lug statement on behalf of the War |
N Ootmcll of the American Red Cross:
"To the American People:
The War Council of the American
Bad Cross appointed by President Wil^
son on May 10, 1917, to carry on the
. work of the American Red Cross during
the war, at their request and by |
vote of the Central Committee, ceased
at midnight, February 28.
"Immediately the armistice was
signed the War Council instituted
studies to determine when the strictly
war work of the organization would
have been sufficiently matured to enI
able the direction of affairs to be resumed
by the permanent staff. Henry
DaVlson, being in Paris when the
' armistice was signed, summoned a
? conference there of the heads of all
the Red Cross Commissions In Europe
to canvass the situation. After consldering
all the factors it was coneluded
to make the transition on
? March 1. The very fortunate choice
of Dr. Livingston Farrand as the new
' 4 chairman of the Central Committee,
I' and thereby the permanent chief ex^
ecutive of the Red Cross, makes possi^
- ble the consummation of this plan under
the most favorable conditions.

information relative to all work

over its responsibilities to Dr. Farzand
and his associates* desire to give

i 0 activities to the American people, to
whom the Red Cross belong, and whose
feberous contributions have made pos*'
dble all that has been accomplished.
^ - ."During the past nearly twenty-one
; Months the American people have
given In cash and supplies to the
American Red Cross more than $400,000,000.
No value can be placed upon |
\A I the contributions of service which
have been given without stint and of;
tentimes at great sacrifice by millions '
:-'v of our people.
"The effort of the American Red
y v Cross in tills war has constituted by
far the largest voluntary gifts of
money, of hand and heart, ever con.
tributed purely for the relief of human
suffering. Through the Red Cross
tbe heart and spirit of the whole
American people have bedn mobilized
to take care of our own, to relieve the
misery incident to the war, and also
to reveal to the world the supreme
Ideals of our national life,

v titled to congratulate himself. No
thanks from anyone could be equal In
value to the self satisfaction every^
one should feel for the part taken.
Fully 8,000,000 American women have '
exerted themselves in Red Cross service.
Hu Over 17,000,000 Adult Members.
"When we entered the war the
' r American Red Cross had about 500,000
members. Today, as the result of the
recent Christmas membership Roil
Call, there are upwards of 17,000,000
full paid members outside of the members
of the junior Red Cross, numbering
perhaps 9,000,000 school children
additional.
"The chief effort of the Red Cross
during the war has been to care for
V our men in service and to aid our
army and navy wherever the Red
Cross may be called on to assist. As
to this phase of the work Surgeon General
Ireland of the U. S. Anny recent- j
ty said: The Red Cross has been an ,
ontomHsp ns vast as the war itself. !
? From the beginning it has done those
things which the Army Medical Corps
wanted done, but could not do itself.*
"The Red Cross endeavor in France
has naturally been upon an exceptionally
large scale where service "ias
been rendered to the American Army
s# and to the French Army and the
French people as well, the latter par- !
ticularly during the trying period
when the Allied World was waiting
for the American Army to arise in
force and power. Hospital emergency 1
% service for our army in France has
greatly diminished, but the Red Cross
is still being called upon for service
upon a large scale in the great base
hospitals, where thousands of American
sick and wounded are still receiving
attention. At these hospitals the
Red Cross supplies huts and facilities
for the amusement and recreation of
ibe men as they become convalescent.
Our Army of Occupation in German
far was followed with Medical units |
pared to render the same emerge
lid and supply service which was
primjr^" business of the Red Cr
^ luring hostilities. The Army Cant
ervice along the lines of travel
(ml, . -
actually increased since the armistice.
"As for work among the French people,
now that hostilities have ceased,
the French themselves naturally prefer
as far as possible to provide for
their own. It has accordingly been determined
that the guiding principle of
Red Cross policy in France henceforth
shall be to have punctilious regard to
Its every responsibility, but to direct
Its efforts primarily to assisting
French relief societies. The liberated
and devastated regions of France have
been divided by the government into
small districts, each officially assigned
to a designated French relief organization.
"The American Red Cross work in
France was initiated by a commission

