WAR WORK CAMPAIGN
 OPENS NOVEMBER fl
Drive to Raise Fund for Y. M. L. A. and Other War Activities Will Open in Short
 Time.

While sickness has delayed the completion of the county organization the big drive for our quota for the United War Work Fund will begin Mo- vember 11th and continue for three days It is understood that our quotal is $10,O0O.
 This campaign will be for the pur- pose of getting funds for the support of the seven great welfare organiza+ tions doing work for our boys lover there'' and in training camps here These organizations are united in this campaign at the request of President Wilson.
 $170,50O,0GO is asked from the na- tion, Arkansas p-rt being $S69,55O, of which $1O,OOO is appraised to Little River county
 The funds raised by this campaign will be divided among the organiza- tions in the following ratio:
 Y. M c. A. 5865 per cent.
 Y. w. c. A. 8.S0 per cent.
 Knights of Columbus 17.60 per cent
 Jewish Welfare Board 2.05 per cent.
 War Camp Community Service 8.S0 per cent.
 American Library Association 2.O5 per cent
 Salvation Army 2.05 per cent.
 These organizations have been unit ed in this campaign at the request Of tions are working to q common pur- pose, and our soldiers are fighting un- der one flGg and one uniform. It is essential that the closest cooperation be had for the sake of efficiency A quotation from the Presidents appeal reaGs as follows:
 Tt WaS evident from the first and has become increasingly evident, that the services rendered by these 1gen- cies to our army and to our allies are especially one and all of a kind and must be of necessity, if we'll rem dGred. be rendered in the closest CO., operation. It is my judgment, there fore, that We shall secure the best results in the matter of the support of these agencies if these seven societies will unite their forthcoming appeals for funds in order that the spirit Of the country in this matter may be eX- pressed without distinction or race or religious opinion in support of what is in reality a common service
 This point of view is sustained by the necessity which the war has fore ed uron us, Of limiting our appeals for funds in such way th,t two or three comprehensive campaigns shall take the place of .a series of inlepend- eat calls upon the generosity of the country

Washington, Oct 24- Germ2nys plea for an armistice and peace now is before the Allied governments, which are to determine whether they are disposed to accept President Wilson's principles of settlement to which Ger many subscribes and, in accord with the United States, ask their militr2E advisers and those of America to pre- pare the terms of an armistice which virtually will mean the surrender of Germany.
 In various public utterances the premiers and other leaders of the Entente powers have repeatedly de- clared that President Wilson's state ments in his address of last January s and subsequent addresses reflect their own views.
 Something more official and binding is required now, although it is re- garded here as a foregone conclusion that this approval will be registered anu IlIdC Iuc OillCcS O1 IHc ouplcI war council will be invoked to pre- pare the Hateful document which will define the conditions under which Germany may secure relief from the incessant hammering of the victorious Allied and American armies.
 Similar to Bulgaria.
 No one here today would undertake to forecast the probable time of final decision on Germany's plea. It is known, however, that the supreme war council already has given the matter the most earnest consideration. And in that connection it was recalled that there was no delay in notifying Gener- al D'Espernay, the Allied commander on The Balkan front, of the terms that should be laid down for Bulgaria when that nation asked for an armistice. The general priciples in each case pro- bably are similar, but there necessari- ly will be great variance in the de- tails, since not only is al greater army and nation to be dealt with, but a larger naval force as we'll.

= OUR FUTURE HEALTH.

The war has taught us a lesson
Thru the thousa Rds of physical exam
nations made at the cantonments and
at recruiting stations we have discov-
ered our weaknesses of the past. The
future depends upon the care we take
OF the children of the present. The
schools, the public health associations,
the state and national campaigns have
given every mother the opportunity of
raising her child as nature would die
tate. -
In these war times, with an acute
shortage of physicians due to the de-
mands from the front, it is essential
that the children be kept in the best
of health and spirits. 1t is easy for
the children to acquire daily habits
that will ward off disease and wasted
days from school.
Here are a few rules that can be
followed easily and with great bene-
fit:
Begin the day by drinking a glass
of water and drinking at least six
glasses during the day.
Do not go to school without break
fast
Eat regularly three times a day.
Eat slowly and chew all food we'll.
| Drink milk every day-four glasses
are not too much.
+, Eat some breakfast cereal every
day.
Fat some vegetable besides potatoes
Pevery day.
Eat bread and butter at every meal;
dark breads are best.
Eat some fruit every day. Spend
the pennies for apples instead OF
cnndy.
Dc not eat candy between meals; eat
candy and other sweets only at the
end o. regular meal.
Do not drink tea or-coffee; it does
the body no good, but does do it harm
Do not eat or touch food without
first washing the hands.
Dc not eat fruit without first wash
ing it.
Do not eat with a spoon or forl
which has been used by any other per.
so. without first washing it.
Observe the same rule with refer
enee to a glass or cup.
Do not eat from the same dish witt
iany other person.

DEAN KAYE,s STORIES.

1t is with great pleasure that the
State Journal announces for next Sat
urday evening the beginning of a
series of stories by James Philip de
Bevers Kaye. dean of Grace cathedral,
Topeka. : His new feature will run
under the title, Myths and Legends of
the Flowers"
Dean Kaye delighted the Juvenile
readers of the State Journal last win
ter thru his wonderfully human con-
tributions, Flower and Fairy Fan
cies.' These stories attracted interest
all over the country and hundreds of
scrap books were arranged by parents
for their children. The stories proved
immensely popular and have demand
ed another season of bedtime reading
by this we'll known Episcopal clergy
man.
Myths and Legends of the Flowers"
will appear in the State Journal every
Saturday evening. They are a result
of four years study of natures favor
ties by Dean Kaye and a careful and
studious compilation during his sum-
raer spent on the northern lakes. The
from every part of the globe. The
stories are simply facts told in the
Angle-saxon language the child un-
derstands. They are told by a man
who has proved his interest and his
knowledge of flowers by his marvellous
gardens on the Grace cathedral and
Bethany college grounds. ~ 2=s
The State Journal suggests that pa
rents keep these legends and myths in
scrap book form for the children.
They are gems of thought and imagi-
nation and nature study. They are a
fitting nightcap to the chiId's busy
little days of school and play.
The stories begin Saturday evening
and will appear weekly for several
months to come.
