brings back from Europe a warning
that we all should heed. and that is
that the greatest danger at present to

Captain Ficke tells the Davenport
Democrat that he conversed with some
Of the leaders in the armies Of France
and England and that they informed
him 1t we're silly 10 imagine that Ger
many was even near beaten. The cap
tain was informed that it may re-
quire years to gain military decision
over the central powers But victory,
though delayed will come. The war

Confusing the Conscript.

The government has worked a hard
ship upon those young men who were
given to understand that they would
be sent to Camp Dodge Des Moines,
during the present month. Scores of
Rock Island youths had surrendered
their positions and had perfected all
arrangements for leaving their homes
when suddenly they were apprise
that they would have TO be reclassi-
fled under the provisions of the cues
tionnaire and any defniteness as to
the time of their going into training
had been wholly abandoned
Just why the government should
have caused such confusion is not
plain. but Of course there must be
some reason for it. possibly lack OF
clothing or other equipment for the
thousands who were to have gone into
camps under the arrangement that
has Just been cancelled. Whatever
the reason il can't be said to have
been the fault OF the actual sufferers
Many of the boys have been able 70
get back their old Jobs. and will hold
them until they know positively that
they are to go into camp. Others have
obtained employment al anything that
they can find to do that viii keer

Should healthy boy three and one
half years of age take nap in the
afternoon? How often should he be
bathed? Y. f. s.
Answer.-Yes, an afternoon nan is
a great builder and strengthen for
youngsters. A healthy boy is of
course dirty hoy. so we think he
should have niee warm or tepid bath

Answer,-He probably would be less
susceptible TO diphtheria with the dis

tonsils in the throat. AS for whoop-
Ing cough, it probably would make no
difference.

losis in younger persons, and unrec-

persons around middle age, are COM
mon causes of anemia.
Latent or smonldering syphilis, ma

diseases are not unusual causes OF
anemia.
Restriction of the diet to food too
refined or denaturized is certainly a
factor in many cases. People should
endeavor to eat whole wheat in vari-
