large number of children who, if neg

Il was these as well as for for those
who have boone crippled from other
causes. that the state department OF
health has established clinics in many
paris of the state
The established clinic list at present
includes the following cities: Aurora,
Sprin gfeld, Waukegan, Blue Island,
Chicago Heights. Oak Park, Dekalb,
Freeport Quincy. Kankakee Danville.

There is a touch OF human nature
common to all mankind which com

What the Men of '61 Have Done.

The veterans of the Grand Army of
the Republic have complained for many
years that the exercises of the National
Memorial Day did: not attract the at
tention that they ought to. While they
were upholding the lessons Of patrio-
tism in poorly attended meetings, the
crowds were going to the ball games.
Men who had placed their lives at the
service Of their country felt this appar-
ent neglect very keenly.
Yet these veterans in an unostenta-
tous way have been conducting pa
trlotlc work that has had profound re-
suits. AS they spoke to the children in
their schools, as they delivered their
fervant speeches at camp fires and en-.
campments, they emphasized certain
ideal. The men who served in the Con.
federate forces expressed the same con.
viction.
The two great and grey bearded
armies stood for this idea, that man
VINO has respect for himself must
cheerfully give up the security and the
peace Of his home when the call OF
duty and patriotism comes. and must
be prepared to defend his principley to
the death if need be.
Fifty years of peace followed the ter
rltic onslaughts Of 61-65. The little
Spanish war seems today but a slight
interruption. Many people thought
that the spirit Of 81 had died out OF
the American heart. But all through
these years the veterans of the Civil
war on both sides of the old line Of di.
vision had been sowing seed. They
communicated their conviction to a new
generation. When the call came. that
generation rose and acted with the
spirit that had been handed on to them
These veterans, then, are entitled to
special honor on this years Memoria]
Day, not merely for their great sacri.
fees and service, SO years ago, but for
the quiet patient labor of years in up.
holding national standard of devotion
and service Their spirit fired the
young America of today, and made it
unconquerable

The Victory Loan Work.

Now that the last Of the popular
i loans has been put over with a bang,
It becomes possible to form final esti-
mate OF a very remarkable phase of the
! war work. It would not have been
tho. thought possible at the beginning of
]. the war to sell an amount Of bonds to
the people which it is estimated will
I come to $24,OOO,OOO,O Some bankers
said the government could not sell over
$500, 100000 in any one popular sub
scription.
How was it done? First, by organi-
4ation. This country never saw any
voluntary movement so thoroughly
systematized and extending every
where, from the most remote rural
communities to the most congested city
districts. It shows what marvellous
things can be done when people bestir
themselves and work after systematic
method.
Second, Advertising. The publicity
work on this loan enlisted the services
OF great body Of capable experts.
They have not used elaborate methods,
1A,s~S AAs~'S oAAApAJ 0pPCoAOu W CAAO OOoA~
feelings of patriotism and self respect.
And the newspapers have given an
enormous amount of unpaid publicity.
It all shows what advertising can do.
Third, public spirited service. Bank
ers, business men, and all classes Of
people, have given an enormous amount
Of unpaid time The bankers have
made no money out of it, but all forces
a0f bank workers had to do almost
double their usual amount of work
while the campaigns were on.
Fourth, the Quota System. This idea
of apportioning certain amount to
every state, every city, and every town,
as it's fair share, puts the responsible
ty up to each community. It is great
scheme for financing public causes
It shows what magnificent results
can be had when people organize, adj
vertise, give time to public work, and
put it up to everyone to do his share.

With the transferring of the f54th
Depot Brigade to areas A. b and y
and the consequent closing of hut &C.
No. 2, the administration plans to en-
large it's entertainment program for
the boys of the sanitary detachment
in N 81. They have been given bar
racks N 81, very fine building for
the purpose. This building ii being
equipped from &C. No. 2. and viii be-
ready for full service within few
days. This work will continue under
the auspices of the writer until fur
as 1t were an oasis in the desert for
the boys, as long as there are sufi-
cient enlisted men to warrant the ef~s
fort.
Several men we're discharged from
this detachment on the 7th. and we
have never seen Il happier bunch. Most
of them had served in the Army near~
ly two years and were glad to be res.
leased. The service records of these
men show that they have served their
country in creditable manner. The
discharged are: Sergt. Rodgers, Ter~
rell, Nash, Scrandage, Grimes. F1etch@'
er, Oliver, Cranberry. Clark. Lee. HaWA
kinss Weaver, Fawlk and Hughes.
Rodgers enlisted in the service from
Carbondale, ILL.,. october 2S. 1917, and
was assigned to the Headquarters
Company Of the 36Sth and was later
sent to the Signal Corps School. On
April 8. 1918. he was transferred to
the sanitary detachment as mess SER
geant. in. which capacity he served
until discharged.

also made his getaway after serving
nearly one year. Fluke was inducted
into the Army from WashingtOns
ID. c.. July 20. 1918. and was placed In
Company As. 18th Battalion. SOSth In
fantry, now in France. After several
transfers he was finally placed in the
Sanitary Corps and has served as cook
since. FIuke left his service record
much like he had been accustomed ia
leaving his plate after hearty meal
clean. Therefore, the pantry will
also miss him. He was an all-r0und
athlete and was especially strong In
base ball. He was n stronR-affgA
pitcher and was the life Of the team.
