Conquering Disease
In discovering the whole ruthless world of microbes under the
powerful lenses of microscopes; in isolating the germs of deadly dis
eases in tropical swamps or in research laboratories—hundreds of
scientists have risked their lives. Their accomplishments read like
a drama.
The world has benefited beyond measure by the discoveries of
these microbe hunters; by the preparations of chemists who work in
the field of preventive medicine; by the physicians who diagnose
diseases; and by the skill of the ethical druggist who must be de
pended upon to compound the doctor's prescriptions.
Get your prescriptions filled and buy whatever pharmaceuticals
you need at the store displaying the "Reliable Prescriptions" sign
—the symbol of protection. Here you will find courteous and effi
cient registered pharmacists trained in the observance of the highest
professional standards. You can depend on tbem.

More Than Million in
Twenty States Fed by
Red Cross Volunteers
Hot School Lunches and Bal
anced Rations Given to
Drought Victims—Seed Pro
grams Instituted on Wide
Scale
More than 1,000,000 persons in 862
drought-stricken counties of 20 States
came under the care of the American
Red Cross in what developed into the
most extensive relief operations in half
a century of ministering to stricken
humanity.
Measures to lessen the severity of
the blow inflicted by drought were
taken as early as last September, when
seed was distributed to more than 58,-
000 families for the planting of rye and
other pastures, and to more than 27,-
000 families for the planting of kitchen
gardens. The expenditure for this pur
pose amounted to $32G,800. Green vege
tables were made available up to the
first of January.
Early in February another Red Cross
garden program got under way and
507,000 packages of seed were distrib
uted in 15 states. Quarter-acre plots
were planted to beans, beets, cabbage,
cairots, collard, sweet corn, kale, let
tuce, mustard, okra, onions, peas,
spinach, squash, tomatoes and turnips.
Once again were farm families given
the opportunity to participate in their
own salvation.
A comparatively mild winter contrib
uted to the success of the Spring and
Fall seed campaigns. Many habitual
single-croppers were introduced to the
advantages of kitchen gardens, bal
anced cropping and balanced diet.
Numerous land-owners have expressed
the opinion that this constitutes the
one apparent blessing to come out of
the drought catastrophe. The United
States Department of Agriculture and
the local county agricultural agents
and home demonstration agents co
operated in making this part of the re
lief operations outstandingly success
ful.
Balanced Meals Served
Red Cross feeding was aimed at ade
quacy and scientific correctness, as
well as simple economy. In large num
bers of schools, where children were
found to be attending with little or
nothing in their lunch boxes, hot meals
were served at noon. A typical menu
consisted of vegetable soup and bread
one day; thick beef soup or stew with
vegetables another day; cocoa or milk
and cheese, peanut butter, or jam
sandwiches, a third day.
In some places where lunches were
not served in the schools, but were pro
vided for in the regular food orders,
each family having «°hool children re
ceived extra staples for school lunches
including peanut butter, raisins, prunes
and tomatoes. Red Cross nutritionists
instructed mothers in the preparation
of lunches.
County health officers and private
physicians commended the adequacy
of rations procured on orders issued
by Red Cross chapters, which were
filled at local stores. Besides the usual
staples, such as corn meal, flour, lard,
meat, beans and potatoes, such items
as canned salmon, cabbage, tomatoes,
vegetables and milk were provided,
each order being adapted to the special
needs of the family for whom it was
issued. Where pellagra threatened,
eggs, yeast and other preventives were
given. '
Thousands of Volunteer Workers
Many thousands of volunteers,
through their local Red Cross chapters,
gave freely of their time, experience
and efforts, as in other Red Cross dis
aster operations. They searched out
needy cases in their communities,
many persons being restrained from
asking assistance because of pride.
Chapter committees investigated cir
cumstances, distributed food and cloth
ing.
More than 500 carloads of foodstuffs
were contributed. These were given
free haulage by railroads. Farmers of
more fortunate sections embraced the
opportunity to help their pastoral
cousins of the affected area. Shipments
ranged from live poultry to fish, from
grain 10 grapefruit. Carloads of flour,
eggs, beans, vegetables, onions, rice,
corn and mixed vegetables were in
eluded.
As the result of co-ordinated Red
Cross chapter efficiency, not one au
thenticated case of starvation as a re
sult of drought has been uncovered.
Laige Quantities of new and used
clothing were distributed. In direct
consequence many school children re
sumed their studies who had been kept
at home for lack of sufficient protection
from the elements, fn some instances
rural schools that had been closed
were enabled to reopen as a result of
fled Cross vrelief work.
States involved were: Alabama. Ar
kansas. Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Ken
tueky. Louisiana, Maryland, Missis
sippi, Missouri, Montana', North Caro
lina. North Dakota, Ohio. Oklahoma
Pennsylvania. Tennessee, Texas, Vir
ginia. West Virginia.
Many of these States had been hard
hit by a succession of floods, crop fail
ures, low prices and economic depres
sion, and drought constituted a climax
to the cycle of distress.
"Wherever I went," wrote one ob
server, I made a point of asking what
would have happened if the Red Cross
had not been able to respond. In wide
ly, scattered points, from leading citi
zens. came the answer that undoubted
ly there would have been many deaihr
directly from starvation, wth epi
