RED CROSS TO CARRY ON.UNT|L LAST
yANK HAS RE TURNED. FROM OVERSEAS

The second annual conference of
chapters of the Northwestern divi-
sion Of the American Red Cross, held
in Seattle on April 40, IL, IL, was
attended by over $50 delegates, rep
resenting practically every chapter in
the division which includes Idaho.
Washington, Alaska and Oregon.
The spirit of the conference was
ideally Red Cross-each delegate
was there for work and information.
The especial features were home SER
vice. nursing activities and junior
membership-the work Of the Red
Cross to lbe most actively developed.
The keynote Of the conference
was SERVICE. both at home and
The necessity for continu-
ing the work of military relief and
relief of suffering in foreign coun-
tries until such time as the coun-
tries could themselves take over the
work, was emphasized. We have
undertaken a great work and must
carry 1t through to the end, until
the last soldier and sailor is again
restored to health and is placed in a
position OF independence, and there
are no longer hungry and cold people
In the world.
1t is expected that the rushed
work of the chapters will practically
cease about July 1st and that there
will be no more large allotments in
the fall, but chapters are asked to
keep intact to be ready for any emer-
gency calls. The foreign relief must
continue, and while 1t is hoped that
there will be no further calls on the
people as a whole for money, the
need has been so much greater than
anticipated that the time may come
when more will be needed to COM
plete the work begun. The number
Of Red Cross commissions abroad
now is 15 as compared with six dur
ing the time Of the war. That the
American people are faithful to their
trust is shown by the fact that OF

REDS SURPRISED

Something Always Happens to Inn

10 Princes Island Helped

Stockholm, Apr. 16.-iPassenger
traffic on Russian railroads has
ceased ostensibly because Of the
spread Of spotted typhus but really
because there are no locomotives to
spare and because there is a great
shortage OF fuel, according to /. Hes
sen, the former editor of the Petro-
grad Rjetsch. Thanks to heavy brib-
ing he has just managed to leave
Petrograd which he said was in des-
perate straits.
Eat the Putiloff works, where for
merly $4,000 men were employed
only very few are now to be seen, ;"
said Mr.. Hessen to the Associated
Press. Sabotage prevails. Locomo-
tiyes cannot be repaired nor con-
structed. The only one the bolshe-
Wiki have is valued at four million
rubles.
''In Petrograd a piece of firewood
costs four rubles. bread 20 rnbles a
pound, meat 80. sugar 100 and but
ter the same. Maxim Gorky, the
novelist, has at his disposition 10,2
100000 rubles for printing books
and supporting authors and tutors,
but no books can be printed as long
as paper is five rubles a pound.
why the bolsheviki regime has
not fallen puzzles everyone, partic-
ularly the bolsheviki themselves.
Time after time they have expected
their fall and prepared to quit, but
each time something happened that
improved their chances. Last au-
tumn when Perm was taken by the
Czechs, when armed forces threaten
ed from the Ukraine and the Narva
and British warships approached in
the Baltic every one was sure it was
the beginning of the end. And then.
instead, came the invitation to
Princes Islands.
mot even one per cent Of the pop
ulation is in favor of bolshevism.
Bolshevik troops fight without know
ing why, but continue for fear of be-
ing shot If they disobey. If given
an opportunity they desert at once.
An example of this was the action of
what was considered model regi-
ment in Petrograd. The men, 5000
of them, were sent from their bar
racks to the railway station to en-
train for the Narva When the train
arrived there were just eight men
who had obeyed instructions to en-
train.
'If there is no Intervention soon
pure anarchy will rule Russia. Trot-
zky and Lenine are gradually being
pushed aside and real criminals will
succeed to the places of power"

