Calf Bites Woman.

Iowa City, Ia, March 1S.-Fight-
ing the possibility of hydrophobia,
Mrs. Lawrence Hagerty, wife of a
brick mason, of Keokuk, is here to
take the Pasteur treatment.
She was bitten by a pet calf. which
nipped her left thumb, as she was
feeding it five days ago. The animal
had been bitten twenty-five days be-
fore that accident, mad dog having
attacked it. The brain of the calf
was sent here and the Iowa experts
found the brain was fairly teeming
with rabies germs, many more than
one mad dog out of hundreds showed.
Mrs. Hagerty is responding nicely
to the treatment, and there is every
reason to believe that she will be
duly pronounced absolutely out OF
danger.

Services at Nj. r. Church Sunday
Morning Were Certainly Fine.

Last Sunday morning at the NJ. E.
church service flag was dedicated
to the boys of this church who are
in the army. The address given by
Rev. A. r. Grant, while not lacking
in tenderness and devotion to ideals
of national issues, also had its vein
of humor. During the address the SER
vice flag was placed on the altar. At
the close of the address it was hung
on the wall and the following pro-
gram given.
Reading, MY Boy Went Yesterday"
Reading of Names and location.

follows: "In the name of the Prince
of Peace, and in the name of Democ-
racy and liberty for all mankind, we
dedicate this service flag to our
boys"
The following girls took part in

Transferred From Fort Riley, Kansas,
Last Week to Fine Assignment
i'm Texas.
MEANS GOOD PROMOTION
FOR THE LIEUTENANT
Writes Capt. SweZey an Interesting
Letter About His Transfer.
Thinks War Will Last
Several Years.

Manhattan, Kan, March 8.
Capt. A. j. Swezey,
Decorah, Iowa.
My Dear Swezey:
Well guess l am on my way to
France. Got put on shoe fitting job
last Monday and after fitting about
5000 recruits got my orders to re-
port to C. o. Camp Travis, Texas, for
duty with 513 Engineers Service
Battalion. Don't know what it is, but
the Colonel told me "out of his love
and affection for me- he had recon-
mended me for the surgeon of this
particular "outfit" and he gave me a
smile that looked almost human
when he said it, so guess it must be
so. Said it was an extra fine assign
ment; but his ideas and mine may
differ. Anyhow its a safe bet I'll find
out before a great while. Major
Kerr said it was a good thing and
that it meant a Captaincy at once,
but as yet haven't seen them passing
anything this way on a silver platter.
Major Farrell said it meant / would
be the only medical officer for a
bunch Of about 500 men and he con
sidered it one of the best, if not the
best assignment one could have
fdrawn. But tell you Swezey,
have been in this game long enough
to learn that the army is made up OF
a lot of that bright sunshine" stuff
and may be its so and maybe it's not.
This game, l believe, will last for
several years yet and every man in
the Medical Corps, under forty years,
who can stand the rough knocks that
you know we have to stand will see
foreign service. The outlook is not
inviting and believe you should
consider yourself lucky that your
feet couldn't stand the strain. Our
friend Porter, am afraid, will have
to get out, as he developed an acute
delitation of the heart about two
weeks ago and l do not believe at his
age, will ever come back. The old
boy looked as blue as a buzzard this
morning when l bid him goodbye,
both literally and figuratively. It's
too bad, but this is a young mans
game and it's great pity that more
young doctors between the ages of
25 and 80 haven't volunteered their
services to their country at this time.
When you consider that the average
age of Co. IL was between 81 and 33
and some of older companies 40 and
above, one is almost compelled to
think Of these younger mem as
''slackers". At least it is a shame
on the medical profession.
Will bring this to termination as
it is getting close to my train time
and will finish this serial some
time in the future after l am settled
permanently at San Antonio. 1 go
through Waco, Ft. Worth, Oklahoma
City, and Austin before reach there
and expect to arrive at 1880 D. m.
Monday.
Hoping this finds you we'll, with
kindest personal regards and best
wishes, beg to remain
Fraternally

No one ever got rich merely by
saving money. You must invest it.
A good way to invest is to buy War
Savings and Thrift Stamps.

There is Strength in Numbers.

One bullet can harm only one OF
the enemy.
But a million bullets can harm
thousands of them, and thereby de-
eide important battles.
That is the answer to the one who
asks: What good will my invest
ing $4.14 in a War Saving Stamp
do?"
One person could buy the whole
limit of the War Savings Stamps is
sue but his contribution would ef-
feet nothing.
But 1GO,OOO,0OO investing will
hasten the wars conclusion.

But This Coming Christmas
viii Beat Them All!

Where old paths seemed too full of ruts or of
nagging pebbles, we struck out new paths, as is
our habit fifty years strong and for the thousands
who look to Wanamakers for service at Christ
mas time and all other times, we found the
markets and the goods
More goods than before, because the
number of Wanamaker customers and friends is
greater than ever before. And they are the best
goods each article of its kind, that any store can
find to sell.
And they have arrived and are on display, and
even for the visitor who wishes only to look about
and see the new things and enjoy the festival at
mosphere and hear the Great Organ pealing the
strains of victory, they are colorfu pageant
that it would be unnecessary self-deprivation to
miss.
But the thoughts of most people, released
from the tension of the past weary months,
returning to a normal and indeed quickened in
terest in the old pleasure of holiday giving and
sharing.
But there's the same urgent advisability as be-
fore of an early purchase and an early despatch
ing of gifts not only those boxes of goodies sent
through the Red Cross Somewhere in France"
but even those going somewhere in Pennsylvania.
We are passing through a month of miracles but
the miracle of remaining postal and express or.
ganizationS with their old-time equipment cannot
be expected to take place in five weeks.
Yes, that's the right date, at the top of this
paper!

with its constant additions of fresh splendors,
representing the choice textile output of India,
Persia, China and Beuchistan, is strong for the
careful chooser of gifts and the special sale prices
don't diminish the attraction. (For example,

Then there are excellent domestic rugs and
other handsome and useful gear for the house,
filling floor after floor of this great building in an
abundance and variety that delight to the
eye and to the mind.
The Winter Furniture Sale continues to offer
unparalleled choice, at extraordinary reduc-

From babys knit mittens to mans sturdy
