850 DISASTER DEATH
TOLL FOR ONE YEAR
Red Cross Gives $1,871,000 Re
lief When 65,000 Families
Are Made Homeless.
Forty-three diameters, resulting la
the death In the United State* of SOC
person* and the Injury of 2,000 called
for emergency relief measures and
the expenditure of $1,871,000 by the
American Red Croon daring the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1921, *a.v* on
announcement based apon the forth
coming annual report of the Red Cross.
These disasters caused property dam
age estimated at $90,000,000, affected
slrty-seven comjnunlU** and rendered
60,000 families homeless.
The year's disasters were of vary
ing types, Including several which pre
vlously had never been thought of
as falling within that classifies
tjpn. The Red Cross furnished
relief In seventeen fires of magnitude,
five floods, seven tornadoes or cy
clones, one devastating storm, three
explosions, Including the one In Wall
street; one building accident, twj
typhoid epidemic*, fhb most serious be
ing that at Salem, Ohio, which af
fected 9 per cent of the population;
one smallpox epidemic. In the republic
of Haiti; one train wreck, the race riot
at Tulsa, Okla.; the famine In China,
emergency relief In famine among the
Indians of Alaska, the grasshopper
plague In North Dakota and an earth
quake In Italy.
Puablo Most Serious
By far the most severe of the dis
asters In the United States during the
period covered by the Red Cross re
port was the Pueblo flood early In
June, 1921. The rehabilitation prob
lem confronting the Red Cross In
Pueblo was one of the most difficult
fh recent years. 'When the first news
of the horror was flashed throughout
the country, the American Red Cross
National Headquarters responded with
a grant of $105,000 for relief work.
Governor Bhoup of Colorado, appre
ciating the long and successful exjterl
ence of the Red Cross In organizing
disaster relief work, placed the en
tire responsibility for the administra
tion of relief in its hands.
In response to appeals from Presi
dent Harding, Governor Shoup and
other governors of western states and
through local chapters of the Red
Cross and other community organiza
tions, public-spirited citizens brought
the total contributed for Pueblo’s re
habilitation to more than $825,000.
The terrible havoc wrought by the
flood waters is a matter of record.
More than 2,300 homes were affected
and 7,351 persons were left homeless.
Estimates of $500,000 as an absolute
minimum for rehabilitation were made
by Red Cross officials In charge of ih •
relief work.
Fast Work in Wall Street
The Wall street explosion was nota
ble in that relief workers of the Red
Cross were on the scene twenty min
utes after the disaster occurred. The
race riot at Tulsa also was unique in
disaster relief annals In that outside
of a small emergency relief fund con
tributed by the Red Cross, the only
reject measures outside the city con
, sisted of the service of social work
ers. nurses and a trained executive
whose object was to assist local forces
in directing their own efforts.
In decided contrast with the pre
vious year, only one tornado assumed
the proportions of a major disaster.
This occurred on April 15, in the bor
der sections of Texas and Arkansas
with the city of Texarkana as the
center. The significant feature of this
disaster relief work was the fact that
it covered so much rural territory as
to make necessary a large number of
relief workers.
The famine In China, necessitating
relief expenditures totalling more than
$1,000,000 by the American Red Cross
was by far the most serious of the
foreign disasters in which the Ked
Cross gave aid.
Builds Up Its Machinery
In connection with the administra
tion of disaster relief measures, an In
creasing effectiveness on the part of
the Red Cross to deal with emergen
cies was manifested during the past
year. In 328 Chapters of the Ameri
can Red Cross there have been formed
special committees to survey the re
sources of their respective communi
ties and to be prepared in case of
disaster. In others of the 3,402 active
Chapters, a network of communication
has been formed through which instan
taneous relief may be dispatched to
any part of the United States.
That its work in this field may he
continued with ever greater effective
ness. the American Bed Cross is ap
pealing for widespread renewal of
membership during Its Annual Roll
Call, to be conducted this year from
November 11 to 24.
LIFE SAVING CORPS
ENROLLMENT 10,000
Growth of Rod Cross Life Saving
Corps throughout the country con
tinued unabated during the last fiscal
year, a summary of the year's
achievements by that Red Cross Serv
ice shows. There are now 160 Corps
with a total membership of more than
10,000 members, of which 1,276 are
sufficiently skilled In the work to act
as examiners. Among the outstanding
achievements of the Red Cross in tills
field during the last year was the or
ganization at the United States Naval
Academy, Annapolis, of what is per
haps the largest life saving corps in
the world, _

Chattano<>ga, Tenn. “After four
years of suffering and misery untold,
from a trouble that seemed to baffle the
doctors, I became despondent, when
somehow I came into possession of Dr.
Pierce’s book, “The Medical Adviser.”
After reading it I decided 1 could be
benefited by Dr. Pierce’s Golden Med
ical Discovery and the Anuric tablets, so
I began their use and in three weeks I
started to improve. I only weighed 125
lbs. when 1 commenced the treatment
and todav I weigh 140 lbs., and am prac
tically well. I can’t give too much praise
to Dr. Pierce’s God-given remedies.” —

known. It is the standard and main
reliance for these diseases in thousands
of homes. The facts that It can al
ways be depended upon and is safe and
