DISASTERS
IN THE UNITED STATES
IN 12 MONTHS JUNE 3ft 1921
IN WHICH
RED CROSS AID WAS GIVEN.
INCLUDING DROUGHT RELIEF
IN a year of unusual weather con
ditions all over the world, the
United States was especially hard
hit, and in ti.e twelve months endlns
June 30, 1931, the American Red
Cross had given disaster relief in
thirty-eight of the forty-eight state's.
With the exception of a mine ex
plosion, an epidemic of typhoid
fever, a mine cave-in and a r-ilrozd
accident, these disasters were ail
due to the elements. They were for
est fires, tornadoes, floods, siorms,
cloudbursts and drought.
The drought, which spread over
twenty-three states in the summer
and fall of 1930, and has again
wrought untold havoc in northwest
ern states in 1931, accounted for
Red Cross relief in twenty-three
states. The other disasters were,
without exception, carried on simul
taneously with the drought relief,
and placed a heavy burden, not
alone upon the funds ol the national
Red Cross, but upon its trained per
sonnel of disaster relief workers.
At the peak of the drought relief,
more than two million persons were
being fed, clothed or given other
help, and in all of the work more
than 2,750,000 men, women and
children were cared for by the Red
Cross.
Funds for the drought relief were
obtained, in part, through public
contributions, because of the mag
nitude of the numbers affected. The
U. S. Gov. Map.
public gave more than $10,000,000
and the American Red Cross ap
propriated $5,000,000 from its treas
ury. The cost of the other disaster
relief operations .vas borne from the
Red Cross treasury, and local funds
contributed in the stricken commu
nities. This disaster work ot the Red
Cross is supported, in part, from the
annual roll call for members which
occurs each year between Armistice
Day and Thanksgiving Da.Uach
person who 'joins as a member of
the Red Cross is contributing to
ward this effective and important
emergency relief, should calamities
occur anywhere affecting lives of
their fellow citizens.

When
BABIES
are Upset
BABY ills and ailments seem twice
as serious at night. A sudden cry
may mean colic. Or a sudden at.lncic
of diarrhea. How would you meet
this emergency tonight? Have you a
bottle of Castoria ready?
For the protection 'of your wee
one for your own peace of mind
keep this old, reliable preparation
always on hand. But don't keep it
just for emergencies; let it be an
everyday aid. Ifs gentle influence
will ease and soothe the infant who
cannot sleep. Its mild regulation will
help an older child whose tongue is
coated because of sluggish bowels.
All druggists have Castoria.
