Young MEMS CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION
DRIVE.

Next in Importance to the Red
Cross Society. in the work of look |
ing after the safety and comfort OF
our soldiers, both in the training
camps at home and in the trenches
in France, comes the Young Mems
Christian Association, an organiza-
ton, composed principally of young
men. that is trying to provide our
boys, who are fighting or preparing
TO fight for the liberties Of mankind.
with some OF the comforts of home.
In every army camp the Y. NJ. C. A.
has erected large buildings wherein
religious exercises are held twice
week, and which are fitted up with
libraries, reading rooms. writing
rooms, which are in fact social clubs,
where the boys, after the hard work
Of the day is over, can meet and en-
joy the comforts provided for them.
In addition to providing them with
home or club comforts, all kinds Of
amusements and entertainments,
such as concerts, moving pictures,
lectures. etc., are furnished free by
this splendid organization, and as
the result OF the activities of the Y.
NJ. c. A. army life is made easier
and more pleasant for our boys. To
do all this requires money, and
money can only be obtained by sub
scription among the people at home.
Next week the drive will start to
raise the sum Of $25. 900, 900 and
the parish Of Tensas is expected to
subscribe the sum of 81, 500. Our
people have been generous in the
past. they have been alive to every
duty and have literally responded
70 every call that has been made on
them. and We are confident that this
will be no exception to the rale; let
every person give something. no
matter how little. oversubscribe the
amount asked for and thus keep
Tensas on the Roll Of Honor.

Miss cron, Who Is Conducting the
keokuk and County InvestIga-
tlon on Tuberculosis,
Tells Of Work.

At the regular monthly meeting Of
the Physicians club of Keokuk. held
last evening in the Tiffany room of
the Hotel Iowa, plans were made to
take care Of the practice of doctors
who may be called away from Keo-
kuk on account of their connection
with the Red Cross or other war
organizations. The doctors also
heard Miss Hulda Cron, who ts doing
special investigation work here
under the auspices Of the Iowa Anti
tuberculosis society and the Visiting
Nurse association of Keokuk.
A committee was appointed by the
physicians to look into some plan by
which the practice Of doctors who
are absent on account Of the war
may be kept up. 1t was suggested
that plans similar to those In other
cities, where the absent doctors in
terests are looked after by some of
those who remain at home, and the
fees are divided, could be used here
Inc committee named last night will
report at a called meeting.
Tuberculosis Survey.
Miss Cron, who is doing some
special survey work under the aus
pieces of the Iowa Anti-Tuberculosis
! society, told of the tuberculosis sur
vey being made in the state. She
has been in Grinnell, Davenport. and
other cities in the state, and expects
to make her survey Of Keokuk and
Lee county, and to report at pub
lie meeting the conditions in the
county The object of the work, Miss
Cron explained, was to find out the
prevalence Of disease and the facili-
ties for taking care Of patients. She
asked the cooperation of the physi-
clans Of the city In the efforts to
curb tuberculosis.
She spoke of having found houses
here where there had been three or
four deaths from tuberculosis in diff
ferent families which had occupied
the house: also OF cases where the
! disease ran through families. The
| visiting nurses. the doctors we're
! told. were very willing, and 1t was
/, part Of their duty to go into these
! homes and to teach the people how
to carry out doctors orders. The
Visiting Nurse association was ready
to assist wherever possible and furn.
fish the paper supplies. such as
sputum cups and napkins for tubercu-
lous patients.
/ Miss Cron's work IN Keokuk is
directly under the auspices of the
Visiting Nurse association, which is
paying her for her time here.
