When the American soldier gets
abroad he will have to choose very
largely between two brands of re-
creation-a clean one provided by the
Y. M. G. A., and the variety of en-
tertainment afforded by the brothel.
"The soldier dn France has two
choices-the Y. M. c. A, or the house
of prostitution" says a French OFF,
Ger who has been at Camp Dodge.
Both are equally open to him I'M
camps where the Y. NJ C. A. is at
work. We find that the soldier pre-
fers the Y. M. C. A., and that is one
reason our government is urging the
Y. M. c. A. to put its units into the
trenches of the French army"
Iowa Asked to Help.
Iowa is soon to be asked to do its
bit in enabling the Y. M. C. A. to CON
tinue its work at home and expend

M. G. A. budget, and Iowa Is asked
to give 100000 of this sum.
The entire state is being organized
for the canvass, which is to be stag
ed during the week beginning Nov. IL.
The campaign is one which now
reaches, or will soon reach every
Iowa home. The army is growing
rapidly, and few in the state have not
dear ones in the army.
1t is to afford them healthful amuse-
ment and entertainment, educational
advantages, religious services, and a

Help In Hospital.
The hospital, too, is not without
the realm OF Y. M. G. A. work. The
sick man is likely to find the Y. M.

means of getting word home. He will
write letters to the home folks, upon
dictation of the soldier, or cheer him
up by friendly conversation and the
latest news from outside.
The work of the Y M. C. A. gets
the highest kind of endorsement from
the officers. Major General E. H.
Plummer, commandant at Camp
Dodge, has instructed officers to see
that every facility Is given the Y. M.

Negroes Have Building.
Down at the south end of the Camp
force of secretaries is busy making
three thousand negroes from Alaba-
ma, who are making, in many cases,
their first trip from the sunny south
feel at home.
Those colored boys fiocked to the
Y. M. c. A by the Dozen and and the
big fireplace was the most popular
point OF all. In this building any ev-
ening will now find from four to five
hundred of the dusky lads from the
south, tuning up in plantation mel

Iowa and Minnesota men will be

ing place, moving picture theater,
gymnasium, postoffice,-in fact, it
serves him in almost any capacity
for which there is any considera BILE
demand.
Take Camp Dodge for an example.
The work at Camp Dodge is exactly
similar to that which is being con-
Quoted at every American camp.
There are, or will be, when the en-
tire camp is working at maximum ca
pacity, eight units" each housing a
complete working Y. M. C. A. staff,
including general secretary, relig-
ious work director, physical director,
musical directo, educational director
and as many other assistants and de-
partment heads as are required.
Each unit has building, all mod
eled on the same general plan, includ-
ing big assembly room, an adjoin-
ing room with big fireplace at one
end about which the soldiers may
gather and a class room and reading
room at the other. Each unit also
contains a library, and at Camp
Dodge everyone has a women's COM
fort station and is open not only to
the masculine visitors at camp but
to the women as well.
Camp Dodge also has a big audi
forum, seating $500 men, and two
story building used as headquarters
and as dormitories for the head secre-
taries of the camp.
Fifty-five Men at Work.
Fifty-five secretaries are now at
work among the soldiers at Camp
Dodge alone, which gives an idea Of
the huge staff required to carry the
work. into all the military camps
Of the nations, at home and abroad.
II the soldier wishes to write home,
stationery will be provided him free
of charge at the Y. M. c. A., and he
can buy stamps and mail his letters
right at the desk. II he has a visitor,
the Y. M. c. A. Is the place where he
may receive him or her as the case
may be. And in a big majority OF
cases Il will be the oaly place avail
able.

DECIDE YOURSELF.
The Opportunity Is Here, Backed BY
DEBORAH Testimony.

Don't take our word for it.
Don't depend on a strangers state
ment.
Read DEBORAH endorsement.
Read the statements of DEBORAH
|citiZe1s.
And decide for yourself.
Here is one case of it.
Sever Olson, blacksmith, Maple
Ave, DEBORAH, says: Many years
Of hard work weakened my kidneys
and brought on attacks Of backache.
When l went to stoop to shoe a
horse, sharp pains caught me in the
small of my back aid almost dou-
bled me up. The kidney secretions
were highly colored. / didn't let kid
ney complaint get a good hold on
me, because l used Doan's Kidney
Pills, procured from Engbertson's
Pharmacy, right away and was fixed

that Mr.. Olson had. Foster-Milburn

stars have no more loyal followers
than the men in khaki
Wednesday evening will find prayer
meetings in progress at all of the
buildings. Camp chaplains lecture, or
some of the many ministers in camp
will lead. The meetings are infor-
NAL, and the men themselves gener-
ally run things from start to finish.
Do you believe that the soldiers are
an irreligious and dissolute group?
If so, few days in camp will con-
vince you that you have the wrong
bunch entirely.
Husky Lads In Bible Class.
Some of the biggest, huskiest,
toughest looking soldiers in camp are
among the Bible class leaders when
Sunday morning rolls around. Every
denomination has its followers, and
the Y. M. C. A. Is the headquarters
for them all.
The educational work Is one of the
big undertakings Of the Y. M. c. A.
Fifty per cent of the negro soldiers
from Alabama who report for duty
can neither read nor write well, If at
ALL They will be taught. In one
battery Of the Three Hundred Thir-
ty-eighth Field Artillery at Camp,
North Dakota regiment, there were
fifty men who could not understand
commands well, and twenty who
spoke no English whatever.
The national army Is a cosmopoli-
tan group, and the Y. M. c. A. secre-
taries are attempting to act as the
great fiux in the melting pot.
Posters offering instruction in Eng
lish are displayed at one Y. M. C. A.
building written in English, Bohem-
ian, Swedish, Finnish, Greek and
Russian, and the Y. M. C. A. is find
ing instructors for men of all these
tongues.
Many Volunteer Teachers.
The Y. M. c. A. has no difficulty
in obtaining teachers, for the nation
al army is full of college men, both
officers and enlisted men. Am of
these are more than ready TO offer
their assistance.
