In nearly every family there is one
member who objects so seriously to
onions that the cook gives up in des-
pair and stops trying to serve them.
II the vegetable is cooked in an I'M
covered pan the odor is not as strong
rs when tightly covered And II a
deodorant is burned in the living
rooms while the onions are being
cooked in the kitchen there will be
absolutely no unpleasant fumes.
Onions are such an excellent food
that 1t pays to make quite an effort to
serve them to those In the family who
will eat them.
AS bulky and ballast food thew
have no equal this time of year. They
contain both sulphur and phosphorus.
minerals which give tone to the blood.
Aside from their food value they
are comparatively cheap-sufficient
reason in itself for using them often.

NATIONWIDE FIGHT
AGAINST DISEASE
American Red Cross Will Have
Health Centers in All Parts
of United States.

The American Red Cross has launch
ed upon II nation wide campaign OF
fighting disease and physical defect
among the American people. A new
and unique health institution has come
into being as the result OF several
months study by the Red Cross Health
Service Department at National Head
quarters.
Officials in charge of the department
predict that before long this new health
activity will he In actual operation all
over the country, and that the sign
"American Red Cross Health Center
will become as familiar to the peo'
pie everywhere as are o the signs OF
the telegraph companies.
Busy Long Before War.
The interest of the American Red
Cross In the fight against disease Is
not, however. of recent origin. Lonl
before the war the organization began
this health service through its medical
units in disaster relief work n It's
department of Town and County Nurs
ing. During the war and following
the armislice 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 Fed Cross has de
termined that all this valuable expert
ence in health service abroad and NJ
home shall not go to waste. So long
as there are a half a million people
dying yearly In this country from pre-
ventable causes, and so long rs more
than one.third of the American chill
dren and young people are victims OF
physical defects. the Red Cross recog
nizcs the urgent need for continued
Red Cross health service at home.
