas from some other countries.

space of few hours Home Service
had driven poverty from the absent
soldiers home.
The whole aim and object of Home
Service is to protect the welfare of the
soldiers family while he is away and
to maintain as far as possible the
same standards of home life that pre-
vailed while he was at home. More
than this, when the standard of living
is low it is the duty and the opportu-
nifty of Home Service to raise the
standard.
Think of what it means to John
Madison and his legions of comrades
in khaki and in blue to realize that in
their absence their loved ones will be
safeguarded as carefully and as CON
stantly as they themselves would have
done. Think what it means to the
morale of these brave lads to know
that whatever may happen in the per-
lis of warfare the future Of their fami.
lies will not be jcopardized.

And then-we told them of the Red
Cross.
We had number of Red Crosses in
our windows, but they had not known.
We told them of the bandages ana
supplies needed to allay suffering.
We told them Of the noble women who
are giving their lives to the binding
up of hurts OF the boys in khaki.
We told them of the great need OF
money with which to carry on the
work of mercy.
Then Eyes O'Blue in a voice which
choked with pity for the distressed
spoke of her savings, and Touslehead
clapped her hands at the thought.
This morning l went to the bank
and withdrew their savings, $63. 30, and
they are IT, be put to work-to bet
ter work than they have been doing.
At our house for the duration of the
war we expect 10 keep the days. we
expect TO wear cobbed shoes and
patched clothing, and if we ever hest
tate in our sacrifice | shall see the
faces of Eyes O'Blue and Touslehead
as, with tears on their checks they
smiled at the thought of the help they
might be to the Red Cross.
Are you helping us to carry the Red
Cross?

AT OUR HOUSE
Eyes Blue and ouslehead Learn About the Red Cross
BY JUDD MORTIMER LEWIS

We have talked it over at our house.
Talked it over rs we have never talked
1t over before. We did not want Eyes
O.Blue TO know about it, nor did we
want to lay any part of the worlds
heavy burden upon the heartfelt Tousle-
head. We have taught them that the
world is good and beautiful place,
but last night, gathered beneath the
light in the humble little pnYlor at our
house, we talked ii over between us.
Eyes OBlue and Touslehead were told
that, while the world is good, it is not
all good that there are men who have
started out to enslave the world and
who in the furtherance of that ambi-
ton have done awful things.
Gradually as the tale was told they
drew nearer until we sat with our
arms about them. We told them of
hands hacked from baby wrists, of
death rained from the sky upon help
less little ones, of murder rising from
the seas green deeps TO feed upon
helpless mothers and babies.
And then we told them how these
splendid soldier boys we see every
day are going 30 the far front to fight
and, If need be. die to keep this hor-
ror from our land. We told them of
burns and wounds and suffering.

JOHN MADISON'S FAMIL Y

When John Madison sailed for
France there were no indications that
his family would suffer in pecuniary
way while he served his country. Johns
father was earning good wages Johns
younger brother, Henry, q driver, was
helping out the family budget.
Then Johns father was stricken with
pneumonia. His earning power stop
ped. Henry met with an accident. If
John had stayed home he could hove
carried his mother and little sisters
through the crisis. But John was with
Pershing overseas. Must his family
suffer restitution?
The Madison family's dilemma was
reported to the Red Cross and prompt
ly placed in the hands of Home Serv-
ice. AS a result the best medical at
tention was secured for Johns father
and brother. Immediate funds were
placed in the mothers hands to pro-
vide for the household as before the
family income stopped. In the brief
