O. Z. 8. to Aid in Sale Of Seals. =
The Order Of Eastern Star is
going to aid in the sale Of the Rcd
Cross tuberculosis Christmas seals
next Friday and Saturday. Mrs.
G. Schneider, chairman of Rock
Island chapter 269, has appointed a
committee of Mrs. Helen Lucas and
Mrs. Kate V. Collier, who in turn
will name their workers for the
special effort. The women will be
stationed in banks. stores and var
ious places Of business where they
will earnestly solicit help for the
victims of the dread tuberculosis.
The sale OF the seals has been going
very slowly and the local organiza-
ton and societies back 6f it think
that a great many people have but a
vague knowledge of the real use to
which the funds raised by the seals
is put. The money raised in this
way does not 60 to the national
head of the Red Cross but 70 to 80
per cent stays in Rock Island and
is used in our own sanitarium here.
The tax levied by the city takes
care of only the housing, food and
medicine of patients at the sanitar-
ium but makes no provision for
clothing and incidentals needed by
patients. 1t is understood that
many patients at the, hosp1-
tai are in need Of warm clothing
for their life in the open air. The
20 to 80 per cent which must be
sent to the National Red Cross is
hut q small portion and the re-
mainder is used for the help OF tha
local hospital. The money raised
nov is also used through the visit
ing nurse outside Of the iristitu-
tion in cases where the patient has
been dismissed from the hospital as
an arrested case>and requires warm
clothing and aid to prevent another
attack Of the malady. 1t will de-
pend on the amount raised from the
sale of the seals how much Rock
Island will have to humanely pro-
vide for those in the city who are
already afflicted and to wage the
fight against the fast spreading dis
ease. The Red Cross aided by the
! Eastern Star hope to meet with a
generous response during the spec
ial two days campaign for this
home charity and responsibility to
suffering victims of tuberculosis.

The order closing all OF the
schools of the city of Council Bluffs
until January 5 affects the Amer
icanization school that was to be
opened in the public library build
ing today and also the night school,
and the library building.
The drastic order shortening the
business day to one-half and chm
mating the evenings entirely will be
hard, but there was general will
ingness expressed to comply with it
to the letter.
The order closing all pool halls
affects several cigar stores where
pool tables operated in connection
with the business and all in the same
room. 1t will pretty nearly wreck
the business to stop the tables and
continue to heat the rooms, say the
proprietors. Several such places
announced that the courts might be
appealed to.

husband Inundated her before
friends, telling her, among other
things, that she must not go bathing
His conduct was boorish and
crabby," alleges Mrs. Schwarzkoff.
She says he was suspicious of her,
often picking quarrels and repeated
ly inquiring if she had received mail
or telephone messages during the
day. The plaintiff alleges that while
she and the defendant were living at
434 West One Hundred and Twenti-
eth street, New York, she went to
the Biltmora hotel one night with
friends. That was November II,
1918, and some time laater her hus-
band put in an appearance, she says,
and insisted on her returning home
with him.
