TO MAKE IT VOLUNTARY
No Pressure To Be Used for Roosevelt
Memorial Campaign.

M6mOF101 campaign.
Earl Akers, state director of the
Roosevelt memorial campaign, an
nounced today that the practices fol-
lowed during the various war drives
will not be used during the campaign
for the Roosevelt memorial. No
pressure is to be brought to bear upon
any one to contribute to the memorial
fund. It is planned to give every one
an opportunity to contribute a small
amount for the memorial but no one
will be strong armed" to secure the
money.
This campaign is purely a volun-
tary matter" said Mr.. Akers. 1--WE
expect to have the campaign so well
organized that people in every county
and hamlet will have an opportunity
to contribute to the cause. But we
ar esending specific instructions to ev-
cry county chairman and he will
communicate with every township and
city chairman and they to the MEM
bers of the teams that no persuasive
methods are to be used under any cir
cumstanceS to raise the fund.
There are great many people who
opposed Colonel Roosevelt politically.
But there is none who has ever ques-
toned his personal or political integ-
rfty. There may be some who have
their political animosities still ranking
and there may be some who are con-
stitutionally opposed to giving away a
OlIue lot any purpose no matter now
worthy. Then there may be some who
are opposed to the erection of any
memorial to Colonel Roosevelt or are
opposed to the preservation of his
ideals of Americanism.
1.-The county and local chairmen and
the team members are to be asked to
give these men a chance to contribute
and if they do not wish to do so the
solicitors are to retire without any
urging or demand.
Another thing that we want to i'm
press upon every solicitor is that a
penny is just as welcome as a dime
or a quarter or a dollar or even a
larger amount. The whole purpose
of this campaign is to get as many
contributors as possible-to get as
many contributors as possible-to get
as many folks interested as we can.
OF course some large contributions
will be necessary and acceptable, but

NO FLU IN KANSAS CITY
Health Director Does Not Believe Epi-
demic VIII Break Out.

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 24.-There
will be no recurrence of the influenza
epidemic here this fall, DIR. z. H. Bull
lock, health director, said, after an
exhaustive study. of the problem: Doc
tor Bullock said that inquiries in
neighboring states had shown that
some influenza was prevalent, but the
few cases were well scattered.
"Only one factor of the present con-
ditions conduces to a recurrence of the
malady," he said. THAT is the sugar
shortage. 1t is the most disastrous
Sugar is the most valuable food in fit
ting the human system to resist in
fluenza. 1t is needed for consumption
now and for preserving fruits for win
ter use. Persons should can the fall
fruits without sugar now and add it
when they desire to put the fruit on
their tables next winter"
The health director expressed the
opinion that there was no reason for
a sugar shortage at present.
Il think that some action curtailing
or regulating the manufacturing of
time" Doctor Bullock declared. "No
doubt much sugar is being used in
that manner. and ii. is needed for more
serious purposes now"
One year ago, according to the
health director the influenza epidemic
was just becoming acute. The anti
influenza campaign being conducted
by the health department has met
with success so far, it was said yester-
day. Rooming houses were fast being
placed in a sanitary condition thru
out the city.
A fairly reliable system of medical
inspection has been established in the
schools. Other minor precautions
have been made effective. One case
of influenza pneumonia was reported
to the CONTAGIOUS diseases division of
the health department. Yesterday.

Of the troops. Those simple lads,
many of them were little more than

The big Cathedral Club, so called
because it was in the shadow of the
famous Cathedral of St. Julien. built
in the eleventh century, was under
the jurisdiction of Secretary Rich
ard V. Norris, of Washington
Heights, New York City. Mr.. Nor
ris was a very popular man and his
club had big attendance, not mere
ly because he was a kindly, hard
working secretary, but also by rea-
son of the fact that his building
was equipped with twenty-four hot
and cold shower baths and two hun
dred emergency cots. The tired,
dusty doughboy entered the Cathe-
dral Club, had his bath, shed his
worn underwear and socks, got a
new equipment, including safety
razor, if he needed one, and emerged
ready to tackle all the vicissitudes
of war.

Overhaul Park Camp was one of
the busiest military establishments

boys were there, but not in khaki.
Instead they wore jean pants and

kept the wheels going round. Their

"bang, bang, bang of the hammer
