At a recent meeting Of many leading

ISOLATION. Raymond b Fesdiek, chair
man OF the commission on training

said In part:
"On the Mexican border last sum
mer- | car remember that in some Of
these lonely camps as the train
stopped at the watering tank the SOL
diers would come through asking II
we had anything to read-a book. a
magazine or even a newspaper. They
were absolutely without ANYTHING to
read and often had nothing TO do.
"A situation like that must never
occur again, and I do not believe II
will occur again; / believe the old
days are past"
Through a committee on camp
libraries and a library war council, Of
which Frank A. Vanderlip. president
OF the National Bank Of Nav York
is Chairman, the American Library as
ISOLATION has started to raise one mil
lion dollars with which TO construct,
equip and maintain the camp libraries.
Each camp Will thus have a chain OF
main and branch Libraries =
tionstely equal In size and variety of
literature to those of many great
cities.
Every city IN the land is being
asked TO contribute an amount equal
to 5 per cent of its population. This
movement will appeal to every man.

atives or friends in the army or not.
Letters already received by the COM
r1tttee on camp libraries show that
the men actually crave good books.
One dollar will provide a book and

snd heated library building with a
comfortable and attractive reading
room. 1t will provide trained and ex-
perienced librarians. II will keep the
book IN circulation and repair for

have a population OF. nearly $4,000
men, branches OF the main library will
have to be distributed around in vari-
u parts of each c-antonment.

OF the disease spreading from the home
OF jonah n. Goode at Grimes. six
miles north of Winchester. where his

Thursday after an iliness OF forty
eight hours.
The early discovery OF the disease
and the prompt measures taken to
effect its isolation and confne the dis
ease where IL made It's frst appear
ance. will result in stamping the
soourge out completely. is the belief
of the medical authorities who have
the case In charge.
There Is not the slightest cause for

Of parents and children Isolation
of children. who are particularly eus-
ceptible 10 the disease. although II
may attack adults. and scrupulous

The burial of the Goode child was
