In 1859 there was a wat- between adopted practically without change the principles agreed upon b_\" the Conference of 1863 as follows:- The slck and wounded ln war were to be regarded as neutrals, and their hospitals. ambulances, sup- plies and equipment and the per- sonnel of the medical services at- tending upon them were also to be regarded as neutral. The medlgal services were 1:0 treat enemy sick and wounded with the same con- sideration as the men of their own forcas. Finally the sympol was t0 ‘be a Ried Cross on a ivhlte ground. The form» of this symbol was tn compliment to the Swiss nation whose flag ls a white cross on a red gvoutid, the colours beiniz re- versed for the purposes of the Geneva Convention. The Geneva. convention was revised and ex- tended in 1906 and 1929 and almost all the countries of the world have ratified ft. 'I‘he international com- mittee which had initiated this great movement was continued. It l: called an international com- mlttee» though it is composed wholly of Swiss citizens because fn spirit. it is international as its "functions are’ and it has mn- stantly held the err-tire confidence of the other nations. It was chimz- ed with the duty of promoting the formation of Red Cross Societies and of seeing that the obligations of the Geneva. Convention were carried out. It has been its constant endeavour to see that the Rfid Cross Societies lrt the different. countries should develop along the same lines. maintaining the same l isiiiti “i” , PllEllEllTATlllE FoRRiRLtN one of the best known preventatives for SMUT OR RUST 0N GRAIN An effective. efficient. and proven remedy.

ARTIFICAL SILK Artifical silk should never be washed 1n more than comfortably warm water, or rather soapy lather. It. shtiuld never have soap rubb- ed upon it. or in fact be rubbed at all. as this tends to wear the threads rather badly. It should ioif coitrse, have the two usual rins- ing waters. and be put through the wringer. though it is almost. 1m- posslble to extract a great deal of water from artificial silk. Ironing has to be very cttrefiilly done, where artificial silks are concerned, and it. is most. important. to see that. only t1 very tnotlerntcly hot iron ls used upon it. If this point» is not. observed. you may be sarllv disappointed to find that. half of the garment has completely vanish- ed. for heat has the effect of dis- solving artificittl silk into thin air. ‘or Vitalit BRAHMIN ORANGE PEKOE TEA dlwdlfl 11ft! l ".1: a :3: :1::—4-:i 1,225 20, 989 INJURED Lust year th. need of automobile Insurance was torclbly demonstrated by the fact that ln spite of the most atrenuoul campaign on the part of newspapers. periodical; and insur- ance companies against careless drlvlng, accidents with vio- DEAD lent death: and Injuries ruched a new hlgh in Canada.
