their one effort has been to buijd not the cheapest,
but the best that is the reason they are the largest
wagon builders in the world.
Every good feature that a wagon should have is in the
Studebaker. Come in and let us show you.

NATIONWIDE FIGHT
AGAINST DISEASE
t i
American Red Cross Will Have
Health Centers in All Parts
of United States.
The American Red Cross has launch
ed upon a nation wide campaign ol
fighting disease and physical defect
among the American people. Anew
and unique health institution has come
Into being as the result of several
months’ study by the Red Cross Health
Service Department at National Head
quarters.
Officials lu charge of the department
predict that before long this new health
activity will be in actual operation all
over the country, and that the sign—
"American Ked Cross Health Center
—will become as familiar to the peo
ple everywhere as are now the signs of
the telegraph companies.
Busy Long Before War.
The interest of the American Red
Cross in the fight against disease is
not, however, of recent origin. Ix>ng
before the war the organization began
this health service through its medical
units in disaster relief work and its
department of Town and County Nurs
ing. During the war and following
the armistice thousands of American
Red Cross officials have been fighting
disease in the war-stricken countries
At the same time lens of thousands of
local Red Cross officials have been en
gaged at home fighting disease, nota
bly during tlie influenza epidemics.
The American Red Cross has de
termined tha* all this valuable experi
ence in health service abroatl and at
home shall not go to waste. So long
as there are a half a million people
dying yearly in this country from pre
ventable causes, and so long as more
than one-third of the American chil
dren and young people are victims of
physical defects, the Red Cross recog
nizes the urgent need for continued
Red Cross health service at home.
How Organization Works.
The Red Cross Health Center is
governed by business principles, ap
plies business methods, and, in Its
more simple form, can be established
and conducted by lay people.
It proceeds upon the demonstrated
fact that health is a '■onmiodity that
can be bought and sold like brooms
and soap. Therefore, it establishes it
self in a storeroom in the principal
business section of the community. It
displays its goods in the form of at
tractive health exhibits in its show
windows. It advertises constantly and
extensively. And it uses every busi
ness and social device to attract cus
tomers.
The Red Cross Health Center is of
service to the sick in that it gives out
reliable and complete information
about existing clinics, hospitals, sana
toria and other institutions for the sick
and the defective; about available
nurses, both trained and practical;
about when to consult a physician and
why to shun the quack and his nos
trums.
Teaching Disease Prevention.
The Red Cross Health Center is,
however, of even greater service to the
well. It teaches people how to pre
vent sickness and disease. This is done
in many interesting and . attractive
ways—first of all. by the distribution
of popular health literature and,
through health lectures illustrated with
lantern slides or with health motion
picture films. Then special exhibits are
given, one after the other, on various
health subjects. Practical demonstra
tions are made; also health playlets by
children to interest and instruct them
selves and their elders. Classes are
organized in personal hygiene, heme
care of the sick, first aid and in food
selection and preparation. Health
clubs, both for younger and older peo
ple. are formed; also Little Mothers’
Leagues. Nutrition and growth clinics
are conducted for children.
Already more than a hundred of
these Red Cross Health Centers are In
actual operation throughout the coun
try. Many of them also conduct med
ical clinics, but the one chief, out
standing feature of the American Red
Cross Health Center is its health edu
cation service which teaches well peo
ple how to keep well.
FRENCH PRAISE FOR
OUR RED CROSS WORK
Lauding the work accomplished by
American philanthropy for war
stricken France, Andre Tardieu, form
er higli commissioner from that na
tion to the United .States, in a recent
article widely commented on through
out the French press, says:
“The American Red Truss has ac
complished a work which calls for
the heartfelt gratitude of every true
Frenchman. In 1918 this great relief
organization sjient in behalf of France
nearly 87.000.000 francs, and in 1019
its expenditures on charitable projects
In our country attained the tremen
dous total of 171,000,000. It has re
cently turned over to the French relief
organizations huge stocks* of sup
plies whose value must he counted in
the hundreds of thousands of francs.
"Fifteen million American boys and
girls, handed together in the Junior
Red Cross of America, are back of a
movement to establish the closest ties
between themselves and France’s
younger generation through the char
itable works they have financed, and
are now carrying out among our little
war sufferers.
