Whv should t join tl'.a Red Cros7 What cun I do in It? 1'erhapa ofterwr than any other aw thepe tw-o quentionit asked of the. Red t'rosa headtiuarara here. The public if eager to help the Red Croat if it needs help and desires it But there ia an immense amount of misapprehension about the society some be,'.iovinjf it to be a charitable institution, others a woman's otgamtation purely, while still others imagine it to be a profefsional society of doctor and nurses. But it is none of the-e it i much more. To quote and condense the presidential proclamation of President iau liniiui.n Uw UU.J sf th? Pod Cross, it is: "The only volunteer society now authorized by this government to render aid to its land and nnval forces in time of war," and when it is so entraeed its doctors and nurses becoma part of the land and naval forces. Tku, u k.ive in the Red Cross an official part of our fishting forces, v-t supported and maintained by f inds contributed bv private individ uals, who are also members of the !d Cross, anil in any frreat emergency like the present maintained by the fun.l erented bv thousands and millions of sma!l subscriptions.

It is the volunteer partner of Uncle Sa-n in the (trim business of watfinf Can tlie indiviiluul aid in this work AimI the amv.cr to this is that not oniv ran Americans eoryw!:ere in all walks of life assist, but they must ns. ist if this device of modem warfare is to be efTeetive. "Whet ci I d i? ): 'in-ver.-al nijoiiy. l i t!i fli p'nee. you can join ihe Reil Cross. That is the fundamental service.

ganized, trained norsinn service could nave saved maav of them Sd It was at Solferino, in !."!'. where 30,000 trench, Itaiian and Auotitu Wuirc were unenred for a horror that re main today in the memory of Irvine men. The world cried out in pity then, and a a result of Solferino the international lied Cross movement was begun. Today iU brassard ia respected on the battlefield by all except savages. When you have Joined the Red Cross there ia much personal service which youcan render. If there is no chapter or auxiliary where you live yon can he insruirental m rormir.ir one. because it is through this or ganization of chapters and branches that the streams of supplies flow into the hospitals at the front Vi hile women with their needles are most conspicuous in Red Cross work in time of war, yet there is work for men to do. The 'vanous local heade. jarters will need muscle and execu tie direction in the work of gather ing and moving supplies. Doctors obviouslv are needed by the Red Cross. Red Cro.s ranitary depart ments train men for servlco In the medical or sanits)'? branches of the army and navy. What Women Can Do. Women anxious to serve the Red Cross can find many opportunities. Where chapters or auxiliaries are large enough so that classes of ten to twenty members may be formed tne exnert instruction of the Red Cross in the training of nurses aids ir.av be obtained. This instruction com-s in three courses. Momentary hygiene and home care of the sick. Home dietetics. Preparation of surgical dressings. Those who take these courses and obtain certificates of proficiency are el'gible for appointment as nurses aids. The Red Cross nurses arc all graduates of nursing schools, but at the war hospitals there will be plenty f work that the professional nurses will not have time to do such as the preparation of food in the diet kit chens and fowl for the hospital sttff, and the general housework of the hos pital, the s'lnervi'i-ei uf which will be turned over to the nurse:"' aids. Only a rehit.vcl small number of women can obtain i'-ese rpiKiintmonts, however. The (.-r at b-.ly of American women can he of best dir-ct ser vice to the Red Cross in the prepara tion of surgical dressings and hospital supplies. So for as tmndnircs are concorned, they mast be uniform in workmanship and materials, and conse quently the instruction in their manu facture is necessary for those who 'v-uld help at this point. The Red Cross, however, has many Instructors in this brnnch, and before the war progresses many months it will be possible for women in every section of the United .States to learn how to make surgical dressings. The hospitals and the wounded will need many other supplies, such as sheets and pillow cases, pajama shirts, bathrobes and other articles. .Special instruction in the making of many of these articles is not neeesary. The lied Cross furnishes pat terns and specifications which any needlewoman can follow easi'v.

Laughncr's Dieg; Store and

Hines' Grocerr Entered Wednesday Night MONEY AND JEWELRY VN'ere Stolen From the Drug Store Cigars Taken From the Grocery. Two stores were robbed in Whitestown last nigtfc. Thieves entered the drug store of Clyde Laughner and took $.1.85 in money, a diamond ring valued at $50, a gold coat chain and a quantity of cigars. Entrance was gained by breaking the glass in the rear door. The restaurant and grocery store of C- W. Hines was visited also but so far all that has been missed is a quantity of cigars and about fifty cents in cash. Entrance to this room was gained the same way as at the drug store. No clue has been ohtained upon which officials can work. SOME OP THE FOODS OF ESPECIAL VALUE BY H. E. BARNARD. State Pure Food and Drug Commissioner. Oatmeat, eornmeal, bomlny, bread ; and milk, are the foundition foods i of the diet They furnish the energy j and the building and repairing materi-1 al the human machine needs. Cereals i may be purchased in hulk or in pack-1 age form. It makes little difference i how they nre put up they are practi- j eally always of the same value. Corn i is corn whether it is used as hominy j or as flakes, and rolled nats and oaten j crackers at five times the cost mean j the same thing to the body. The park- j age cereals are all wholesome foods, j but the mere fart that they are park aged does not make them brain foists or nerve foods or endow them with j miraculous virtues. They nourish all i parts of the body blood, bones, nerves and muscles, but they do it no ' WIp. 11... ..'-.In enlme-,1 The nnlv advantage in buying reody-to-eat cereals is that most of them do not need cooking, before serving and when time and fuel count, this is a real saving. The cereals differ somewhat in value. Rolled oats for instance are richer in protein and fat than most other grains. Figured on a cost basis '.he puffed products are least valuable. Ten cents worth of puffed rice furnishes but 702 calories of energy of which sixty-four are protein, while rolled oats give 2,475 of which 4"6 are protein. In onler that we mav understand more clearly the importance of relative food values it is worth remembering that a pound of oatmeal furnishes 1,811 calories of energy as against fi8 in u pound of cucumbers and ll'l in in a pound of oysters.
