CLOTHES FOU BABIKS JJUM'LINO UHYAIKS Bv Walt .Mason A new led Cross activity, which is likely to appeal to women of (he rural communities, is the making of outfits for new-horn babies in .Franco and Belgium. A committee of the Women's Bureau of the American Red Cross, which went to Europe to investigate civilian relief needs, made a report in which the supplying of such out-' iits was strongly urged. Leaflets explaining just what is' needed in the way of garments and material may be ob- tamed from Led Cross chapters. Owing to the rough methods that must bri followed in washing clothes in the war -countries, it is essential that the most durable ma terials he used in making garments for these baby out Jits. While the making of the outfits will be carried on extensively in Red Cross chapter workrooms, tin; work is of a character which permits much of it-to be done jn homes; only it is necessary to follow the simple' direct ions. The. directions, moreover, will be of great help to women who desire practical suggestions for baby outfits which are intended for home use or for relief work in (his country. Eating Fish ' The highbrow scientists explain that fish builds up he human brain, and that is what we're needing; the jrains are punk beneath our hats, and in our belfries uany bats foivvcrniore are speeding. Economists are f raying now that fish is better than a cow, it is the proper liet, if wo would help the allies' cause, and make the gory Teuton pause, in Europe's brutal riot. Conic, let us fill (Uiselves with fish! It is the -patriotic dish, and it will make us brainy; we'll grow so wise from eating trout we'll know too much to venture out when it is cold or rainy. Through all the brooks and ponds I search for catfish, suckers, cod and perch and other finny critters, and 1 am getting so blamed smart mv cleverness would!' break your heart if you could hear mv twitters. 1 fee ;ny good old brain expand and gather force to beat the oanu, mv intellect, is sailing, mv intellect that once was limp and all t his comes from eating shrimp and mackerel Hid grayling. And all the lime, by eating fish, I'm doing .vliat the allies wish, conserving swine and cattle; and as I. chew a six-foot eel. within mv glowiuir breast 1 feel I help to win a battle.

The sale of Red Cross Seals this year should treble that of I'JKi. Throughout the nation the importance of tuberculosis work has been intensified because of the war. Tin! United States must act promptly and efficiently or it will find itself handicapped and actually honeycombed with tuberculosis. France is stricken with the "white plague" to a far greater extent than with wounds inflicted upon the battlefield. The tuberculosis death rate in Ber lin lias increased more than 50 per cent. London is grap pling desperately with the same problem. Far more Red (!nss Seal money with which to fight tuberculosis in this country is needed .this year than ever before. Will our eoniintuiity do its share'? ;i. -O Oil' March 20, 1917, Lord Sliaughnessy, president of tli'1 Canadian Pacific railway, thus described the condi tio is in the dominion: "As many Canadians have been killed at home by tuberculosis since the war began as luivc lno'ii h'illcil lr ilui vv ilwcH Arit it iw ;m cut i rcl 1 preventable disease.
