I RED CROSS HELPS
WAR'S SUFFERERS
Aids 200.000 Veterans and
Their Families—27,ooo Dis
abled Still in Hospitals.
SPENDS $5,866,255 IN YEAR
■
Individual Attention Assured to
All Physically Ailing or
in Distress.
Washington. War service five
I years after the armistice, which on
November 11 the American Red Cross
marks with the opening of the annual
membership canvass, shows that dur
ing the past year assistance was ex
tended by the Red Cross to some 200,-
000 ex-service men or their fami
lies. To 130 hospitals throughout the
country approximately 75,000 ex-serv
ice men were admitted for treatment,
I and to 63,296 of these men definite and
' specialized service was extended, the
Red Cross annual report discloses. In
all hospitals under government opera
tion a total of nearly 27,000 disabled
veterans were reported by the Sur
geon General of the Army.
These facts of the “aftermath of
physical and metal disability five years
after the World War, and the burden
resting npon the relatives and de
pendents of the ex-service men, show
conclusively the great need of the
Red Cross to act as a supplementary
arm of the government In service to
these many thousands of men who
wore the uniform of the United States.
It should be emphasized that govern
ment assistance is necessarily stand
ardized along specified lines affecting
them as a whole. The Red Cross serv
ice is to the individual man and the
solution of his problems. This the
Red Cross designates "home Service”
for its aims to give the loving care
afid interest of the home to these men
undergoing physical reconstitution
far from their actual home influences.
Year’s Expenditures $5,866,255
In the year ended last June 30 the
Red Cross reports $3,920, 000 spent by
Its Chapters In extending Individual
attention to the ex-service men and
$1,946,255 spent by -National Head
quarters of the Red Cross, a total of
55,866,25fj Jn behalf of the men called
to duty in the World War the Red
Cross since July 1, 1917, has spent
nearly $164,000,000. Today there are
2,60 S Chapters In as many localities
carrying on this work, aiding the in
dividual veteran, assisting his family,
furnishing creature comforts and
funds to tide over troublesome periods.
The strong connecting link between
the Red Cross and the United States
Veterans' Bureau takes the complica
tions out of difficult cases of claims.
The Red Cross in this work requiring
personal representation of the ex-serv
ice man has acted in appeal cases, in
surance matters, personal and family
problems, camp and hospital activi
ties, and in cases of death. This serv
ice handled nearly 12,000 compensa
tion and insurance claims, and 2,225
allotment and other claims.
Solves Serious Problem
The financial problem of the ex-serv
ice man when trailing to and from
hospitals is a serious one. and in meet
ing this constant demand the Red
Cross expended $138,334.17 during the
year. For extra recreational equip-'
ment in Veterans’ Bureau training
centers $14,306 was spent, and for the
blinded veterans in the government
school funds were supplied to enable
some of these unfortunate men to en
ter business as storekeepers and poul
try raisers.
In Veterans’ Bureau hospitals the
record of a single month illustrates
the large service rendered by the Red
Cross. For example, 15,504 new cases
required attention, and a total of 26,-
007 cases were acted upon; 49,368 let
ters and 1,863 telegraph messages
written, and more than 1,600 enter
tainments given in recreation houses
for the benefit of the patients.
Authorities declare that the pres
ent is a critical time in the lives of
many of the disabled ex-service men
who during the five years since the
armistice have developed misgivings
of recovery.
Work Among the “Regulars”
Service to the enlisted men of the
Army, Navy and Marine Corps is a
charter obligation of the Red Cross,
which in the last year recorded over
200,000 cases of assistance extended
and 834.420 visits to the sick and dis
abled. Inquiries by the Red Cross at
the request of Government authori

them much more than when they are
in good health. This fact proves that
while Catarrh is a local disease, it Is
greatly Influenced by constitutional
conditions. HALL’S CATARRH
MEDICINE is a Tonic and Blood Puri
fier, and acts through the blood upon
the mucous surfaces of the body, thus
reducing the inflammation and restor
