supplies will later be established by
the country. In the meantime it is
suggested that local arrangements
be made for storage and that the Red
Cross be kept informed of the place,
together with the number and con-
tents of boxes available.
For some years the American Red
Cross has carried on educational work
with the intention of improving the
efficiency of the people in time of
war, civil disaster, or emergency in
their homes.
1t is hoped that Chapters will give
special attention to the four courses
of instruction which may be organ
lied through Chapters.
These courses are as follows:
First Aid (For women and men
10 lessons.)
Elementary Hygiene and Home
Care of the Sick (for Women-15
lessons.)
Home Dietetics Cor Women-15
lessons.)
Preparation of Surgical Dressings
(For Women-8 lessons.)
The course in First Aid for Wom-
en- supplies useful and practical
knowledge which all women should
have, but does not provide the quail
ificaSon necessary for nursing serv-
ice in time of war.
The course in First Aid for Men
besides giving valuable training, is a
prerequisite for those who may de-
sire to fit themselves for membership
in Red Cross organizations formed
for service with the Armed Forces OF
| the United States.

Organized only a few weeks ago,
the Pensacola unit of the American
Red Cross society, with headquarters
in the Brent building, ga, (Phone
539) is today the busiest place in
Pensacola, and in answer to the ques
tons concerning this work, which
are constantly being asked, the fol-
lowing information is published:
The National Red Cross has been
designated by congress and the proc
lamation of the president of the
United States of August %, 1911, as
the agency which must make prep
arations in time of peace to assist the
medical departments of the army
and navy in war.
Base hospital units are now being
organized under special instructions
from the surgeons general of the
army and navy, and the public is ear
nestTy requested to assist not only in
the contribution of money, but in the
preparation of the necessary supplies,
especially those which can be made
by volunteer workers.
The Red Cross is anxious to have
available a sufficient quantity of
n-perishable goods to meet the
first overwhelming demands should
our country be involved in war. After
war is declared, even if the money
is available, the markets, factories
and other sources of supply are sc
much upset that great delays woult
be inevitable. 1t has always hap
pened that, when the needs of wal
arise, the means of meeting then
are not available and vast amour
of suffering is caused which could b.
prevented by such provision as il
now proposed.

in daily life, and is a prerequisite for
women who are DESTROYS of qualify
ing themselves to serve as nurses
aids in Red Cross Base Hospitals in
time of war; but further training is
required before complete qualifica

The mere fact that a woman has
taken such a course does not neces-
sarily guarantee her selection for this
service, neither does it place her I'M

The course in Dietetics is new and
an outline of the course will be pub

COD BLESS You. HONEY


A little Southern poem, which win
appeal to many in the Southland,
where the old negro nanny is held
In the greatest love and reverence:
"God bless you, naoneyw-Far away
Those words come sounding back to-
day;
A morning blessing meant to shield
Our varying path as, far afeld,
We started forth, joyous band.
Of happy Migrants, through the
land;
And l, careless child once more,
See framed within the cabin door
An ebony face, whose loving care
Helped God to answer her own prayer
AS singing at her work, her eyes
Kept faithful watch on truant feet,
Wandering where the summer skies
Kissed into bloom the the roses sweet.
"God bless you, honey"-glad and
clear,
The greeting once again | hear,
When the long beams of evening trail
Across the hilltops and the vale;
Bringing the children home again,
A happy but disheaveled train;
And with the words, her kindly hand
Seemed all their needs to understand
AS deft she soothed each fancied woe
A bandage for the bruised toe.
A soft caress for briar- scratch,
The skillful placing of patch
Upon the ill-starred trouser knee
That met its fate upon the "ellum'
tree;
A loving stroke for each moist head
A balm for wounds that lately bled;
And when the evening meal was done
And all the evening prayers were
said,
"God bless you, Honey" seemed t.
run
In dreams through each white-pil'
lowed head.
Alas! the children's heads are gray
And scattered wide on life's highway
But singing through the toll anc
care
] hear again this homely prayer,
And oft when lowering skies lool
down,
l fancy that it still has power,
To ward all evil from the hour,
And with its old enchantment swee
Hold mystic spell on wandering feet

