NOTES

CENTRAL COMMITTEE.

With the change in the administration there occurs a number of changes in members of the Red Cross Central Committee who represent the Governmental Departments. It is with the very greatest regret that the Red Cross loses from that committee such men as James R. Garfield, of the Department of the Interior, Robert Bacon, of the Department of State, Beekman Winthrop, of the Treasury, Henry Hoyt, of the Department of Justice, and Major-General O’Reilly, of the War Department. The service that these members have given to the Red Cross cannot be too highly appreciated. Besides the time and thought they have expended at committee meetings, they have done much special work for the Society. Mr. Bacon, at the time of the foreign relief rendered after many disasters in other lands, Mr. Winthrop as National Treasurer, Mr. Hoyt as Counsellor and General O’Reilly as Chairman of the War Relief Board, and to all of these members of the Central Committee of the American Red Cross our people owe a debt of gratitude for their unselfish assistance and deep interest in our National Society.

The new members to be appointed by the President of the United States we feel will soon take a like interest in this great international institution. A sketch of the new members will be given in the July Bulletin.

The War Department has prepared the following form of certificate to be issued by that Department to such members of the American Red Cross as are accepted for the volunteer active personnel in time or war.

Seal

The Central Committee has accepted as an affiliated body the New York Red Cross Hospital, of which affiliation a report will be made in a later Bulletin.

The Western Union and Postal Telegraph-Cable Companies granted the Red Cross the free use of their wires and cables for all messages pertaining to the Italian earthquake relief, and the Central Committee hereby extends its thanks to these companies for this generous act, which has saved to the relief fund a considerable amount of money.

The action of the South Carolina and Georgia Branches in returning unexpended balances of their relief funds is most heartily to be commended. Nothing will do more for our American Red Cross than such illustrations of careful administration of the funds entrusted to it, and the desire of the State Branches to turn back into the General Emergency Fund of the National Red Cross all balances given for Emergency Relief that such balances may be immediately available for future disasters. The Central Committee desires to express its appreciation of this act and the good work done by the South Carolina and Georgia Red Cross Branches.

CALIFORNIA.

Los Angeles organized a division of the State Branch on February 18, 1909. The following officers were elected: Dr. Rose Burcham, Chairman; Rev. Robert J. Burdette, First Vice-Chairman; Joseph Scott, Second Vice-Chairman; Mrs. Berthold Baruch, Third Vice-Chairman; Mrs. George H. Kress, Secretary; Perry W. Weidner, Treasurer. Committee members will be named by Dr. Burcham next week, when an earnest campaign to make the organization a substantial one will be commenced.

Bishop Thomas J. Conaty and Rabbi S. Hecht were the leading speakers at the organization meeting. In addition to the committees for routine work several of special importance will be appointed by Dr. Burcham on the enrollment of physicians, nurses and a first aid legion.

CANAL ZONE BRANCH.

On representation of Major Carroll A. Devol, Quartermaster’s Department, now on duty at the Canal Zone, that in view of the bright prospects of organizing a Red Cross branch on the isthmus, it would be desirable to have Major Charles Lynch, Medical Corps, U. S. Army, sent there to start the work, the latter officer was detailed for this duty by the War Department on the request of the Central Committee of the Red Cross. He sailed from New York on December 26, 1908, reaching Colon on January 2, 1909. Major Devol and Mr. A. B. Minear, General Secretary Young Men’s Christian Association, Canal Zone, had already made arrangements for lectures by Major Lynch. These were fixed as follows:

Monday, January 4th, Tivol Hotel, Ancon.

Tuesday, January 5th, Club House, Gorgona.

Wednesday, January 6th, Club House, Culebra.

Thursday, January 7th, Colon.

Major Devol and Major Lynch appeared at all these meetings, the former explaining the special features of the Red Cross work on the Canal Zone, and the latter discussing the achievements of the Red Cross generally, with some special reference to first aid instruction. The various lectures were well attended and a considerable amount of interest was elicited in the Red Cross.

The Canal Zone Branch was organized on February 28th and on March 2d the President, Major C. A. Devol, reported a membership of 1,020.

IOWA.

The Iowa branch of the American Red Cross has been organized in Des Moines. J. B. Weaver, Jr., was elected President; W. W. Morrow, State Treasurer, was named Treasurer, and Charles Hutchinson was chosen for Secretary. An advisory board of seven influential men is made up as follows: Harvey Ingham, D. S. Chamberlain, W. O. Finkbine, Gov. Warren Garst, Lafayette Young, S. H. M. Byers and George F. Henry. All of these, and others, became members of the Society by paying the membership fee of $1.

