MAKE RETURNS
ON SEALS SALE
ENCLOSED ENVELOPES ARE COM.
ING INTO SOCIAL SERVICE
BUREAUS OFFICE DAILY.

| AS the enclosed envelopes are being
returned to the social service bureaus
office on the sale of the Red Cross
seals they are being filed and will not
be opened until the end of this week
This plan allows about ten days for
those persons who received quantity
of seals to return either the stickers or
the money.
Rev. Malcolm Dana, a member Of the
publicity committee on this work, con-
tributes the following statement on
the sales:
Christmas is coming. People are
making up their minds how they will
celebrate. More and more the idea of
giving Christmas, rather than re-
ceiving one, is prevailing. The i'm
mediate, nearby and practical needs of
the community are getting rightful
consideration.
Ottumwa has an opportunity for
those who would give worthily this
Christmas. More attention is being
given to discovering the needs Of the
city. The finding out and removing
of causes of disease and poverty is
seen to be the real way of relief. It
has become evident early in the social
work and study of the community that
the great white plague is the one great
foe to be mastered. A committee Of
forty, for the treatment and proven
ton of tuberculosis" has been form
ed. 1t has been at work A sanitarium
is being equipped to care for our own
patients. Sunnyslope appeals to all
for Christmas remembrance.
Some Of the city churches have the
white gift Of manger Christmas serv-
ices. Individuals and classes make
specific and practical gifts. Other
organizations are thinking over the
matter as to what they can do for the
poor and sick, who most need Christ
mas cheer Lodges will do generously,
and the Ottumwa merchants are al
ways liberal.
Why not make Sunnyslope large
beneficiary in Ottumwa's Christmas
giving? Here are the needs, or rather,
opportunities. The hospital is about
ready for occupancy. 1t needs I'M
mediate equipment: G) beds, linen,
tables and trays are needed for eight
rooms; the cost will be $50 per room;
ca the nurses room will call for a
bed, linen, dresser and chair; cost $50;
(3) the dining room will need equip
ment, tables, chairs, dishes. silver
ware; cost $50: az the kitchen can
be furnished for S25.
Here is the nearby and needy. What
better gift for lodge, Sunday school,
church society, or other organization,
to give at Christmas time than to en-
dow room at Sunnyslope. Glasses
might combine II $50 is too large gift
for them to handle. Will not some
lodge or mercantile establishment see
this opportunity? Buy the Red Cross
seals plentifully. The proceeds are to
be used in putting Sunnyslope in thor
ough repair. Remember this needed
equipment an opportunity to flttingly
observe Christmas.

They Know Advertising Paws.

Five large mail sacks filled with
catalogues of Chicago and Minneap-
olisamail order houses were received
at the local postoffice the past week
and it is safe to say that fully 600
catalogues were thus distributed
among the people Of this section.
Experts have figured that each of
these catalogues cost at least $500,
figuring paper, plates, cost Of print
ing, binding, trimming and finally
delivering into the hands of the
prospective purchaser And the cat
alogues will have to be printed by
the millions in order to get them at
such a low rate. Thus it will be
seen that fully $1,000 has been spent
in advertising by the city houses in
this vicinity. Is it any wonder that
the catalogue houses get the bust

Cottonseed Meal For T attening

terial which they contain, these con-
centrates have proved of very great
value in increasing the digestion coef-

animal the power to get more out Of

highly recommended and we extend
to her warm welcome.
Now is the time to- make up your
mind to attend school. The fall
work is soon completed and then you
are at liberty to begin your work in
the school room. Where will you
attend school? Do you expect to go
far away from your home town to
attend school? We would like to
have you consider your own home
school first. Here you can do just
as we'll and probably better than at
a school located in some city many
miles from here. The cost should
also be taken into consideration in
attending school. You can receive

water system with storage tank high
enough to force water wherever it is
needed. Probably no other improve
ment saves as much labor as does a
water system. On farms where the
tank can be given sufficient elevation
on hillside it can be built in the
ground Of cement, and the water will
be kept cooler than when stored in
tanks elevated above the ground.
Where an ample storage tank is built
the drinking tanks in the various
yards can be small This insures the
water being fresher than when it
would be stored in large open tanks.
In addition to having plenty of wa
ter for the stock to drink, dairy farm
needs water in the room where the
milk is handled and the diary utensils
are washed. There is a lot of drudg-
cry in caring for milk and washing
the pals and cans where water has
to be carried In fact, on diary farm
one of the first things to plan for is a
water system that will put running
water wherever needed. Until this is
done caring for milk is bound to be
drudgery
The source of the water supply must
be thoroughly dependable, and there
should be no question as to it's free
dom from contamination. There is no
quicker way to spread disease than
through contaminated water supply.

Nothing is Of greater Importance on

It is necessary to provide storage tanks

On dairy farms water is Of even
greater Importance than on general live

A great deal of water is required for
