HOSPITAL. CAMPAIGN
is TO BEGIN MONDAY

The Today campaign TO raise $l25.-
600 for St Luke's hospital, Davenport.
will be launched at an opening dinner
in the hotel Blackhawk on next Mon
day evening. which will be attended by
the 500 volunteer workers. 1t is there
that the workers will have submitted
to them the list of prospective" SUBJ
scribers to the fund, Each volunteer
will have the privilege of choosing the
names of the persons he wishes to see
A cardinal rule of the campign is that
no one has a right to ask any resident
of Davenport for a contribution to the
st. LukeS hospital fund except the
worker who has in his or her possess
sion at the moment the index card
bearing that citizens name. This
avoids duplication of effort on the part
of the volunteers and protects the
busy man against being annoyed by a
string Of solicitors. The busy man or
woman knows that only one person in
all Davenport can have the card bear
ing his name and as he is made to I'M
derstand that no one else has a right
TO approach him he usually is willing
to listen TO the story of the hospital by
the one worker who has that right.
Consequently the volunteer practically
IS sure ow a gracious reception.

The relations between the two countries are
altogether friendly; it is obviously to the inter-
est of Great Britain that they should continue TO
be friendly. There has been good deal OF inter-
ference with our trade, even with neutral coun-
tries our mails have been detained, questions OF
considerable gravity have been made the sub
ject Of diplomatic correspondence. They stu
await adjustment.
To add to their number by so fragrant an IN
vasion of our rights of trade would result from
the enforcement of this prohibition cannot be
considered tactful proceeding, and it could be
justified only by compelling necessity.
That condition does not exist. Trade with
the enemy is prohibited during war because OF
the profit that would accrue to him, thus aug
menting his means of defense or aggression. But
we have no present trade with Germany. The
business concerns included in this blacklist are
quite unable to send goods to Great Britain 5
enemy.
In recent tables of our foreign commerce the
export entry opposite the name of Germany has
been blank, showing that no goods were sent
out to that country. This is the highest possible
tribute to the effectiveness of the British block
ade Why should the British government trou-
BILE itself to suppress trade that does not exist,
trade it has already suppressed by its mastery
of the sea New York Times.

After the rubbing, which should al

the blood in the ,eins flows that way,
apply Moones emerald Oil to the

Soon you will notice that they are
growing smaller and the treatment
should be continued until the veins

Being a powerful yet safe antisep-

THOMAS IS HOSTILE
TO SUFFRAGE CAUSE

WASHINGTON, Aug. s. nator
Thomas of Colorado, today declared
that the prospects for the adoption of
the Susan B. Anthony suffrage reso-

Hughes endorsement of the measure.
He described Mr.. Hughes announce

short of orders from the white house

he found. And he had been known
to carry off some of the animals I'M
less he found something which pleas
ed him more for his dinner or supper.
So the deep-wood animals always
kept their doors and windows we'll
locked and barred when the weather
became very cold and the snow deep
and hard. But one night when Mr..
Fox had been over the hill and was
bringing home goose and a Zen he
saw old Mr.. Wolf stalking along the
road and coming right toward him.
To run would only let old Mr. Wolf
know he was afraid. and besides that
Mr.. Fox did not want to lose the good
breakfast and dinner he had Just pro-
cured with a great deal of trouble.
He had to think quickly, but Mr..
Fox could do that when he was in a
tight place, so he just glanced about
and set his wits at work to save him
self and his food Right by the side
of the road he saw, by the bright
moonlight which shown on the snow,
a big barrel SO he ran behind it and
put his goose and hen on the ground
and then ran down the road to meet
old Mr.. Wolf, who was not far away
by this time.
Good evening, Mr.. Wolf" said Mr.
Fox, in his sweetest tones, just as
though he never in his life was afraid
of Mr.. Wolf, but all the time Mr. Fox
was trembling in his skin
1T is a pretty cold night isn't II? ?"
he said. Il am shivering with the cold
and expect that you are too, in spite
of your very handsome and warm fur
you wear"
Old Mr.. Wolf said he did think it
was a pretty cold night, but he was
trembling with hunger more than the

Il was going to say" admitted the
girl, when happened to be out with
you-if you should ever ask me to

concluded coquettishly.
The man leaned across the little
table, and, as there was nobody near
enough to see his action, took the
girls hands in both OF his. She did
not resist.
