RED CROSS WORKING
FOR HEALTHIER U. S.
Thousands Aided by instruction
In Care of the Sick, Food Sc
lection and First Aid.

How the American Red Cross guides
thousands of persons to health is
shown in a summary of the society's
activities in the health field based
upon the annual report for the last f1s-
cal year. Through its Nursing Service,
Its Home Hygiene and Care of the
Sick courses, nutrition classes, First
Air classes, Life-Saving classes ana
Health Centers and in numerous other
ways designed to acQuaint masses OF
citizens with proper methods of living,
the Red Cross carried Its message OF
health into all parts Of the country.
The work Of the Red Cross during
the war in its traditional field of nlrs-
Ing, furnishing the military and naval
establishments OF the nation with 49,
ST. nurses, is well known. And there
are today 37,7s7 nurses registered with
the American Red Cross and subject
to call in emergency. During the tis-
cal year, 1851 Red Cross nurses were
accepted for assignment to Govern
ment service, 38S by the Army and
Navy and 1,163 by the United States
Public Health Service.
In addition to the nurses enrolled
by the Red Cross for Government serv-
ice, the Red Cross itself employed

the United States and Europe. BY far
the greatest number was employed In
the United States, 1,257, while 81 were
in foreign service.

"Apple-Pis Order"

Few persons take time to trace ex-
pressiOns they use every day. When
a thing Is In "apple-pie order" for
example, you mean. Of course, that it
IL clean and neat and generally every
thing that it should be. The express
sion originated under somewhat differ
ent circumstances, observes the New
York Sun.
"Apple-pie order" is an old New
England phrase, and Is we'll grounded
in the blue laws Of several centuries
ago. Formerly the New England
housewife did little work on Sunday
and among the many things she didn't
do was baking. Everything Of that
nature was finished Saturday night.
When the baking was done all the
pies and cakes were ranged in a row
on the kitchen shelf. With the flour
still on her hands and apron, the good
housewife would come out with a
smile on her face ready for the Sab
bath. Everything was In 'apple-pie
order"

RED CROSS RESCUED
100000 FROM DEATH
Spent s1,2OO,000 for Relief Of
Famine Sufferers in China
Last Year.

To help overcome conditions Of acute
distress in five famine stricken prov

lions Of persons were affe cted by an
unprecedented shortage of food, the
American Red Cross during the last
fiscal year spent more than $l,2OO,OOO,

recty by National Headquarters and
the remainder by various groups IN
terested In the welfare of China.
Through the wide relief operations
thus made possible it is estimated that
more than 100000 famine sufferers
were saved from starvation.
To the end that similar prompt re-
lief measures by the organization may
always be possible the Red Cross Is
asking continued support by the Amer
lean people by universal renewal of
membership at the Annual Red Cross
Roll Call November IL to "a.
The method of relief employed by
the American Red Cross IN its opera
tions In China was particularly effec-
tive, for in addition TO saving hundreds
Of thousands of lives it provided China
with more than 900 miles of permanent

vent a recurrence of famine. At one
time the Red Cross employed $4,000
Chinese workmen, paying them in food
for themselves and dependents, this
food being brought in from Manchuria

KIDD NOT !. PIRATE

Song and story are wrong. Captain
Kidd was not pirate and his -fabled
treasure does not exist Privateers-

Protecting The Farm.

The average farm property, ac-
cording to fire insurance men, is
what they call poor risk. Many
farm houses, barns and other
outbuildings are annually de-
stroyed by fire. In most of the
cases the fires could have been
prevented.
In the old days most farm fires
were attributed to lightning,
spontaneous ignition in the hay
NOW, an accident to the lantern
or to some misanthropic tramp.
Bit with Our varied improve
ments have come new causes of
fires, bringing with them new
clauses in insurance policies and

These sheep are permitted to wander

Of shepherd, and the nibbling Of
these creatures serves to keep the
grass nicely trimmed. The cost Of EN-.

more than that Of hiring men to run

1t has been demonstrated by expert.
