 Teaching Disease Prevention.
 The Red Cross Health Center is, however, of even greater service to the well. It teaches people how to pre- vent sickness and disease. This is done in many interesting and attractive ways-frst of all, by the distribution of popular health literature and through health lectures Illustrated with lantern slides or with health motion picture films Then ipecial exhibits are given, one after tae other, on various health subjects. Practical demonstra- tions are made also health playlets by children to interest and instruct them selves and their elders. Classes are organized in personal hygiene, home cure Ol tIlc StAhI III SN ald anu III AOVA selection and preparation. Health clubs, both for younger and older peo. pie, are formed also Little Mothers Leagues. Nutrition and growth clinics are conducted for children.
 Already more than hundred Of these Red Cross Health Genters are in actual operation throughout the coun- try Many of them also conduct med ieal clinics. but the one chief, out standing feature of the American Red Cross Health Center Is it's health edu- cation service which teaches well peo- pie how to keep well.

A MAN AFOOT

T HE furious storm aroused by the
 \ combat between Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton, the greatest gladators to face each other in the arena of American politics. makes our recent campaigns seem like sunshow- CTS. Hamiltonians seorned to eat and drink and sometimes even to pray, with the Jeffersonians. To give a daughter in marriage with one of them was almost abhorred as mis- cegenation.
 Nothing else so stirs the angry pas sions as conflict of classes or of sec tions. This was both doubly bitter. An almost solid South united with the Northern masses in common dread of strong government and in a common hostility to the old ruling caste in the middle states and New England. The new parties called them selves Federalists and Republicans.
 In the first battle when those par ties fought for the chair of Washing ton In 1796, the result was so close that Jefferson came within two cleo

 The interes; Of the American Red Cross in the fight against disease IS not, however. of recent origin. Long before the war the organization began this health service through its medical units in disaster relief work and its department of Town and County Nurs ing During the war and following the armistice thousands of American Red Cross officials have been fighting disease in the war-Stricken countries. At the same time tens of thousands of local Red Cross officials have been en gagged at home fighting disease, nota bly during the influenza epidemics.
 The American ed Cross has de termlned that all tnls valuable expert ence in health service abroad and al home shall not go to waste. So long as there are a half a million people dying yearly In this country from pre- ventahle causes. and St long as more than one-third of the American ehll- dren and young people are victims Of physical defects fine ked Gro>S reeog nizes the ar-euI need for continued Red Cross health service a home.

 Was nursed at the breast
 Of the unexhausted West.
 At the time of his birth beneath one of It's foothills the Blue Ridge of Vir- ginia was the American frontier. The farm on which he was born had been cleared in the wild forest by his pio- neer father when the smoke of a neighbor's chimney hardly could be seen from his cabin door.
 When he rode east, with his darling fiddle under his arm, to be student at William and Mary college the tall, slender, sandy-haired, snub-nosed, freckled-faced seventeen-year-old boy of the frontlersman never had seen a mansion, a church or a village of twenty houses and he looked with a strangers eyes upon the baronial

 To support the large family of his mother on their too small farm Jeffer- son turned to the law. In seven years at the bar he doubled his estate and increased his slaves to 400. Buying the little mountain at whose feet he was born, he built upon its summit from plans of his own drawing, with bricks of his own making and with wood of his own cutting, the noblest house in all Virginia. There at Mon- tiCellO he made his home ever after.
 Jererson's law practice continued rapidly to grow until 1t amounted to $2, ,50O year when he abandoned 1t forever to prosecute George III in the great and general court of mankind.

 Six weeks and day after he had seen that old France of the Bourh0ns crash beneath the walls of the Bastille Jefferson left Paris to become our first secretary of state. Taking his seat at the right of Washington he was face to face across the cabinet fable with Alexander Hamilton. the secretary of the treasury.
