The extreme cold weather this win ter has caused unusual damage through frosted combs and wattles of fowls. In the large-eomb breeds both cocks and hens are affected.

 Treat Dsfors Thawdng.
 When nrst frozen the comb and wat ties retain their normal color, except for . slight whiteness of the skin of the frozen parts. After the affected parts thaw out they turn dark in color. and there Is more or less inflammation in them and the adjacent parts. Treat ment Is moet beneficial if nrst applied before the frozen parts begin to thaw. At this stage the best treatment is to rub with cold vaseline or lard. manipu- lating gently with the fingers to draw the frost gradually and restore circu- lation. When the frost is out anoint the parts with . mixture of 6 table spoonfnls vaseline, 2 tablespoonfuls glycerine. tablespoonful turpentine.

TENT HOSPITALS
HELP CAMPS
More Than Fifty Of These Have Been
Set Up in Various Places
in Few Weeks.
[By United Press,I


LONDON, Aug. 9.-(By mail.)-A
new problem in hospital work was
presented to the American Red Cross
in Great Britain recently by the large
number of small camps of American
soldiers, particularly aviators, which
have been opened in various parts of
the British Isles. These camps are
too small to require the installation
of a large hospital, but there are fire.
ouent cases of illness or accident,
and the camps are generally located
at points far distant from the regu-
lar military hospitals.
The problem has been met by the
establishment, in each camp, of
small tent hospital" where Ameri-
can soldiers suffering from minor all
ments can be cared for satisfactorily.
More than fifty of these tent hos
pitais have been set up in various
small American camps during the
past few weeks. each accommodating
from four to ten patients. The SOL
diers welcome this arrangement
enthusiastically, for the soldier when
i'll. likes to be near his friends and
the men of his unit, and disllkes
being transferred to distant hos
pitaI in strange surroundings. Dur
ing the recent prevalence OF influenza
in the camps, these tent hospitals
proved a great boon.

Address Made at Flag Raising cele-
bration at the Shops of
Railroad by One Who Meant
What He Said
DRAMATIC SIMPLICITY
Was stenosraphIeaIIy Reported by
Railroad Officials Who Have Been
Passing It Around Among
Friends.

The Gate City believes that this is
the first publication of remarkable
human document almost as dramatic
in its simplicity as the play based
upon the loyalty of Americans from
Germany With it goes its story.
The shopmen> of the st. Paul rail-
road at Milwaukee had big celebra-
ton when the colored employees
raised a big flag. The shop foreman
was called on for speech, and some
official of the railroad had steno-
graphic report of his address made.
This shorthand report was type
written and has been passing around /
by hand among the friends of the
officials of the road ever since. One
copy was brought to Keokuk the
other day by friend of railroad
man and given to The Gate City.
The speech made on that patriotic
occasion by Joseph Petram can
hardly be excelled for it's patriotism
from a quarter where patriotism is
most valued, and was as follows
Schentlemens: For why we are
here to raise dot flag and to cele-
brate dot flag vot is raised up there

Minor Leagues
Not Yet Dead,
Says Farrell
Secretary of National Body
Points Out Fifteen Will
Be in Field

John II. Farrell, secretary of the Ma
Baseball Clubs, is quite sanguine over
the future of minor league baseball,
despite the difficulties in which the In
ternational League nnds itself. Mr..
Farrell declares that fifteen minor
, leagues, exclusive Of The international,
will be in the field in 1918
Thirteen old established minor or
carnations have prepared to bid for
patronage again, while two new minor
leagues have applied for (and will be
Eranted), membership and protection.
The leagues which were in the field last
season and which will begin the 1918
campaign, are:
American Association; Pacific Coast:
Eastern; Southern Association: West
ern; Texas; New York State; South
Atlantic; Central; Central Association;
Blue Ridge; Western Association and
Northwestern.
1t appeared even more doubtful than
ever yesterday that the Internationa
League would make any attempt =
build up it's ruined fences. AS matt.
Of fact, only Baltimore and Toronto
were determined to carry on, and both
these clubs have begun to weaken. Jack
Dunn. of the Orioles, was hustling
around last night, trying to dispose Of
his players. Jim McCaffery, Of the
Maple Leafs, on the other hand, was
obdurate. He declares he will hold onto
his players or the most Of them, and
that he will tour Canada and war
wracked Europe, In case the circuit
goes under.
Almost without exception, the other
seven magnates Of the once strong
minor organization have thrown their
players on the market. A dozen or
yesterday, mostly ito American Asso-
citation clubs. The International League
may eventually disband without for
feitang territorial rights, as result of
a recent war measure passed by the
governing powers Of the game.

Sunday Ball in
New York NAV
Change Dates
National League Formally
Adopts Playing Schedule
Only Three Conflicts

The National League formally
adopted its usual 154-game schedule
In session yesterday afternoon at the
Waldorf-Astoria. AS an evidence Of
the increasing finesse of the schedule
makers there will be, but three con-
h'cting dates-all in Chicago-between
the American and National leagues. In
1904. when the 154-gamc schedule first
was called for. there were forty-two
conflicts.
No provision has been made for the
possible legalization Of Sunday base
ball in the State of New York. This
measure, were it to pass at Albany,
would influence the activities of the
Giants. Yankees and Dodgers. While
the schedule makers have proceeded
without taking into account this posi-
bllity 1t is certain, that in the event of
Sunday bali in New York, the playing
chart could be rearranged that the
three local major league clubs would
benefit through the new statute.
AS has been announced heretofore
the opening games will be BROOKLYN
playing the New York Giants at the
Polo Grounds, Boston meeting Philadel-
phia at Philadelphia, Pittsburgh at
Cincinnati and Chicago at St. Louis.

dates that have been allotted each team

capturing the plunge for distance at
the monthly swimming races of the
club, held last night. Carroll twice
covered the length of the tank, rs feet,
going the distance in his second effort
in 5535 seconds, and clipping off the
fraction in his third and last attempt.
John Remmey and Leo Giebel were Sec
ond and third, respectively.
John ]. Weed, another Winged Foot
swimmer, with a handicap of 13 sec

gin of two yards from Clarence A. Ross,
who had 9-second allowance Leo
Giebel, the scratch man, completed the
distance in the actual time of 58A sec

The Phillies have traded Outfelder
Claude Cooper and Southpaw Fittery to
the Los Angeles club of the Pacific
Coast League for Pitcher Bradley Hogg
Hogg was a sensation in the South At
lantic and Southern League some few
years ago, but because of a sore arm
failed in his first trial in fast COM
pany. His record with Los Angeles in
1917 stamped him as one Of the finest
