$4,000 IN LIFE-SAVING
SERVICE OF RED CROSS
Additional $4,000 Water Safety
Experts Probable Gain Of
Summer Campaign.

A boy watched an expert give q
class a lesson in the way to revive q
person unconscious from water i'm
mersion. The next day the boy tried
II on a bathing companion and saved
his life. Such boy justifes all the
effort and the cost Of the Life-Saving
Service, American Red Cross officials
declare. The Red Cross method OF
restoring partly drowned persons is so
simple that the continual large sacri'
fee of life must decrease as an In
formed public insists upon general In
struction in prone pressure practice
to induce respiration.
The Red Cross Life-Saving Service
in every part Of the country, summer
and winter, is engaged in teaching
this method as an integral part OF
swimming and life-saving. This SER
vice has grown from a single expert
in 1914 to a corps OF almost $4,000 ac-
tive life-savers. In this tenth year OF
the work It is predicted that fully
$4,000 more experts will be eligible
for membership in the corps. This
large accession in a single year is
confidently expected as the result OF
the campaign among $4,000 troops OF
Boy Scouts under a plan to qualify
at least two life-guards in each troop.
During the past year 4,746 men,
1874 women, 9,731 boys and girls sue
cessfully passed the rigid tests of the
Red Cross-an increase of 5,331 over
1928. Intensive instruction is develop
ing hundreds Of qualified examiners
for the Red Cross Life-Saving Corps,
who supplement the teaching staff
maintained by the national organiza'
tion. The cause Of water safety Is
therefore penetrating to new sections
and eventually will cover all Ameri-
can territory.
Recognition Of this Red Cross SER
vice for humanity is growing apace.
At the request of the War Department
every military training camp had life
saving instruction last summer. Mu.
inequalities have adopted the Red
Cross course, public and private
schools are offering II to students,
business, civic and athletic organiza.
tions are promoting campaigns, and
police departments are making 1t a
part Of the conditioning process for
their recruits.
Volunteer life-savers throughout the
country, the American Red Cross re-
ports, are eagerly advancing the cause
of water safety, 3SS volunteers receiv-
ing medals for giving from 200 to 300
hours service in two or three years
In addition 36 rescue bars to medals
we're awarded members Of the Red
Cross Corps who saved one or more
lives during the year.
It is for the work and extension Of
life-saving that continued support
through memberships is sought, and
the American Red Cross urges all per.
sons to Join or renew membership
during the enrolment campaign open
ing Armistice Day, November IL.

collie

Collie is an old fashioned thing
just as babies are-but it is not to
be ignored. Collie is merely indiges-
ton, but collie, by any other name,
will ache as much. 1t usually comes
on in the night, when vitality is
lowest
Collie symptoms are: cold hands
and feet, paroxisms of pain, accom-
panied with drawing up of the knees.
Do not give strong medicines to
cure it. Try to prevent the attacks
by giving more water and less food
at the feeding before the usual at
tacks.
The relief of collie consists in
warming the hands and feet with
hot water bottle or hot blanket;
giving hot water, perhaps with
soda mint tablet dissolve in it; or
an enema, if it seems wise. To raise
the child over your shoulder and let
it belch up the wind on its stomach
sometimes helps.
After a child has had cholic, give
weakened rations, adulterated with
water until it gets strong again.

A, B, @ OF vITAMINs

Vitamins are mysterious things
and we do not know them by sight,
nor by name, but, for convenience
we have called them, "Vitamins A,
Vitamins B, and Vitamins c..
Vitamins A are found in dairy
products, milk, cream, butter, cheese
and in eggs and cod liver oil. If
we do not eat enough of them our
resistance to disease is lowered, and
we are subject to colds, pallagra
and tuberculosis. If mother says,
81 don't know what ails Johnny, he
takes everything that comes along"
perhaps he does not eat enough of
Vitamin A.
Vitamins B are in green and leafy
vegetables, in whole grain, in bran
and in milk Eat all the fresh vege-
tables you can and also bran and
milk and you will not suffer on this
score. The child who will not grow
probably suffers a shortage of Vita
Minis B.
Vitamins C are also in raw, fresh
vegetables and fruits, especially in
cabbage, lettuce, oranges, lemons
and tomatoes. If we do not eat
enough Vitamins c we may fall q
prey to scurvy. Sailors in old times,
before they knew much about the
laws of diet, did not have q supply of
Vitamins c when they went OF on a
long cruise. The result was scurvy.

GOVERNOR MOORE URGES
WOMEN TO USE BALLOT

BOISE. Idaho, May 22-That "evo-
luton advances civilization rather
than revolution" was the significant
keynot of the speech of governor
c. G. Moore at the meeting of the
National League of Women Voters
of Idaho at Boise last evening.
The governor spoke especially Of
four lines of endeavor which he felt
merited some attention of the women
OF Idaho: the encouragement of
women to vote and take their full
responsibility in government; law en-
forcement and especially along lines
Of prohibition; reestablishing the old
standards of homes in Idaho, and
work toward lettering the schools.
The governor encouraged the wo-
men to meet the local tangible prob
lens before tackling visionary and
hereditary problems Of old world
governments.
