OFFER GIFT TO HOSPITAL
CAMPAIGN FUND
Order Will Contribute Fifty Cents For
Every Dollar Donated From
Two Counties.
APPEAL is MADE FOR SUPPORT.

A definite offer of fifty cents fol-
every dollar by the citizens of Dodge
and Jefferson Counties for ST Mary's
Hospital, is made by the Sisters Of the
Order in charge of the Institution
i. e. If the citizens give $4,000, the
Sisters will put in $4,000 more; il
the public contributes $4,000, the Sis
ters will add $37 800, to this sum and
so on.
Thus the additional sum offered is
a gift larger than that made by Mr.
Carnegie to the Public Library of Wat
ertown.
To secure this munificent donation
NOW is the time to act, and every
public spirited citizen should step to
the front and help build hospital
that will be big enough, and SO COM
pletely equipped, that all who apply
for admittance, or treatment, will find
a place
You do not know when you, or yours
may need the care only to be had in a
hospital; be wise enough to provide
for this haven of refuge NOW when
it is offered to you on such gift terms.
Tirue is a relentless master, and will
demand an accounting, for the many
good things he has given you; Can
fly your idea Of charity?
This is your opportunity to put your
money in place where it will do
much good; you cannot take it with
you when you die. Every day you see
legal and family squabbles over money
should have been applied, than the
use which is now being made of it by
their heirs.
If these men had only administered
a part ofstheir estate, with the same
good sense. and wisdom. they used in
accommodating their money, they
would have done much good for their
fellow men, instead of leaving a heri-
tage of rancor, jealousy and ill-feel-
ing, to their heirs
A few thousand planted in a public
charity, like the hospital, would have
prepared the way for many grateful
thought sent back, to the benefac-
tor, by the sick who had a place in the
good will of the donor
In years to come you will be proud
to point out to your children, possibly
your grandchildren, your name on a
room, q ward, or a bed and say" This
is how | helped to build and equip
this hospital for the poor, sick and af-
flicted who will for all times have a
place to go when the direct need of
sickness overtakes them In more
ways than one, when you help St.
Mary's Hospital you are helping your

SCHOOL HEALTH CHARTS.
fresh Air. Sunshine and Cleanliness
Are Best DiSinfectants.

The schOOlroom should be the SAT-
est place in the world, next to the
nome. Too many schoolrooms are
hot beds of disease endangering life
and health"
Such is the reason for a chart on
communicable diseases among school
children which has just been prepar-
ed by the health instruction bureau
of the University of Wisconsin Exten-
sion division, in cooperation with the
Wisconsin Anti-tuberculosis associa-
tion. 1t will be sent to all rural
teachers in the state to be posted in
a prominent place in the schoolroom.
Facts about all diseases common to
school children, early symptoms, of
the disease, method of infection, in
cubation period, and facts about ex-
tabulated form.
Advice about schoolroom ventila-
ion and the kind of food best suited
Tor cold lunches is given on the back
of the chart. Fresh air, sunshine,
and cleanliness, are the best disin-
,ectants, according to the chart, and
no school district or family is too
poor to supply them.
That is the teachers business to
see that her pupils have healthy
Hodies, as well as to train them in
heir studies, is especially emphasized
Not only colds and other contagious
diseases should be attended to by the
teacher, it declares, but she should
watch for poor eyesight and adenoids
and urge the parents to have the de-
fects remedied

HIGH PRICES

II. r. Lemen, the manager OF the
Christian Home Orphanage, at Couns
Gil Bluffs, Iowa, has written us the
following letter:
The Christian Home Orphanage
has been in existence thirty-four
years. Never, during all this time,
has it been the serious problem to
meet the needs of the work thar it
is this fall, on account of high
prices for all living necessities.
Because of lack of funds, we have
been wholly unable to lay in any
winter supplies, and on account
of the high price of potatoes and
flour, our usual donations OF these
two necessary commodities have
failed to materialize this fall.
+ LAS "a result of these things, we
come up to the beginning of the
winter season, the severest season
of the whole year on the Home,
with most serious problem COLI
fronting us.
Living expenses everywhere are
very much higher than last year,
ard our cash receipts lower.
In addition to all this, the pop
ulation of the Home is greater
this fall than ever before in the
past--there being at this writing
two hundred and seventy homeless
boys and girls looking to us for
three square meals daily
If the friends of this work will
try to add just Il little more than
usual to their fall donation, and
if all who are reading this who
have never helped the Home will
send a check, this great increase
in our expenses will he fully met.
Eve feel that you all know that
these high prices affect the Home,
Audubon County journal. (Exira, Iowa) 1884-1993, 1916-11-02

the same as everybody else, and
that whatever sum you feel able
to send will be sent promptly.
Thanking you in advance for
any assistance you may give us iR
the care of this little army of
boys and girls, which will be vastly
increased as colder weather ap-
proaches, we are, yours sincerely"
