TUBERCULOSIS DAY
AND LABOR APPEAL
President Strict Asks the Iowa State
Federation Of Labor to
Cooperate.

The following letter is sent out by
President ]. H. Strict. of the Iowa
State Federation of Labor, from the
Sioux City office, requesting all cen
trail bodies and trade unionists with
In the state OF Iowa to cooperate with
the churches to make tuberculosis day
a success. President Strief's letter to
the labor bodies is as follows:
SIOUX CITY, Iowa, Nov s.--To all
central bodies and trade unionists
within the state of Greeting:
Sunday, December I, is Tuberculosis
Day. Throughout Iowa on that day,
almost every pulpit will have an ad-
dress delivered on the great white
plague. Owing to the fact that this
disease is very prevalent among the
laboring classes, DR. A. E. Kepford,
state lecturer in the department Of
tuberculosis, desires that organized
labor shall participate in observing the
day.
| The Iowa State Federation of La
Dor has always had the considerable
lco-operation of DR.. Kepford. His dis
cussions have aroused the people of
this state to the necessity for the
Ieradication of this scourge. He has
pointed out that s'the reformation of
society will be required before we can
ultimately control this preventable
disease. He says tina as long as
men and women are overworked un-
derwaged and underfed, poorly housed
and poorly clothed, overcrowded into
lnsanitary houses. or compelled to
work long hours in unventilated fac
tories, shops and stores.-that long
will this sinister malady ravish our
commonwealth In other words, the
campaign against this preventable dis
ease has brought demand for social
Justice.
The Iowa State Federation of La
Dor desires to cooperate, and there
fore urge the labor organizations in
this Jurisdiction to earnestly cooper
ate with the churches in making the
day OF great value to our people. Let
me suggest, where practicable that
city central organizations arrange for
the observance of the day. Where
this is impossible, then urge some
local minister or doctor to speak and
ATTEND in a body.
Remember that tuberculosis is very
prevalent among the men and women
who do the heavy work of the world.
This is humanitarian work and Iowa
trade unions should cooperate in ey-
cry way in the proper observance Of
Tuberculosis Day, Sunday, December
IT. The time is short between now
and December Z, and I urge that your
Organization act at once and appoint
d representative committee to arrange
for the observance of tuberculosis
Day in the churches of your city.
F'raternally yours,
j. Fl. STREE,
President.

FIRE AT JEWElRY STORE

A small blaze in the jewelry store
of w. c. w. Kuehner was discov-
cred about o:Is Saturday evening.
The fire department was called and
the fire extinguished by the use OF
chemicals. The fire had gained
little headway but the whole store
was badly smoked and was the
greatest cause of damage.
A fire of hedge wood was burning
in the back of the store and it is
supposed some sparks popped out
and landed in broom that was sat-
urated with floor oil. Dry cheese
cloth and paper caught from that
and blazed up in what promised to
be bad fire for few minutes.

tant when united church wi0 be
realized, and it may come In the next
ten ears" says Rev. Harry c. Rsgers
pastor of Kansas City Presbyterian
church. Four of his reasons for 80
believing are:
1--WE all llagree that there is 6m one
religion. That is the faith ths. is
handed down to US since the day of
Jesus Christ. ProteStants are not
divided on the question of the etenaal
welfare Of souls ,
1.-THE present separation of the de-
nominations results in confusion 10
the unbeliever."
"Theue are too many churches in
one community and not enough Con-
centratiOn of labor"
The task of bringing men and
women to Christ is big enough for
united church. We need to support
each other is the great cause"

Aunt Sue is Given Title Over
All Candidates-W Would Use
Police Authority

Aunt Sue Hudkins is without {
doubt the busiest woman in town
There is apparently no limit 10 he'
activity. Tired or not she goes on
her energetic way with out faltering
and bright and early next morning
after a busy day is ready for a
counterpart of the day before.
A few of the incidents that 60 to
make up the life of Aunt Sue may
be shown by a few of the things
happening in an average day.
Early in the morning there was a
family washing to be done. Low
gas pressure made it an unusually
long task. A trip to town must be
made to purchase and send some
clothes away and then dinner is to
be gotten for husband. This is in
terrupted by couple of long dis
lance telephone calls from a neigh.
boring town askirg that she pre-
vent a girl and young woman from
leaving Chanute. A message had
just been received that one of her
poor friends was very sick and
wanted "Aunt Sue" at once. She
makes the trip to the station and
settles the first matter satisfactorily
sending, the girls 10 their homes
again all the better for the care OF
Mrs. Hudkins. And now is on her
way again to her sick friend where
she brought comfort and cheer, and
not forgetting the material things
they need, went armed with a few
necess ties. Home again but bur.
dened this time with a number oil
soiled garments which she set to
work to wash. A churning must
be done then and the dishes washed
the house set to rights, and again a
meal cooked for herselfand husband
with the prospect Of another tele.
phone call or SO before her. And
it is just an ordinary day for her.
When asked "Afen't you tarcd2"
"Well, yes, Gut really 1 haven,
time to be-"
Mrs. Hudkins is the first woman
of Chanute to be givea the star of a
Police Matron. Her fame has
reached even SO far as Arizona and
she has received ING quiries from
there as to her duties, her pay and
the size of her star.
eyes, I would make arrests, says,
Aunt Sue, .Or at beast l would try

others for which 1 would show my

WANTS STRAIGHT
ROAD TO STARK
Chanute Business Men Favor
it A1so--.Old Road Has.
Two Jogs in it.

| J. B. Clouse one of the general
merchants of Stark, Kansas has
written to some of the business mem
of Chanute asking their co.opeIa-
tion in getting the route of The
proposed county road east from
Chanute changed from the presena
route to more direct one.
AT present the road is proposed
10 be improved by the county in
the way of drainage, culvens and
the like. 1t has two iogs in it,
one of which will have to r.main
or have another road cut as the
road has never been opened on thar
particular line. If the road
does not jog this half mile sonth
it comes almost directly through
Stark. MIR. Clouse REPRESENTS
the merchants of Stark, who ac-
knowledge that the Chanute stores
carry a clvss of goods that they
themselves cannot afford to carry
and that they would be glad to have
that class come to Chanute ratheE
than 60 to the north or south
The extra distance for pee PIE In
that community if the road j .gs a
a half mile will add consider able
distance to the trip to Chanute and
back. They also point ONT ehaSs
there will be extra distance TO soeDGl
money on. The road has been,
proposed by the County Commis-.
sioners but the Stark people want
the Chanutc Boosters to take The,
matter up with them.
S. J. Bailey, President of The.
Chanute Commercial Club has ex-.
pressed himself in favor OF direce
route as he thinks it is of more,
benefit to a greater num5er of
people. Dan Bloomheart, who Isl
we'll acquainted with the lanf, in
that section of the country expresses
himself as being in favor Of puttfne
new road through directly con-,
tinueing with the East River road
ont of Chanute. In order to do
this right of way would have to,
be obtained, either by condemna-
ton proceedings or otherwise
However he says that If this is nen
decided to be practical the road he
is In favor of is the one that wRn
bring more people to Chanute ana
give more people the benefit of the
good road that this county road
will be. The direct route wonl6
pass through the middle of Grant
Township. If the road is puk
through it is expected that it will
be kept in excellent condition.
Drainage is the first matter that
will be attended to and that is one
thing that all experts agree on
that drainage is of the first and
prlmay importance in the making
of good roadway.
