frequently
mee's,
as
she
visits the
homes.

so
that
you
are

no
longer
able
to support
yourself
or
your family and
must
either
go
without

food or depend
on charity ?
You
can
go
to the nospital where
the Red
Cross
has
|
furnished
an eye
testing
outfit
so
that
|
your vision can
be corrected.
i
Are you suffering
from
some
physical
|
ailment
that
can be helped only by opera-
|
tion?
You can
go to'the hospital
where
|
skillful doctors
can
remove
the
trouble
with
the
help
of surgical
instruments,
|
which the Red Cross
has provided.
f
Are

stricken
in your
home
with

some
illness
or pain that must
be
treated

Woull
you
prefer
the
old method
cf transportation
to
the
hos-
pital by donkey
cart with its
jolting over
bumpy roads
or would
you
iike
the
am-
bulance,
furnished
by the
Red
Uross,
(o
ecarry
you
there
in
muci
less
time
and
with little discorefort
?
If you

how
would
sour baby receive
its miik at the milk sta-

who is able
to reach
-all the
estates
at

a
weck?
If she
did not
have

she
would have
to rely upon
a horse
and
bug-
gy, with
which
she
could
reach

only once
a week and
many
of
them
not
that often?
