W. J. WRIGHT ' Continuing the Anniversary Clean-Up Sale » * . ’ 'o of Broken Suites, Odd, Shop-worn and j Damaged Furniture -- ‘ - SELDOM have the people of this section had the opportunity to purchase high grade, dependable furniture, such as we are offering in this sale, at the rockbottom prices we are quoting. That they are alive to these facts is demonstrated by the number who took advantage of the bargains offered during the opening days of the sale. The furniture included in this sale is all staple goods, but some of it is slightly damaged in shipping or shop-worn, while some is composed of pieces from suites, the remainder of which has been sold. * J ‘ Rather than carry these pieces indefinitely and wait for the buyer who is sure to come in time, I have decided to eliminate all profit to clean up my stock and dispose of this furniture at once. Several of the choice pieces have been sold, but a large number still remain. Space forbids enumerating all of them, but we quote prices on some. Look over this list and call and be shown the goods.

Junior Red Croat Open To All School Children

Announcement is of the launching of a Junior Red Cross, membership in which will be open to all school children of, the United States. Through this organization it is planned to recognize,the loyalty and ability of the -22,000,000 boys and girls of school age in this country, and provide a channel forstheir patriotic service through Red Cross work. The plan\for a Junior Red Cross has been worked out by Dr. H. N. MacCfacken, president of Vassar College, who is now at National Headquarters devoting himself to the nation-wide organization of this movement. Dr. MacCracken has had the assistance of many educational authorities. As adopted by the Red Cross War Council, the plan of organization of the. Junior Red Cross is as follows: -1 I. There shall be a Junior Red Cross Membership, with djaes of twenty-five cents a year, open to all children of school age arid in actual attendance upon school, whether public, private, or parochial, within the borders of tha United States and its dependencies/ This membership shall run for the term of the school S/ear. 11. Red Cross Junior Membership shall be granted only through recogniged schools, and only to the entire student body of each school when a sum equal to 25 cents for each pupil shall have been deposited to its credit in the Sschool Supply Fund, hereinafter described; or when in special instances by decision of the treasurer of the Chapter School Fund, supplies exceeding in value of material, a sum equal to 25 cents for each pupil shall have been contributed by the school to the treasurer of the Chapter School Fund. 111. Any school, upon payment of the membership fund to the Treasurer of the Chapter School Fund,shall have the right to be a School Auxiliary of the Red Cr6ss Chapter in its territory, and shall have the right to display a special Red Cross banner, with space provided thereon for recording succeeding years of membreship. IV. Each pupil of the school thus accepted as a School Auxiliary of the local Chapter, shall have the right to Red Cross Junior Membership without further payment or formality of any kind, and have the right to wear the Red Cross Membership button. Teachers of the school shall be members Ex Officio of the Red Cross Junior Membership. Plans are under way to organize Junior Red Cross Auxiliaries in the Rensselaer Public Schools, commencing Monday, December 10th. As this is an enterprise having the hearty endorsement of the President, it is hoped that the patrons of the schools will lend their aid in establishing this worthy movement. Knitting has already become the fashion among the children and they are most enthusiastic about the work. With the fund collected from the dues it will be possible to make many useful articles, so badly needed in this present war time.

Buying Penny Seals Is Insuring Health of Soldiers and Homes

By Dr. C .J. Mclntyre

“Many persons have not thought of anti-tuberculosis work as war work, although reports from the French Army have called attention to the need of effort along this line. Reports from our own army will soon bring this need nearer home. “Recently while examining picked men in a Southern training camp we

found active tuberculosis in approximately one man out of every hundred, and there was found evidence of healed tuberculosis in one out of every four. No one can tell how many of these may again become active when the men are exposed in the trenches. “Let us not lose sight of the antituberculosis campaign while contributing to the many other war works. Fighting tuberculosis is a war work. Who but the anti-tuberculosis societies will care for the afflicted in the soldier’s family? Who will care for the discharged tuberculosis soldier? Who will guide him to recovery if we fail to adequately finance our anti-tuberculosis societies? “The subscription to the Red Cross seal campaign should appeal to us much the same as an insurance premium. If individuals, partnerships corporations can afford to insure themselves and employes against illness and death, why should not every individual give to Jthe Red Cross seal campaign and by so doing aid those already afflicted with tuberculosis, prevent the infection of those now well, and by so doing insure against the possibility of oneself andAfamily becoming invalids and useless as producers at a time when every one should work?”
