ble picture to you and yet must ask your he p and try to pret you to see the awful tragedy in which thousands, cf beings are starving. Today in Po¬ land and Galicia, in Russia and Pales¬ tine, old men are dying—mothers are wandering home'ess with babes in their arms—thousands, yes thousands of little suffering children whose feet, arms and faces are swollen are dying from disease and hanger.
Already we have given—all have given—BUT WE MUST ALL GIVE AGAIN. We can at least prove our¬ selves human and resolve not to let them die. Will you not join us in this effort to save the lives of these Jews now in such imminent danger ?
To quote Senator Saulsbury of Dela¬ ware: "This ia not a Jewish move¬ ment; it is a human movement. It wiil clothe where clothing is needed and feed where feeding is necessary; it will go wherever the call of human¬ ity calls it It is of human beings, for human beings and by human twings."
You no doubt are aware that the week of Deceml>er 8,1918, was set for this War Relief Drive throughout the United States in an effort to raise |5,- 000,000 for the war sufferiers in the war zones.
May we not ask for your personal help at this time?    Contributions car

To Observe Red Cross Sunday
Next Sunday is to be Red Cross Sunday in all the churches in Nassau County. From the pulpit the achieve¬ ments of the Red Cross both abroad and in this country will be de8cril>ed.
The".!, on the following momin? th<? active drive in the Red Cross Christ¬ mas Roll Call begins. Every man and woman n the County wili be ap¬ proached by some other man and wo¬ man fend asked to join the Rad Cross.
Speaking aliout the outlook for Nas- 5a,u County at^the Headquarters in Garden CitV Monday morn'.ig, Her¬ bert S. Houston, the chairman of the RoU Call, said:
i^ "There is the greatest enthusiasm in every part of the County. The workers are literally on their toes. In fact, the chief difficulty Headquarters lias had has been in the way of get¬ ting snpplies into their hands in suffi¬ cient quantities to enable them to do ill the work they have wanted to do.
"Colonel Roosevelt is ' again the Honorary (^airman for the County and he is with us heart and soul. He has just written, saying he confidently hopes that the Roll (jall will be an¬ swered in Nassau Ck>unty with over¬ whelming unanimity. And we will not disappoint the Colonel or the Red Croes.
"Bnt of course, the great call that must be answered is from overseas. Before President Wilson reached the other side of the ocean he sent back o wireless message asking that Henry P. Davison, Chairman of the War Conncil, hold himself in readiness tc respond to a hurried summons to gu l)ack to Europe. The work of reco-a- struction before the Red Cross is of the greatest magnitude, and it will re¬ quire the work of everybody to ac¬ complish it. So while the fightin; army is being mustered out, at Jeasl a grreat part of it, the Red Cross Army more than ever before must be mus tered in.
"Henry P. Davison has just tele¬ graphed: 'I cannot too stronsjiy urg. apon you the importanca of the forth- coming Christmas lioll Call. Con¬ ferences with our committees in Eu rope, together with co-.iferences 1 he c with the President before he left, havi shown clearly that the field for Red Crgss effort is going to be on a tre mendous scale and inspiring charac ter. We shall conduct no further cam paign for war funds; the Roll Call wi constitute the very foundation of Rec Crosa effort in the future.'"
Local Red Cross workers ara laying particular stress on the fact that this is not a campaign for money, but is merely for memt>ers. Nassau Count;, has now more than 30,000 member:, and it is hoped to double this.
It is confidentially l>elieved tbat peo pie will immediately respond to the slogan of the Roll Call:
"All You Need ia a Heart and a Dollar."

There are a number of plates at the Red Cross rooms which have been ;ent there with cakes at different :'mes. Will the owners please come ind get them? •
Rsd Cross members there is more vork for you to do now than there has been i-.i the last four years. Because he armistice was signed is no reason why you should stop working. Our >oy8 are coming home, a large num- ler of them woundad. That means a arge amount of hospital supp ies and garments for their comfurt. They vere so wounded to benefit yoa. Now, ;re you going to neglect them? Think t over carefully and the-.i come out on Tuerday afternoons to the Rzd Cross meetings. If you cannot come out then take work home. Knitting and machine sewing is especially needed, fou are needed as long as there is a wounded boy.

Hens Need Air
Cloae, Oamp Qaartera Bad for Poaltry
—Little Dangrr of them Freezing
Throagh Ventilation
(Pnm tk« N«w York SUU ColUs* ot As- rienltar* at Conull i;iil**raUr>.
One of the dangers of having a tightly-built hen bouse comes from the inclination to shut it up tight and keep the house warm, according to the Department of Poultry Husbandry at the College. If the house Is warm it °8 generally damp, and if damp it is not a flt or healthful place for a hea to live in. A hen does not have sweat glands in tbe skin and so hss to get rid of excess moisture by means of the droppingr and through the tun?. the air is already moist, a hen is ble to get rid of very little moisture. Consequently, it csnnot keep the blood in good condition and the bird bfi comes subject to colds, roup and kin¬ dred ailments.
If moisture collects on the walls or the bouse smells dsmp, it hasn't enut ventilation. In that ca«e a windoii^ or door shou'd be left open. There is lit¬ tle danger of freezing the hens by giving them a little air; if tbs air is dry, their blocd is in gocd condition thev 8r« sb'e to keep warm.    A
