FEEDING OUR OWN PRISONERS.

Food now is being sent regularly to
American prisoners in Germany by
the American Red Cross thru an ar
rangement with the International Red
Cross in Switzerland,
The American Red Cross office at
Paris recently received complete list
Of the 159 Americans then prisoners in
Germany. The German government
permits the Red Cross to send each
man twenty pounds Of food week, in
two packages of ten pounds each.
This Red Cross service il being en-
larsed and warehouse to hold food
enough for 10000 American prisoners
already is under construction near
Berne, Switzerland. 1t is estimated
that at least 90 per cent of the food
packages reach the men.
Parents, wives and relatives Of our
soldiers ana sailors will find In this
particular Red Cross service the
greatest satisfaction because they
nave dreaded German prison life for
their loved ones perhaps NOR, than
death itself.
The American prisoners viii be per-
mitted to write two letters and four
post cards each month and also to
acknowledge the receiptIof food pack

the MOB sueaEs1ER.

Several instances may be recalled in
Iowa where school boys and youths
have taken the law into their hands.
One early instance recurs where school
children forced a flag on minister's
house: another where German books
were burned in the street by school
children and yet another and later
where q high school youth took 1t upon
himself to gather German books OF
study and burn them. In all these
cases there is no doubt that elder per-
sons were behind the youths with sus-
gestton and encouragement.
Just where this may lead Is Illus
trated by the case at Collinsville where
. man was hanged by . mob oe lads
yet within their teens and most OF
whom should have been in school In
stead Of working in mines or idling;
It appears to have been a terrible mis-
take on the part OF the boys. To hang
. man for alleged disloyalty and then
bury him in the flag Of his country
after the mistake has been made clear
Is typical OF what mob Of uniformed
youths and ignorant men is likely to
do when stirred by older suggestion
and urged on as the Collinsville mob
was by the doubled intoxication OF
liquor and mob spirit.
. There is always an element that
stays behind and while eager in sly
suggestion Invariably manages to keep
its own skirts clear, Those are the
suggesters Of violence and the ones
who refuse to serve in the open.

THAT BOARD OF HEALTH somBswELl,

The Iowa board Of health has taken
a most serious step in the stringent
rules Which it has laid down govern
ing venereal diseases. The rules prac-
tically constitute a quarantine of the
person SO afflicted and create an off,
cial record not only Of cases Of such
disease but oblige druggists and those
dealing in the sale Of drugs and prep
arations used in It's treatment to keep
records Of sales, names. sex and ad-
dresses OF persons mating purchases
OF such indictments. All physicians,
nurses, attendants. hospital superin-
tendents. policemen. police judges
must make reports to mayors or town
ship clerks. These officials are re-
Quired to order those so afflicted into
quarantine where the patient must re-
main until released by the physician
of the local board Of health. The rules
are revolutionary as compared with
present and past custom Of dealing
with those diseases. It is also made
the duty Of officers to investigate all
cases Of diseases Of the specific char
acter under discussion and these OFF,
GERS are given extraordinary powers
to examine all suspects.
The rules Of the state board of
health have the force Of statutes under
the Iowa law. These quasi statutes
were drawn by the attorney general
and appear to have the full co-opera-
ton and favor Of the governor, who
is quoted as declaring that their every
provision viii be enforced. No doubt
the rules were hastened by the condi-
tions at Des Motnes and the federal
Interference on account Of the canton
ment convenient to that city, but II 80,
the situation only FASTENED the desire
OF the health board to create such
health rules. They have been in con-
temptation for some time and a bill
to their common effect was introduced
In recent legislature.
How far they viii be enforced Of
course remains to be seen. The board
OF health. II it chooses TO do SO, may
make serious trouble with the pfysi-
clan who refuses TO CONFORM to it's rul-
ings. perhaps even to the revocation
OF certificates to practice in Iowa. The

she said:
"Oh, my! How proud we are of our

made Uncle Lucky very angry, for he
didn't like Mother Maggie. and neither
did anybody else, for that matter.
Why. everybody called her Old Mother
Mischief and when every one calls
it fits you.
What time did you get up this
morning." asked Billy Bunny, and he
wound his watch three times and a
half and looked UP from under his SOL
dier cap at the disagreeable old black
bird.
Never you mind, little rabbit" she
replied, and she gave her head a toss
and almost lost her little black bonnet.
And then she flew away until she
came to the Old Brier Patch, where

and Uncle Lucky, think they had
better leave their gold watches and
chains under their pillows and not go
around showing them to everybody"
and then she frightened her bonnet
strings and blinked her little black
eyes.
But Mrs. Bunny only said, La, la.
Ia" for she wasn't going to quarrel
with Old Mother Mischief; no man,
sireebus, she wasn't.

Oh, dear me. The Little People of
the Friendly Forest and the Pleasant
Meadow were having dreadful time
getting up each morning. You See,
Mr.. Happy Sun got up just as he al
ways did. He hadn't set his watch
an hour ahead. No 'Sirebus. He
wasn't going to turn the world upside
down and all the little stars, too, and
maybe Mrs. Moon.
He crept out Of his bed every morn
ing just as he had been doing since
the world began. And when he threw
off his many colored crazy quilt and
climbed over the purple hills and up
the big blue sky. everybody got up.
Now, when say everybody, l mean
everybody except Billy Bunny and
dear, kind Uncle Lucky. These two
little rabbits got up an hour before
Mr. Happy Sun did, for they had set
their watches an hour ahead Of time.
But didn't they feel queer! Well, just
guess they did. for everybody else was
still asleep, even old Mother Magpie
and Mrs. Daddy Fox.
"Everybody's in bed when we get up,
and almost everybody's asleep when
we get to bed" said Uncle Lucky.
You and seem to be all alone in the
world for an aour in the morning and
for another hour at night" and the
old gentlemen rabbit put his gold
watch and chain back in his waistcoat
pocket and winked at Billy Bunny.
And then the little rabbit turned a
somersault over backwards and said:
when the war Is over
Well turn our watches back;
But till that day we must obey.
Alas, alas, alack!"
And just then Old Mother Magpie
