RED CROSS SANTA T0 FILL SOLDIERS’ SOCKS An Old Fashioned Celebration of Yuletide for American Soldiers in France. | A Christmas tree in every ward of’ pvery American hospital and in every | hospital recreation hut in France! | Every wounded or sick American fighting man to receive two socks filled to the brim with fruits, nuts candy pnd smokes! These are the most interesting fea- | tures of a tentative Christmas celebra- tion program for the American hos- pitals arranged by the American Red Cross in France in co-operation with the commanding officers of our fighting forces in that country. Details of the plan to make Christmas as merry as possible for the soldiers in these insti- | tutions have just been received at Red | Cross headquarters. Nurses and enlist- | ed men on duty at these places will | also share in the distribution of Christ- mas cheer. Because of the limited amount of available shipping space the Red Cross was compelled to aban- don its original plan to send special Christmas parcels from here to soldier patients in France. All the articles distributed will be obtained over there.. This is to be an old fashioned cele- pration in every sense of the word. Bvery soldier will hang his socks on the tree. The socks will be tied with red ribbon and in addition to the good- jes mentioned above will contain a handkerchief and ‘a card, on which will be outlined the services the Amer- fcan Red Cross is prepared to render our soldiers. Each soldier will re- ceive a sufficient number of Christmas postcards—unow Heinz designed by art- | jsts in the Red Crass service—to en- able him to write to members of his family and his frienas back home. The Christmas dinner, of course, will ! be one of the features of the celebra- | tion. After dinner there will be | musical entertainment, motion pic- ! tures and general singing. Equalizes Men, Creates Spirit of Broth- erhood and Takes Mind Off Busi- ness, Asserts Professor. | BENEFIT OF CHORAL SINGING | | Music gives utterance to something | within one which can never find ex- pression in words or acts, in the opin- | fon of A. I. Westbrook, director of music in the Kansas State Agricul- | tural college. Choral singing is of great benefit to a community. “Musie is of great advantage to men,” said Professor Westhrook., “It equalizes them, creating a spirit of brotherhood, and takes their minds off business. Tt gives them a new and different insight, which is accomplished not by singing the common popular songs, but by really good musie that ean be appreciated. : “the value of musie in bringing to- gether socially disorganized communi- ties kas never been fully realized. By choral singing, people in any one lo- ! eality can he brought into certain sym- pathy with one another. Wherever there is a neighborhood there is a chance for singing. A leader is need- ed who will select only the best musie. Where neighboring groups have been singing the same kind of good mus:e they will find in any large community gathering that they Lave something in eommoir and will be ready to take part In choral singiny on an even larger scale, “If an orchestra playing Beethoven played in a community unused to such anusic, there would break forth from the audience an unrestrained applause such as comes only from people who are really hungry for good music—the kind of music that community musical societies will bring to them.” Portion of Covernment Allowance Re- guired to Bs Allotted for Benclit of Their Dependents. Every enlisted man in the wmilitory or naval forces of the United States must allot for the benefit of a wife or | ¢hild an amount equal to the govern- ment’s family allowance, with a maxi mum, however, of haif.his pay and a minimum of $15 per month, according to the American Review of Reviews. If he has no wife or child and makes no voluntary allotments for other de- ‘pendents, or for other purposes, the secretary of war or navy may require him to deposit with the government at 4 per cent compound interest half his pay, or so much of half his pay as‘he ‘does not allot either for &iis dependents tor for other purposes. This puts the man with dependents imore nearly on a democratic footing of equality with one who has none and the better-paid American soldier with the poorer-paid European with whom he is fighting. The family allowances are based on nn graduated sc¢ale depending on the ‘mber of dependents, and are condi- ied on allotments of equal amounts to half pay. In no case, however, 3 the allowance exceed $50 for one ily. An ordinary enlisted man re- | ving $33 per month indforeign serv- ion, if his family is 1a '~e ernugh, may required to alot $16.50 per month i secure thereby for his family a to- tal income of $6C.50 per month. .

