Turin Home For Tubercular Children

TURIN COLONIA PROFIL, ATTICA FOR TUBERCULOUS CHILDREN

TURIN AMERICAN RED CROSS HOME FOR CHILDREN OF SOLDIERS

®F ONLY American children could know how the children of Italy love them as far-away brothers and sisters —well, here Is a true story from Turin, Italy, for girls and boys back home. Just outside of Turin is a great building that used to be a farmhouse. Now it Is a home for boys and girls who are not strong. They are children of the very poor and if they remained in dark houses and did riot have enough to eat, they would never get well. The officers of the American Red Cross went out to "the farm recently and saw the children go through the drills that will give them strength, They made a brave showing in their red shirts, like small soldiers of Garibaldi, and it was easy to see by the look on their faces that they intended to win the fight they were making to be strong like other boys. Of course they were told about the millions of children, members of the American Red Cross, who are helping on the other side of the Atlantic and wjio send with their gifts, their love to the children of Italy whose fathers have been In the war for three years against a cruel enemy—the enemy of the world, Gerftiany. After listening to this story of the love of the American boys and girls across the sea, a small boy sidled mp to Major Taylor, the Turin delegate of the American Red Cross, and overcoming his shyness asked: “May we •end something to our little friends In America?” Then before anyone could tell what was happening these poor little children brought from their pockets all they had, big Italian copper pennies, and poured them into Major Taylor’s hands. Several ran Into the farmr house to get thejr treasure, which they had so carefully guarded. Some looked long at their pennies tied in a handkerchief. It was a hard struggle to part with it, fpr it meant,.a bit of pastry or something sweet or, maybe, something for their parents. But the struggle was brief and out came the coin and the boy or girl dropped it into the American officer’s hand with a smiling face. “For America,” they said, and surely there never' were gifts that came from hearts more* loyal and true. Major Taylor had tiny American flags for them all, and the little fellows kissed them as if in that way they were greeting the boys and girls of America. And they ran to the au-» tomoblle on which a red. cross was painted and pressed their lips against

Find Old Cistern

Laborers excavating Park street, Ashtabula, 0., prior to the construction of a new pavement, discovered a cistern, thought th be 100 years old, extending nearly the entire width of the street. It was more than 30. feet deep, and was walled in with stones and rude masonry. The finding of the clsteni seriously upset the plans ofthe excavators and it was necessary to fill in the entire

the cross in token of the affection from their overflowing hearts. Now the American Red Cross major is a man who has shot lions and other big game In Africa, and he has seen many things in out-of-the-way parts of the world, but there were tears in his eyes as he stood there'with his big double-fist filled with the pennies of these poor little children. And the Italian soldier who drove the car left his place at the wheel so that the others might not see that he was crying. And there were tears in the eyes and lumps in the throats of all the others who were there that day. These little children will get well. The doctors say so. They are touched with tuberculosis, the worst scourge in the world, but the home Is a model place, where even this scourge is conquered by sunlight and air and plenty of food. Princess Lettitla, a cousin of the king of Italy, is at the head of the home. There are 75 boys and girls

Time For Women to Act

Just as surely as the country requires at once the aid of all its intel* ligent, able bodied young men, so it is in urgent need of the services of each and every woman. Furthermore, there is no age limit. Every femate, from the little school-girl to the aged woman, can and SHOULD Three lines of work are often, one at least of which tfou should be able to do, no matter who, where or what you are. Choose it now. First, if you are Incapacitated in other ways, you can at least learn to knit. The blind do this beautifully, and it is even, recommended as quieting to the insane. Our millions of boys in service will need plenty of warm sweaters and wristlets next winter. Get busy now. Second, if you stop to thinks of the awful carnage going on abroad every day, you will realize the pressing need of all the Red Cross bandages and surgical dressings we can possibly get ready, working night and day. Go to the nearest headquarters and take a course, so you can do this work in your spare moments. If your little town has no Red Cross unit, appeal to your nearest city, where arrangements can be made to get an Instructor.

space before the work could be continued. The oldest residents do not recall when the cistern was in use, or what purpose it served in the community. However, at Lake and Park streets stands an old house, built no one knows when, and it is the supposition that the cistern was used in connection with that structure in days long gone by.

there now but there is room for 200, and many more want to come’ln andmay die if the doors are not opened to them. It is not at all improbable that the children who made their offerings to America may have wrought a miracle, for on a big desk of an American officer In Rome there is now a stack of copper pennies that Is a symbol of the love of Italian children forthe children of America and this stack of pennies may grow until all the money that is required to extend the home has been given. Perhaps, too, some American boy or girl would like to write to the home, thanking the Italian children for their gifts. The letter should be addressed to Colonia Profllattica, dells Princlpessa Laetitia, Torina, Italia. You may be quite sure that the children of the “Colonia” will appreciate a letter more thata any other gift.

Then do your part in your own comfortable home to help the sick and suffering. .Sew for the destitute women and children. Third, you can produce food. Today we are in greater need than ever before in the history of our country. The whole world is looking to us for help. We simply cannot fail those who have nowhere else to turn for the very necessities of life. Raise all you can for your own consumption, and thus lessen the demand on bigger growers. Don’t waste time and space on lettuce, radishes and other such non-essentials. Put in the things that will count next winter —carrots, turnips, beets, potatoes, and all the other vegetables that can easily be stored without canning. A few cents expended for seed now will produce many dollars’ worth of fresh green stuff that possibly will keep you from hunger next winter. The United States department of agriculture will furnish free booklets on raising everything from a head of cabbage to a field of. corn, and we should put 'every available foot of ground under cultivation at once. Women and children make fine gardeners. Do your part. Enthuse your neighbors. Help the country break its glorious record in world food production. Here are hut three of many lines of work.

she knows is undeserved. The girl who is marked 100 in her recitation because she happens to be called on for the only paragraph with which she has familiarized herself, is quite likely,to congratulate herself upon her “narrow escape," but, as a matter of fact, she has no reason for complacency. She can make no more disastrous mistake than the assumption that she can purchase success at less than the cost price. Moreover, the right sort of girl will wish to give full measure for value received. —Girls’ Companion. >

Army Makes Record Meat Purchase.

Chicago.—The largest single order Sor bacon and canned meats In the ilstory of the world —99,560.000 pounds of bacon and 134.000.000 pounds of canned meat—has just been placed by the Quartermaster’s Department, U. S. A„ for the American Army overseas. Louis F. Swift, tn commenting on this today, said will take the bacon from approximately 1.900.* 000 hogs, and if other work were dropped to produce it. would be equivalent to the total bacon production of the- five largest Chicago packers for nearly five weeks. However, six months will elapse before deli very is to be completed. Mr. Swift said: “At the current prices on the day. lasi week, when the purchase was made, the packers would pay the live stock producers about $80,000,000 for the necessary hogs and over $50,000,000 for about 900.000 cattle required. The cattle will cost us twice as much, and the hogs two and one-half times as much as in the pre-war period. The whole order will be made up before the iflrst of the year, despite, the fact that, even before this purchase, one-fourth of the packers’ facilities have been devoted to filling milltary demands. In order to get out the canned goods the packers will find it necessary to employ night and day shifts of canners. Notwithstanding the fact that the products are being rushed forward thus hurriedly, not a single complaint has been received on mentis delivered to the armies abroad. The five packers are now killing about 360.000 hogs weekly to keep abreast of martial and domestic needs.”
