jump. He ran to the pantry; the pies
were gone
Now Mr.. Bear did not know whtI
made the bowls, but he knew he would
find out before the day was over, and
ne knew, too, what the cries were
about, for he had put plenty and more
than plenty Of red pepper In those
berry pies, so that whoever tasted one
would not wish to taste another
That afternoon Mr.. Bear took a
stroll through the woods He called
at Mr. Possum's house. but all was
well with every one there. Then he
called at the home OF Mr.. Cooh, but
the Coon boys were feeling WELL too.
But when he came to the home of
Reddy Fox, there on the doorsteps
sat the two little Reddy Foxes with
their mouths tied up "What is the
matter, sOnnies?" inquired Mr. Bear,
looking very innocent indeed, got the
toothache?"
The little Fox boys did not answer,
but their mother came to the door just
then and said: ''They got some bees
In their mouths. l think they haven't
been able to talk since they went out
this morning to look for something
sweet to eat, but think they got
mouthful of bees"
That's too bad" said Mr. Bear. II
guess you boys would not care for my
bee pies, then. / think they are nice,
so hot and warming to the mouth
when you eat them. I was going to
invite you over to have some tomor-
row. ! shall bake some. IL you think
you would care to try them, come
around"
Mrs. Reddy Fox said she never
heard of bee pie, but she was certain
the boys would not be able to eat any
thing for several days.
The little foxes did not answer.
They just rolled their eyes at each
other and looked after Mr. Bear as he
trudged down the path towards his
home
There, l guess that will fix them"
said Mr. Bear to himself. 81 don,tt
think / shall lose any more Of my
berry pies this season, anyhow
And he didn't, for as soon as the
little Reddy Foxes got we'll they told
everybody in the woods that Mr.. Bear
made pies out of bees and he didn't
take the stings out of them, either.

RED CROSS is URGING
BETTER HEALTH BATTLE
Tireless in Services Advancing
Cause of Freedom from
Human Suffering.

Not alone in preparedness for emer-
| gencies, but in a tireless offensive
battle for better health is the Ameri-
peace time the high tradition of her
! war service. AS in war, the same
! self-effacing service for humanity
goes on it's quiet, effective way con-
tent in its accomplishments, seeking
no public acclaim. Enrolled in the
Red Cross Nursing Service are 40,636
Of these missioners of health, nearly
1000 carrying the message of finer
public health to as many communi-
ties and LOO teaching large classes in
home hygiene and care of the sick.
Exactly 100 Red Cross nurses are still
on duty overseas, helping the struggle
forward toward the high standard Of
American nurse efficiency in many
countries.
In the Government services 3,117 en-
rolled Red Cross nurses are on duty
with the Army, Navy, Public Health
Service and the Veterans Bureau,
while the entire active enrolment is
maintained as a reserve for the Army
Nurse Corps and available to the
Navy in national defense emergency.
Nine hundred nurses were added to
the roll the last year.
Red Cross nursing, however, has
perhaps it's finest expression out in
the places laid waste by fire, food and
storm, and in the back reaches far
from the centers Of population. In ev-
cry disaster the Red Cross nurse lis
first called for, first to respond. and
the last to leave her post of duty
among the suffering victims. In the
isolated sections of Alaska, North
Carolina, Virginia, Idaho, and among
the bleak islands OF Penobscott Bay.
Me-, her ministrations are making
hard lives easier and working for a
brighter future for the children. Her
Is increasingly important. although 1t
Is subdued by the very nature OF her
work
The policy of the American Red
Cross to establish under Chapter con-
troll public health nursing services in
communities lacking such facilities has
been justified and this pioneering work
is everywhere endorsed by authori-
ties who are quick to take 1t over as
proper municipal function and a duty
of taxpayers. The Home Hygiene and
Care Of the Sick program has further
penetrated into the schools as def.
mite part of curriculums. During the
year $4,000 school pupils took this
Red Cross course. Three telephone
corporations adopted it and graduated
$50 employee students.
AS good health depends upon right
eating the Red Cross Nutrition Ser
vice continued to promote individual
and community health, particularly the
health Of mothers and children. This
service reached nearly 10000 persons
during the year and found work to do
for several thousand Red Cross volun-
teer workers.

NEAR EAST DINNER
IN WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-The
most unusual dinner which President
Coolidge has attended during his fif-
teen months as Chief Executive of the
United States, was the Golden Rule
Dinner of the Near East Relief at the
New Willard Hotel here this evening.
Seated at plain pine tables, using
tin cups and earthenware bowls, the
600 guests partook of the simple
menu which is provided daily for the
thousands of refugee orphans who are
under American care in Persia, Ar
menia, Palestine and Greece.
The purpose of the dinner was to
inaugurate plans for the nationwide
observance of Golden Rule Sunday,
December 7th, on behalf of the Near
East Relief.
For the menu, Mrs. Frank B Noyes
chairman of the program committee.
had provided an exact replica of a
Persian orphanage meal,-Pilaf Ar
menienne, Macaroni, Black Bread
made from wholewheat flour, Stewed
Fruit with corn syrup, and Cocoa
with condensed milk The main dish
called "pilaf armenienne" proved to
be tasty connection of coated rice,
cooked in the Armenian style with
chopped meat and fragrant sauce of
herbs.
Although the menu was undoubted-
ly the most slender that has ever
been served in the New Willard ball
room there was scientific assurance
that it was sufficient for the needs Of
any ablebodied human being. A re-
port signed by the staff of the Ford
Hospital at Detroit stated that "after
study of the menu used for under
nourished children in the American
orphanages of the Near East. it is
found that they are amply sufficient
from the scientific point of view as a
balanced ration, in spite of the fact
that the average cost of these meals
is less than a third the average cost
OF meals in American homes"

Red Cross Fighting
First Aid Battle
To Conserve Life

Reliable records establish the fact
that more than $4,000 accidental
deaths occur every year in the United
States The records show that 206
American citizens are killed every
day: that 3S of these deaths are due
to automobiles. IS to falls. - to
drownings, 16 to burns
Facing such distressing sacrifice of
life is the First Aid Service of the
American Red Cross, fighting through
education and demonstration to instill
consciousness of safety in the public
mind and teaching approved methods
which assure that competent hands
will care for injured persons until the
arrival of doctors. Trained service in
the first few minutes is vital in
serious accidents and saves many
precious lives.
One Of the most encouraging signs
of the past year is the record Of the
Red Cross First Aid Insurance Car
No. which travelled 800 miles along
t-rnk lines. stopping at 1877 places.

gas and electric companies, public
service corporations and other large
employers Of the country adopted the
Red Cross course. and their team
contests everywhere were witnessed
by huge crowds with as much interest
as develops at popular athletic games
In the industrial field the growth Of
First Aid practice to fight to reduce
preventable accidents and unneces-
sary loss of life has resolved wide
recognition The promise of an I'M

cause lies in the evidence of the great
strides systematic instruction in First
