BE a PARTNER OF UNCLE SAM
AND HELP WIN THIS WAR


You might work a long time for
man before he would take you as
partner
Suppose your boss would offer to-
day to take you into his business.
You would jump at the chance.
Well, here is chance to get a
partnership in the biggest business
in the world.
When you buy Liberty bonds you
became a member of the great firm
of Uncle Sam & Co.
If you are a citizen, you become
an ACTIVE partner in the greatest
country on earth.
If you are not citizen, learn the
language of America, prepare your
self for an understanding of Ameri-
can citizenship and acquire it.-Louis
Varnum Woulfe.

Peace is not here and even if it

"Iodina'' Is Large
But a Fine Nurse

(By Frank j. Taylor, United Press
Staff Correspondent
With the American Armies in
France, Oct. A. by mail) )-They
called her "Iodina7 and she was the
surgical dressink queen. She was
tall and extremely stout and with
her horn-rimmed glasses she was
r.ore professional than beautiful to
look upon. "Iodina' was her name
in that hospital because of her phi
lcsophy, which put in a single word
was iodine"
Iodine was applicable to any wound
that came her way, believed this Ing
American nurse. 1t was interesting
to watch her at her work. A man
as big as She would be big and clum-
sy, his fingers would get in the way
Of bandages, and he would hurt you
every time he touched you.
But not SO with "Iodina" She
was as deft and gentle as the dain-
tiest miss in the establishment, as
she removed bandages, blood-clotted,
and soiled, with couple of quick
clips of the scissors, and after Civ
ing the wound a treatment of iodine
if the doctor did not prescribe other
wise, wound up the wound with new
yards of fresh bandages and adhesive
tape
From surgical dressing nurses
point Of view which was all that
"Iodina" ever got from her little
nook of bottles and instruments and
bandages in the great army hospital,
the war was just one injured man
after another All day they'd come
some new ones never seen before,
mostly old ones who had been about
for several days
One after another she cleaned
their wounds and b@ind them up,
day in and day out. She is entitled
to two service stripes now, though
all this time she has never had a
closer glimpse of the front than the
endless stream Of men pouring
her ward for surgical dress
ings. She sees them come in, get
well, and go back, but never gets
away herself. Some have come back,
'ewounded, for her surgical dress
ngs.
"Iodinas" remarks are few. Usu-
lilly, they consist of, 1T looks fine

'ery fine looking about the wound
