powerful emetic-causing them to
throw up their hands in horror at the
thought of such whole-hearted sup.
port of the Allied Cause.
For the average American the dose
suggested is from $50 to $5OOO-taken
daily in small quantities over long
period, or swallowed at one time and
followed by feeling of happiness
which cannot be appreciated until ex-
perienced.
And while this is suggested as the
most admirable antidote for this pos-
on, it also possesses the peculiar
quality of providing a pill" for Kais-

they were immensely pleased with his

Following the set addresses, Rev.
D. A. Johnson. pastor of the Central
Presbyterian church, told the fedora
ton members Of the attempts that
would undoubtedly be made to divert
attention from the local option issue
in the effort Of its opponents to pre-
vent Rock Island from going dry at
the April election. He warned his
hearers to be on the alert for pitfalls
of this kind and quoted federal Of
fetal as saying that 1.-THE citizens Of
Rock Island could show their patriot
ism and loyalty to the government in
no better way than by voting ous
those places which are doing SO much
to undermine the efficiency of the SOL
dier and the mechanic employed by

as saying that this would be of far
greater benefit to the government than

though these were patriotic duties just

see the success of these other efforts
negatived by the deplorable influences

hotel on Beaver.

Mahoney acted as interlocutor.
Chaplain James c. Peterson, who
has just come to Camp Dodge to be
attached to the One Hundred Sixty
third depot brigade, was for several
years located in Harlan, Shelby
county, Iowa.
The Herrold theatre on the western
edge of camp is doing a big business.
For the month of December alone the
war tax from the theatre amounted to
1896. Every night the theatre is filled
with soldiers.
Cold weather doesn't stop Uncle
Sam. Even when it was 20 degrees
below. work on the new base hospi-
tai addition never ceased and the
CHEEKY whistling Of the workmen
mingled with the blasting and the
sound of the hammer
The bigness of the camp and the
cold weather combined to produce
some funny results. For instance, a
visitor might imagine the soldiers
spent much of their time playing the
old game of fox and geese The whole
camp is cut up into little paths
through the snow. They run in every
direction. On a cold morning some
soldier bravely strikes out through
the snow and takes a short cut across
a fire break or between barracks
Pretty soon another follows his tracks
and soon there is well-worn little
path which cuts off many extra steps
which would be necessary by follow
ing the road.
Everything is done in a neat, ship
shape way. Camp Dodge soldiers take
the attitude that the smallest task is
not too small to merit being done in
the best way possible. Even a little
sign such as DO Not Drive in the
Rut" is neatly lettered in black on &
little white board and put up in {
conspicuous place In civilian life
such a sign probably would be scrawl
ed in lead pencil on an old piece O
pasteboard and considered quite goot
enough.
The fame of Camp Dodge is spread
ing abroad and many visitors who ar,
stopping off between trains take ad
