government from selling to 1t anything
in which he has an interest.
Inasmuch as the greatest business
interests Of the country are represent
ed on the advisory committee OF the
council, the enactment OF the provi'
sion, the president thinks, would dis
rupt all the machinery set up TOT an
efficient, economical conduct OF the
war by marshaling the country's pest
brains and resources.
APPEALS TO AUTHOR.
President Wilson has written let
ter to Senator Mcclellan, author OF the
amendment. which is similar to one
offered by Senator Kenyon, saying
such legislation would be calamity.
He pointed out that business men on
the committees have not the power to
demand the price they shall receive
for commodities sold the government,
whether or not they are interested in
them. All sorts Of safeguards. the
president declares. have been taken
TO prevent advantage being taken of
the government.
The administration is much DIS
turbed by the continued attacks IN
congress on the advisory committees
and the defense council because OF his
belief that these bodies have done as
much as any other agency tc put the
nation in it's present position OF pre-
paredness it now stands.
QUARREL IN CABINET.
Business men on some OF the more
important committees have been seri-
ously disturbed by the threatened DIFF.
flculty between Secretary Baker and
Secretary Lane over the price Of coal.
Members of the munitions committee
were said today to have informed Sec.
rotary Baker that the only successful
way to deal with munition makers is
by conference and cooperation.

FACT THAT MANS PARENTS
WERE GERMAN is SOURCE
OF WORRY.

Council Bluffs, July 7.-Great Brit
aims demand that no physicians OF
German descent be connected in any
way with hospital work at the allied
front in Europe, has resulted In 1T
least disbarring DR.. L. e. Hansen from
going to France with Hospital Unit K
in event it is called. DR.. Hansen Is
American born but his father was q
German. His mother was an Ameri-
can.
Influence is being used to secure q
countermand Of the order barring DR..
Hansen.
The British order barring American
doctors of German descent from going
with the Red Cross units to the front
was made on the grounds that spies
might be able to get behind the battle
lines and establish communications
with the Teutons.
DR.. Hansen believes that the order
may be countermanded and is still hop
ing to go with the unit.

cUFFv FRIeHTENs HIS MOTHER

CUFFY FRlGHTENS HIS MOTHER
When Cuffy Bear reached home,
after his adventure with the bees, he
found that his father and mother and
his sister Silkie were just sitting down
to their evening meal. Cuffy didn't
speak to them as he came into the
room where they were. He felt too
miserable to say word, with his face
aching and burning. and terrible
smarting In his eyes. So he just
stumbled inside the room and tried to
make himself as small as he could,
so he wouldn't be noticed.
Cuffy's parents and his little sister
all looked at the little bear who had
come into their house without even a
knock And his father said, In CROSS
voice.
Go away, little bear. Where are
your manners"
Cuffy didn'. know what to make Of
that. He didn't know what his father
meant. So he just stood there and
stared.
What do you want?" his father
asked him. Whose little bear are
you! And whatever is the matter
with your face?"
Actually, Cuffys own father didn't
know him. And neither did his mother
or his sister You see, Cuffy's face
was so swollen from the bees stings
that his face. did not look like little
bears face at all. His nose, instead
of being smooth and pointed, was one
great lump. And he hadn't sign OF
an eye-just two Sits.
whats the matter with you?" Mr..
Bear asked again. "Are you Ill? Have
you the black measles?'
AT that, Mrs. Bear rose hastily from
the table and snatched Silkie up from
her high-chair and took her right out
of the room. The thought OF black
measles frightened Mrs. Bear. You
know, they are ever so much wors

"What-what's all this you are tell

had sufficiently recovered his voice
and could get word in.
Alice looked at him in wonder. His
face was study in indignation.

and everybody seems to think she's so

And Alice has not quite Strengthened

how it worked. Moreover. she has de.

and she's learned to be careful OF what
she says.

than plain measles. And she was
afraid Silkie would catch them.
Well, poor Cuffy felt more miser-
able than ever. He saw that his own
family didn't know him. And he won
dered what was going to become of
him. Then, when his father told him
very sternly to leave his house at
once, Cuffy began to cry.
"Oh! oh! OH" he sobbed. "It'a
me- it's only mel" he cried. That
very morning, at breakfast, his father
had told him to say 1T is l." instead
of 1T is me-" But Cuffy forgot all
about that, now.
What! Are you my Cuffy?" his
father exclaimed. For he knew Cuffy
at last. You see, the bees hadn't
stung Cuffy's voice. And in no time
at all Cuffy was tucked into his little
bed and his mother was gently lick
ing his poor, aching face with her
tongue. Among bears that is thought
to be the very best thing to do for
blessings.
After while Guilty stopped crying.
And it was not long before he had
fallen asleep.
But 1t was two days before Cuffy
Bear felt, really himself again. And
then his father went off into the forest
with him and Cuffy led the way to
the bee-tree; for Mr.. Bear knew
enough about bees so that he could
take their honey away from them
without getting stung badly. He didn't
mind just few stings, you know.
Well-what do you think happenedH
When they came to the old tree Mr..
into which Cuffy had thrust his paw.
And then he began to laugh. though
he was somewhat disappointed, as you
will see.
Those aren't bees!" he told Cuffy.
That's a hornets nest =. We'd
get no honey there"

Des Moines, July NO publication
may now be largely sold in Iowa

The law is made readily enforcible
through an injunction feature which
would permit the closing of any news
