Des Moines, April II. - The Iowa
legislature Is taking the war situation
in hand and Is passing measures to
increase the national guard. to assist
in the increased production OF food :
stuffs. to deprive n man guilty Of
treason Of his real estate and to en-
courage enlistment as much as posi-
BILE.
The Rule bill to provide for drafting
men into the national guard service
Will come up before the senate today.
1t Is doubtful If this measure passes
as it Is considered too drastic in it's
provisions. 1t gives all of the power
as to drafting to the governor. 1t au-
thoriZes the drawing by lot out of a
list of eligible names of those which
shall go. No age limit IS made in the
bill as this is also left to the COVER
nor. The governor would work with
the peace officers in the drafting OF
men into the service.
In addition to the opposition to the
measure because it is regarded as too
severe many of the senators say that
when it comes to drafting that should
be left TO the government. If both the
state and government go into the
drafting business there would be no
end of trouble over it. many senator's

Anti Treason Bill.
A bill directed against treason was
introduced in the senate by the mill
tary committee yesterday. 1T declares:
"Whoever Is convicted of treason
against this state or the United States
shall forfeit to the state all real estate
situated therein and he shall not
thereafter be permitted to acquire by
purchase, descent or otherwise. or to
hold real estate within the state Of
Iowa and all such property thereafter
descending to any such convict shall
at once escheat to the state, provided,
however, that the governor may par
don at any time before commitment"
1t is probable that a bill prepared
by the special committee from the
house and senate arranged for yester
day granting immunity to enlisted men
from judgments for debts will be pre-

This was the indictment against In
diana made by DR.. ]. y. Hurry of Indi-

health, at the Chamber of Commerce
noon luncheon today.
His subject: The necessity of keep
ing well and the value of good health"
was clearly defined
There is too much attention given TO
business and not enough TO health"
said the doctor. THE nation spends mill
lions annually caring for its insane.
This could be saved by promulgating
health Propaganda. Insanity is the re-
suit of disease. No well persons ever
becomes insane,
There is four times as much money
spent by the American people yearly
for drugs than any other nation.
Most of the insanity cases are the
result of paresis. This could be greatly
reduced by preaching and practicing
morality.
Typhoid and other diseases are the
result of dirt and filth. Clean the ma
ton and its people Will be healthy"

The bombardment has been inter