"The bonds of friendship between
France and America is cemented with
mutual admiration, rerpect und grati
tude."
AMERICANS ABROAD
IN RED CROSS WORK
United States Citizens Far Away
Enthusiastic Members of the
“Fourteenth” Division.
. Vn,'
Among the most enthusiastic and
energetic members of the American
Red Cross are those citizens of the
United States who live outside the
continental boundaries of their country
—Sons and daughters of the Stars and
Stripes residing at the far corners of
the earth.
These people compose the Insular
and Foreign Division of tlie parent or
ganization. generally known as the
"Fourteenth” Division, which has
Jurisdiction of all territory outside
the country proper; that Is, Alaska,
Porto Rico, Hawaii, Virgin Islands, the
Philippines, Guam, and even the Is
land of Yap, which came under our
flag as a result of the world war. For
the year ISWO this division reported
SO.Snti paid up members.
The main object of this division Is
to give our citizens everywhere (he op
portunity to participate In the work
of the organization which slands for
the best national ideals. Americans
in far places intensely loyal and pa
triotic, treasure their membership in
the Red Cross as the outward ex
pression of their citizenship. R is an
other tie to the homeland and to
each other. There are chapters of
this division in Argentine, Bolivia,
Brazil, Canal zone, Chile, China, Costa
Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic,
Ecuador, England, France, Guam,-
Guatemala, Haiti, Hawaii, Honduras,
Japan, Manchuria, Netherlands, Nica
ragua, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines,
Porto Rico, Siberia, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland, Syria, Turkey, Uruguay,
Venezuela and Virgin Islands.
During the war these scattered
members of the Red Cross contrib
uted millions in money, and millions
of dollars’ worth of necessary Articles
for the men in service, and sent many
doctors and nurses to France. At the
same time they carried on an excel
lent Home Service In their respective
communities for the families of those
who had gone to war, and in some re
gions gave large sums of money and
immeasurable personal service to the
relief of disaster and disease victims.
Tlie division Is now establishing
service clubs In foreign ports for the
benefit of sailors in the American Mer
chant Marine, making plans to aid
Americans in trouble in foreign lands
and completing arrangements for giv
ing immediate adequate relief in case
of disaster.
It is the Fourteenth Division’s part
in the great Peace Time program *f
the American Red Cross.
Last Words of Rulers.
The undents hnd an ear for last
words, and among the reputed fare
wells of Roman emperors there have
been handed down Nero’s cynical,
“What an artist tjie world Is losing In
me!" Julian’s cry of surrender, “Thou
has conquered, O Galilean 1” and Ve
pashin’s iro;Jc, “I ?el tnyseif becoming
a god.”

How to Treat
A Torpid Liver
The liver is the largest and most
important organ in the body, and
when the liver refuses to act, it causes
constipation, biliousness, headaches,
indigestion, gas, sour stomach, bad
breath, dysentery, diarrhoea, pains in
back and under shoulder blades and
under ribs on right side. These symp
toms lead to colds, influenza or other
serious troubles unless corrected im
mediately.
An inactive liver places an extra
burden on the kidneys, which over
taxes them and causes the blood U>
absorb and carry into the system the
impurities that the liver and kidneys
have failed to eliminate.
W'hen you treat the liver alone, you
treat only a third of your trouble, and
that is why you have to take purga
tives every few nights. Calomel or
other ordinary laxatives do not go far
enough. If you would treat your kid
neys and blood while treating the liver
you would put your entire system in
order and frequent purgatives would
then be unnecessary.
Ur. W. L. Hitchcock many years
ego recognized these important facts,
and after much study and research,
compounded what is now known as
Dr. Hitchcock’s Liver, Kidney and
Blood Powdeus, three medicines com
bined in one. This was the Doctor s
favorite prescription for many years,
being used by his patients with
marked success. It is a harmless veg
etable remedy, that will not make you
sick; and you may eat anything you
like while taking it.
Get a large tin box from your drug
gist or dealer for 25c, under his per*
sonal guarantee that it will give re
lief, tone up the liver, stimulate the
kidneys to healthy action and thereby
purify the blood. If your dealer will
not supply you, it will be mailed direct
by Hitchcock Medicine Cos., Atlanta,
