Campaign to Urge Regular School At
tendance Set for Aug 1918.
Des Moines, Aug. Necessity OF
continuing all educational institutions
during the war with increased effort
to keep the youth of school-going age
at heir desks, will be urged during
Educational Week in Iowa. Aug. II to
49, recently proclaimed by Governor w.
l.. Harding. ....-
A. H. Deyoe, state superintendent of
public instruction, in outlining the pur-
pose of the week, asked the closest CO.
operation on the part of all county SUI
perintendents Of schools.
The week will not be for teachers
and persons directly connected with
the educational system of the state
Mr.. Deyoe said, but will be rather for
the laymen. In this time of national
emergency, it is vital that all persons
be prepared to do any service that may
be demanded of them.
ITO this end we will urge all per-
sons of school going age to continue
their education as the best possible
training for service. In this time of
war; we must not make the mistake Of
obliSl lIabicio ny pei AA1AsefHS oNA oS'ASSAH
to be closed and our educational sys-
tenn to be retarded. Following the war
there will be a greater demand for
trained men and women in all branches
of industry and endeavor than ever
before. Knowing this, we do not intend
that the state of Iowa sha'' suffer by
any breach in the educational work.
For those students who are forced
to work during the day, a movement
will be started for the establishment
of night schools The practical courses
will be emphasized. Particularly it is
unpatriotic for men being trained in
agriculture and the professions, who
are almost at the completion Of their
education, to give up this training un-
less they are called into service"
The meetings and local campaigns
during the week set aside by the gov
ernor will be in charge Of the county
superintendent. Aid will be given them
in their work from the office of the
state superintendent Of public instruc-
ton. The week, state officials say, is
strictly for the layman.

Ames, Aug. 1.-THE educational re-
sources OF the colleges and universities
of Minnesota, North Dakota, South
Dakota, Nebraska and Iowa as far as
possible probably will be placed at the
command of the recruits from these
states who are to be trained for the
army at the great Cantonment at Camp
Dodge, Des Moines. That this should
be done was the unanimous verdict If
conference of college representatives
at Iowa State College.
After an all-day discussion, the con-
ference adopted resolutions asking the
state board of education in Iowa to
appoint an executive officer. to repre-
sent the colleges of the five states at
the cantonment, who would carefully
list all of the work of the colleges that
may be suitably offered to the men in
Camp Dodge and Cooperate with the
camp authorities and such agencies as
tne Y. NJ. c. A. and the Knights of
Columbus in placing this work at the
service Of those who want to do more
or less serious study. The resolutions
also favor an advisory committee of
one college man from each state. This
offer was approved by representatives
of the war work council of the Y. NJ.
c. A.. who were in attendance, inClud-
ing William Orr educational secretary
for the war work council. and A. B.
Dale, executive officer in charge OF the
Y. NJ. c. A. war work at Camp Dodge.
Great Educational Task
This educational work is so big a
task that it takes a good deal Of
imagination to size it up properly"
said Mr.. Orr to the conference. There
will be $4,000 men at Camp Dodge.
After the first few weeks are out Of
the way, they will find that they have
from a couple of hours upward OF
leisure time every day. If only one
man in nine wants to make use Of at

Good News For
Foot Sufferers

If you have tired, swollen, aching. burning.

luses here is good news for you.
Recently in the treatment of foot troubles
by patients using Ice-Mint, these distinctive
features were noticeable. Tired, aching, burn
ing and swollen feet invariably became cool.
easy and comfortable after the first appica-
ton, while in the treatment of corns and cal
lusesy It was noticed that after a few nights
application. the eorns or calus had a tendency
to loosen and in a short time could easily be
lifted out with the fingers-root and all-Ieav-
ing the surrounding skin in normal healthy
condition.
When you stop to consider that the simple.
pleasant process of rubbing a little Ice-Mint
on the foot at night will shortly rid of
every painful corn or callus and will keep the
feet COOL comfortable and rested the hot
test days, it is easy to understand why it is
thought that foot troubles will soon be a
thing of the past.
Ice-Mint is an entirely new departure from
the disagreeable old time foot remedies, mas
much as it is absolutely harmless and comes
in the form of snow white creamy prepare
ton. which is delightful and easy TO apply.
