RED CROSS EXPLAINS PEACE TINE DUTIES Answers Some Pertinent Questions Relative to Its Activities in Period of No Wars What is the Red Cross doing? What becomes of my one dollar a year subscription? What does the Red Cross do in peace times? Those are some of the questions many per- sons are asking in these days when the "battle flags are furled." The Red Cross answers those question in the accompanying article. "Last fall you contributed one dol- lar to the American Red Cross. This is the only money asked for by that organization during the "year. This support from you is enabling the Red Cross to do the following things for the men who fought for you. : "Aiding them with their compensa- tion papers, bonus and insurance claims. "Taking care of them and their fam- ilies while awaiting compensation, and in unusual situations, while they are learning a new trade. There were 100,000 beneficiaries during the last fiscal year. "In February at the request of the government, the Red Cross took over the social service work in the 14 con- tract hospitals. Sweaters, socks, slip- pers, pajamas, bathrobes and under- wear have been provided to make these boys comfortable; also enter- tainment. "A social worker has followed the convalescent 'into his home to help the wife or mother follow the direc- tions of the physician. Classes in dietetics are being conducted for the Entered at the postoffice at Winnetka, Illinois, /as mail matter of the second class. under the act of March 3, 1879. SATURDAY, APRIL 2. 1921 Free Classes The Chicago clinic through which glasses are fitted to children of the ublic schools free of charge sh p < g ould r-qst, without the use of the knife, serve as a means of improving the scholarship of a great many pupils. Much of what seems to be stupidity on the part of many school children is really the result of impaired vision. Children with imperfect eyes, seated in the back of a room, see only a part of the material which is written on the black boards. They cannot com- pete in the display of intelligent grasp of problems with children whose vision is not at fault. Never having seen clearly, they themselves do not know what is the trouble, and teach- ers are not always possessed of the insight that enables them to discover where the trouble lies. Headaches and other ills that arise from eye-strain are frequently en- dured by children without arousing suspicion in the minds of their elders as to where the seat of trouble lies. Particularly in homes in which there is necessary the greatest stretching of the income to cover the outgo there is likely to be no thought given to the examination of the eyes of children and the fitting of them with proper glasses. A free clinic should serve to extend this help to the school careers of the children from such homes. En- couragement to make use of its facili- ties should certainly be provided by the teachers, and information of the opportunity for free treatment and free glasses brought to the parents. The Receding Of The Crime Wave It is pleasant reading that the "crime wave" is receding. It is a fair guess that the disposition of the courts to administer punishment in cases that are brought to trial and the stimulated assiduity of the police of Chicago under the new chief have had a good deal to do with the recession. Nothing so discourages wrong doing as a certainty of having to pay the consequences if the plans fail and the criminal is caught. The ease with which escape from justice has been accomplished in many notorious cases of crime had developed a sense of se- curity that encouraged crime. The regularity and the consistency with which prosecution has lately been fol- lowed by punishment has tended to discourage this assurance of safety. The lowering of the crime record should be recompense enough for those who have been instrumental in bringing justice into active use in the courts and should serve as a stimulus in the continued performance of this service to the public that suffers from the criminal and his activities. HANDLE "1921" DORT In its business of selling high class motor cars the Earl Coal Motor Co., 1019 Davis St., Evanston, this week announces that it has obtained the agency for the "1921" Dort, a machine which has received more praise for its individual body lines, it is said, than any other make of car on ex- hibition at the New York Automo- bile show. Roemer T. Feeley, well known in north shore automobile circles, is connected with the Earl Motor company. A 30 CENT AD MAY SELL YOUR USED CAR SAYS SHE IS CURED OF BREAST CANCER Herrin, I11.,, Woman Tells of Healing by Dr. 0. A. Johnson, Noted Special- ist, of Kansas Gity, Mo. fter being treated for cancer of the ~rs. Robert Nealson, Herrin, Ill.,, wrote as follows to Dr. O. A. Johnson, noted cancer specialist of Kansas City, Mo.: "Your treatment and skill has meant so much to me that I want to tell others about it. "At the time I went to you I was afficted with a large cancerous growth in the breast, of about two inches wide and six inches long. The disease had been de- veloping for about three years, and it had reached a stage where it was causing me a great deal of suffering. "After you had made a thorough examination of my case, I did not feel very much encouraged when you told me that it had developed to such an extent that you would have to place me in the doubtful class. HMowever, I did appreciate the fact that you wanted to be honest with me and did not want to hold out false hopes for a cure. "I am glad to be able to say to you and to the world today, that so far as I am able to tell at this time your treatment of my case was a complete success." The above was written to Dr. O. A. Johnson, Suite 565, 1324 Main St, Kansas City, Mo., the physician who treated Mrs. Nealson so successfully. Dr. Johnson is perhaps the best in- formed man in the United States today on cancer. He conducts a large institu- tion for the treatment of cancer, in con- nection with which is also maintained a laboratory for scientific cancer re- search. Thousands of cases have been investigated and treated in the past twenty years. This treatment is en- tirely non-surgical. Purely medicinal measures only are employed; that is, external applications to destroy the cancer and internal medication to purify the blood. Dr. Johnson has published a most interesting book called "Cancer Truths," being a statement of his theories and experiences in treating cancer. This book will be sent gladly to any cancer sufferer, or if you have a friend afflicted with that disease, get the, book for him. Simply address Dr. O. A. Johnson, Suite 565, 1324 Main St., Kansas City, Mo.--Advertisement.

Most of the candidates are seeking re-election after hav- ing filled their offices in a creditable manner. % There may not be an opposing ticket in the field, but this must not encourage voters to abstain from voting, as it would be easy in such a case for a small minority to write the names of other candidates upon the ballots and thus elect un- = desirables. : F.