MASSACHUSETTS BRANCH.

As a means of raising funds for the Italian earthquake relief the Massachusetts Branch, by authority of the Central Committee, issued a special stamp, a cut of which is shown here. The report of Mr. Walter E. Kruesi, the Stamp Secretary of the Branch, contains the following:

“I hope the Central Committee will make a note (in the Bulletin) of the ‘Italian Red Cross stamps’ of Massachusetts, issued with the authority of the National Office. I think this is due to the members of the Red Cross as an explanation of the authority for the issue of these stamps. Between $1,100 and $1,200 worth of these stamps have been sold to date (March 15th) and the funds are still being received. The expenses, as I have stated before, were relatively heavy because we expected a much larger sale and feel that we would have had it if other State Officers had been urged in any measure to assist in the campaign. The receipts have been very largely from people who said that they had been given no other opportunity to subscribe.

“The Massachusetts funds were materially stimulated by the use of stamps and by the advertisement the stamps gave to the general Massachusetts relief fund. I send a cut of the stamp under separate cover, and think many of your members would be glad to have a few as a souvenir. They can also get the posters from us as souvenirs. These are very handsomely executed and have been widely commented on because of their artistic merit. The poster was painted by E. W. Kingsbury. We sell them at ten cents each.”

SOUTH CAROLINA.

Mr. A. C. Kaufman, President of the South Carolina Branch, on January 18th wrote the National Secretary as follows:

“Treasurer Reeves will forward today a check for $333.21, balance from the Southern Flood Sufferers’ Fund. This fund has been splendidly handled by the Columbia and Marion Committees. The destitute have been largely relieved by obtaining employment for the men, which did not seem possible a month ago.”

BELGIUM.

Letter to President Taft.

Brussels, January 20, 1909.

Mr. President—The Executive Committee of the Belgian Red Cross, at its meeting held on the 15th of December, 1908, decided by unanimous vote to send a congratulatory address to Mr. W. H. Taft, President of the American Red Cross, on the occasion of his election to the Presidency of the United States.

The Belgians rejoice to see therein the sanction, by the vote of millions of citizens, of their universally prevalent desire to have peace insured. The international work of Geneva is a symbol of the union of nations, and constitutes a most reliable guarantee of the maintenance of humane principles throughout the world.

The choice of your high personality, whose generous sentiments are well known, is for all a happy token of the great role which your country will take in future in the domain of charity.

Again have the American people given to the world a beautiful example of humane solidarity in preceding other nations in showing their generosity to the populations afflicted by the Calabrian cataclysm.

Be pleased to accept, Mr. President, the expressions of our highest consideration.

The President, PRINCE DE LIGNE.

HON. WILLIAM H. TAFT. President of the American National Red Cross.

FRANCE.

As soon as the reports came of the disaster in Italy a meeting was held of the Central Committee of the French Red Cross for the purpose of considering what assistance it could render. Ninety Red Cross nurses were promptly sent to the scene of the calamity.

Reports of what other Red Cross Societies have done for Italy will be given after their bulletins and other publications have been received.

GERMAN RED CROSS.

On January 6th the German Red Cross dispatched for Southern Italy a number of physicians, trained nurses and relief corps men with the equipment of a field hospital. The party proceeded from Naples first to Catania, where the Austrians were rendering efficient assistance and where a number of Greek ships, flying the Red Cross flag, were acting as hospital ships, so it continued directly on to Syracuse, and was there put in charge of a hospital established in a large barracks. In the same barracks the Red Cross of Brescia was in charge of a hospital and another was under a Florentine personnel. By evening the many patients had been moved from the military cots to the comfortable Red Cross beds. An operation room was put in order and promptly utilized, for it had not been possible for the physicians of this small town to care for the hundreds of wounded who poured in upon them.

THE CONGO.

The Congoese African Red Cross, after twenty years of existence as a separate society with headquarters in Brussels, has, upon the annexation of the Congo by Belgium, given up its existence. Its hospitals at Banana and Leopoldville and its sanitarium at Banana, with its remaining funds, amounting to some seventeen thousand dollars, have been accepted by the Belgian Government, which, in its turn, has agreed to maintain these institutions with their personnel.

