IDLER DRIVE is
SOARING TRAMPS.
Campaign Against Loafers Pans
Out Well in Rock Island Dur
ing the Last Week.

States Attorney Floyd E. Thomp-
sons campaign against Migrants
thus far has proved a success
Fifty men have been put to work
with construction companies at
Rock Island arsenal during the last
week. Under the old regime they
would have remained idle about the
street corners and other loafing
places.
The men were arrested by the po-
lice following instructions given
by Mr.. Thompson. At the police
station they have been questioned. III
they showed Willingness to work.
they were taken to the arsenal and
given chance to spend the days
there working instead of doing
nothing. The majority were will
ing TO work but some refused.
Those that refused were arrested
on vagrancy charges and commit
ted to the county farm where they
will be forced to work during the
duration of their sentence. Others
were sentenced to work under
guard on the streets of the city.
Mr. Thompson said today in con-
nection with the drive, There are
practically no loafers left in Rock
Island. Large numbers have been
put to work under the new anti
idler plan. However. there is work
ahead. Many of the idlers formerly
with headquarters in this city, mi
grated to East Moline, when Rock
Island became anti-saloon territory.
On May 16 East Moline saloons
will be ousted This naturally Will
cause the return Of many OF these
men.
Take Warning.
Investigation on my part shows
that the situation in pool rooms
and cigar stores that were formerly
infested with non-workers is much
improved. The men have taken
ample warning and have either
started to work or have left the city.
l fully intend to continue the cam
paign here until Rock Island is alb
solutely clear of any man who does
nothing to help while the United
States is at war"
The Rock Island police have
shown their willingness to coop
crate in the drive: Not one man
who is apparently without work,
has been allowed to remain on the
streets. He is arrested and forced
to give an explanation. Mr.. Thomp-
sons placards telling the men to
Get a Job" are doing the business.

DISTRICT 100 PER
CENT FOR RED CROSS

School District No. 67, in the
George Hale neighborhood, is doing
things in this war. They are prov
ing to be 100 per cent for the Red
Cross, having selected that branch of
war work as their speciality. Last
Friday night a pie supper was staged
for the benefit of the Red Cross, at
which time $50 was added to the
war fund of the community. Previ-
ously the district raised $50.
Green Hatfield acted as auctioneer
One of the special features was the
sale of a cake for the prettiest girl.
This cake brought $S5 and by the
contest Miss Ivy Jones was declared
to be the prettiest girl in the district.
The patrons in the district expect
to continue the good work for the
Red Cross and swell the fund al
ready started.

KEEP LOOKING YOUNG
It's Easy-If You Know DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret of keeping young is to feel
Young = to do this you must watch your
liver and bowels - there's no need OF
having a sallow complexion - dark rings
under your eyes - pimples - bilious
look in your face - dull eyes with no
sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety
per cent of all sickness comes from in-
active bowels and liver.
DIR. Edwards, well-known physician
in Ohio, perfected a. vegetable com.
pound mixed with olive oil to act on
the liver and bowels, which he gave to
his patients for years.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the substi.
tute for calomel, are gentle in their action
vet always effective. They bring about
that exuberance of spirit, chat natural
buoyancy which should be enjoyed by
everyone, by toning up the liver and clear
ing the system of impurities.

FOR BABIES HERE
Milk and Ice Fund viii Aid
, Suffering Poor,

"We have never needed any scare
heads or sob stories TO get our milk
and ice fund every summer" declares
Miss I. Noyella Gould, secretary OF
the United Provident association.
That is an annual affair and people
contribute from year to year And
one interesting thing about il is thai
most of the contributions come from
men"
Which all goes to show that the world
Is not 50 bad after all
Need OF Fund Is Great.
The children here at home are not
forgotten while we are helping the thil-
dren OF Belgium and France. And in
deed the need right here in Oklahoma
City is great enough to warrant a sac
rifiee on the part OF anyone who takes
the trouble to visit the day nursery Of
the Proyident association.
Here the visitor must think that he
has entered the abode Of the "Old
woman who lived in shoe" for il is
hard TO know Just how one woman does
manage to "do" with so MANY children.
Several rooms are full Of little beds
where the babies stay, and children
fill the playroom. and the hall In
fact children seem to be everywhere.
They all look well fed and happy, with
the exception OF one who is happy now.
II not we'll fed before To see his
thin little arms and legs one can hard
" believe that he could ever have been
In a worse condition However such
was the case until he was brought
starving TO the nursery.
Here the children are left during the
day while the mothers are at work,
and some live in the nursery. The lat
est arrival is only three weeks old,
and Is left there so that the mother
may work.
Another Nurse Needed.
The fund Is to be divided between
milk and ice and payment for the Serv-
Ices of The visiting nurses. Only one
nurse is employed at present. but an
other one is needed this summer, II a
registered nurse can be obtained No
other is acceptable. Mrs. Myrtle Conn,
who is visiting nurse for the associa-
tion. took a special course In public
health and social service work in the
Chicago School of Civics and Philan-
thropy, and has also made study OF
infant welfare, She instructs the moth
ers in the care of their babies.
The Oklahoman has managed the
campaign for the fund ever since that
paper inaugurated il four years. ago
Every year the amount needed increases,
and every year the amount needed has
been procured This year more than
$500 is needed, according to Miss
Gould, and 5000 will come nearer
the mark. Checks or money may be
