CURES FLU WITH RED CROSS TEXT BOOK.

— story of one woman in the Lake Division is typical of I many who are thoroughly , convinced of the value of Red. Cross courses in Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick. In a small Ohio town during the flu epidemic a sufficient number of nurses was not available. In this woman’s family her husband and two children were ill. “I couldn’t get help,” she said, "but someone told me about a book to read that would help me—‘a Red Cross book on how t© take care of the sick members of the family when there wasn’t any chance of giving them profession &1 care.*’ She read it, did as the book directed, and pulled the family through the disease. Such experience as this woman has had brings a realization of the importance 'of this training for every woman. In times of epidemic or disaster lives may be saved bf the knowledge of simple rules and methods such as the Rad Cross supply. ’ j

Plans are being made throughout the Lake Division to extend the number of these Red Cross teaching cen ters. Each chapter is being urged to obtain instructors for these courses and establish classes in their district. Have you enrolled at your chapter teaching center ?
