' 3Vashington, Nov. 25. Twentv mil-' "cn do'Iarn is the estimate of the Anlerican Red Cross for this fiscal oir. Of leers said this would be divided between the national organv- j zation and the active chapter on ap proximately an equal basis. .Budget allotments of the national organization for romestic ooerations aggregate $61,335,795, or $488,015 less than similar expenditures for last year, while the allotment for foreign operations will. be $3,404,077, about $2,247,959 less than, the year before. It was stated that the reductoin I'n the cost of domestic operations re presented a saving in overhead ex penses and decreased personal through the combining of divisional units. "The practically were, terminated last Julv. foreign operations, with the exception of the Junior American Red Cross, Relief work for disabled former ser vice men and their dependents re mains the main obligation which the Red Cross is meeting 5- funds and service. Approximately $3,000,000 of tie domestic budget is set anart for soldier service, this representing an increase; of $366,000 over last year. Other outstanding domestic items in the 1922-1923 budget, are: for dis aster relief, $750,000; for emergencies in chapter work, 3509,000; for ser vice and assistance to chanter and then branches, $1,293,000: of rassist- ance to other organizations nd educa tional institutions that train Red Cross nurses and workers. $200,000: for Roll Call assistance furnished to. chapters, ?iyu,uuu; tor untorseen contingencies, $100,000. . . Less than $500,000 is set aside for management of the national organi zationThe ratio of management ex penses to the total expenditures last year was rlaced at " "i'lye" and tw'yr tenths percent, and officers said tiic ratio this year probably would faii below five percent. The child health program in Europe and medical and hospital supplies fo Russia represent more than two-thirds of the entire : foreign allotment. The child health program will get $641, 314, but this is the balance of funds contributed to the Ainericajn RU Cross specifically; for this purpose,; The $1,834,044 lor Russian supplies is the balance of, funds made available by the Red Cross for medical and hos pital relief in, the famine stricken areas cf that country, and this money u expended unaer; the direction of the American Relief Administration. "The Red Cress must depnd chief iy upon its volunteer, membership for financial support and service," said the budget announcement. "In its ap peal for the maintenance of strength through a full enrollment durine- tht- annual Roll Call campaign from Ar mistice Day to Thanksgiving, the American Red Cross presents in its annual financial statement its evid ence of unlimited work in the service or all; mankind at' the' lowest cost commensurate with adequate . stand, ards."

The minister accompanied him to execution; GIG MAS POSTAL RUSH rnprncT u Lunu Dr. J. L. Spruill of Sanatorium, who has completed a tuberculosis health clinic here, told an interested audience last night something about this dread disease, how to prevent it and how to cure it in its early stages. He gave both the dark and the bright sides, as he termed them, and named several diseases that were harder to handle than it. Dr. 'Spruill was" presented by Dr. H. Charles Menzies in a brief talk, who said the doctor does more to keep one out of bed than to effect cures once one is in bed. It was Dr. Menzies' first public "speech," is was' said, and was a good beginning. The lecture followed the presenta tion of the welfare play, "The Milk Fairies," by the children who gave it at the fair. On short notice it was dif ficult to round ud the little folks and to refresh their memories, but they maue a pretty picture and pointed a moral that the lecturer later empha sized. Miss Hoyt played the part of mother and Mrs. F. A. Russell danced prettily. Mrs. W. J. Shuford again had charge of this feature. At the outset, Dr. Spruill said we ought to thank our state health depart ment for the work it has done and pre dicted the time when tuberculosis, like small pox and yellow fever, would be a memory. He told how science and the public had cooperated for the last 50 years to rob many diseases of their terrors and named diptheria and ty- pnoid lever as remarkable cases. Ty phoid fever is a disgrace to any com munity. Of all the fatal distases, Dr. Spruill said, there is no disease so easily cured as consumption, provided you can take it in its inception and give it the prop er treatment. Hysteria is worse 'and itch is hard to cure. Consumption is not hereditary, the lecturer said,-and added that there are few hereditary diseases, two of these being politics and religion. Christianity is a differ ent thing from religion, Dr. Spruill asserted. Tuberculosis is caught "bv one person from another. A germ gets into the nose or mouth from the spit of the other fellow. Here Dr: Spruill scored careless ex pectorating, asserting that North Car olina is "the greatest spitting state in the union'. We raise and chew our own tobacco and spit Where, we please. ,;. If we cut out the spitting habit, we will wipe out tuberculosis in North Caro lina." - Dr. Spruill said tuberculosis can be cured at home as well as somewhere else and said his records show that there as are many cases in the moun tains as nearer the coast. Proper treat ment will give rgsults anywhere. Cli mate has nothing to do with contract ing or curing the disease. Given a well built and regulated sanatorium in Ca tawba county, Dr. Spruill said he would guarantee to cure " more cases here than could be cured , in other places. - In Catawba County In North Carolina there ' were ap proximately 2,600 deaths last year, about nine each day, from the disease This would be bad enough if these deaths were not preventable. He told of a widow who came to his clinic here this week suffering from the disease. She did not have the money to go ,to Sanatorium and had her children to support. She went away from his. of fice reaiizine that she was doomed to die because she lacked a few dollars. He cited two other such instances and told -how the county could help, these people.. - . v Christian men and women become (continued, on page six) By the Associated Press. ' Asheville, N.
