The establishment of an isolation
hospital for the segregation and treat
mcnt of influenza cases Is move III
the right direction. 1t will afford
people place for trained nursing ana
expert care who might be unable TO
obtain nurses in their homes owing
to the extraordinary demands upon
nurses at this time and it will protect
other members of a patients family
from exposure and Coutagion which
they would suffer if the disease had
to be treated in the average home.
Influenza is so communicable that II
can not be admitted to general hos
pitels. The city detention hospital is
now occupied by smallpox patients.
There is but one thing to do and that
is to provide a special hospital for
the new emergency. \ disease so
highly contagious should not De
treated in the homes unless the pa
tient can be strictly segregated from
other members of the family.
The union war work drive is tagging
in the city not because people are I'M
willing to give 10 their card allot-
mcnts for they have been universally
prompt in their response. The trouble
has been with the morale OF the war
service league workers. Now that the
war is over too many have neglected
their war service duties and their dis
tricts have not been canvassed. Com
panv attention Forward, march.
You have not yet received your honor
able discharge. The boys in France
are to be mustered out first before
war work at home can cease.
The war stamp drive will be Ct next
week. Picked committees from the
council Of defense are at work now
making allotments necessary in order
to sell these stamps up to the quotas
given to each precinct. People IN
Marshalltown must expect their allot-
ments for the full year to equal an
average allotment in a liberty bond
drive as the total amount OF war
stamps to be sold in this city is al
most as large as the amount of liberty

issue. This city,s stamp quota -
Ss2i.S0o. II sold approximately $780,
900 of bonds In the third issue ana
S426, 900 OF bonds in the last issue.
People, however, will be allowed
credit upon their family's allotment
for all stamps owned In the family ana
will need to buy only the rest. These
they can buy at $S4.4o upon the 800
OF allotment as all precinct quotas ana
allotments are figured at the face val
ne of the stamps.
Some people are so simple as to
wonder why the government should
need to sell any more war stamps or
bonds when they have not yet heard
Of any of the four millions OF men

France where their food must be

100000 or more every day and VIII go
on until the munition factories are all
closed down, their contracts paid for
and the boys all brought home ana

However, there will come a time IN
another year when there will be no
more money drives. Then the gov
eminent will do it's borrowing at the
banks and people will he permitted TO
sell their bonds and cash their stamps
without being unpatriotic. This war
stamp loan need not be more than
one years loan in all probability II
the purchaser does not care to keep
his stamps. II his money costs him
SIS per 800 for years interest and
ne can get nearly per cent on his
stamps the net cost is only $500 to
carry 500 of war Stamps for one
year. Who cares about that now that
the war has been won.

NO INCREASED SUGAR RATION.
Food Administrators Advised No
Change to Be Made at Once.

Change to Be Made at Once.
So many inquiries have been made
at the office Of the food administra-
ton regarding the increase OF the
sugar ration, following the publication
in some OF the daily papers that an in
crease of the ration was to be made
that the administrators telegraphed
State Food Administrator Deems for
information. The reply received said:
NO announcement of new sugar pro-
gram will be made for several days
The item published recently was in
effect that the sugar ration in cane
and beet sugar producing states would
be increased to four pounds per pes
son per month beginning Dec. l. There
is some question whether or not this
would include Iowa, but even If 1t does
no change is TO be announced yet, ac-
COrding to Mr.. Deems.

Dandruffy Heads
Become Hairless

If yol want plenty of thick, beauti-
fui glossy. silky hair, do by all means
get rid of dandruff, for it will starve
your hair and ruin it if you don't.
1t doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve it. then you destroy it entirely.
To do this, get about four ounces of
ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at
night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
BY morning, most if not all. of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will complete
" dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it.
You will find. too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will step, and
your hair will look and feel a hun
dred times better. You can get LIQUID
arvon at any drug store. 1t is mex
pensive and four ounces is all YOU
wifi need, no matter how much DIN
druff you have. This simple remedy
never fails.-Advertisem

WILL DO THEIR BEST
Witty Man and Boys Will Gladly Help
With Farm Work.

Manhattan, Kan, May 13-That
men and boys of the towns and cities
of Kansas will offer their services en-
Enthusiastically for wheat harvest work
is the opinion of A. J. Johnson of
wichita, president of the state fedora
ton of labor. Not more than one
third of the number of men from 9TH
err states usually available for harvest
can be depended upon this year, john
son believes.
"As it will be necessary for the
laboring men in the towns and cities
to go out into the harvest fields to
save the wheat this year, you may
rest assured that the boys will do
this gladly" was the statement made
by johnson to a representative OF E.
70. FrizeI, state director of farm labor.
"The workers in the towns and cit
les are ready to buy liberty bonds
contribute to the Red Cross, go into
the fighting ranks, and if it becomes
necessary to drop their tools and go
into the harvest fields and save the
wheat. While we do not know to
what extent this will be necessary, the
bows will do their part to handle the
wheat"
johnson is urging the laboring men
to send delegations to meet with the
representatives of the farmers at the
eight large harvest labor conferences
which will be held under the direc-
ton of Mr.. Frizell in different sections
of the state. The question of harvest
wages and transportation will come
up for consideration. Mr.. johnson
will be on the program of the confer
ence at Wichita, May Is.

WHEAT is SEIZED
Government Begins To Take

Many States Checking Up on
Farmers Supplies.

State food administrators, given
broad powers by Hoover, are requi-

government is paying the regular
market price with the expense of

allies from starving.
Less than 100000 bushels of
wheat were on the farms May l, Of

best French dreSsmaking houses sent
to this country for twelve sketches OF
the various hustle effects worn by
American women, and then incorpor-
ated the idea, after her own fashion
ing, into her new spring gowns. The
Vatican effect was one of the limo
vations, and America takes the credit
for it's inspiration.
We are not quite ready to look like
singers in a Mozart opera, and yet
the fichu, the square neck, the pleaI
at the back and the full tunic over
narrow skirt are. each and all, feA
lures of the fashions of that day.
Be Careful of the Loop.
The trouble with the Vatican pleat
is that women are not sufficiently
careful to place it's loop in the right
spot The slim, attenuated woman
may drape this pleat as she likes, but
she who has any of the natural curves
accredited to woman of Nature, must
take care of the silhouette. That is
where she needs to stand between two
mirrors and survey herself well, even
tho she may be in the hands of a
good dressmaker.
The sketch shows the Vatican pleat
as it is attached to a new spring frock
of yellow and gold tissue. one of those
new materials that have been accept
ed for warm weather wear, no one
knows why. One side of the skirt is
of the tissue, and the other side is of
embroidered chiffon over pale rose
silk. The bodice is of chiffon, with an
embroidered chemisette and a rose at
the waistline. The sleeves are short
and unadorned. The yellow girdle ties
in front, because it would interfere
with the exact drapery of the Wat
teau pleat if it tied elsewhere.
There is no doubt that the fashion
for looping material at the back be-
low the hips, has given clever women
a new idea for arranging old gowns
All of our skirts of last fall and
spring are too wide for this season,
and what is taken out of them, at the
back or sides, can easily be arranged
into this looped-in panel at the back
