ALWAYS AT WORK TO RELIEVE
DISTRESS

Since 1905 the American Red Cross
has given relief to S54 disasters In
the United States alone. "A year sci.
dom passes without major calamity
due to tornado, earthquake, fire or
flood. The Red Cross in each case has
remained on the job until relief was
completed.
Last year the Midwest tornado
which struck five states was the out
standing relief operation by the Red
Cross. The Florida hurricane in Sep
TENDER created problem which ex-
ceeded in proportions any disaster
since the San Francisco fire.
BY joining the American Red Cross
every American can do his part to
make its services continuously effec-
tive. The Annual Roll Call from No
vember II to rs, this year. is your op-
portunity.

PROGRESSIVE RED
CROSS CAMPAIGN
FOR HEALTH
Public Health Nursing, Nutrition
and Home Hygiene Work
Cover the Country.

Important contributions to public
health were made by the American
Red Cross through its Public Health
Nursing Service, Nutrition Service,
and in instruction in Home Hygiene
and Care of the Sick. In every State
and Alaska, with the exception Of
Delaware and Nevada, instruction
was given by the Red Cross, also in
the Philippines, Hawaii, Porto Rico,
and Virgin Islands. A total of $3.50
women and girls learned to make a
hygienic home, and care for the sick
in their homes.
The United States Public Health
Service estimates that adequate rural
health nursing service would cost
$2O,000,0O0 annually, but would save
billion dollars in value of human
life, earning power, and economic con-
servation. The American Red Cross,
through it's Public Health Nurses, of
whom there were nearly 500 on duty
the past year, is doing its part in
meeting this requirement.
The Red Cross, through its nutri-
ton Service, taught thousands what
to eat for health. In this country, "A
States were served with from one to
ten Red Cross Chapter nutrition pro-
grams in each State. In S8 States,
nutrition instruction was given either
through the regular nutrition instruc-
tors or through volunteer dietitians.
During the school year an average
Of 15,413 individuals month, ,includ-
ing parents, teachers, pre-school, and
school children, were assisted to
better knowledge of food in its rela-
ton to health, and how to apply 1t to
their daily lives. In March, 111,219
individuals received this instruction,
while during the year 1858 classes
were conducted and $3.50 conferences
and home visits were given by nutri
tionists, thus reaching thousands, of
individuals.
The Annual Roll Call for Member
ship from November II to rs is an in
vitation to all persons to assist In
maintenance of such services through
another year by enrolling in the
American Red Cross.

ALASKAN REINDEER INDUSTRY
DEVELOPED FROM SMALL
HERD


The reindeer industry in Alaska,
though still in its infancy, promises,
with proper guidance, to become an
important factor in the future
development of the Territory, says
the Biological Survey of the United
States Department OF Agriculture in
a recent bulletin on reindeer grazing
in Alaska. 1t is comparatively a
recent undertaking and as a conf
mercial enterprise dates back only
few years. From the original stock
of 1880 animals imported from
Siberia over a period of 10 years up
to 1902. the reindeer in Alaska have
now increased to about $4,000
animals, distributed in ITO herds.
In addition to the numbers in
present herds, it is estimated that
about $4,000 have been killed for
food and clothing. During the
period from 1918 to 1926 more than
1,S75,O00 pounds of reindeer meat
was shipped from Alaska, the total
for 1928 being nearly 100000
pounds, for 1924 about $4,000
pounds, and for 1925 approximately
$4,000 pounds. With continued
development, there promises to be
steady increase in the output, says
the department. Steers for butch
ering sold in 1925 for $40 to $12 a
head. Breeding stock is valued at
SIS to $50 head, and the average
cost of production for each animal
is about 81 a year. At Nome and
st. Michael reindeer meat retails at
Is to 20 cents pound.
The natural cold-storage facilities
of Alaska have been 1used advan-
dangerously. in handling reindeer
meat. In areas adjoining the Arctic
coast solid ice is reached within
or feet of the surface and extends
downward to great depths. During
the winter Of 1925 one chamber
large enough to hold 100 carcasses
was excavated in the underground
ice. In the spring the carcasses thus
stored were removed in excellent
condition for shipping.

HOPE
From State Dept. of Health.

|
Ignorance, secrecy and fear, were
pointed out, at the Cancer meeting
held in Baltimore recently under
the joint auspices of the medical
societies and the State Federation
of Women's Clubs, Sas the greatest
stumbling blocks in the way Of help
for the victims of cancer.
1t was shown that twenty-five
years ago, from one half to nine
tenths of all the cancer cases ended
hopelessly. During the last five
years, the number of hopeless cases
has been reduced to four tenths,
or even less than that, of the
cancer patients. The improvement
was first noted about 1920 when
results began to be seen of the
better understanding on the part of
both medical and lay people, of the
vital Importance of early recognition
and prompt treatment of the can
cerous condition. 1t was agreed
that the possibility of greater i'm
provement depends largely upon the
more general realization that early
recognition offers hopeful outcome
while delay will in all probability
be fatal
Cancer is almost one and half
times more prevalent in the white
population in Maryland, in proper
ton to the total population Of both
races, than in the colored, according
to the records of the Bureau of
Vital Statistics of the State Depart
ment of Health. Moreover, the
figures show that in the white
population, cancer is responsible for
more deaths than even tuberculosis.
In 1925, cancer had the fourth place
in the causes of death in the white
population, and tenth in the colored.
During the year, out of total of
16,140 deaths from all causes in the
white population, there were 1435
deaths from cancer; 606 in the
counties and 829 in Baltimore City.
In the colored population, out Of a
total of $500 deaths, there were 1873
from cancer; 80 in the counties and
log in Baltimore City.
''It is impossible to overemphasize
the Importance of the early recog-
milton of cancer" DR.. John S. Full
ton, Director of the State Depart
ment of Health, said in commenting
on these figures" While the actual
cause of cancer is not known,
research workers have found that
the eancerous condition begins with
a single local growth. If immediate
attention is given, and well trained
doctor or surgeon is the one to
decide what that treatment must be,
there is hope for a successful out
come. No help can be gotten from
quacks or from patent medicines.
Any suspicious growth or unfavor-
able condition of the skin or any
part of the body should be i'm
mediately brought to the attention
of your doctor. That way lies
hope"
