RED CROSS WINNING
IN FIGHT FOR HEALTH
Better, Stronger Citizenry Now
Emerging Out of Work In
United States.

The American Red Cross as an
evangelist Of better health has looked
its problem square in the face. How
it accepted the task revealed to 1t IN
the nations physical condition as
brought cut during the World War,
and conscientiously applied its activi-
ties to correction forms a vivid chap
ter in the forthcoming annual report.
Historically and practically, nursing Is
a basic work for the Red Cross. In Its
public health nursing service, in In.
struction in home hygiene and care OF
the sick, nutrition classes, first aid
and life saving courses and health cen
terS, the American Red Cross is ap-
plying effectually the lessons learned
during the war and making for
healthier, stronger and better nour-
ished citizenry.
The task of the Red Cross Public
Health nurse in the ] ,240 nursing serv-
ices now operating throughout the
country instructing their communities
In health essentials and disease pre-
vention is demonstrating the possibili-
ties Of human betterment and the great
benefits of enlightenment.
During the last year 313 new public
health nursing services were establish
cd by Red Cross Chapters, and several
hundred services 50 convincingly prov
ed their effectiveness that they were
taken over by public authorities. In
order to promote this work 10000 was
allotted to provide women to prepare
themselves for public nursing. The
home visits made by the 1,24O nurses
aggregated nearly 100000, visits to
schools numbered 10000, and in six
months 1,250,OO0 school children were
inspected by these nurses and where
defects were found advised examina-
tion by physicians In rural commu-
mites this service has made a very
marked advance and has won thou
sands Of converts to approved methods
Of disease prevention.
In home hygiene and care Of the sick
instruction, which fits the student In
methods Of proper care where illness Is
not so serious as to require profess
slonal service, the Red Cross conduct
ed 1884 classes during the last year,
enrolled 1856 instructors, 93,44S stu
dents and issued 1866 certificates
On June 80, 1922, nutrition service
embraced 1190 classes with a total Of
27,529 children and 1850 enrolled dieti-
tians. Seventy-eight food selection
classes graduated 733 who received
Red Cross certificates. In general
health activities Red Cross Chapters
maintained 377 health centers, serving
as many communities, provided 3S,751
health lectures for large audiences ev-
erywhere, while clinics numbered over
10000.

Red Cross Water
First Aid Makes
Life-Saving Gain

More than 325 Chapters engaged In
life saving or water first aid last year
with the result that the American Red
Cross Life Saving Corps has set new
high mark for enrolment and the
number of qualified life savers de-
veloped. The influence Of "learn to
swim week" in many localities Is re-
ducing the water fatalities through In
struction and the wider dissemination
Of resuscitation methods demonstrated
by the Red Cross representatives. Ex-
cellent work has been done in teaching
a large part Of the American popula-
tion how to take care of itself in the
water. Growing appreciation for this
Red Cross Life-Saving Service Is
shown by the compulsory instruction
adopted in many cities for members Of
the police and fire departments In the
prone pressure method Of resuscita-
ton.

DENGUE FEVER EPIDEMIC
spreading Over State-Transmitted

Reports to the board of health
from physicians in the upper por-

dlctlons that dengue fever is now
sweeping the entire south, and unless
checked will become more fatal in its

past.
Dengue fever is caused bv the
bite Of a mosquito, which, like the
rats, carries the germ of disease and
mparts it 20 all whom it comes in
contact with. Ordinarily the bite of
a mosquito is harmless and the an
pllcatlon of solution of common
baking soda will relieve the pain and
reduce the swelling.

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING.
Increases Business if Judiciously
Done.

"Most everybody reads the news
papers. Your newspaper ADVERTISE
ment will be read right along with
the days news.
"When it comes to the proposition
of reaching all of the people all of
the time it's mighty hard to beat a
good newspaper advertisement"
This is not part Of an advertise
mcnt advertising newspaper advertis-
ing, but is taken from a circular let
ter Of a large tire company to its
local dealers, one Of whom handed
the letter to The Chief. 1t is given
to the dealer as good business advice,
and then to show their faith in ad-
vertising, the manufacturers spend
hundreds of thousands of dollars year
ly on their own account in publicity,
one of the most used of which is
newspaper advertising.
Advertising in the newspaper, in
the large city publication, in the coun-
try weekly or daily, will bring about
an increase in business so great that
the cost of the advertising will be
absorbed in such way that it will
hardly be felt, provided the money is
expended carefully and judiciously.
The Chief, for example, offers the
same opportunities in proportion to
its size and the needs of the adver-
tiser as does the large city newspa-
per to those whom is serves. If the
circulation is not as large as that
of the metropolitan journal, it can
be said on the other hand, that the
territory is as well covered, and the
cost of the space is less in proper
tlon. Progressive Donaldsonville bus
mess long ago found that The Chief |
can be used in helpful way through
advertising. Others are discovering
this fact each day. The sooner all
do, the better will conditions be for
the advertiser, for the newspaper, and
for the city Of which the newspaper
IS a part, and in whose INTEREST it
S constantly usnls its columns and
IS influence.
