THE BADGE OF HONOR.

There come times in the history OF the
American Red Cross when everything
ie ont go-that is, lavish expenditure OF
funds is made for the relief OF distress
of many kinds such as hunger, loss OF
homes. replacement Of clothing and
household effects and working nipple
monts lost through fire, flood, hurricane
and the like.

less there were periods OF replacement
of funds. times when the Red Gross
treasury is reflIed after being emptled
for the relief of the distressed, in order
that it NAV meet the next demand-a
demand that may come without a mo-
ment's warning 10 any of the American
nossessions or in any part of the world,
for the heart of the Red Cross is as
bio as the world and its helping hand
Stretches far and withholds not.
One of these times of replenishlng the

that preparedness is the keynote of Red

Art is something that must be public in its nature ii
