raves tod4g over camps in America
where thousands OF American soldiers
and sailors are fighting tuberculosis
from exposure at the front,
from being gassed, from the "fu" and
from other experiences during the war.
In October, 1902, the International
Anti-Tuberculosis Association adopted
the double-barred Red Cross as the en-
blem Of the worldwide fight against
tuberculosis. It was proposed by DR.
G. Sersiron, Of Paris. 1t is a combina
ton of the Crodx de Lorraine and the
Greek Cross. Both crosses are sym
bolic Of charity and help to humanity.
Four years later, in 1906, the double
barred Red Cross was carried into
America. 1t was in this year that the
National tuberculosis Association was
formed and during the intervening
years the cross has been carried all
over the United States by the National
Association and it's afiliated State and
local organizations that now number
1000.
The Maryland tuberculosis Associa
ton is one of these affiliated organiza
tons. It is doing its part in the big
nationwide campaign to be waged
against tuberculosis. Owing to wal
conditions and the flu epidemic Of last
winter, the death rate from the dis
ease has increased is per cent. A
campaign Of education, prevention and
cure will be carried on with increased
effort. To finance the fight, $500, 00c
worth Of Red Cross Christmas Seals
for 1919 must be sold. Maryland's
share is $125, 900. OF this amount
100000 will be raised in the City OF
Baltimore and the remainder in the
counties. Every seal is penny's
worth of cure and prevention"
The county quotas are:

~aA% have been driven
by hunger to the eat
ing of human flesh, according to a
letter from Aimee Vanneman Higdon,
recently received by the officials Of
the Near East Relief, at Maryland
Headquarters, 463 Title Building, Bal
timore.
Dated at Erivan. in the Caucasus,
the letter says:
Conditions here are terrible but
the worst place is Igdir near Fitch
miadzin. There the houses are full
OF unburied dead. A man walking
through the streets the, other day
seemed to be carrying sack; upon
examination it was found to contain

baby. In other places children have
been seen cracking human bones for
marrow. can really scarcely endure
the sights we see of famished children
on the streets. We do not have enough
to feed half Of them: besides we do
not have half enough relief workers.
Children Lie Dead In Tho Streets.
IF the American people could real
lie that 1t is a common thing all
through Armenia to see children lying
dead in the streets, and that people
are forced to eat each other, they
would hate themselves for having any
surplus money which they would not
offer to save these poor people. In
some places the orphans are gathered
from the street and placed in a big
open courtyard to be given one bit of
bread. They have to sleep on the
ground with no covering. Usually the
following morning they are sorted
over and the dead enea put to one
side until the ox-cart comes around to
gather them up.
Meanwhile the wonderful fertile
fields are all ploughed by the sur
vivors Of the massacres. but there lie
no grain to SOW. The Tartars and
Turks have carefully taken away all
seed grain so as to make It impos.
sible for the Armenians to have a
harvest this year. Just to think that
these black soil valleys must go bar
ren-that is the discouraging thing
about It, It looks ~ though this
famine must continue all next year.
Things like this make ones blood boil.
Many OF the Armenians have money,
but neither Tartars nor Gregorians
will sell them anything. It seems as
though something ought to be done
at once to put an American or other
protectorate here to save the people.

WHAT BEN DID

Ben Franklin was a thrifty man,
To this you'll all agree;
Instead of squandering what he got
He used frugality.
His wealth increased from year t.

He won fame and position,
But not alone did he succeed
In gaining his ambition.
To smooth the way, to help him ON,
There stood his saving wife,
And twas this partnership Of thrift
Gave him happy life.
Some folks attribute wealth to luck,
IT'S fortunes known foundation
His luck to find thrifty mate
Was Ren's Interpretation.