.SERG. Bauer Tells, S,.....
ABOUT PHILIPPINES

Last evening crowd of some
four hundred people gathered at the
Church Of Christ to do honor to our
boys who had been under the colors.
Not all the soldiers and sailors who
are here we're able to attend, but
there was a good representation.
Sergeant Paul Bauer, local recruit
ing officer, gave an excellent talk on
Christianity in the Philippines" He
also demonstrated the sending Of a
message in semaphore code. The
message was read by J. Manuel.
Fred Carpenter. cornetist in the
orchestra and veteran of the Span
ish-American war, gave number Of
bugle calls. These were enthusias-
tically received.
The orchestra played several selec-
tions that were made popular in war
time. Mr. Roberts led the boys and
the audience in the singing of a num-
ber OF camp songs and martial airs
Miss Pattillo sang a beautiful hymn
which stirred the hearts of all,
The sermon subject was, "Christ
the Way" 1t was pointed out that
no way to God is sufficient unless
that way makes man know God in q
personal, vital way. Only through
Christ, who becomes a man, is this
vital requirement met.
The meetings will continue thi,
week. The subject tonight Is, "Ths
Question Of the Ages"

Terrifying Discomfort
From Skin Diseases

You can get some little relief
for the time being by rubbing or
scratching the irritated skin, but
you would not expect to be cured
in this way. Neither should you
expect a cure from local aPplca-
tions of lotions, ointments or other
remedies applied to the skin, for
the simple reason that a cure must
come from the source of the
trouble.
You must locate the headquar-
tiers of the disease germs. and cut
of their base of supplies. The
blood is saturated with them. and
they will set up their attacks on
the surface of the skin as long as
they remain in the blood, no mat
ter how much local treatment you
take.
A million gallons of local treat
ment applied to the surface of the
skin will not eliminate the germs
of the disease from the blood, and
until they are eliminated your
skin will never be free from the
itching and burning discomfort.
If you want relief that is per-
manent, then take treatment that
goes right to the seat Of the trou-
bic and removes its cause. Such
a remedy is S. S. S., the reliable
old blood remedy purifier that so
thoroughly cleanses the blood, that
every trace of disease germ is
routed out, and a new supply Of
rich red blood is sent coursins
through the veins.
S. S. S. has been used success
fully in some Of the worst cases
of eczema and other skin trou-
bles. and it can be relied upon to
cleanse the blood Of the last YES
tise of the disease. S. s. S. is
also a splendid tonic and system
builder. and it builds up and add,
new visor to the whole system.
Co to your drug store and get
a bottle of S. S. S. today and be-
gin the right treatment for skin
diseases. Then write for free
medical advice about your own
case. Address Chief Medical Ad-
wiser, l07 Swift Laboratory. Al

Itching and Burning Eruptons
Torture Victims.

Only those who are afflicted with
Eczema, letter, Erysipelas boils and
similar so-caIled skin diseases can
appreciate the real terrifying 6s-
comfort that comes from these dis
orders.
Just imagine that there is a
steady blaze of fire in constant con-
tact with your tender skin. and
you can form some idea of the
pain that must be endured by the
afflicted. For the millions and
millions of tiny disease germs that
seem to burrow through the skin,
each one carrying a torch Of fire,
cause pain that is almost unen-
durable.
And the constant plea Of those
afflicted is the oft-repeated ques-
ton. How can | find relief from
this constant torture? Not pal
Iiative, temporary relief that causes
the terrible itching to abate for
awhile. but real genuine relief that
shakes off the shackles of the dis
ease and restores the skin to its
former healthy condition.
And temporary relief is the
most that can be expected from
local treatment. such as ointments,
salves. lotions, ETC.. which is one
reason why these diseases seem to
hold on with such tenacity. 1t is
not because they are incurable, but
because they are improperly treat
ed. that they appear to be so stub
born and so difficult to cure.
The fact is they are misnamed.
and therefore, improperly treated.
Because the trouble attacks the
skin and all the pain and discom-
fort is confined to the surface Of
the skin, these disorders are
called skin diseases" But the
real cause is a disease germ In the
blood, which multiplies by the
million. and sets up an irritation in
some tender location of the deli
cate skin.