shores June 13, 1917. Since then
some 9,000 persons have been upon the
rolls in France, of whom 7,000 were
actively engaged when the armistice
was signed. An indication of the present
scale of the work will be obtained
from the fact that the services of 6,000
persons are still required.
"Our American Expeditionary Force
having largely evacuated England, the
activities of the Red Cross Commission
there are naturally upon a diminishing
scale period. Active operations
are still in progress in Archangel and
Siberia.
"The work in Italy has been almost
entirely on behalf of the civilian population
of that country. In the critical
hours of Italy's struggle the American
people, through their Red Cross, sent
a practical message of sympathy and
relief, for which the government and
people of Italy have never ceased to
express their gratitude.
Supplies and Personnel to Near East
"The occasion for such concentration
of effort in Italv. Enaland. Bel
gium and even in France having naturally
and normally diminished, it has
been possible to divert supplies and
personnel in large measure to the aid
of those people in the Near East who
have hitherto been inaccessible to outside
assistance, but whose sufferings
have been upon an appalling scale.
The needs of these peoples are so vast
that government alone can meet them,
but the American Red Cross is making
an effort to /relieve immediately the
more acute distress.
"An extensive group of American
workers has been dispatched to carry
vitally needed supplies, and to work
this winter in the various Balkan countries.
In order to co-ordinate their activities,
a Balkan commission has been
established, with headquarters at
Rome, Italy, from which point alone
all the Balkan centers can be reached
promptly.
"A commission has just reached Poland
with doctors and nurses, medical
supplies, and food for sick children
and invalids. An American Red Cross
Commission has also been appointed
to aid in relieving the suffering of Russian
prisoners still confined in German
prison camps.
. "An important commission is still

Mr. Davison, as chairman of the International
Commission of the American
Red Cross, has undertaken to represent
the American Red Cross in the
preparation of the program for extend
ed Red Cross activities, and will spend
the next several months in Europe in
onsultation with other Red Cross soci"*s
for that purpose.

. Red Cross Will Continue.
"Red Cross effort is thus far flung.
It will continue to be so. But the
movement represented by this work
has likewise assumed an intimate place
in the daily life of our people at home.
The army of workers which has been
recruited and trained during the war
must not be demobilized. All our-experience
in the war shows clearly that
there is an unlimited field for service
of the kind which can be performed
with peculiar effectiveness by the Red
Cross. What Its future tasks may be
It is yet impossible to forecast. We
know that so long as there is an American
army In the field the Red Cross
will have a special function to perform.
"Nothing c-ouJd be of greater importance
to the American Red Cross than
the plans just set in motion by the five
great Red Cross societies of the world
to develop a program of extended activities
in the interest of humanity.
The conception involves not alone efforts
to relieve human suffering, but
to prevent it; not alone a movement
by the people of an individual nation,
but an attempt to arouse all people to

