Money can have no nobler mission—nor a deeper, more solemn obligation—¥han if be given from the heart—and with a generous hand to The American Red Cross. The Red Cross is at the side of every mother's son in Service—whoever he is—wherever he

is—at camp—en route—in combat, on land or air

TO the bruised and drained bodies— the Red Cross brings vitalizing,

life-giving blood! |

To the wounded and maimed—she

provides bandages.

To lonely men—rfearfully homesick—she

brings the warmth and friendliness

, of home!

In prison camps and among civilian

evacuees she is doing blessed work.

equipment, medical and surgical supplies, vaccines,—serums, rations— :

She brings food for starving children— and adults—and clothing for those who

have been bombed out of their homes. The Red Cross recruits Army and Navy nurses! : :

or sea!

If and when calamity strikes anywhere

in the world—{in Indianapolis or in - remote places)—the miracle of Red Cross quickly appears—with well-

. organized and understanding help!

Never does the Red Cross concern itself

with a person's race, creed or color— she recognizes the Common Humanity of Suffering and seeks only to serve!

Those in Red. Cross Uniforms complefely

forget self—in the helpfulness of others—{and humanity can rise to no -

higher plane than that). ;

The Mep in the Armed Services have a word for the Red Cross— they say it gratefully—often with deep emotion—the word is “Swell!”

- And with a generous outpouring of -

funds—we at home can also perhaps acquire the finest citation that the

Armed Services can give to Civilians—

the expressive word, "swell."

Give we will—give we must—It is a sacred obliga tion and a privilege—to aid in a work—that humanity so desperately needs. The fearful onsla ught—the final break through to achieve ' Victory «s just ahead—Pledge in proportion to the need—that will do it! ta
