THE STORY is
WHOLLY FALSE
No Girls Being Employed by Hostess
Houses to Dance With Soldiers
Some Enemy Has
Told This.

A story was recently published in
the Chicago Tribune stating that
three hundred girls were employed
at the hostess house, Camp Lewis,
American Lake, Wash, to dance with
soldiers. This created an up
roar and the local secretary has
been piled with many questions by in
dignant people. Miss milford i'm
mediately took steps to learn the
truth Of the matter. She just re-
ceived a communication from Anna
owens, a secretary of the north cen
trail field committee, giving tele-
grams from ladies high in authority.
which shows that the story has no
foundation in act as far as the Y.
w. C. A. is concerned. This story
seems to be on the par with many
others started to injure the noble
work hat is being done by the Y.
w. C.. A, and other organizations.

VOTING ON
CONSUMPTION
Women Of Canada Have Chance to
Cast Ballots and May Have
power in the
RocUIf -a-

MONTREAL, Que. Dec. 17.-Canada
IS voting on CONSUMPTION today. The
union government, headed by Sir
Robert Borden, is up for reelection.
1t is opposed by Sir Wilfred Laurier's
liberals, who are pledged to dtlay OPP
Grafton of the conscription law, put
through by the unionists.
The votes of 100000 Canadian sol
diers in the trenches and of the wo-
men relatives of these troops may de-
eide the issue. These women rela-
tives were recently enfranchised and
are casting their first ballots today.
The union fight has been made on
the ground that defeat of CONSUMPTION
now after it has been enacted, n
after the first call for troops under it
has been set for January 3, will make
the troops abroad believe they are be-
ing deserted. Borden's greatest
strength is in western Canada. The
province of Quebec, in which the
French vote is strong, may elect more
liberals than %unionists to parliament.
hut Borden expects to win in the west.
The election in Halifax has been
postponed and the vote in some distant
provinces will not be taken until later.

Keokuk Patriotism Put TO the
TEST This Week

ALI over the country PEG
pie are being pressed to join
the Red Gross this week.
Most of this is being done by
seeing them and staying
with them till they give
usually willingly, sometimes
unwillingly. The Keokuk
chapter is going to put her
citizens in a different class
and trust them to this
patriotic act voluntarily.
There are women in every
neighborhood in town who
have consented to act as
agents or centers for Red
Cross subscriptions. Head
quarters have been estab-
lished at 504 Main street
where the big Red Gross flag
waves.
Go to the women agents
and give them your sub
scription and your dollar or
two dollars-or go to 5O4
Main street and do it.
Do it early and have every
member of the family en-
rolled so your service flag
may show in your window
with a star for everyone in
the house.
The first block to have a
1909 membership will be
given publicity. Subscrip-
tions are coming in to head
quarters rapidly the first day
and they should come in a
steady stream all the week.
Don't pass a center
placard in a residence or
the big banner on Main
street without going in and
leaving a membership in the
Red Cross.

Earl Mcdaniel, moulder at the

very enthusiastic about Tanlac. the
new tonic he obtained at Wilkinson's
drug store.
Several years Of stomach trouble
so wore upon my constitution that |
was very weak. l scarcely ate enough
to keep me going" said MI. Mcdaniel.
My food disagreed with me and
gave me heartburn.
But I feel perfectly strong anw and
want to thank Tanlac for the way it
helped me. l have a good appetite
and no matter what | eat don't have
those awful spells of Indigestion"
If you are not feeling right try
Tanlac. Sour stomach which causes
heartburn, bloating, headaches, bad
taste in the mouth, dizzy spells and
that general tired feeling all are
signs that nature needs help to get
your system back in order.
Tanlac is a tonic. 1t overcomes
those so-called Modern Maladies'
and it is highly endorsed by scores
because it acts so favorably.
Tanlac Is sold and recommended by
the Wilkinson Drug Co., Keokuk, and
other frst-class stores in nearby
