Food can be dried by the sun, by heat or by combination of the two.Salt was not used by many hunting people. When people began to eat vegetables, salt became a needed part of their life.

The most important result of this work was an international treaty called the Geneva Convention. It protects prisoners of war, the sick and wounded, and other citizens during a war.The American Red Cross was set up by Clara Barton in 1881.
