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.

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. In this country from pre#

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

Already more than a hundred of
these Red Cross Health Centers are In
actual operation throughout the country.
Many of them also conduct medical

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 <

, 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

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,