welfare of their fellow beings throughout
the world. It is a program both
Ideal and practical. Ideal in that its
supreme afcn is nothing less than veritable
"Peace on earth good will to
men," and practical in that it seeks to
take means and measures which are
actually available and make them effective
in meeting without delay the
crisis which is daily recurrent in the
lives of all peoples.
"For accomplishing Its mission In
the years of peace which must lie
ahead of us the Red Cross will require
the ablest possible leadership, and
ust enjoy the continued support, sympathy,
and participation in its work
of the whole American people. It is
particularly fortunate that such a man
as Dr. Livingston Farrand should have
been selected as the permanent head
of the organization. The unstinted
fashion in which ah our people gave
oj themselves throughout the war is
the best assurance that our Red Cross
will continue to receive that co-opera
SPRAYING AWAY THE'
BUGS. I
Control Measures For Orcb-;
ard And Garden. |
Clemson College.?Within the next
month the orchard trees will probably ;
j be in the proper stage for the spring j
! sprayings to control worms. Arsenate :
! of Lead should be purchased as soon
as possible and should not be put off ;
until the day the spraying should be j
done. Everyone who expects to have |
fruit without worms this summer
should consider the purchasing of
spray materials for the spring and
summer sprayings as an obligation
not to be neglected. The first spray-,
ing of peaches for worms should be
done when the petals have fallen and .
most of the shucks slipped, which is I
about ten days after full bloom. The
spraying of apples should be immedi-1
ately after all petals have fallen and
before the calyx closes.
In a mixed orchard where there are .
varipus types and ages of apple trees, j
two sprayings will be necessary, as all j
the trees will not be blooming at the
same time. Spray part of the trees |
when enough of the petals have fallen,
and the rest within a week or ten
days.
What Is Needed for Spring Sprayings.
For each fifty-gallon barrel of spray !
solution, one pound of arsenate of lead j
17VTTUCI U1 t?YW PUUUUO U1 j
lead paste ;and two pounds of un- j
slaked lime. In estimating the mate^ j
rials needed, the following schedule!
of amount of spray required on trees
i should be used:
60 very young peach or apple trees
per barrel.
35 peach trees in full bearing per
barrel.
35 apple trees in full bearing per
barrel.
20 large old-fashioned apple trees!
per barrel.
Write for Circular Number 25 for
directions for the spring and summer
sprayings.
Apple Lice: Apple trees when the
leaves begin to grow are very frequently
attacked by lice or aphis. The
young leaves curl and the tree's
growth is checked by the lice sucking
the plant juices. The fruit yield is
reduced and the fruit will be deformed
and poorly developed,?and this
also assists in spreading diseases. For
Control: Begin just as soon as the
lice are noticed on the tender young
leaves and when the leaves begin to
curl and turn yellow. Spray with nicotine
sulfate (also known as Black
Leaf 40), diluted at the rate of about
1 teaspoonful to 1 gallon of water, on
al>out % coffee-cup full to 50 gallons
of water. The nicotine can be "mixed
with the arsenate of lead spray and
be put on at the same time. Write
for bulletins on the Apple Lice.
Garden Insects for March and April.
Among the spring garden insects
which usually require attention during
March and April are the potato
beetle o* bug, the cabbage worm, and
the cabbage lice. Very little trouble
should be experienced in controlling
these pests. The main point in the
control is to watch the plants closely,
and on the first appearance of these
pests, start controlling them.
To Control the Potato Bug or
Beetle:?The most convenient and efficient
method is to dust the plants
with arsenate of lead powder or calarsenate.
Of course the plants can be
sprayed with a solution of these poi-\
sons with the same results. But the
dusting method is cheaper and more
easily done. Mix the poison thoroughly
with air-slaked lime in the proportion
of about half and half. A small
flour sack or a muslin or cheese-cloth
bag can be used to advantage to shake
the poison on the plants. Do this in
early morning when the dew is on
the plants for best results. Do not let
the bag become wet by touching the
wet plants.
To Control the Cabbage Worm:?
Use the same control measures for
the cabbage worm as for the potato
beetle. The prejudice that some have
against poisoning cabbage is an unfounded
one. Experiments show that
a person would have to eat 28 cabbages
at one time, if dusted in the ordinary
way, to receive any poisoning
effects. Begin to dust the cabbaga
with either of the two poisons mentioned
for the control of the potato
bug, when the worm noies are nrst noticed,
and continue this as long as
necessary.
Cabbage Lice:?A small grayish, or
greenish louse, which causes the plant
to wilt and die by sucking.
The cabbage louse gives birth to
living young throughout the summer
months, by the millions. During the
fall there is a generation of female
I lice which lay eggs. The winter is
1 passed in the egg stage.
Control: 1. Spray with nicotine
sulfate or Black Leaf 40?1 pint to
100 gallons water, or 1 tablespoon to
0 gallons water.
2. Spray with soap solution: 1 Tb.
iniindrv sr?nn in 2 crallons
UL U1 Uliiai J >.?" v.. ,, _ c,
of hot water. Shave the soap in thin \
pieces before heating. Dilute the 2 j
gallons of hot mixture to 4 gallons by j
adding 2 gallons of cold water.
If Black Leaf 40 cannot be obtained I
from local dealers, the nearest market |
is The Kentucky Tobacco Products j
Co., Louisville, Kv. Price of material, j
$1.25 per 1 pint.
Fall plowing or spading in the gar- j
den will kill many insects and bugs ]
that would otherwise pester you next
season.

A FAMILY
MEDICINE
In Her Mother's Home, Says This
Georgia Lady, Regarding BlackDraught.
Relief From Headache,
Malaria, Chills, Etc.
Ringgold, Ga.? Mrs. Chas. Gaston,
of this place, writes: "I am a user
of Thedford's Black-Draught; in fact,
it was one of our family medicines.
Also in my mother's home, when I
was a child. When any of us children
complained of headache, usually
caused by constipation, she gave us
a dose of Black-Draught, which would
vnn+1-Prr +Vi +r/\uh1a flffon In the
X VilO Vii VU k/iv* VAVUM ?-? ?
Spring, we would have malaria and
chills, or troubles of this kind, we
would take Black-Draught pretty regular
until the liver acted well, and
we would soon be up and around
again. We would not be without it,
for it certainly has saved us lots of
doctor bills. Just a dose of BlackDraught
when not so well saves a
lot of days in bed."
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
in use for many years in the treatment
of stomach, liver and bowel
troubles, and the popularity which it
now enjoys Is proof of its merit
If your liver is not doing its duty,
you will suffer from such disagreeable
symptoms as headache, biliousness,
constipation, indigestion, etc.,
and unless something is done, serious
trouble may result
'Thedford's Black-Draught has been
found a valuable remedy for these
troubles. It is purely vegetable, and
acts in a prompt and natural way,
regulating the liver to its proper
functions and cleansing the bowels of
impurities. Try it. Insist on ineaford's,
the original and genuine. E 79
