WHAT IS WORSE
THANWAR?
Consumption Four Times More
\ Deadly Than Bombs and
Machine Guns.
f ???
Pierre Hamp, a French medical auestimates
that of the 38,000,000
people of all ages still living in
France 4,000,000 must die of tuberculosis.
The war will have killed about
1,000,000. This means that man with
all <vf His in-cpntivonoco is far locc offi
. ? ? v-v.. V4A*
dent than Nature as a man killer.
There have been over 400,000 new
cases of consumption in France since
the war began, $his is why, despite
the number of new hospitals, there is
still not sufficient space available for
tuberculosis cases.
The Question of Pensions.
Of course first consideration is accorded
to the ever popular wounded
men. Therein lies the tragedy of the
consumptive soldier. With the new
cases coming in daily from the
trenches the consumptives are not
as helpless as the wounded men.
.When discharged from the army the
severely wounded are allowed a pension
by the government The consumptives,
however, receive no allowance
unless they can prove that their
illness is entirely due to their service
/ in the army. This is not an easy thing
to do, and consequently comparatively
few consumptives receive governmental
assistance.
Until the American Red Cross began
to extend its aid the plight of most of
these men was often pitiful. When
discharged from the hospital they are
given certain instructions which would
eventually bring them back to health.
But conditions are hard. They are
usually unable to earn much and so do
not get proper or even sufficient nourishment
Very often they are in, no
condition to look after themselves, still
less to safeguard the health of others.
To meet this difficulty local committees
have been formed to look after
the discharged patients and see that
they do not pass on their disease to
members of their families. The task
\ Is well nigh hopeless, Eyen If proper
jitving' quarters are to be had sanitaand
hygiene cannot be taught
'Overnight They sleep in air tight
rooms, kiss their babies, drink out of
*<he same cups and use the same towels
:4m the rest of their families.
r la spite of these appalling difficulties,
however, the rapid spread of the
disease must?simply must? be checked.
Even to attempt this would be an
Impossibility without the, tremendous
facilities and aid of the American Red
Cross. No other agency could conceivably
faoe. much less hope to ao
coraplish, such a task.

HOT DRINKS FOR 1
TIRED FIGHTERS
The Red Cross Roiling
| Canteen.
In six months the American Red
Cross supplied a million French poilus
with hot coffee, tea, chocolate, bouillon,
at the time they needed it most?just
as they were entering the communication
trenches for a tour of duty under
boche fire or coming out, tired and
worn, after their grueling vigiL If
you were dragging the tiredest pair
of feet in France through the mud,
and if yon were greeted by a cheery
voice and a steaming pint of beef tea,
wouldn't it be "a grand and glorioui
feelin'? Oh, boy!" '
Now, this is the work of the "rolling
canteen," and some day a Kipling
will sing "the story of the tanks"?
tanks of broth and bouillon that the
Red Cross "Special Front Line Service"
trundles up to the lines. The
Military Sanitary Service supplies the
wagona and ntensils. The Red Cross
unit does the work. It supplies these
hot drinks at a cost of 50 francs ($10)
per thousand men, a cent apiece!
Think of that?the penny your little
girl sends the Red Cross can buy a big
hot cheering drink, a good natured
greeting, for a fighting man who desperately
needs just that I One penny!
Red Cross Rolling Canteens to the
numbe? of 15 are now behind the lines
in continuous service. Their crews
are exposed to shell fire and often
have to put on gas masks.
Bngene Hale, brother of United
^tates Senator Hale, served six
months with a rolling canteen in
France, and he says:
"While the men are glad to hare the
hot drinks, their chief satisfaction congists
In the s^nse this service gives
them of a friend being there with a
% helping hand in a critical hour."
