The LOn8 Arm OF Mercy
BY DR.. FRANK CRANE

The Red Cross the Long Arm OF Mercy.
1t is the Kindness of Mankind-organized
In Man is Angel and Devil, DIR. Jekyll and Mr.
Hyde The Red Cross the Good aroused energized to
thwart the Bad.
1t is the best antidote know the bane of
There other Charities, less helpful The
Red Cross the ghtiest of all Charities the Love and Pity
of all men made supremely efficient.
If, Emerson said, sensible and conscientious
all the world of religion this is the
preston of that religion
The Red Cross is Humanity united Service
1t asks mans opinion; only his need.
Black White, Friend Foe the Red Cross there
is difference; it only asks "Who Sufferng?" And
to him it goes.
The Red Cross is Efficient that Governments recog
fellow desires to help it; Clean in its administration
that the most suspicious find no fault in it
The Red Cross only seeks alleviate the crueties
of War; is the expression of those human sentiments that
some day will put end to War
1t is the impulse of Love- striving the i'm
pulse of Hate
1t is Mercy's cooperation struggling against Wars ri
valrieS.
It is the one Society in which every Man. Woman and
Child should be enrolled; tor knows sects peju
dces protesting opinon the human being does not live
that does feel that the starving should be fed the sick
tended and the wounded healed
Majestic and divine is this Long Arm of Mercy; finds
the fallen the battlefield brings the and the
physician the victim the hospital leads the weeping
orphan to home feeds the starving for the pest
Smtten whom all others abandon and the oil of Help
and Pity into the bitter wounds of the World
Where volcano has wrought desolation in Japan

doing; he has seen the work of the
Red Cross cover there and he sends
back the message that If the people
of the whole United States only Will
realize that this is a war of nations,
not of armies, remember that the
American army and navy viii do their
&C, then we can make sure OF a vic
tory for America and her allies by
acting as a nation, thinking as a ma
ton, nghting as a nation. If we do
that, Simmons says in his message to
the Southwestern Division Of the Red
Cross, America will be the deciding
factor in the war.
Nothing else matters if we do not
win the war, Simmons says in q final
appeal for harder Red Cross work
and more ships with which to trans
port our men and supplies and NUM-
tons
Mrs. c. G. Cochran and Mrs. Rea
have charge of the work room on
Wednesday mornings
Mrs. Ford and Mrs Stout are IN
charge on Thursdays.
Hays hopes to have a local home
nursing course later.
The course in home nursing offered
ON hGO OIOSS IL 0Gll-
nitely established chapter activity of
Importance equal to any Red Cross
activity.
The American women are not ALL
going to be able to knit, they are not
ALL going TO make surgical dres-
sings, they are not ALL going to
nurse, and our Red Cross offers op-
portunities for such varied activities
that no woman can escape giving ser
vice and may serve according to spe-
cial qualification.
The course in elementary hygiene
and home care of the sick, with its 80
hours of lectures and demonstrations
and 240 hours of practical work IN
lospital wards, equips the young
American women with a very neces-
sary practical education. Women thus
qualified are going to be called upon
for service each year as the war con-
tinues that will be of real
vital importance to war relief work.
This course is a prerequisite for nurs-
es' aids About 100 aids are in ser
vice in France, assisting the A R. G.
nurses in infant welfare work in the
care of refugees and children to act
as interpreters. In the future they
will be called upon to assist and sup
plement the professional nurses in
| their many branches of usefulness.
Each chapter should Immediately
organize to take care OF this work.

RED CROSS NOTES

Hays Chapter is looking forward to
an auction in the near future. Al
ready turkeys and chickens have been
promised. Colby recently cleared
100000 on an actution and Scott
City S2,500.0O and Juntion City over
100000 Any donations will be ap-
preciated.
The local chapter has been asked
to make fifty comfort kits for the
soldiers. They contain: One tube
tooth paste, one toothbrush, one cake
soap, three shirt studs, one spool
black thread, one spool white thread,
one package needles, one thimble, six
clothes buttons, Is pins, four safety
pins, one handkerchief, one pipe, one
pencil one pad paper, six envelopes.
1t is right up to the civil popula-
ton of the United States to deter
mine the length of the war.
This is the stirring message sent
to this country and particularly to the
people of the Southwest by George
W. Simmons, manager of the South
western Division of the American
Red Cross, who is in France on a tour
of Observation for the War Council
of that organization.
Simmons has been at the front with
the American forces; he has seen
what the boys from the Southwest
and other portions Of the country are

realizing the value of this instruction,
viii stimulate the interest of all the
women, organize classes Of about fif-

chapter financially In any way. Where
this class work has been successfully
conducted the women taking the
course have contributed q very def
mite and very vital way TO the activi-
ties of the Red Gross chapters
The privilege Of giving the prac-
teal work to the students who have
successfully completed their course
as per the textbook, Elementary Hy-
giene and Home Care Of the Sick"
has been heretofore confined to such
chapters as have organized a base
lospital unit. With interest in this
work growing as 1t has In the last
few months, other hospitals viii be
located throughout the division TO
i've this practical course
The practical course Of 240 hours
hospital wards viii be offered by
several hospitals in the Southwestern
Division and it viii be possible for
every student OF these classes to have
this very valuable course Of training.
We must be prepared for q condition
that Is sure to arise IN the future,
though we are not able to see it Just
now. LYDIA NJ ANDERSON,

Treatment of chronic diseases is
rapidly becoming an exact science.
Thinking men and women no longer
believe that the surgeons knife is the
only cure for chronic conditions.
Only within the last few years has
the average citizen, and for that mat
ter the majority of physicians, actu-
ally had much faith in medical treat
ment for chronic diseases.
Even thought you cannot pass the
physical examination to serve the ma
ton it is your duty to do all you can
to help here at home and it is your
duty to be and to keep yourself ply
sically fit to do your part. Are you
able to do your bit to help our boys
"over there?" Or are you troubled
with some disorder which, while per-
haps it does not look to you very SER
ious or painful, still keeps you from
doing your best?

A BOOST FOR BECKs.

At the last meeting of the St.
Louis county commissioners a di-
vision of the county road fund was
made and a number of resolu-
tions appropriating money for
different roads was passed, says
the Cloquet Pine Knot. Among
these was one of $4,000 for Vi

north from the St: Louis-Carlton

This, with the 81, 200 previously
appropriated, shoul l be suffice It
to finish this road. The settlers
north of the city and the citizens
of Cloquet certainly feel grateful
to Commissioner Becks for his
