MOST DEADLY FORM
PNEUMONIA CASES AT CAMP
DODGE CAUSE HOSPITAL
CORPS TO EXERCISE
GREATEST CARE.

Camp Dodge, Ia, April ia
new species of pneumonia germ of
the most malignant type Is being
combatted by doctors and nurses at
this cantonment, according to medi-
cal officers.
The our which has gained a
foothold at the cantonment Is believ-
ed to be similar to that which oblit-
Grated six out OF 10 members of the
Casey family at Valley Junction in
10 days time. Four surviving mem
bers of the family. who have been
attacked by the plague are now
fighting for their lives.
So deadly is the newly discovered
pneumonia germ that nurses and
doctors attending patients at Camp
Dodge wear masks and gowns.
Sheets are hung between beds.
When a patient reaches the stage
where he is able to walk again he is
also given a mask.
Maj. F. C. Todd, commanding the
base hospital at Camp Dodge, says:
I'm the pneumonia ward where
our worst cases are confined, it Is
almost impossible to pass down the
length of the room without being
moved to tears when n sees the
tender care which Is given these ter
ribly sick boys-some of whom, per-
haps, may never o All our
nurses have the smile habit. and 1t Is
the most contagious thing in the hos
pital. It's value is inestimable."
Maj. Todd says 1t would be impos-
sible to establish a system Of care
taking and supervision In a civilian
hospital equal to that maintained in
the United States.
In every ward, beside corps OF
nurses, there is a ward surgeon and
his assistants who are constantly in
touch with the most minute develop
ments OF each case. Over every
three wards there is another super
vising surgeon. who is so assigned
because of sheer professional ability.
In addition surgeons are appointed
TO manage groups of wards. BY this
system oversights and mistakes are
practically impossible.

income TAX returns
INTERNAL REVENUE DEPART
MENT WILL GO AFTER
EvADERS.

Aberdeen, April 16.-James Cof-
fey, collector of internal revenue for
the district Of North and South Da-
kota, calls upon all taxpayers to re-
port any person who they think may
be attempting to avoid making an
income tax return IL he is liable to
the tax.
1T is unjust to the man who
makes an honest and fair return to
have his neighbor escape without
making a return. IL he Is liable un-
der the law" said Mr.. Coffey today.
I'VE have already received many let
tiers from citizens all over the two
states calling u attention to cases
where Ii was thought that persons
had failed to make a return. These
cases will be probed as soon as we
are able to arrange for an investiga-
lion."
Recent word from Internal Rev
enue Commissioner Roper to the eff
feet that all delinquents would be
promptly and vigorously prosecuted,
have neglected to make a return to
do so at once. Any person who has
failed to make a return and Is liable
to the law will save a lot Of trouble
by making his return Immediately
and may thus avoid the unusual pen
alties and the danger of prosecution.

Wirthmor 81 Waists
LOOKMORE!

Wirthmor waists do not look like the kind
of dollar waists you have been accustomed
to. No other dollar waist in America can
touch them for style and quality.
If Henry Ford produced only 1000 cars a
year you could not buy one for a few hun
dred dollars The same big plan which
makes the Ford possible is employed in the
manufacture of these famous dollar waists.
Four standardized styles every week. AL

so wide has the demand for them spread
that we have had to request a larger allot-
ment. Come early for one of these new

FARMERS RALLYING TO
WIN THE WAR QUICKLY
The Man Behind the Pillow as Neces-
sary as the Man Behind
the Gun.

Since the dark ages the farmer-the
most peace-loving citizen-has been
the man who suffered most from war.
His crops, his everything, are usually
consumed by the invading armies.
But the farmer is a warrior when he
once realizes that wan is the only thing
that will keep him free. Since the war
was declared against the Central Pow
ers he has not had the same chance to
quickly grasp what it is all about.
But now he is coming to a full
knowledge of the barbarous enemy
with which we are at war.
Reports from the rural districts
throughout the Eighth Federal Re
serve District indicate that the farm
ers are ready to assist in a heavy sub
scription to the Third Liberty Loan,
which will be launched April 6.
We are now in the crucial year OF
the war. Our boys are at the front.
hundreds Of thousands of them in the
trenches and a million more ready to
go. The Treasury Department has the
whole burden of the war on Its
shoulders.
Every nickel and dime that can be
raked up and scraped together will
help Uncle Sam whip the Hun. Don't
think the money left in the sock OF
other hiding places will help. 1t must
be put into Liberty Bonds.

