This is no time for the demobiliza-
ton of charity" Mr.. Hagan says in
his letter to Chairman Lyon.
THE sun of prosperity has never
shone more brightly on any land than
it has upon America during the past
few years. Our national wealth has
mounted to stupendous figures, and
individual wealth has kept pace with
it. Let every man and woman living
under the starry banner of freedom
take a personal inventory of his or her
worldly possessions today, and the
overwhelming majority will find that
they are better off and not worse off
than they were this day last year.
Jews NobIy Respond.
1.-The Jews have responded nobly to
of country or of charity. whether it
has meant the giving freely of their
sons. their services or their wealth.
The record they have written is a
great one: to the present generation
it is a rightful source of qualification
to the future it will justly be the
cause for pride. And in the light of
that record know there will be no
failure now"

IOWA MACHINE
GUN MAN HIT
Leader Of Old Third Iowa Company
In Hospital "FeeIlng Fine"
He Cables to Rela-
tIves.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Aug. 10
First Lieutenant Daniel C. Newqufst,
acting commander of the machine
gun company of the old Third Iowa.
lies today in a Paris hospital with
both arms swathed in bandages that
cover shrapnel wounds.
This news is contained IN cable
gram received from Lieutenant New
quist by Miss Rhea johnson, 1S41
Eighth street.
The cablegram states that he was
wounded in both arms by shrapnel,
that he is in hospital at Paris and
that he is feeling fine"
There Is a note of regret In his
brief statement, Cant write" Men
whose arms have been sacrificed with
/ shrapnel can't you know.
Lieutenant Newquist, who was
widely known and popular in Des
Moines. was senior lieutenant Of the
company when the Rainbow division
left Camp Mills for France. He sue
ceeded to the command when Captain
Fleur died in German gas attack on
the Lorraine front. This organization
of Iowa fighters thus has lost two
commanding officers in the fighting in
France. Other dispatches have re-
vealed that Lieutenant Eklund Of the
same organization was gassed in the
recent fighting.
The machine gun company's casu-
atty list is a convincing testimonial
of the fact that its officers may be
found out in front sharing the dan
gers Of its men.
It was supposed that the One Hun
dred and Sixty-eighth infantry had
gone back for an earned rest when
Col. E. r. Bennett cabled for money
from the coffee fund few days ago.
This casualty may upset that theory,
or indicate that the regiment again
has gone into action.
It is likely, however, that Lieuten-
ant Newquist was wounded prior to
the regiments retirement from the
front line. It would take consider
able time TO accomplish his removal
from a field to a base hospital and
thence to the Paris hospital, and he
probably suffered his wounds more
than a week ago.

Busy, Caution Of Philadelphia
Doctor on Heat
Subject.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 15.-Direc-
tor Krusen, of health and charities.
has advised the people Of Philadel-
phia to care for themselves properly
during the hot weather. Heat stroke
and heat exhaustion are often fatal
conditions, he said, and they take
their toll chiefly among infants and
the aged.
Fatal cases among adults are
usually the result of carelessness on
the part of the individual to guard
himself from excessive and prolonged
exposure to the suns rays said Di-
rector Krusen.
Babies" he said, must be given
special attention during the heated
term. Mothers living in closely built
up quarters, In tenements and In
courts, should keep their infants In
rooms which are shaded and vent-
lated on the ground floor of the
house.
Whenever possible, babies should
be kept outdoors or in areaways I'M
exposed to the sunlight. The baby's
clothing should consist only of loose
cotton wrap, the army and legs being
bare. Battle the baby daily"
Director Krusen advises against
discussing the weather Keep occu-
pied and don't discuss the weather
constantly" he said. THE thirst
may be quenched by cold weak tea
or lemonade slightly sweetened.'

ICES publication of the following letter

'My Dear Mr.. Baker:
II have read with great interest
your account of the achievements OF
the state councils of defense and
your general summary Of the actiy.
tiles in which they are now engage ed.
1t is notable record, and shall be
glad to have you express to the state
councils my appreciation of the service
they have so usefully rendered. / am
particularly struck by the value Of ex.
tending our defense organization Into
the smallest communities and by the
truly democratic character Of the nat
ional system SO organized.
Il believe in the soundness oy your
contention that in the interest OF econ
omy and efficiency such machinery
as that provided by tho state council
system for the execution Of many
kinds Of war work should be utilized
as far as possible by federal depart
ments and administrations. May sug.
gest, therefore that you communicate
to the heads of all such departments
land administrations my wish that
when they are considering extensions
iof their organization into the states
or new work to be done in the states
they determine carefully whether
they canot utilize the state council
system thus rendering unnecessary
the creation Of new machinery, and
that they transmit all requests for act
ion by the state council through the
state councils section of the council
of national defense?
Cordially and sincerely yours,
