The Am or I ran lied Cross has launched upon a nation wide campaign <>f lighting disease and physical defect among the American people. A new land unique health institution has come 'into being as the result of several (months' study by ihe lied Cross Health (Service Department at National Ileadjquarters. Officials in charge of the depait^ient ^predict that before long this new Kwilth [activity will he in actual operation all H>ver the country, and that the sign? r* American lied Cross Health Center" [?will become as familiar to the people everywhere as are now the sigus of [the telegraph companies. Busy Long Before War. The interest of the American Tied <5ros? In the fight against disease is not, however, of recent origin. Long before the war the organization began 'this health service through Its medical units In disaster relief work and its department of Town and County Nursing. During the war and following the armistice thousands of American Jted Cross officials have been fighting disease in the war-stricken countries. At the same time tens of thousands of local Red Cross oftlcials have been engaged &t home fighting disease, notat>ly during the influenza epidemics. The American P.ed Cross has determined that all this valuable experience in health service abroad and at ibome shall not go to waste. So long there are a half a million people dying yearly.

How Organization Works. The Hod Cross Health Center 1? governed hy business principles, applies business n*?thods, and, in 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 itself in a storeroom in the principal business section of the community. It displays its goods in the form of atj tractive health exhibits in its show windows. It advertises constantly and extensively. And it uses cve#ry busi| ness and social device to attract customers. The Red Cross Health Center is of ! service to the sick in that it gives out j reliable and complete information ; about existing clinics, hospitals, sanaj toria and other institutions for the sick and the defective; about available | nurses, both trained and practical; about when to consult, a physician and why to shun the quack and his nostrums. Teaching Disease Prevention. | The Red Cross Health Center is, however, of even greater service to the well. Tt teaches people how to prei vent sickness and disease. This Is done In many interesting and attractive , ways?first of all, by the distribution of popular health literature and through health lectures illustrated with lantern slides or with health motion i picture films. Then special exhibits are ! given, one after the other, on various i health subjects. Practical demonstrai tlons are made; also health playlets by ' children to Interest and Instruct them selves and their elders. Classes are organized In personal hygiene, home care of the sick, first aid and in food I selection and preparation Health Best In eries T RY GROCERY" ; of the best in Staple and e yon that we can fill your you goor- fresh goods and cleanliness, quality, and ltry Produce, and everyhousewife in getting the us for what you want and good things to cat.

Already more than a hundred of these Red Cross Health Centers are In actual operation throughout the country. Many of them also conduct medical clinics, but the one chief, outstanding feature of the American Red Cross Health Center Is its health education service which teaches well people how to keep well. FRENCH PRAISE FOR OUR RED CROSS WORK Lauding the work accomplished by American philanthropy for warstricken France, Andre Tardleu, former high commissioner from that nation to the United States, In a recent article widely commented on throughout the French press, says: "The American Red Crosa has accomplished a work which calls for the heartfelt gratitude of every true Frenchman. In 1918 this great relief organization speatfNta behalf of France nearly 87.000.000 francs, and In 1919 Its expenditures on charitable projects in our country attained the tremendous total of 171,000,000. It lias recently turned over to the French relief organizations huge stoeks of supplies whose value must be counted In the hundreds of thousands of francs. "Fifteen million American boys and girls, banded together in the Junior Red Cross of America. are back of a movement to establish the closest ties between themselves and France's younger generation through the char Itable works they hnve financed and aiv now currying out among onr little war sufferers. "The fconds of friendship between France and America Is cemented with , mutual udmJratlon, respect ami gratl < tude." 1 , AMERICAN RED CROSS : ; TO GIVE RURAL HELP; Program for Public Health and, Community Welfare Is Now j Well Under Way. - ' Ituml communities and towns of less ! than S.onn population benefit in a very | large part by the public health and i cemmunity welfare work of the American Red Cross. Almost all of the | tt.GOO Rod Cross chapters have some rural sections in their territory. There[ foro the Rod Cross Rural Service. . Kriefly, the purpose of Rural Servi ice is to assist people to get out of life more health, wealth and happiness. In ! this purpose public health instruction ' and general educational nrouress of both children and adults play a big | part. Recreation is found to be one of the biggest needs in rural life. There is lack of sufficient play-life for the chili dren and social life for the adults. Picnics, pageants, debating clubs, baseball leagues, community singing and other social events which bring the people of surrounding communities together have been organized and carried on under the guidance of Red i Cross rural workers to great advan! tage. In many Instances solving recj reational problems and getting people [ together proves to be the awakening ! of the community to otlier conditions which may be improved by united action. As a result of community organization, townships in which there had ! been neither plans nor Interest in community progress have been organized to work together with the unified purpose of bringing their community up to the most enlightened standards. Lecture and musical entertainment courses have been started as a result of community meetings, as well as circulating libraries, Red Cross schools of msirucnen in Home Nursing, Care of the Sick and First Aid. In the larger towns the need for restrooms and public comfort stations Is being met. Playgrounds for the children have been established and recreational activities worked out for the year. In order that there may be concerted effort in carrying on the programs of the various welfare agencies in the rural districts, Red Cross Rural Service helps the organizations already on the ground. The main object of the service is to lend a hand everywhere and take the lead only where neces?ary. PAINT PROTECTION AND IT8 ECONOMY The preservation of structural ma | terlals, which may be obtain*! through ; the application of paint, constitutes j most vital means of furthering the con- | servatlon of our natural resources. It , moreover, the most economical I method of sustaining the appearand and general upkeep of any community. A structure coated with sheets of India rubber would not be as well protect ed from decay as a structure coateo with a Rood oil pnlnt. This Is due tc \ the fact that a sheet of rubber Is no! ; bo durable or as waterproof as a thin t dried film of paint. The latter mate j rial when applied dries to a continuous I elastic film containing finely divided | particles of metallic, wear reslstlna j ! pigments. A square foot of such 1 ' film upon a wooden surface costs less! than a penny, yet It will beautify and I protect a dollar's worth of surface for j | many years. This Is a low rate of in-. surance, I I RED CROSS RELIEF IN CENTRAL EUROPE But for timely assistance of the American Red Cross during the last year, a large proportion of the 20,000,000 population of the Balkan States might have starved or perished from disease or exposure. Six million dollars worth of food, clothing and medical supplies have been sent to the Balkans?Koumania, Bulgaria, Albania, Montenegro, Serbia, Bosnia and Greece ?since the beginning of Bed Cross relief operations in Central Europe, while millions of dollars worth of food alone has been sent to the needy in these states. The money expended by the Red Cross in tills stricken portion of Europe has been used to set up hospitals, orphanages, dispensaries, mobile medical units and to help In the general reconstruction of devastated areas. AmerIlcan tractors and other farming Implements have been sent to the agricultural regions where aid has been given In plowing the land. By the last of this year probably all American Red Cross agencies ad- j ministering relief In Central Europe will have withdrawn. By that time, It Is believed, the people will hare approached n normal state of living and wlil Sp tMe through their own agencies which the Rod Cross has helped ?et up to provide for themselves, o tl/ 111. !..
