Of largely restricting or of pre-
venting it altogether.
ct is clear that it is most i'm
portant to the future progress and
security of civilization that intel
ligent steps be taken to instruct
the peoples of the world in the
observance of those principles and
practiced which will contribute to
their health and welfare.
TN the accomplishment of these
great aims it is of supreme conse-
quence that the results of the
studies and researches of science
should be made available to the
whole world; that high standards
of practice and proficiency in the
prevention of disease and preser-
walton of health should be promot-
ed by the intelligent and educated
public opinion; and that effective
measures should be taken in every
country to secure the utmost CO.
operation between the people at
large and all well directed agen-
cies engaged in the promotion of
health.
I'VE have carefully considered
the general purposes of the com
mittee of Red Cross societies
whereby it is proposed to utilize
a central organization which will
stimulate and coordinate the vol
untary efforts of the peoples of the
world through their respective Red
Cross societies, which will assist
in promoting the development of
sound measures for public health
and sanitation, the welfare of chill
dren. and mothers. the education
and training of nurses, the control
of tuberculosis, venereal diseases,
malaria and other infections and
preventabIe diseases, and which
will endeavor to spread the light
of science and the warmth of hu-
man sympathy into every corner
of the world, and shall invoke in
behalf of the broadcast humanity
not alone the results OF science
but the daily efforts Of men and
women of every country. every re-
ligion and every race.
Early Start.
1--WE believe that the plans now
should at the earliest practical mo-
ment be put into erect and placed
at the disposal of the world. In
no way can this be done so effect
lively as through the agency of the
Red Cross, hitherto largely repre-
senting a movement for ameliorat-
ing the conditions of war but now
surrounded by new sentiment
and the wide support and conf
dence of the peoples of the world
and equipping it to promote effec-
tive measures for human better
ment under conditions of peace.
I'VE are confident that this
movement, assured as 1t is at the
outset of the moral support OF civ
ilization, has in it great possibili-
ties Of adding immeasura5ly to the
happiness and welfare Of man
kind"

that 10 of Americas leading health
specialists. acting with the distin-
guished physicians and scientists
of England, France. Japan and

a resolution of great import to the
future welfare of mankind. This
event just occurred at the inter
allied conference of Red Cross So
cieties at Cannes, France.
The resolution tells of the pur-
pose ito spread the light of sci
ence and the warmth OF human
sympathy into every corner of the
world" 1t was adopted by the
committee of Red Cross leaders
which is preparing the program
for world betterments to be sub
mitted to the Red Cross congress
at Geneva 30 days after peace has
been declared. The text Of the res
olution:
I'VE are assembled at the invi-
tation of the committee of Red
Cross societies to assist in the
task for which that committee was
constituted, namely. To formulate
and propose to the Red Cross So
cieties of the world an extended
program of Red Cross activities in
the interest of humanity
'In addressing ourselves to this
task, we desire to express our be-
lief that while every measure
should be taken to repair the raw
ages of war and to prevent all
wars, it is no less important that
the world address itself to the pre-
vention and amelioratioh of those
ever-present tragedies of sickness
and death which occur in the
homes of all peoples.
Due TO Ignorance.
''This worldwide preva lence of
disease and suffering is in consid-
cradle measure due to causes
which science has not yet disclos-
ed, but a great part of it is due to
widespread ignorance and lack of
application of well-established
facts and methods capable either

THE STANDARD Oil
IL Company Ondiana)

III OIdIIUdIu VII
l. Company (Indiana)
always has recognized
the men and women
who use it's products as
the ultimate judges of
the success of the Com
pany's earnest effort to
render a superior service.
The Standard Oil Company Qndi-
ana) conducts its business with but
one goal as an objective-that every
individual purchaser of Standard Oil
products shall experience complete
satisfaction with every purchase.
When the Company reaches this
goal, then, and only then, will the
Board of Directors, acting as Trus-
tees for the 1923 stockholders, feel
that their ideals have been realized.
Neither the Company, nor the pa
irons, can be satisfied unless the !.
product is uniformly up to the high
est standard of excellence unless
it can be bought without inconven-
fence = unless the price charged
represents true value.
To bring about this degree of salts
faction, unerring accuracy in manu-
facture, complete distribution, and
efficiency in keeping down operat-
ing costs are essential.
Working without precedent, but
with high ideals, integrity of pur-
pose, and a keen sense of its obliga-
ton as a public servant, the Com
pany believeseit-has succeeded.
The Judgment Of the consuming
public has been for the most part
favorable to the Company, as is
shown by the ever increasing vol
ume of business which the Standard
Oil Companyof Indiana is enjoying.
The best friends of the Standard OIL
Company of Indiana are those Gus
toners who have used its goods,
and its service, for the longest time.
