THETAS GIVE MONEY
FOR HOSPITAL WORK
National Organization Sub
scribes $3,862 to Supply IS
Nurses in Base Hospital.
DECIDED IN SUMMER
Local Chapters Share Is SOL,
Which Has Been Sent to
Red Cross.

The Kappa Alpha Theta sorority o,
Q national chapter, has entered an un
usual field Of war relief work in Civ
ing $3.S62 to the Red Cross for thu
supply Of the complete equipment re-
Quired for the sixty-five nurses In &
base hospital. This action was de.
cided upon at the national Theta con.
vention held at Charlevoix, Mich, this
summer.
This convention was called ON the
instigation Of p. P. Claxton, United
States Commissioner of Education
who urged all organizations to make
some definite decisions in regard to
the war. At this meeting as a meas
ure Of conservation the sorority out
lined all their work for the next few
years SO that another convention will
not be necessary for some time.
The motto Of the convention was
opportunity" and the keynote of the
meetings was national service. Many
kinds OF service to the country were
discussed by the Thetas but the supply
Of the hospitals at the front, appeal
ed most to the delegates. In answer
to the cry to do work at home the
Theta scholarship fund was increased.
encouraging more to attend school.
The sorority divided the subscrip-
ton among the chapters. The share
Of the chapter at the University of
Missouri is SCI which it has already
sent to the Red Cross headquarters
The girls Of the sorority here don't
know at what point on the battle
front the money will be utilized to
equip the nurses of hospital, as the
money is now in the hands of the Red
Cross. They are all much interested
in the matter and anxious to find out
II possible the location Of the hospital.
but are rather doubtful as to whether
they will be informed or not.
Four delegates attended the con-
vention from the local chapter and in
telling Of the proceedings. character
ized the convention as "enthusiastical-
ly patriotic" During the whole con-
vention, which in other years has
been more or less of a frivilous affair,
the delegates knitted for the soldiers
and made bandages and surgical
dressings. On the last night of the
convention all the delegates sat up
till 2 o'clock doing this work.

Accepted for Army Work.

Herman Olcott, football coach of
the University of Kansas for the last
five years, has been accepted by the
War Department as director of ath-
letics at one Of the training camps.
1t was reported that he was to be di-
rector at the Great Lakes Naval Train

from there, stating that DR.. John B.
Kaufman, past assistant surgeon, U.
S. n; will continue as director at
that camp.
No successor has been named for
Coach Olcott, but it is probable that
Jay Bond, the freshman coach, will

MEAT CAUSE OF
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take glass of Salts if your Back
hurts or Bladder bothcrs-
Meat forms uric acid.

If you must have your meat every
day. eat it. but flush your kidneys with
salts occasionally, says a noted author
ity who tells us that meat forms uric
acid which almost paralyZes the KID
ueys in their efforts to eXpel 1t from
the blood. They become sluggish and
weaken. then you suffer with a dull
misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache
dizziness. your stomach sours, tongue
is coated and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twingeS. The
urine gets cloudy. full of sediment the
channels often get sore and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
To neutraliZe these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the bodyS urinous waste get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here: take tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for
few days and your kidneys will then
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia. and has
been used for generations to flush and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutralize the acids in urine, so it no
longer irritates. thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad salts is inexpensive: can not in
Jure and makes a delightful effer-
vescent lithia-water drink.-Adver-
tiSement.

AS OUT OF DATE
AS HORSE CARS
Says corn rings, plasters, razor
and eating salves are
taboo now.

Good things should be passed
along. 1t is now said that few drops
of a drug called freezone applied di-
rectly upon a tender, aching corn re-
Heves the soreness and soon the entire
corn, root and all, can be lifted out
without pain.
For little cost a quarter of an ounce
of freezone can be obtained from any
drug store which is claimed to be suf-
ficient to remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet.
This is a drug recently announced
from Cincinnati. 1t is gummy but
dries the moment it is applied and
simply shrivels up the corn without
inflaming or even irritating the
healthy tissue or skin.
Cut this out and lay it on your
wife'S dreSSer.-Adv-

To You
l was sitting where 1 could watch you.
You were young, and handsome. and gay,
And the woman sitting across the aisle
was little, and plain, and gray;
She turned and saw you sitting there,
Yours was a face she knew
And hers was wreathed in happy smile
AS she said, Good morning" to you;
Hou sat there looking into that face
Ill the smile on those lips was dead,
You looked until she had turned away,
Without inclining your head;
saw her face as dueling ground
Where pride and forgiveness met,
ihey struggled and fought in deadly fray.
ana watchlng-my eyes grew wet
Her soul may be dyed like crimson.
,r; But who are you-that you Judge
Ihat you check the light of a soul born
smile,
For some social caste or grudge?
All you who are young and handsome
=. would claim greater joy for your own,
IL you burn your pride, as a sacrifice
On the altar of kindness done.

PiT'1pEes Disappear

There is one remedy that seldom fails
to clear away all pimples, blotches and
other skin eruptions and that makes the
skin soft, clear and healthy.
Any druggist can supply you with
zemo, which generally overcomes all
skin diseases. Acne, eczema, itch, pim-
pies, rashes, black heads in most cases
give way to zemo. Frequently, minor
blemishes disappear overnight. Itching
usually stops instantly. Zeno is a safe.
antiseptic liquid, clean, easy to use and
dependable. It costs only Csc; an extra
large bottle, $780, 1t will not stain, is
not greasy or sticky and is positively
safe for tender, sensitive skins.
