Monday, October 1st. will be used
by DR.. H. " Scarborough, director,
and his assistants in making prelimin-
ary examinations.
Tuesday, October End, at 10 o'clock
the clinic will begin. The emphasis
will be placed on pulmonary tubercu-
losis as it is we'll known that this
form of tuberculosis in it's early stag
es is difficult to diagnose. The clinic
is school of instruction, sort of
short course, attended by the physi-
clans throughout the two counties,
who will bring or send patients that
they may have advantage of the
knowledge of specialists on tubercu-
losis.
All the details of the meeting are
being worked out by the medical so
ciety and the physicians of these coun
ties are showing great interest in this
new institution. The county tubercu-
losis idea is strictly an Iowa idea
DR.. A. E. Kepford. in charge Of the
department of tuberculosis of the
Board of Control, is cooperating with
the medical society, and it is just pos
sible a great public meeting will be
held on Tuesday evening. October End,

A recent tuberculosis clinic was held
at Clarion in Wright county, which
proved to be most remarkable. DR.. H
V. Scarborough was director, assisted
by DR.. J. W. Kline Some twenty
five physicians were in attendance,
and fifteen persons were examined It
is said that in the history of the
Wright county medical society no more
interesting meeting has been held. At
the close of the clinic, a standing vote
of thanks was extended to Dr. Scar
borough, DR.. Kline. DR.. Kepford and
the board of control for their co-op-
Grafton.
The people of both Delaware and
Clayton counties are urged to take ad-
vantage of this free examination by

when persons suffering with persistent
coughs and colds, or who suspect they
may have tuberculosis, are seeking ex-
pert advice 1t is we'll known that
in it's early stages is diff
ficult to diagnose. Physicians every
where recognize this fact and there

HOW GOOD READING WILL BENE.
FIT THE BOYS IN KHAKI.

Chicago Herald)


Soldiers are clamoring for books
good books.
And what soldier wants he should
have. He is risking his life for
America, and who Is 1t that can say
him nay?
You will have the chance this week
to do your part in providing the
fighting men with the mental stimula-
ton and emotional comfort which on
iy books bring.
The American Library Association
is behind the movement. President
Wilson and Secretary Baker suggest
ed it. The war library council is dir
ecting a gigantic drive for "a million
dollars for a million books for mil
lion men,"
The minds of the fighting men are
in need, for while the soldier Of Un-
Gle Sam may travel on his stomach
he has proved the exception to the
usual army man in every other par
ticular.
The father and mother who thought
their boy would be like a lamb among
wolves when he reached camp have
found that their little lamb, while
thoroughly enjoying the outdoor life
after his cooped-up existence of twen-
ty-one years or more, has not forgot
ten his early training and that he and
his companions are just as fine chaps
as beforehand much more studious.
For the cry arising from can
tonments and naval training camps is
not for better food or less work but
for more good books!
Unusual, unexpected, and without
precedent in army circles, but true,
nevertheless. There developed as di-
rect result the nationwide movement
which is to raise $1000,O0O for can
tonment libraries during the coming
week. ..,..s. 81. t,.-.,.-.