TEACHERS MUST serve
WAR SAVINGS SOCIETIES AMONG
PUPILS A DUTY.
Delay in Organizing Children To Help
Bear Burdens of War Helps No
body But the Enemy.

Every school teacher in the land
is commissioned to organize War
Savings Society among pupils.
1t is an honor, distinction and priv
ilege, all combined in one, and few,
indeed, will fail to seize this oppor-
tunity to give expression to their pa
triotism and love of country.
Thousands of school War Savings
Societies have already been formed.
lied, and the spirit of America" trans
lated into effective service by school
children to help win the war.
The time is past when any public
body, old or young, can longer ignore
the call. School children have right
to bear their own part in the great
world struggle and every schoolroom
must be made into a real fighting unit
for thrift, with every one saving
money with as much eagerness as they
spent it before.
The school children of America are
modifying. Hear the tramp, tramp,
tramp of twenty million school chill
dren-every one of them a pledged
War Saver in the service of his coun-
try. Eager faces, looking up in con-
fdence and faith to the country which
gave them birth, saving their nickels
and dimes and changing them,
through Thrift Stamps, into mighty
deeds of valor on the field of action
what a wonderful picture of true de-
mocracy!
If any school teacher has not yet
organized a schoolroom War Savings
/ Society-has not yet caught the spirit
''to have a part" in the great war,
now is the time to "right-about-face'
and lead the charge from the trenches
of Thrift. Delay in organizing these
War Savings Societies helps no one
but the enemy.
County chairmen should make sure
that every school teacher is alive to
the situation.
He should follow up, check up, until
he knows that not schoolroom in his
county-rural or city-is missing from
the ranks.

appeal to the recipients of the letters

write five letters to five friends, re.
questing each one of them to write
FIVE letters to their friends, asking
them to act in a similar manner
When you consider the great number
of persons that will be reached

BUYER Of LIBERTY

TRUE PATRIOTISM
STAY-AT-HOME AMERICANS Ex-
PECTED TO FURNISH MONEY
TO WIN WORLD WAR.
SUPPORT BOYS "oVER THERE"
Prompt lnvestm" i: In Third Liberty
Loan Bonds Insures Quick End
ing of World War With
American Victory.

The man who buys Liberty Bond
becomes a real Lighting soldier if he
purchases it in the spirit which the
government hopes he will.
Uncle Sam hopes that Liberty Bonds
will be bought at the expense of the
luxuries that no patriotic citizen has a
right to enjoy while American soldiers
are sacrificing their lives upon the pat
tlefields of Europe.
In addition to becoming a patriot,
the Liberty Bond buyer becomes a
wise investor, because no other invest
ment is absolutely safe.
Uncle Sam hopes you will enjoy
good health, and that you are patriotic
enough to want to help whip the Ger
mans, free the world and bring last
ing and q durable peace. Begin to dig
in and help to erect the home defenses
against Butcher Bill" Boost for your
own boy, who is or perhaps soon will
be in France, or your neighbours boy,
to whom you should show much graft
tude.
American citizens are slowly coming
to realize that the nation is at war and
that the struggle in Europe is not a
kindergarten affair-not a wrist-tap-
ping contest. Until every man, woman
and child in America awakes to this
grim fact he or she is working to the
advantage of the Hun.
America is in this war to win. Amer.
lea must win or the Kaiser will rule
the world and the Anglo-Saxon will be
rights will continue to be violated
Failure to buy Liberty Bond and help
support the men in the trenches means
victory for the Germans, prolongs
the war and sacrifices American lives
Every Man Must Do Bit.
Uncle Sam is in dire need Of aid and
it is up to every patriotic citizen to dc
his bit. When men are giving theiI
lives for those who stay at home and
enjoy peace and the comforts of home
it is a small thing to invest money in
Liberty Bond. The sooner Ameri
cans realize that defeat for the Allies
means slavery for not only the nations
of Europe but the United States the
quicker they will throw their whole
resources into this struggle for liberty
and justice.
The war has not yet been brought
home to this great land of the free an(
the home of the brave. 1t soon will be
though, because the gallant men il
khaki are gathering upon the blood
stained fields of France for the great
est conflict ever waged by free people!
against ruthless, inhuman foe.
American soldiers are being killed

boy are giving their lives for you. d.
you appreciate it? Buy Liberty BonC
and show your gratitude. You are /;

not-but you will!