URIC ACID IN MEAT
CLOGS THE KIDNEYS
TAKE a GLASS OF SALTS IF YOUR
BACK HURTS OR BLADDER

II you must have your meat every
day, eat 1t, but flush your kidneys with
salts occasionally, says noted author
ity who tells us that meat forms uric
acid which almost paralyzes the kid
neys in their efforts to expel it from
the blood. They become sluggish and
weaken. then you suffer with dull
misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache, diz-
illness, your stomach sours, tongue is
coated and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The urine
gets cloudy, full Of sediment, the chan
nels often get sore and irritated, oblig-
ing you to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
To neutralize these Irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off the
sbodys urinous waste get four ounces
Of Jad Salts from any pharmacy here;
take 0lespoonful in a glass Of wa
i 2a breakfast for a few days and
your Kidneys will then act fine. This
famods salts Is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for genera
lions to flush and stimulate sluggish
kidneys also to neutralize the acids
in urine, so it no longer trritates, thus
ending bladder weakness.

ROBBED OF L,FE's SAVINGS.
Lursd by Story Of $4,000 Inheritance,
6ettendorf Laborer Gives Up $500.


Davenport, Feb. 1S-To be told thar
q rich relative in Austria had died and
left him $4,000 and then lose his LIES
savings amounting to $1,000, was the
experience of Ivan Cork. an Austrian.
employed at the Bettendorf stone quar-
ry, according to the story Cork told
the Davenport police last Saturday
afternoon. According to Gork's story
to the police stranger visited him
at the quarry Thursday morning and
informed him that he had inherited
$4,000 in Austria. He was told to
come to Davenport and meet Chi
cago attorney who would see that he
got the fortune.
Cork claims he accompanied the
stranger to Davenport. On Third and
Brady streets, they We're met by an
other man who posed as the attorney.
Cork was informed that in order to get
the Inheritance it would be necessary
for him to show that he had S1,2OO.
Friday, Cork claims, he accom-
panied the two men to the bank and
drew out $1,000, his life's savings. The
money was placed in tin box. The
men then asked Cork to accompany
them to a rooming house at 214la East
Third street. In order to prove his
claim the men informed Cork that 1t
would be necessary for them to go to
Clinton. He was told to remain at the
rooming house. They promised to re-
turn Saturday morning at o'clock.
When the men failed to return Sat
urday morning Cork became suspicious
that something was wrong. He opened
the box in which he had placed the
money. Instead of his $1,000 he dicov-
cred that the box was filled with old
paper.

Special tosT Times Republican,
Iowa City, sFeb. 1s.-To be styled a
"dog"-in highly complimentary fash
ion, and to have the, epithet coupled
with a glowing eulogy--that is the ex-
perience of Herbert G. Hoover, the for
mer Cedar county boy, whose vital
duties have carried him from the viii
lage Of West Branch to London. In his
management Of the Belgium relief
fund he has won International fame.
Friends here have received a clipping
from the New York Times, which
reads in part as follows:
Il think it is 5000, oOo;eo0 altpge ether
that has been raised for Belgium by
the activities headed by Mr.. Hoover.
In way, no other man outside Of
fetal life has carried such a load. He
has unhesitatingly sacrificed his pri-
vate interests, which are very large.
He has had the satisfaction Of stand
ing in the middle Of the belligerents
and dealing with them all. He has
been the horse and the wagon and
the dog under the wagon-in other
words, the whole thing
His fight has been on internal lines
with a vengeance. One week his busi-
ness has been with the kaiser, his gen
erals and ministers; the next, with the
French government and the next, with
the British prime minister.
His activities have excited the
greatest admiration in the highest cir
cles. They have wanted him very
much to become an English citizen,
and don't think I exaggerate when :
say that the house Of lords would not
have been beyond his reach if he had
consented to change his allegiance.
But thru all these years Of resi-
dence in London he kept his American
ism fresh and nothing could induce
him to give up his native country"
