Red Cross Notes

The following statement regarding
the significance of the Red Cross or
ganization and symbol has been given
out by Red Cross officials, following
inquiries.
In answer to inquiries frequently
made, as well as to correct an impress
sion regarding the original significance
of the symbol that appears to prevail
in some quarters, the following facts
concerning the adoption of the Red
Cross emblem are presented:
THE Red Cross was founded
through a diplomatic convention held
in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1864. The
treaty Of Geneva, or, as it is some
times called, the Red Cross treaty,
provided for flag for hospitals and
conveys and an arm badge for per-
sons. The design proposed was a red
cross on white ground. This was in
compliment to the country in which
the congress was sitting, the Swiss
flag being a white cross on red
ground. The Red Cross flag, there
fore, is the national flag of Switzer-
land with the colors reversed.
Inasmuch as the cross symbolizes
the Christian religion, the idea pre-
walls with some persons, who are un-
familiar with the early history of the
Red Cross, that the emblem has a
distinctly religious significance-that
in adopting it the signatories to the
treaty had principally in mind the hu-
manitarianism Of Christianity. But
the universally of the underlying
IDEA, embracing all nations and all
religions, divorced it from any such
significance. In other words, the pa--
ticular cross that suggested the Red
Cross emblem was heraldic rather
than religious.
at is true that the Mohammedan
antipathy to the cross in any form
subsequently caused Turkish represen-
tatives to protest against operating
under the emblem. and it was specially
provided that the organization in
Turkey should have red crescent for
a symbol. But Japan and China have
the red cross for an emblem; and all
other countries of the world, in short.
recognize it in its true non-sectarian
and non-religious significance.
"At a banquet given for the dele
gates to the original convention of
1864 there was in the center of the
table a large piece of CONNECTION rep
resenting a fortress with it's garrison
and sanitary workers, distinguished
by the Red Cross brassard, pursuing
their functions. The tower was sur
mounted by small silk flags of the
Swiss republic and Canton of Geneva,
around. the central flag. a red cross on
a white field, the emblem of neutrality
just adopted. After the first toast
this flag was taken from its place by
the president Of the convention. who,
turning to the representative OF the
United States sanitary commission,
presented it to him as a token of ap-
probation of the commissions labors
for the good of humanity

Salvation Army Worker

Miss Julia Mason, prominent men,
Der of the Salvation Army of India

Salvation Army committee. The Elks
lodge will also boost the campaign as
1t took very active part in aiding
the Salvation Army during the war.
The Salvation Army is in need Of
funds because Of the great eXpendi-
lures overseas. Miss Mason stated
that she felt everyone should support
the organization. She said that they
did not wish to be constantly begging
for funds but wanted to establish a
budget.
The Elks lodges all over the country
are backing the project, Miss Mason
said because they felt the project was
a good one and that the organization
had done big work during the period
Of the war.
Governor Whitman of New York is

June. I have now taken my eighteenth

had my doctor examine my lungs the

Put Stomach i'm
Fine Condition
Says Indigestion Results From
an Excess of Hydrochloric
Acid in Stomach.

Undigested food delayed in the
stomach decays, or rather ferments
the same as food left in the open air,
says noted authority. He also tells
us that indigestion is caused by Hy-
per-acidity meaning there is an ex-
cess of hydrochloric acid in the stom-
ach, which prevents complete diges-
ton and starts food fermentat ton.
Thus everything eaten sours in the
stomach much like garbage sours in
a can forming acrid fluids and gasses
which initiate the stomach like toy
balloon Then we feel a belch of gas,
we ecructate sour food or have heart
burn, f1atulence, water brash or nau-
sea. Coupled with this condition OF
the stomach a case neglected ?. q.
r.. ?. and a chronic case of consti-
pation-and you have the worst enemy
known to mankind.
In a case of this sort it is best to
take a LaXcarin tablet twice a day.
morning and at night, until the entire
condition is remedied. The remedying
of condition of this sort usually de-
ponds upon the length of time the per-
son has been suffering from indiges-
ton or constipation. Because one
can expect to remedy an abnormal
condition which has probably been
lasting for years within a few weeks.
However, it is safe to say that almost
immediate relief is experienced di
rectly after taking Laxcarin for few
days. While relief follows usually
the first tablet or two, it is essential
to keep up the treatment to neutral
ize the acidity, remove the gas making
mass, start the liver, stimulate the
kidneys and thus promote a free flow
of pure digestive juices.
LaXcarin is very inexpensive and it
is made out of pure vegetable herbs
1t is absolutely harmless and it is
used by great many people. It's
formula is not secret to the medical
world in general as matter of fact it
is being used by thousands and thous-
ands of physicians in daily everyday
life. This harmless preparation is
used by a great many people for stom-
ach trouble and constipation. Lax
carin is sold exclusively by the Lax
carin Products Co., Dept. E-94, Pitts
burgh, Pa. Price for full treatment
of six boxes only five dollars. One
box only costs one dollar, but it is
worth a million to sufferers as it re-
lieves them so well and as it works as
a clock.-Adv.

kidneys to filter this acid from the

pores of the skin are also means OF
freeing the blood of this impurity. In
damp and chilly, cold weather the
skin pores are closed, thus forcing
the kidneys to do double work, they

1t should be clearly understood that
the President is not seeking to create
an European alliance for his own
country, that he is not undertaking to
bind our fortunes with those of Britain
or even of France. He is merely con

Illinois Has Large Sum
To Spend For Roads

CHICAGO, April 26.- With decks
cleared for action by the Supreme
courts announcement that the Illinois
good roads bond issue has been held
valid, state highway officials squared
away last week for the biggest single
road building job ever undertaken in
this country.
Now Illinois sees it's title clear to a
larger road building fund than has
been in the possession of any one
state at any one time in the history OF
road building. The state has approx
mately $S5,000,000 in sight to spend
on roads, and could spend 1t all in the
next two years were it advisable and
physically possible to do SO. OF this,
S60,000,000 is provided in the bond
issue and the rest in federal funds
and special state appropriations made
to secure them.
I'VE can't do ii all in two years, Of
course" says William G. Edans. presi-
dent of the Illinois Highway Improve
ment association, but l do believe
We'll have the 1880 mile state road
system paved in five years. The start
this year has been somewhat delayed
as every one knew it would be, but we
ought to build a good deal more than
1000 miles of road every year after
this. We have the money to do it all
now, even at the prevailing high
prices"
The program now is to pave the five
federal aid roads first. These, when
completed, will connect Chicago with
the Iowa state line, the Wisconsin
state line (by new route), and with
st. Louis by way of Springfield, and
provide an east and west route run
ming across the central part of the
state from st. Louis to the Indiana
| line.
Then state roads will be built link
ing the principal Illinois cities and
towns with the federal group of high
ways. Meanwhile county programs are
being stimulated everywhere to pro-
vide roads tributary to the state sys-
tenn.
