.'IF''

If you can toss a match into clearing,
And never give a thought to put it out,
Or drop your cigarette butt without fearing
That flames may kindle in leaves about
If you can knock the ashes from your brier,
Without glance to see where they may fall,
And later find the forest all afire.
When you have passed-with no one near to call,
If you can drive your auto through the working,
And cast your stogie stub into the slash,
Unmildful of the danger therein lurking,
or homes and happiness that you may smash,
If you can leave campfire while it's glowing,
No thought of industries that it may blight,
OF the billion saplings in the growing,
Turned into charcoal ere the coming night,
If you can start fire beneath brush pile
When the wind is roaring lake distant gun
You surely should be shot without trial
And what is more, you'll be fool, my son.

ed service crosses, promotions, etc. The military
work Of the Indians has been literally featured in
newspapers and magazines and the public generally
are anxious to know about the Indians part in the
war; and the probable effect Of his experience upon
his postwar outlook and attitude towards social and
Industrial conditions. It is necessary to make

HOSPITAL NOTES AND NEWS

1t is a matter of considerable pride to to
note the enormous decrease in the amount OF
trachoma at Red Lake. The campaign against
this eye dsease&was begun about years
on this reservation and excepting the last year the
treatment has been faithfully prosecuted. 1t has
seemed long and very arduous time to those who
have been afflicted with the trouble but it has been
we'll worth the effort, time and annoyance.
If you but know that at the beginning Of this
campaign there were over so per cent of all pu-
pills in all the schools on the reservation who were
suffering from the disease, and today less than 10
per cent you will realize what it means. Moreover,
the present 10 per cent do not average more than
half as much in severity Of form. few have
had very trying time in that they were subject
ed to longer treatment to effect cure, and a few
others have interferred with their good by
being absent from school and thus not being regu-
larly and properly treated.
DR.. w. H. Harrison, who has been here, and who
is an authority on trachoma, a few years ago very
truly stated, "The salvation of trachoma among
the Indians lies in the schools This has proven to
be absolutely accurate this and every other
walton. The pupils in the schools always there
and on time, and therefore strictly regular in hav
ing their eyes properly treated.
The Indians the reservation always manage
to have excuse for irregularity complete
failure to be treated. For instance, since begin
ming this article one of best-known Indians,
whom l have personally known to have trachoma
for six years came in with his customary
'ssore eyes," My instruction was that he would
do we'll to have his lids Immediately operated upon
and get under persistent treatment, and this same
thing has been asked of him many times before.
Junt now he says ~ have to do my planting first,
and then will have it done" This is only vari
alton from the usual of excuses, and the motto
to be "Never do today anything which you
can put off until tomorrow
Therefore, it is easily seen that DR.. Harrison
correct, and must everlastingy keep after the
schools, hoping that the older persons will the
light In the meantime, however, you should dwell
the thought that every grownup person who

carries trachoma around in his neglected eyes,
is simply planting the disease in more and innocent
persons eyes who will have to suffer the conse-
quences.
The cause methods of treatment, and disasters
resulting from trachoma have been preached from
these columns and from every stump on the reser-
walton for so long that you all know about it, and
especially do some Of you know too well the dis
aster.
Mrs Elliott, assistant nurse, has received
word Of the safe arrival Of Dr. Elliott from

this hospital has always had tender spot for the

"On the average, four families out of every five

''This magnificent accomplishment the results of

out this year alone in interest on Liberty Bonds,
to more than twenty million bondholders,

brought about in no other way.
"The first concern Of the 1919 Thrift campaign
will be to perpetuate this attitude toward saving,
because IL is fundamentally rlgnC Inc man VINO

Systematically and seldom much. The man
who saves first whatever he decides to save, has
solved his problem. Every people and nation
the globe which practices saving before spending,
is noted for spending wisely, investing and rein
vesting soundly and for the avoidance of waste.
Saving first has been the foundation of every for
tune laid in Thrift and everyone who practices it
is laying the foundation of his fortune"

UNIVERSITY OF

ASK ENDOWMENT
Luncheon at University Club
Addressed by President Jen-
kins and Dr.. Hall-Quest
of Cincinnati.

A campaign to increase the en-
dowment of the University of Oma-

business men of the city who are

are friends of the university were
also present. DR.. Daniel E. Jenkine,
president of the university, presided.
DR.. Jenkins stated that no fixed
amount had been fixed as goal in
the drive for additional endowment
and equipment, but that there would
be a vigorous, business-like appeal
made to all the citizens of Omaha to
aid in the fort.
The speaker at the luncheon was
DR.. A. L. Hall-Quest. head of the de-
partment of secondary education OF
Cincinnati university. and director of
high schools of that city, DIR. Hall
Quest spoke on the value of mu-
nicipal universities to the cities own
ing and operating them. Much OF
his address was a description OF the
work of the University of Cincinnati,
which he described as a true NUM-
cipal university, because it was sup
ported by city taxation as we'll as by
endowment.
DR.. Hall-Quest is in Omaha for
his second summer delivering a
course of lectures at the University
of Omaha. DR. jenkins announced
that there were $50 matrculates al
the summer school, $50 of whom
were public school teachers Of
