HARRISBURG BELIEVES in
The RED CROSS
BY William T. Hildrup, DR.,
General Chairman, Red Cross
Campaign

The people of Harrisburg believe
in the Red Cross. They will show
their belief again by their gifts. II
docs us all good to give, ana the
nobler the cause the greater the
blessing
What work can be nobleI than
that of the Red Cross? 1t is the
work of helping and healing, OF
binding up wounds and making alive
in "A time of destruction.
It's work is solely consructive@ r
When many agencies are destroy
ing it exists only to save.
1t is a work in which all sorts and
conditions of men can unite because
it is IL work for humanity.
1t is the work of the Good Sa-
maritan written large. We all need
to have a share in such a work. 1t
saves from the degradation which
war has tendency 70 bring. 1t
keeps the mind sane and the heart
sweet.
The size of our Red Cross contri-
buttons is an index of Our character;
1t is the money We giva and the
cause for which we give it which
declare what manner of people we
are.
Men ay ptaXes because they must
and they may buy Liberty Bonds be-
cause they are a profitable form of
investment, but when men give
money for the relief of the destitute
and desolate they do it not of neces-
sity or for reasons of prudence, but
under the constraint of a gentle and
generous heart.
In our gifts to the Red Cross the
soul of America stands mos1 clearly
and gloriously revealed.

You reckless men and women who

1t is sticky substance which dries
the moment it is applied and is said
to simply shrivel the corn without
inflaming or even irritating the sur
rounding tissue or skin. 1t is claimed
that quarter of an ounce of freez-
one will cost very little at any of the
drug stores, but is sufficient to rid
