Although the cultivation of cinna-

Of the product comes from a wild

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

The American Red Cross has launch
ed upon a 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 be 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 now the signs of
the telegraph companies.
Busy Long Before War.
The interest of the American Re-
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 It's
department of Town and County Nurs-
ing. During the var 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 Ped Cross has de-
termined that all this valuable expert
ence In health service abroad and at
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 as more
than one-third Of the American chill
dren and young people are victims of
physical defects, the Red Cross recog-
nizes the urgent need for continued
Red Cross health service at home.
How Organization Works.
The Red Cross Health Center is
governed by business principles, ap-
plies business methods, and, In its
more simple form, can be established
and conducted b. lay people.
It proceeds upon the demonstrated
fact that health is a commodity that
can be bought and sold like brooms
and soap. Therefore, 1t establishes It
self in a storeroom in the principal
business section of the community. 1t
displays it's goods in the form Of at
tractive health exhibits In its show
windows. 1t advertises constantly and
extensively. And 1t uses every hnsi
ness and social d.

Medicine Proved Worth
During Epidemic.
"Sedituss Cough BaIsam" Most
Effective in Combating Flu.

The medicine which proved most
effective in the recent 'fu" epidemic
is a product of Atlantic City and is
known as "Sedituss Cough Balsam."
1t was used extensively, with wonder
full results. 1t is pleasant to take, and
is very good for children. 1t is valua-
BILE as a sedative in affections of the
throat, relieving obstinate coughs by
promoting expectoration, and serving
as a calmative in bronchial irritation.
For coughs, colds, bronchitis, inf1uen-
"a, loss of voice, hoarseness and huski-
ness, it has absolutely no superior.
The genuine "Sedituss Cough Balsam"
may be secured in three-ounce bottles
for 35 cents at the Arctic Drug Shop,
1929 Arctic Avenue, Atlantic City. Be
sure to get the genuine; accept no
substitute, adv.

PRAISE FOR
OUR RED CROSS WORK

Landing the work accomplished by
American philanthropy for war
stricken France, Andre Tardieu, form
err high commissioner from that ma
ton to the United States, in a recent
article widely commented on through
out the French press, says:
"The American Red Cross has &C
complished a work which calls for
the heartfelt gratitude Of every true
F'renchman. In 1918 this great relief
organization spent in behalf Of France
nearly 81, 100000 francs, and In 1919
it's expenditures on charitable projects

Teaching Disease Prevention.
The Red Cross Health Center is,
however, of ever greater service to the
we'll. 1t 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 special exhibits are
given, one after the other, on various
health subjects. Practical demonstra-
tons are made also health playlets by
children to interest and instruct them
selves and their elders. Glasses are
organized In personal hygiene, home
care of the sick, first aid and In food
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 a hundred Of
these Red Cross Health Centers are in
actual operation throughout the coun-
try. Many of them also conduct med
ical clinics, but the one chief, out
standing feature of the American Red
Cross Health Center Is its health edu-
cation service which teaches we'll peo-
pie how to keep well.

Getting Tangled Up

1t has been the constant assertion
of the kept press that all the farmer
owned newspapers of North Dakota
were implicitly obedient to the COM
mand of Townley. 1t has even charg-
ed that Townley n..,sc approve all
editorials appearing in any of the
farmers newspapers.
OF late all these kept papers have
been reprinting from the farmers
papers instances of disagreement. Be-
cause some of the farmers papers
have different ideas from others on
certain problems, it is glesfuliy as
sumed by the kept press that tho
League is near a breakup.
The kept press logic is dreadfully
mussed. If Townley absolutely dom
mates the League, why should there
be these differences of opinion among
League editors? Is Townley fighting
himself?
And if, on the contrary, the League
newspapers are the expression of the
men who run them, and of the farm
ers who own them, what becomes of
the kept press charge of Townley
absolutism? We are curious to know
just what explanation the brethren

Beef Shortage in Prospect

A beef shortage for the next seven
years is predicted for the United
States. In the past year the number
of cattle slaughtered . for Interstate
shipment declined by 10000 and NJ
f.. korine, statistician for the Chica-
go stockyards, declares that the pres
ent shortage is not less than 1,000,-
600 head.
Since the raising of good beef
steer is matter of years, an imme-
diate return of conditions Favorable
for livestock raising will not give us
relief for long time. The shortage
must become much worse before il
becomes better. Thousands of the Oil
cattle raisers have taken their losses
and quit the business. They will be
replaced only by new generation of
cattle raisers.
Such is the price the nation will
pay for maintaining the packing trust.
The farmers have already paid
large part of their shares. They have
frequently, in the past summer and
fall. gotten less for fat cattle than
they paid for lean stock to fatten
earlier. Such is the way the trust
ST. bilizes the market. The heavier
part of the consumers bill is in the
future. Our working people will be
less and less able to eat meat, and
with poorer food the quantity and
quality of their work must fall off.
So it Will touch the manufacturers,
too, and we shall hear great deal
about lazy @orkmen
And let it be remembered that At
torney General Palmer agreed TO let
the packers keep their meat mono
