seven years, and by the scope Of its
proposed educational and entertain
ment program this year, the 1888 North
Montana State fair bodies well to step

Of exhibitors, and seventh in number
of exhibits. In the past seven years

I was introduced to Major Christ

Rogers had already set the machin-
cry in motion which would send a
sympathetic representative of a
Texas Red Cross chapter to see the
young wife and help plan an in
telligent solution of the problem.

he was particular liability in for

occurred, he was grounded, and
questioning revealed that concern
over distant mother who was
gradually losing her mind was be-

The Red Cross handled the case;
and when the pilot knew that all
that could be done had been, he
became himself again.
The men who hold down these
Red Cross posts at military sta

Each is carefully chosen. O'Brien,
for example, is small, nimble-mind-

enough; but that, since the address
was cemetery, the unfortunate
parent had ceased to all for a good
many years.
To my mind, one of the most
worthwhile things these military
post Red Cross men do is contact
the family of newly enlisted men.
A card sent to mother, and picked
at random, gives this information:
''We advise that your son has
enlisted and has been assigned
for duty with the infantry in
China. He is now at Fort SlO-
cum waiting to sail which will
probably be January 6, 1888, and

Last year the Red Cross at Gov

cards to next-of-kin of men recruit

no measuring stick to tell what
these routine notifications mean to
the folks back home, but the reply of

Overweight Burdens the Heort

Overweight Burdens the Heut
Fatty deposits increase the work
of the heart, because each extra
pound demands the pumping OF
additional blood. It has been esti-
mated that every pound of fat re-
quires six-tenths of mile of blood
vessels to nourish it! Thus, the in
dividual who is 20 pounds over
weight is carrying around IL miles
of excess blood vessels. Natural
ly, the heart must work faster and
harder to pump blood through
these extra miles, and it is not
surprising that it is frequently
overstrained.
Heart disease and high blood
pressure are often associated with
excess fat. So are diabetes and
kidney disease. And when fat
creeps around the abdominal mus
Giles, it may interfere with normal
elimination.

It seems that the Red Cross is of
equal help to the military authori-
ties. Human nature is human ma
ture, and skulduggery sometimes
wears puttees and brass buttons.
There was prepossessing lad who
wanted a transfer to Fort Jay from
distant post on the grounds that
he wished to be near his ailing ia
Their. 1t seemed the human thing to
do, but the field director-O'Brien
in this case-asked the Red Cross
chapter in New York to check the
story before taking action. Investi-
cation showed that the boys father

derly man surrounded by hand

ing left but the threadbare rem
nants of a tattered dignity.
The name of the Red Cross
field director was j. F. O'Brien.
Sitting behind his desk in the
Red Cross house-a few steps
from the ferry slip servicing
Governors island and Fort Jay
he heard the boy through
without a word. Now he asked
questions, then picked up
phone. Subsequently it all turned
out right; that figurative cavalry
troop, underwritten by the Red
Cross, did gallop to the rescue.
O'Brien contacted the Red Cross
chapter in the town where the boys
father lived, instructing the chapter
to verify the boys story (routine)
and advance money at once.
MelOQramatlc Finale.
So the old homestead was saved.
And the doughboy repaid OBrien
out of his pay, and O'Brien repaid
the chapter. It was the sort of job
other Red Cross field directors in
other military posts were doing all
over the country that same morning
for enlisted men of the army, navy,
marine corps and coast guard.
This Red Cross help for the en-
listed man and his family is an am
bilious undertaking. 1t began when
the country entered the World war.
Now more than go men like O'Brien
are stationed throughout the nation.
These trained workers and their as
sistants "cover" 206 army posts and
army general hospitals. They COW
er 408 coast guard stations; 127 navy
and marine corps stations; 10 navy
general hospitals and st. Elizabeth's
hospital in Washington, D. c.
O'Brien leaned back, frowning.
"Just what do we do?" he echoed
my question thoughtfully. ''Wel,
we act as link between the enlisted
man and his superior officer. And
we also act as link between the en-
listed man and his family. When
the boys get in trouble, they come
to us. They know that their conf
dences will never be Violated"
"Sort of an anita. w. o. L. agen-
cy," I suggested.

''What," I asked, care some of
the contributing factors which cause
a man to pick up and walk out
without the formality of asking per-

"Trouble at home, for one thing"
"Trouble at homer"
O'Brien thumbed through the pa
pers on his desk. Here's a job
we did yesterday. A boy whose
sister was critically ill. We ar
ranged a furlough so he could go
home and give blood TRANSMISSION.

Romance Is Rescued.
I asked O'Brien to give me an
other example of a Red Cross field
directors routine and he told me
about the doughboy, newly married,
who was to be transferred from Bill
boa, the Canal zone, to Fort Devons.
The army paid his expenses, natur-
ally, but what about the young wife
who must remain behind because
there was not money enough? Yes,
