of "Trl-mountnln," by which name
Boston was known to the early set

"Shawmnt," given to It by the Indians.

out by straying cattle.
After the Revolution the names of
many Boston streets were changed.
Queen street been me Court street, and
King street the State street of today.
School .sti eel took Its name from a
school that was erected there. Dark
alleys, leading off the principal streets
on every side, were named after path
ways, usually depending on where they
led to. f'reek lane originally led to the
old creek. It was In tavern days that
this was tho center of stage-coach

Thomas l Curby, the champion

rabbit with bran, and pudding mnde
with bran and turnip-leaves chopped

NATIONWIDE FIGHT
AGAINST DISEASE
American Red Cross Will Have
Health Centers in All Parts
of United States.
The American Bed Cross has launch
ed upon a nation wide campaign of
fighting dlsoase and physical defect
umong the American people. A new
nnd unique health Institution has come
Into being ns the result of several
months' study by the Bed Cross Health
Service Department nt National Head
quarters. Olllclals In churgo of the department
predict that beforo long this new health
activity will be In actual operation all
over tho country, nnd that the sign
"American Bed Cross Health Center"
will become as familiar to tho pco
pie every whero as are now the signs of
the telegraph companies.
Busy Long Before War.
The Interest of fho American Red
Cross In the fight against disease Is
not, however, of recent origin. Long
before the war the organization began
tills health service through Its medical
units In disaster relief work and its
department of Town nnd County Nurs
ing. During the war and following
tho armistice thousands of American
Bed Cross ofllclols have been fighting
dlseaso in tho war-stricken countries.
At the same time tens of thousands of
local Bed Cross ofllclals have been en
gaged nt home fighting disease, notn
bly during tho influenza epidemics.
Tho American Bed Cross has de
termined that all this valuable experi
ence In health service abroad and at
homo shall not go to waste. So long
ns there are a half a million people
dying yearly In this country from pre
ventable causes, and so long ns more
than one-third of the American chil
dren and young people aro victims of
physical defects, the Bed Cross recog
nizes the urgent need for continued
Bed Cross health service at home.
How Organization Works.
The Bed Cross Health Center is
governed by business principles, ap
plies business methods, and, In Its
more simple form, can be established
and conducted by Iny people.
It proceeds upon tho demonstrated
fact that health Is a "ommodlty that
can be bought and sold like brooms
and soap. Therefore, It establishes It
self In n storeroom In tho principal
business section of the community. It
displays Its goods In tho form of at
tractive health exhibits In Its show
windows. It advertises constantly and
extensively. And It uses every busi
ness nnd social device to attract cus
tomers. The Bed Cross Health Center Is of
service to the sick In that It gives out
reliable and complete Information
about existing clinics, hospitals, sana
toria and othov Institutions for the sick
and tho defective; nbout available
nurses, both trained nnd practical;
about when to consult n physician and
why to shun the quack nnd his nos
trums. Teaching Disease Prevention.
The Bed Cross Health Center is,
however, of even greater service to the
well. It teaches people how to pre
vent sickness and disease. This Is done
in many Interesting and attractive
ways llrst of all, by tho distribution
of popular health literature and
through health lectures Illustrated with
lantern slides or with health motion
picture films. Then npeclnl exhibits aro
given, ono after the other on various
health subjects. Practical demonstra
tions are made; also health playlets by
chlldronvto Interest nnd Instruct them
selves and their elders. Classes are
organized In personal hygiene, home
care of the sick, first aid and In food
selection and preparation. Health
clubs, both for younger and older pe
pie, aro formed ; nlso Little Mothers'
Leagues.. Nutrition nnd growth clinics
nre conducted for children.
Already moro than a hundred of
these Bed Cross Health Centers are In
actual operation throughout tho coun
try. Many of them also conduct med
ical clinics, but the one chief, out
standing feature of tho American Red
Cross Health Center Is Its health edu
cation service which tenches well peo
ple how to keep well.
FRENCH PRAISE FOR
OUR RED CROSS WORK
Lauding the work accomplished by
American philanthropy for wnr
strlcken France, Andro Tardleu, form
er high commissioner from that na
tion to tho United States, in a recent
article widely commented on through
out tho French press, says :
"The American Red Cross has ac
complished n work which calls for
tho heartfelt gratitude of every true
Frenchman. In 1018 this great relief
organization spent In behalf of France
nearly 87,000,000 francs, and In 1010
its expenditures on charitable projects
in our country attolncd tho tremen
dous total of 171,000,000. It hns re
cently turned over to tho French relief
organizations huge stocks of sup
plies whoso value must uc counted In
tho hundreds of thousands of francs.
"Fifteen million American boys and
girls, banded togeWicr In tho Junior
Red Cross of America, nre back of a
movement to establish the closest ties
botwecn themselves and Franco's
younger generation through tho char
itable works they havo financed nnd
are now carrying out among our little
war sufferers.
"The bonds of friendship between
Franco and America Is cemented with
mutual admiration, rerpoct and gratitude."
