FIND WALTER REED

Far Superior to Fort Sheri-

Secretary Baker.

against the completion Of the hospital
buildings for soldiers at Fort Sheri-
dan because of the fire hazard at
tached 10 them. has inspected Walter
Reed Hospital and reported yesterday
afternoon to Secretary Baker on that
hospital as compared with the Fort
Sheridan project
The committee OF Chicago women
declared in its report that at the
Walter Reed Hospital buildings the
fire hazard was far less than at Fort
Sheridan. In this connection the re-
port said:
Not Entirely Satisfying.
Although we would not be salts
fed with buildings such as these for
the wounded soldiers who are TO be
housed in the Chicago district, and
although engineers and war risk men
OF the War Department have admit
TED their enormous IRE hazard, we are
forced 10 the conclusion that the
Walter Reed Hospital is so far SUI
perior in safety TO the Fort Sheridan
Hospital that there is virtually no
comparison
The committee which visited the
Walter Reed Hospital is composed OF
Mrs Mary u. Fisher, chairman, as
sociate publisher of the women's
Press. Mrs William SEVERN and Mrs
George E. Sevey
Comparing the two hospitals. the
committee pointed out that virtually
tall of the one-story buildings at Wal
ter Reed have concrete foundations.
and that the twe-story buildings are
constructed OF infiammable materials,
cement hollow tile and plaster and
wire. On the other hand, the commit
tee points out the buildings at Fort
Sheridan are all two and half sto-
ries and are constructed with highly
iinfiammable wooden foundations.
Protected by District.
In addition to the Army agencies
for fire fighting, the committee says.
the District of Columbia maintains a
special detail of fire-fghting appa-
ratus, the sole duty of which is to
keep q Yigflant watch over Walter
Reed Hospital Fort Sheridan, on the
other hand, is twenty miles from Chi
cago and it's fire fighters.
We want TO assure you. Mr.. Secre-
tary, the report continues, that nei-
Their we nor the mothers of the middle
west, whose sons have been wounded.
Will agree to the use of the Fort
Sheridan wooden hospitals as such"
The suggestion is made that these
wooden buildings be turned into ware
houses. 1t is entirely feasible to oh
tain fireproof hospitals for the SOL
diers in Chicago, the report says, and
mentions the Speedway Hospital,
about which there has been consider
able controvspsy. This hospital. it is
said, can be completed at only slight
ly greater cost than the Fort Sheri-
dan Hospital
Secretary Baker said that although
the matter had been settled with the
understanding that the Fort Sheridan
Hospital would be used. he intended
to reopen it.

Port Gibson women know how the
aches and pans that often come when
the kidneys fail make life burden.
Backache, hip pains, headaches, dizzy
spells, distressing urinary troubles,
are frequent indications Of weak kid

Doan's Kidney Pills are for the kid
neys only. They attack kidney dis
eases BY striking at the cause. Here's
proof Of their merit in a Port Gibson
woman's words:
Mrs. J. P. Watkins, Church St.,
says: "A few months ago had suf-
fered great deal with kidney trouble
My back was always the worst source
Of the complaint and it would ache
and pain severely through my kidneys.
l often had dizzy spells and severe
headaches. Doan's Kidney Pills are
the best remdy / evr got for this
trouble and they have done me a
world Of good. A few boxes, which

CLAUDE TOWN. Ely SPOKE +
AT COURT HOUSE SATURDAY

Claude Townley, brother Of A. C.
Townley. the president of the National
Farmers Non-Partisan League, spoke
at New London. Spicer, Kandiyohi and
Wi1lmar last week. Thru some over
sight, the Willmar meeting had not
been much advertised. but nevertheless
there was quite crowd present, and
Mr.. Townley held them for two hours
by his address at the court house last
Saturday evening. The speaker was a
young farmer in Otter Tail county and
his depletion of conditions of farm life
came from personal experience.
He numerically scored the prof1teers,
who prey on the farmers and laborers,
and the apologfsts, the standpat poll
tic1ans and press. When one considers
OF V11llhcatlon and misrepresentation
accorded the farmers political move
ment 1t is not surprising that it's repre-
sentatives strike back hard.
The speech contained much sound
logic, however, on the economic issues
represented by the Non-partisan league
One telling point used was that farm
ers wanted to establish terminal ele-
vators and mills necessary to secure for
them justice in marketing conditions
In exactly the same manner as the citi-
zens of Kandiyohi Village established
a municipal electric light plant the
other day, by going to the ballot-box
and voting for it. One is no more or
no less socialism than the other The
Babcock road plan, endorsed by many
enemies Of the Non-partisan league in
Minnesota, is a much more reckless
form of Socialism than the much
smaller sum with which North Dakota
will build elevators and mills and loan
the money on first farm mortgages.
The speaker closed with an appeal for
support of the new daily newspaper
soon to be launched for the northwest

? WHY -?

Do Businessmen, Doctors, Lawyers,
Bankers, Ministers and all classes of
men and women, young and old like to
play American Box Ball?
BECAUSE it's a clean, wholesome
sport that furnishes the right amount
OF exercise and inspires zest and en-
thusiasm. It helps them keep fit and
in good condition.: They know the ne
cessity for good healthy exercise if they
wish to keep mentally keen and alert.
They find it in Box Ball and they find
Keen enjoyment as well, no one ever
tires Of 1t.
1t is Abso1ute1y an Ideal pastime and
amusement for all ages-The whole
family can enjoy it-men bring their
wives and fellows bring their ladies.
1t is this universal appeal that makes
American Box Bali the most popular
indoor sport in this country today. It's
game that is beyond reproach. It
cannot be criticized from any stand
point 1t cannot be used for gambling
1t IS positively innocent, healthy re-
creation and an immensely interesting
and fascinating amusement.
American Box Ball is a feature in the
social life Of many communities, the
Box Ball Parlor is the gathering place
of the very best people.
Clubs, Churches, Schools and Socie-
ties organize teams and enter into the
opoIl' luc rivalry developed aQdS TO the
interest and enjoyment
Everybody likes tits a sport that
never grows old.
There is an urgent need right now for
clean wholesome amusement in many
communities and American Box Ball
Parlors are being opened up all over
the country.
In the near future there will be an
up-to date American Box Ball Parlor
in Wlllmar. Keep posted on the future
developments through this paper-Paid
