Red Cross at the Mineral Point Fair.

That the Red Cross is still live or
ganization was evidenced by its work
at the recent fair. Under the able SUI
pervision of Miss Lewis, County Social
worker. with some local help a Rest
Tent was maintained, Health Charts
and model school lunch were displayed,
dolls bearing legends for care of babies
were attractively shown, and the work
done in the school for the Deaf and
Dumb, and by patients in the Milwau-
kee Tubercular sanitarium was on sale.
Two pairs of scales, one at the east
and one at the north entrance were
kept busy Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday. During this time $50 weight
charts were filled out and given to par
ents together with standard weight for
each child.
A visitor. from California remarked
that this weighing, together with the
furnishing Of milk to underweight
children was step in advance of the
health work done in the California
schools.
Last year the milk was furnished
through the generosity Of the w. r..
c. and the Red Cross. 1t is hoped this
good work will be continued.
