The Hostess House is something
new in the war work of the women
of the country. Every bit of the
experience and efficiency which has
been wrought into the Y. w. c. A.
in its fifty years of existence, is
taxed to the uttermost to meet the
new situation.
Your conscience must speak, Would
you not save the girl as we'll as
the boy
Worthy of all effort and unlimited
money of the girl be your girl.
Consider what year may may bring.
In some munition centers girls
are sleeping three in bed, and
the bed is never idle.
As you have seen the vision, re-
spond with material help.

"TAG-YOUR-SHOVEL-DAY."

And now it is. "Tag-Y our-Shovei-
Day." This has been decided upon
by the Fuel Administrator at Wash
ington. About every thing else in
the country is doing it's bit in help
ing the conservation of food and
fuel, and now the humble shovel
that feeds your furnaces and stoves
Is going to be an instrument in the
game.
Mr.. James H. Thompson, of Paris,
Chairman of the Federal Fuel Com.
mittee for Bourbon County, is in re-
ceipt of a letter from the United
States Fuel Administration at Wash
ington, in which the most important
part of the plan is set forth as fol-
lows:
Tn order to impress upon the
public the necessity for frugality in
the use of coal, the Conservation Di-
vision of the Fuel Administration
has named January 80. 1918, as
Tag Your-Shovel-Day. Tags repre-
senting shovel, and bearing sug-
gestions for saving coal, are to be
tied by the school children to prac-
tically every coal shovel in the
country on this date. Like the pro-
verbal string around the finger to
remember by, these tags will act as
a constant reminder to the house
holder to use his coal frugally.
1.-THE Superintendent of Schools
| of your State has arranged for the
distribution of these tags through
the children in each school. We are
planning to have the shovels of the
President, the Governors, the May
ors and other men much in the pub
lie eye, tagged on that date, and we
will give the widest publicity to
the work in your section in the col
umns, of the local press"

T.b. Fits
Says With Proper Attention
There is no Danger of Spread
of Disease.
GOOD CARE NECESSARY
No Cases in His Care Have De
veloped Pneumonia.

That the prevailing disease
thought to be influenza is in
mild form and will cause no i'm
mediate danger is borne out by
the following letter to The
Oasis by Deputy Health Officer
T. B. Fits.
The letter follows:
Nogales, Arizona,
Dec. IL, 1918
Editor of The Oasis: {
In the past few weeks I have
attended hundreds of cases of
la grippe, otherwise caned in
fluenza, but none under my
care have developed pneumonia,
and none have died. The cpl
demic prevailing here is of a
mild type, and with proper at
tention, there is no, great dan
ger.
At the Three RS, the Mon
tana Camp and other mines
where the poor are ill-nourish-
ed, clothed and housed and
without medical attention, re-
suits of course are serious. AS
Deputy Health Officer, l made
one trip to each of the above
camps, being called practically
to give death certificates,
where pneumonia had followed
the influenza. Two cases were
brought in from Duquesne to
Nogales, and as deputy health
officer, / went to see them, but
they were beyond aid. I visited
thirty-four cases today, only
two of them being new cases.
Good food, clothing and
housing, with competent medi-
cal care, will in nearly every
case prevent pneumonia and it's
attendant dangers.

FAMOUS GERMAN

MANUFACTURE
Krupp Munition Works win
Transform Plant into Liberal

CONTINUED MANUFAC-
TURE OF GUNS SAID
TO STIR PEOPLE
Present Government Unofficial
ly Quoted as Ordering
Plant Closed.

AMSTERDAM, Dec. IL
According to the Cologne Ga
zette and other authentic
sources, the present Govern
ment of Germany has ordered
the Krupp people to abandon
the manufacture of arms and
amunitions. 1t is thought that
the continued making of these
war arms incites more bitter
feeling against the people who
are thought to be in sympathy
with the ex-Kaiser. The DEM
onstration by the "so-called-
revolutionists" some days ago
was brought about, it is alleg-
ed, by the apparent continual
ton of the manufacturing of
was materials.
AS a result the directors of
the Krupp plant have announc-
ed their intention to abandon
the manufacturing of arms at
once and transform the factory
into one for the German popu-
lation may devote their time to
liberal arts and sciences.
"The present situation In
Germany" as quoted by cabinet
officers of the German govern
ment had been such as to war
rant their postponing a con-
ference meeting which was to be
held in Berlin on December 16.
A wireless message was sent to
the Russian government asking
that a delegation oof BoIshevi-
kists who were to be included in
the meeting stay at home until
civic peace had been restored.
The cabinet officers are tax
ing every step towards the sup
preston of anything liable to
arouse the wrath of the so call
ed socialists. The closing of the
munition plants is an initial step
in this direction.

piration of his term and re-entered
the railroad service. : When the war
broke he left his work and again
donned the uniform Of the govern
ment, being assigned to recruiting
service, owing to his being man of
family. His work earned for him a
corporal's cheverons and soon after
he was raised to a sergeantcy. His
desire to join the line brought for
him the recommendation of Major
Yost, Foucault being strongly recon-
mended by the most prominent citi-
zens of Bemidji. --
Foucault has been on the job as
a recruiting officer for the past eight
months. In that period there have
been recruited at his office 364 men
for the various branches of the gov
ernment military, remarkable rec
ord for city the size of Bemidji,
and already another contingent of
about 20 has been started to leave
Bemidji next week.
Succeeding Sergeant Foucault will
be Corporal Robert Bass, one of the
Minneapolis station. = He and Cor
poral C. E. Prichett, also out of the
Minneapolis station, are now here,
but the latter is expecting orders to
leave any minute. 4 Corporal Bass
is a fine young man and comes high
ly recommended for the work, and it
is hoped he will receive continu-
ance of the same helpful spirit as
did his predecessor.

Sergeant Clarence F. Foucault, U.
S. A., recruiting officer, Bemidji
station, today received an order to
report at once to Camp Grant, Rock
ford, ILL.,, to enter the third officers
training camp. He will leave in the
morning to report. . -:
Z The order received is in recogni-
tion of Sergeant Foucault's splendid
work for the state of Minnesota and
the government and it means much
in advancement in rank upon gradu-
alton from the governments school.
To the patriotic citizens of Bemidji.
Sergeant Foucault owes much of his
success. He has worked hard and
long in an endeavor to make the
showing he has and in this he was
lent. every possible assistance. The
fact that he has been able to achieve
was he has led Major Yost, head of
the Minnesota recruiting, to state
che is a remarkable fellow. There
isn't another like him. He's the
best one individually we have and I
hate to lose him."
That was made a few days ago
when Major Yost informed the Pio-
neer confidentially that he intended
to recommend Foucault for the COM
ing officers training camp.
Sergeant Foucault has served his
term of enlistment as a member of
