RED CROSS EXTENDS
RELIEF TO POLAND

More than 100000 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 THE
Greatest Mother In the World"
Nearly 200 American Red Cross
workers are now engaged In relief &C.
tivities 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-
tabllshment Of million refugees at a
cost for general relief Of more than
$1,000,000. Last winter One-half mil
lion war orphans were aided material
ly, and since then a series Of large or
phanages have been established to give
them permanent care.
But for American Red Cross aid, Of
fcials 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
FOR another year.

QUIT TOBACCO!
So Easy to Drop Cigarette, Cigar
Or Chewing Habit

NO-TO-Bac has helped thousands
to break the costly, nerve-shatter-
ing tobacco habit. Whenever you
have a longing for smoke or
chew, just place a harmless No-To-
BAG tablet in your mouth instead.
All desire stops. Shortly the habit
is completely broken, and you are
better off mentally, physically, fl
nancially. It's SO easy, SO simple.
Get a box of No-TO-Bac and If it
doesn't release you from all craving
for tobacco in any form, your drug
gist will refund your money without
question. No-TO-Bac is made by
the owners of Cascarets; therefore
is thoroughly reliable.-Adv. If

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 and
women to administer First Aid treat
ment promptly and lntelligently 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
lie an injury Of any consequence, but
when one cannot be secured few min
utes' delay may mean fatality. In
such case 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 appll-
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
fuence in the prevention Of accidents
on railroads, in mines and in great In
dustrial concerns.
The benefit Of q widespread knowl-
edge of First Aid In the event Of O
great disaster, such as q train wreck,
an explosion, an earthquake, etc, ID
obvious. Laymen who have had First
Aid training can render eftlcieAt as
sistance. Many lives may depend upon
such emergency care.
Red Cross First Aid work includes
~ the formation and conduct, through
Red Cross chapters, Of classes for In
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
Btruction classes may be had at the
nearest chapter headquarters.

HALL-MooDY SCHOOL NOTES

While the attendance was large
tae first day, pupils have continued
to arrive until the enrolment has
gone much beyond the expectation
Of every one. Both dornitories
are almost full and the class rooms
are crowded. The personnel of the
student body is excellent. The work
of the year should be the best in the
history of the school.
Besides the ]. N. Hall society for
preachers, the school has two liter
airy societies that meet eacn Mon
day afternoon. The Cliosophic is
sponsored by Prof. Davies, and the
Excelsior society is managed by
Prof. Witherington. Much friendly
rivalry has been manifested in Sc
curing new members. As for num-
bers and diversity Of talent both So
cieties stand an even chance to win
the victories and trophies Of the
year.
Committees of the two societies
have arranged a regular schedule Of
games to be played during this term.
The boys will have baseball, basket
ball, and tennis, the girls will play
basketball, tennis and volleyball.
Each game will count a given num-
Der of points, SO that the record for
the term will show what each So
ciety has done. In addition to the
prizes and trophies awarded hereto
fore there will be three awards for
the first term, SO on for each term
through the year,
First, there will be cheering
banner to be given to the society
that gives the best support in each
game. Second, there will be beau
tiful shield, the gift of the Fits
Jewelry Company of Martin, to be
awarded to the team that wins the
game. Third, there will be a splen-
did loving cup, the gift of Mr..
Thomas Ryan of Martin, for the So
ciety that make the highest score
for the term.
On Friday of last week Mr.. T. H.
Farmer treated the school with a
wagon load of delicious watermel-
ons. 1t is needless to say that in
spite Of the threatening rain at
tendance was good and interest all
absorbing. The school is ready to
assist any good citizen in disposing
OF fifty or hundred such melons at
any time.

Jefferson County Was First.

In a recent address before the State
Road School at Morgantown Julius
K. Monroe, member of the West Viz
GINA Stale Road Commission. spoke
as follows concerning the earliest
good road movement in this State:
Jefferson county is probably the
pioneer in the building of good
roads" in what is now the State of
West Virginia. About 1880, IA miles
of telford was built from Shepherds
town TO Middleway, and 10 miles of
Waterbound macadam from Harper's
Ferry TO Middleway; and in 1899. 8
miles of waterbound macadam was
built from Charles Town 10 Berryville.
and in 1869, 80 years later, 10 miles
OF waterbound macadam was con-
structed between Charles Town and
Myerstown. think it probable. how
ever, that a considerable portion OF
the "turnpikes," as they were then
designated, were "macadamized," al
though the record which have does
not mention it. Apparently but little
progress was made in the way of i'm
proved roads from this time until 1890.
when Jefferson again leads the way by
building 4 miles of waterbOund
macadam from Shepherdstown to
Wild Goose Farm, and y miles from
ShepherdStOwn TO Halltown.