C.—(Special.)—Ac¢ @ cording to a report made to the United | States Pubic Health Service, the epi: demic of influenza in Spain has al | <i ready caused an increase in the previ lence and deaths from pulmonary tu, berculosis. A similar association be tween influenza and tuberculosis was recently made by Sir Arthur News holme, the chief medical officer of the : Inglish public health service, in hig : analysis of the tuberculosis death rate ! in England. i In order that the people of the Unit: | ed States may profit by the experience | 1 of other countries Surgeon General | tupert Blue of the United States Pub- | lic Health Service has just issued a | warning emphasizing the need of spe- | cial precautions at the present time. | “IIxperience seems to indisate,” says | the Surgeon General, “that persons | ! | ! whose resistance has been weakened | | by an attack of influenza are peculiar | | ly susceptible to tuberculosis. With { millions of its people recently affected | | with influenza this country now of- | fers conditions favoring the spread of | tuberculosis.” One Million Consumptives in the United States. “Then you consider this a serious menace?” was asked. “In my opinion it is, though I hasten to add it is dis- ‘tinctly one against which the people can guard. So far as one can estimate there are at present about one million ‘cases of tuberculosis in the United States. There is unfortunately no actly the number of tuberculosis pet- | sons in euch state despite the fact that | most of the states have made the dis- | ‘ease reportable. In New York city, where reporting has been in force for | many years, over 35,000 cases of tu- berculosis are registered with the De- | partment of Health. Those familiar I with the situation believe that the ad- dition of unrecognized and unreported | cases would make the number nearer’ | 50,000. The very careful health sur- | vey conducted during the past two year: in Framingham, Mass., revealed | 200 cases of tuberculosis in a popula- tion of approximately 15,000. If these proportions hold true for the United States as a whole they would indicate | | that about one in every hundred per- sons is tuberculous. Each of these constitutes a source of danger to be | guarded against.” What to Do. | In his statement to the public Sur. geon General Blue points out how | these who have had influenza should | protect themselves against tuberculo- | sis. “All who have recovered from in- | fluenza,” says the Surgeon General, i “should have their lungs carefully ex- i amined by a competent physician. In | fact, it is desirable to have several ex- | aminations made a month apart. examinations cannot be made through the clothing nor can they be carried out in two or three minutes. If the lungs are found to be free from tuber- | culosis every effort should be made to | keep them so. This can be done by | right living, good food and plenty of | fresh air.” | | { | Danger Signs. i The Surgeon General warned espe- | cially against certain danger signs, ! such as “decline” amd “colds which hang on.” These, he explained, were often the beginning of tuberculosis. “If you do not get well promptly, if your cold seems to hang on or your health and strength decline, remember that these are often the early signs of tuberculo- sis. Place yourself at once under the care of a competent physician. Tuber- culosis is curable in the early stages. Patent Medicines Dangerous in Tuber. culosis. “Above all do not trust in the mis- leading statements of unscrupulous i patent medicine. fakers. There is no specific medicine for the cure of tuber- culosis. The money spent on such medicines is thrown away; Jit should be spent instead for good food and de. cent living.” Harry E.auder on Drink. In a recent article published by : “Association Men,” Harry Lauder, the comedian, grave this personal tes- timony: Noman can be successful and drink. Tt does not matter who he is, soldier or civilian. VW hen I started on the stage somebody said, “Well, it is a great life for “dissipation and drink- ing.” “Well,>> I said, “If there is any | success to be Tad through being so- ber and steady, I will get it,” and I i took a vow that I would not touch, ‘ taste or handle strong drink of any description until I had made a name | for myself. Now that I have made | my name knowwn all over the world, 1 see more necessity for doing the thing that is right than ever before in er- der to hold thhaat reputation. There is more need now for me to be sober and steady, for I zm looked upon as an example.” Pioneer Umbrella Carrier. The first man in England to brave public opinion by carrying an umbrel- la was Jonas Hanway, who died in London 132 years ago. The umbrel- la had been used for centuries on the continent and in England as early as the reign of Queen Anne, but its use was confined to the fair sex. After returning from a business mission to Persia Hanway's health became poor, and when venturing into .the streets in rainy weather he protected himself by an umbrella. He was subjected to jeers and taunts, but he persisted, and soon a few other brave spirits joined him in carrying umbrellas. The great- ' est opposition came from the hack- ney coachmen and they usually led the mobs which attacked the carriers of umbrellas. They feared the um- brella would afford sufficient protec- tion in rain and so deter the public from hiring their vehicles.—Ex.
