DETROIT FIRST PLACE TO HAVE
 KIWAN|S BOARD

Detroit, Michigan, was the home of the first Kiwanis club. The man who first conceived the idea was formerly engaged as an organizer for wcll-known fraternal society. Dur ing his travels he encountered many mon oL many viewpoints, and out of this association he formed the opinion that a club built strictly on business principals was the one that most sorely needed organization. He believed, after discussion with other men interested in the project, that the club should have a restricted membership, and that it's meeting place should be such that men could meet on common ground, thresh out their business problems, and at the same time enjoy a social benefit growing out of association of men in similar lines of business.
 In 1914, near the end of the year, club was organized which, after due consideration, was named the "Kiwanis club" Its organizers named Charles A. Reed temporary chairman and w. o. Robertson secretary.
 In January, 1915, the original club membership grew to include 20 mem- bers. Before long, it was discovered that noon day luncheons were con- ducive to best results in an organiZa- tion of this character and accordingly henceforth the luncheons were held at this hour. Lectures began to be introduced at the meetings and en- thusiasm was rife in the project. Many influential men became identi- fled with the movement, and finally the club was incorporated and ar engagements for the organization Of subsidiary clubs made. In Septem- Der, 1915, a charter was granted.
 James B. Shields of Cleveland was named the first president and W. O. Robertson secretary. After the com pletion of the organization of the Cleveland club, there was a member ship of 250 persons.
 Clubs were started in Rochester Buffalo New York, Boston and Chi rago. There are now clubs in Wor- rester Mass; Newark, N. J.; Provi- hence, R. l.; Hartford, Conn; Syra- cuse. N. Y; Albany, N.

ALEXANDER WOULD
 GET PART IF SUM PA|D BY CHICAGO
Republican A. p. Leased WIrel

OMAHA, Jan. 25.-Grover Alexander, the pitcher for whom the Chicago Ma tionals paid $5O,O0O along with his bat tery mate, Catcher Killifer, admitted tonight that he had informed Presl- dent Weeghman of the Chicago club that he would not play ball next season unless given part of the purchase price.
 The former Philadelphia star con- tends that he originally cost the Phila- delphia club only $750, that he served it faithfully and that he thought he was entitled to part of the money the club received for his contract. He said that when the Chicago Americans pur- chased Eddie Collins from Philadelphia, the star second baseman was given S15,O0O by Charles Comiskey, president of the Chicago club.
 Weeghman, Alexander said, told him 10 make his demands to William F. Baker, president of the Philadelphia club. Although Alexander has declined to say what amount he would demand his friends say he will ask for S10,000

of the stomach and of recent
years with rheumatism and it
seemed my troubles were steadi-
ly growing worse.
My food would sour on my
stomach and the gas pressing
against my heart affected my
breathing greatly. / fell off ur-
til l only weighed seventy-six
pounrs and was so weak and ner-'
vous / got but little sleep at
nights. l was constipated and
suffered terribly from headaches.
The rhematism affected my low
er limbs mostly and l had sucn
pains through my back and right
side / simply could not look after
my household duties.
1T surely was surprising to
me the way Tanlac took hold Of
my troubles. My appetite got
better and in a short time l was
eating just whatever l wanted.
My strength came back to me
day by day and / soon overcame
the trouble from constipation
and the headaches. The pains
in my back and side have left
me and / don't even feel the
rheumatism in my lower limbs

What Only three women in Barre in
terested enough in the comfort OF our
soldiers on this side of the water and
overseas to come to the Red Cross rooms
Yesterday afternoon to sew! No, il can
not be that the signing Of the armistiee
should cause such drop in the morale OF
those at home that they no longer are
going to stand back Of the boys over
there and here There must be some
other reason. Perhaps the women do not
realize the greatness Of the need. What
ever the cause, there were just three
women who came to the rooms to work
Yesterday afternoon and two others came
for pajamas to take home. Five women
30 pairs of pajamas, to be completed
as soon as possible! Can they do It'll
OF course they cannot. It's up TO YOU.
without doubt many of the articles to
be made from now on viii be used for
the boys who are TO be brought across TO
base hospitals in this country, boys who
were wounded to save YOUR country
from the fate Of the countries in Europe,
and YOUR boy, or brother, or sweet
heart, may be among them. Don't desert
them now, Just because the armistice is
signed. They stood by until the last gun
was fired. Won't you stand by as long
as you are neededf
