H NATIONWIDE FIGHT AGAINST DISEASE I ' I | American Red Crow Will Have Health Center* 10 AM Parts of United State* The American Red Oroea has tnangfr ed upon a nation wide campaign of figbtlng dlaeaa* and physical defecl auiong tip American people. A Haw aud unique health institution bM come Into being aa tbe reault of fevoral month*' atudy by the Hod Croat uoalth Service Department at National Head quarters. Officials In charge of tba departaaeoi predict that before long thla new health activity will be In actual operation all over the country, and that the algn "American Red Oroos Health Center' ? will become aa tonsillar to tbe poo pi* everywhere aa aro now the ?'l?1 ?* tbe telegraph companies. Buoy L**? ilaf era. War. The Interest of the American Red Oroaa in the fight agalnat diaeaao la hot, boweVer, of recent origin. Long before the Wair the organisation bega* thla health airvlce through Its asedlcal unlta In diaaater relief work and It* department of Town and County Nnra Ing. During ine war and following tly arrblstlco thousands of American Red Croaa officiate have been fighting disease in the trlir-rft'rlcfcen countrlea. At tha same time fena of thousands of locSl rfed Cross officials have been en gaged at h?mo lUfhtlng disease, nota nly during the i&nu^naa 'epidemics. The Am^rjckh ?ed Cross haa de termined tlhat all tnla valuable experl en re ill health fcervfte abroad and at home shall not go to waft?. 80 long aa there are a half a million people dylhg yearly !n thla >oun(ry from pre ventable causes, and so long aa more than one-third of the American chil dren and young people are victims of physical defects, the Red Cross recog nizee the urgent need for continued lied Cross health service at home. How Organization Worka. The Red Cross Health Center if* governed by business- principles, ap plies business methods, and, In f Its more simple form, can be established and conducted by lay people. It proceeds" upon the demonstrated fact that health is a commodity that can be bought and sold like brooms and soap. Therefore, it establishes it self In a storerotrtn In the principal business section of the community. It displays its goods in the form of at tractive health exhibits In Its show windows. It advertises constantly and extensively. And It uses every busi ness and social device to attract cus tomers. The lied Cross Health Center ls?/>f aervlce to tbe sick in that it gives out reliable and complete Information about existing clinics, hospitals, sana toria ami other Institutions for the sick and the defective; about available j nurses, both trained and practical; ; about when to consult a physician and j why to slum the quack and his nos trums.. Teaching Disease Prevention. The Ked Cross Health < 'enter is. | howe\er, of oven greater service to the well. It teaches, people how to pre vent sickness and dVernse. This Is d>>nf . in many Interesting and attractive ? ways first of nil. by the distribution I of p..-pu':tr._ health? ? lluuuume aud? through health lectures illustrated with 4H1 Vv ,4 )r b ' picture films.

Health I ; clubs, both for younger and older poo- . pie, are formed; also Little Mothers' I League*. Nutrition and growth clinics ' are conducted for children. Already ? more than a hundred of j these lied Cross Health Centers are in j actual operation throughout the cnun- ' try. Many of them also conduct mcd j icftl clinics, but the one chief, om- | standing feature of the American Red j Cross Health f'enter i<* its health edu- } cation service which teaches well peo- ; pie how to keep well.

The North Atlantic has 18 dry dock?; the {South Atlantic and (iulf lias one, a small one, at Charleston. During the past session of Confess ?two bills "Svere Introduced by Kepub llean Senators which would discon tinue the appropriation for the deep cuing of the channel at Charleston, and the construction of a tremen dous dry dock at thait place, it was by my effort's In the Senate that these bills were not. pressed and the work in Charleston is now going on.
