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.

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.

Washington, D. 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.
