MINDS, NOT BLOOD, ARE
 WRONG

Otto H, Kahn, New York banker ot German birth, is right when he says that German blood is not a taint.
 It neither mars a man in this coun. try nor in Germany
 German blood is not at fault It is the German mind-the German way of thinking. And that damns, no matter where it appears.
 This country has nothing against cit izens of German extraction because they are German. But it does condemn all citizens. whether of German blood or not, who think after the German manner
 Germans need no change in theil blood, but the world realizes that there is a lot of fixing to be done to theiI "domes of thought"

has just given to the Associated Press
detailed account of the methods en-
ployed in safeguarding the health Of

"An officer at Fort Sheridan recent

not a standard table and is used only
rarely. Although it had to be made
to order and cost considerably more
than the ordinary table, it was rushed
at once to the hospital"

for certain uncommon instruments

of the men, only the most sanitary

to everything, from the furniture used

Sometimes they find no home at