Instantaneous

is the relief from the acute stinging pain of inflammations and eczematous eruptions about the mucocutaneous margins when Resinol Ointment is applied. And a permanent cure is effected by this remedy with greater facility in all skin affections where a local application is indicated than by any other method. As a dressing for Burns, Carbuncles, etc., there is nothing approaches it.

Resinol Soap is the great adjunct to the Ointment, and renders the necessary bathing of the parts an aid to the cure, where the ordinary application of water and other soaps usually increases the trouble.

A HEALTH RESORT

WASHINGTON SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST SANITARIUM. TAKOMA PARK, D. C.

The first Sanitarium established by Seventh-Day Adventists was at Battle Creek, in 1866. Since then institutions have been started in many places. At present nearly sixty exist in various parts of the world.

Washington is known as “The City Beautiful.” Much has been written of the many beautiful and historic spots around Washington, but one which is a revelation to all who visit it, is the new Washington Sanitarium, located at Takoma Park, on an elevation of 300 feet. The Washington Sanitarium has only been in operation a little over a year. It already has a splendid patronage; it is undoubtedly destined to become well known not only for its beauty and delightful surroundings, but as a health resort. During the fall and winter the climate is almost ideal; the summer climate is good—no mosquitoes or other pests are to be found.

A Branch Sanitarium is conducted at Nos. 1 and 2 Iowa Circle. The Branch Sanitarium has recently been overhauled, and extensive alterations have been made. The surroundings of this health-home are also attractive and restful. Both institutions are thoroughly scientific, and employ the most modern methods in the treatment of patients.

Massage, electricity in its various forms, baths of all descriptions, and special dieting are the agencies chiefly depended upon.

From the foregoing it will be seen that the business of the Company has steadily grown from year to year, and, while the shareholders have received a fair return on the capital invested, the directors have always borne in mind that their first duty was protection to the depositors, which they have accomplished by adding over four million dollars, making a guarantee fund to its clients, including shareholders’ liability, of EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS, a record shown by few banking corporations in the United States.

This statement does not include our Trust Department, the securities of which, under the law, are kept entirely separate and distinct from the assets of the Company, and our relations being of a confidential nature, no published statements are made. The growth has, however, been much greater than the above.

WITH A PREFACE BY

BRIGADIER-GENERAL R. M. O’REILLY Surgeon-General, United States Army

Illustrated With 74 Engravings Pocket Size, viii+244 Pages.

The Red Cross is in each country an organization recognized by the respective Governments for the purpose of rendering aid to the medical services or armies in time of war, and, furthermore, to mitigate the suffering caused by great calamities, and to devise and carry on means for preventing the same. It has, therefore, an important educational duty to perform.

For the purpose of further fulfilling this duty the American National Red Cross has issued the FIRST-AID AND RELIEF COLUMNS TEXT-BOOK for use in schools, colleges, Y. M. C. A’s., in the family, and for service in the training of nurses and Red Cross Relief Columns. Major Charles Lynch, of the Medical Corps of the United States Army, was especially requested by the Red Cross to prepare this text-book.

The author is a surgeon in the Army Medical Service, and has been especially detailed by the War Department to act as the medium between that Department and the National Red Cross. His duties are to study and suggest in what way the services of the Society can be made the most available. Major Lynch was the United States Medical Attachè to the Japanese Army during the Russian-Japanese War, and while there had special opportunities for observing the improvised materials used by them in case of need, and their manner of rendering first aid, which proved of such value in the preserving of life during that war. He has been engaged in organizing First-Aid and Relief Columns, lecturing before various branches of the Y. M. C. A., and otherwise devoting much time to this special subject. He has, therefore, a large experience of the necessities and practical value of such work and of the wants of those seeking instruction.

Beginning with the Anatomy and Physiology, the book succinctly deals with Germs or Micro-organisms, First-aid Materials, General Directions for Rendering First-aid, Shock, Common Accidents and Injuries, Common Emergencies, Occupation Accidents and Injuries, Injuries and Emergencies of Indoor and Outdoor Sports, Transportation of Wounded and Sick, Organizations for First-aid Instruction, First-aid Contests, closing with a list of References and a very complete Index.

The preface by Surgeon-General O’Reilly gives not only due recognition to the practical worth of the book, but points out the vast good which may be done by proper organizations and knowledge in times of great calamities. He emphasizes the fact that, so far as he knows, it is the first effort to teach the prevention of accidents.
