CAMPAIGN AGAINST FEAR

a course IN common sense and
the basic idea of Christian Science,
says the Onida Watchman Of last
week, and an editorial policy for
newspapers directed against fear,
was urged at meeting in Des
Molnes recently of a committee of
business and professional men
which have virtually been in
charge of the city during the So
calld spanish flu epidemic. DIR.
w. G, Witte, city sanitarian, is
chairman of the committee, The
membership including JAS r. Han
ma, former mayor, Z. c. .ThornLurg,
supt of schools, G. l.. Herring, of
the Greater Des Moines committee,
and others equally prominent.
The fact that soldiers and oflic-
ers at Camp Dodge who are Chris
tian Scientists have not been affec-
ted by the epidemic was calld to
the committees attention at the
meeting by Mr.. Miller.
''There is 20 question said DR..
Witte ''that by right attitude of
mind these people have kept them
selve from illness. | have no doubt
that many persons have contracted
the disease thru fear.
"People can deceive themselves
into thinking they have any disease
on the calendar and doubtless
many of them have thought them
selves into the grave.
"Fear is the first thing to over
come, the first step in conquering
this epidemic" said DR.. Witte. 81
am not a Christian Scientist, but
believe an application of their
principles will materially aid in
preserving the health of this com
munity. They did not originate
with the Scientists, but are to be
found by anyone who will take the
trouble to read the Bible.

MAKING DOLLARS INTO
MUNITIONS
By T. }. MuIvey.

That's your individual role in thi,
war-to make your dollar into wal
munitions. Every Liberty Bond yCu
buy means more munitions, and more
munitions mean more effectiveness for
our men.
And those munitions they are
needed! Hundreds Of thousands, yes.
millions of shell shot into the en-
trenchments and against the massed
hordes Of the Hun in even brief Of
fensivel How can we turn them ont
fast enough unless we make our dol
lars do the work
Pile up the dollars, thenl Lend
them by the hundreds, by the thou
sands, for Liberty Bonds! The fast
er, the more generously we turn our
dollars into munitions, the sooner we
shall end the war, wipe out the blot
OF Prussian despotism, and bring tri-
umphant our boys back home!

Huns, vipers of the sea. have SEN

Lusitanias to unoffending little fishing
smacks
But America and American Labor
have sprung to the breach-we are
building ships almost by the dayl
We need them We need Them TO
transport the men, the bullets. the
food, the clothes-they form the
bridge across the sea-and three thou
sand miles Of it to cover!
We have thrilled the world with
our beginning and stricken the sneer
from the lips of the beast at Berlin.
You must keep it up Bonds will buy
the steel. the wood. the concrete.
Bonds will drive the rivets. and set
our Flag at the masthead Of the
greatest merchant fleet that ever rode
the seas.
Well, then, don't put It off till to-
morrow, buy bonds today with every
cent you can get together. Then
pledge to buy more bonds on the in
plan with all you can save

PSYCHOLOGY OF WAR
ON WOMEN'S CLOTHES
The Girl In Uniform.

Every war has had its influence upon
women's clothes. Sometimes It has
been color that has sprung into fash
ion with the bugle call to arms, some
times it is a feather as the cOque
feather; sometimes it is braid and a
military swing to the lines Of suit
or dress.
Before the United States entered the
war Russian COssack suits. couue
feathers, braided jackets, snappy suits
with a military dash to them that al
most sang Listen to the band" were
the vogue. War muffs. fabulous in
price, but economical in fur, French
blue, brass buttons and any number Of
adoptiOns from male military attire
were seized upon by Paris designers
and shipped to America as the style.
But since the United States entered
the war American women have Joined
the workers Of the world. The infiu-
ence Of war on their clothes was first
noticed when feathers began to disap-
pear and the Russian COssack suit and
high French tOque gave place to the
plain American tailored suit with SEN
sible pockets and the useful sailor hat |
