with the knowledge accessible 10
leaders in the war fund camp aisn- IL
is 4 pretty close estimate and made
50 carefully that the director OF pub
licity for the campaign is willing TO
have it published.
@ More than half of the total amount
was given to keokuk chapter, ana
minority to the war fund OF the Am
erican Red Cross, by the donors. But
they have no objection to switching
the money in these two funds, IL
necessary. and this will be done
judicially and carefully.
Joy May go to France.
The impossibility of making cap
tains, lieutenants and battalion COM
nanders realize the necessity OF
daily reports every morning to the
accounting department, makes no
actual official figures available at
noon of the last day of the week. 1t
is estimated that about $4,000 Is be-
ing held out by team captains ana
township chairuhen for future remit
lance to the accounting department.
Some of this is due to desire TO
thrill the officers with large sum
at once, and some of it to desire
to report more than some other team.
This foolishness has cost the Red
Gross a couple Of thousand dollars IN
this campaign. and no figures by
teams will ever be printed.
The campaign ends Monday even
ing. After tonight in will be IN
charge of Chairman joys cabinet
with C. F. Mcfarland presiding. Chair

Why Let Prejudice Bind You 10 a
Life of Rheumatic Torture?

Be fair to yourself, you suffer from
rheumatism, no matter what form. Go
to Fishers Bros or any good druggist
and get package Of Rheuma, the guar
anteed prescription. Use the entire
bottle, and if you don't think it has
given you quick and sure relief, say so.
and you can have your money back.
Isn't that fair offer? Can you see
any deceit or red tape about it? What
chance do you take? Absolutely none.
Then get a bottle of Rheuma today.
It's reputable physicians prescrip-
ton, altogether different from RENE
dies usually prescribed, free from
narcotics, and perfectly harmless.
Rheuma acts on the kidneys and helps
to force the uric acid from the swollen
joints and other lodging places. It
pleases you in a day; it makes you
hopeful and happy in week. It has
released from bondage rheumatic
sufferers who thought nothing would
give relief. 1t should do as much for
yOu-it seldom fails.
Don't miss this moneyback offer A
large bottle, sufficient for two weeks
treatment, is inexpensive.
