RED CROSS EXTENDS
RELIEF TO POLAND

More than S5,O00,000 has been spent
by the American Red Cross in aiding
the stricken people Of POLAND. The
organization has nursed the sick, fed
the starving, clothed the naked, shelter
ed the homeless, schooled the children
and cared for the orphans there. 1t has
conducted a relentless fight against
typhus, cholera and other terrible dis
eases. SO today millions of men and
women In that resurrected nation
speak in grateful appreciation OF "Ihe
Greatest Mother in the World"
Nearly 200 American Red Cross
workers are now engaged in relief ac-
tiyities in Poland -Four large relief
bases are in operation and eleven mo-
bile units are in the field. During the
last twelve months this organization
was largely instrumental in the re-es-
Establishment Of a million refugees at a
cost for general relief Of more than
81 900. 900. Last winter one-haif mil
lion war orphans were aided material
ly. and since then series Of large or
Dhanages have been established to give
them permanent care.
But for American Red Cross aid. Of
ficials of Poland declared recently, mil
lions of people In that country would
have persisted of disease, exposure or
starvation the last eighteen months.
And the work there must be kept up
Ter another year.

FIRST AID TRAINING /
TO men AND WOMEN
American Red Cross Is Teaching
Hundreds of Thousands Life-
Saving Methods.

The purpose of instruction In First
Aid to the injured offered by the Amer.
lean Red Cross is to train men ana
women to administer First Aid treat
ment promptly and intelligently when
emergencies demand 1t. First Aid
treatment is not intended to take the
place of physicians service. A sur
geon should always be summoned as
q precautionary measure where there
is an injury Of any consequence, but
when one cannot be secured few min
utes delay may mean fatality. In
such a case a person trained in First
Aid is invaluable not only to the in
dividual, but through him to the COM
munity in which he lives.
There is perhaps no way of ascer-
tanning the number Of deaths or seri-
Gus disablements which result from
lack of proper safeguards or prompt
emergency treatment 1t is safe to as
sert they number thousands daily.
There can be no doubt that the appli-
cation of First Aid methods to each
case would UNNECESSARILY tighten the
country's toll of suffering and death.
The dissemination of First Aid train
ing and information has already pro-
duced farreaching and beneficial in
fiuence In the prevention of accidents
ON railroads, in mines and in great in
dustrial concerns.
The benefit of widespread knowl-
edge of First Aid in the event Of a
great disaster, such as train wreck,
an explosion, an earthquake, etc., is
obvious. Laymen who have had First
Aid training can render efficient as
sistance. Many lives may depend upon
such emergency care.
Red Cross First Aid work includes
ID the formation and conduct, through
Red Cross chapters, of classes for in
struction in accident prevention and
First Aid to the injured among men
and women in all communities and in
every industry; (2) the introduction of
courses of instruction in high schools
and colleges.
The Red Cross is prepared to supply
First Aid books and equipment at rea-
sonable prices.
Every person in this country able to
do SO should, in his own interest, re-
ceive Red Cross First Aid instruction.
Information about the course and in
structiop classes may be had at the
nearest chapter headquarters.

MIST KEEP HIGHWAYS OPEN.

MUST kEEP Huh w Al > VI Elm.
MADISON, Wis.-Towns, and vii
lagos and cities of the state must
keep streets, highways and alleys
open for travel during the winter
months. This is the law and the
Wisconsin Highway Commits 'ion is
directed to enforce it.
Today, J. I. Donaghey, Mainten-
ance Engineer, sent to the board of
supervisors of every county, letter
calling attention to this law, and the
need for its observance. This let
ter says:
You will note under Section 1916
(c) that if the town, village, city or
county fail to keep any portion OF the
State Trunk Highway system open
for traffic during the winter that the
Commission may be appealed to and
has the power to order the county to
keep such portion of the System
open for. traffic, if in its opinion pub
lie interest demands the road be kept
open. Fifty per cent Of the cost of
such work may be assessed against
the unit of government in which the
snow is actually removed.
If there is any road nthe county
of sufficient Importance to require it
being kept open during the winter
months for motor vehicles it should
be selected by your board at the an
nual meeting and the necessary APP
preparations made to purchase the
equipment required and to pay for
the work. If action along this line
is. not taken at this time the Com
mission will undoubted receive num-
erous petitions for snow removal on
Trunk Highways at a time when it
will be too late for the county to pro-
vide the necessary funds and equip
ment.
No petition can legally be present
ed to the Commission until either the
town, village city or county has fail
ed to keep the System open, and, of
course, no person can assume that
they have failed until snow has ac-
cumlated to such depth as to inter-
fere with traffic"

The spouts of china teapots become
very much discolored in time. A wing
feather of a chicken or turkey makes
a good brush TO remove them. When
well soaped and drawn in and out OF

pried into number Of hooks and
