CRITICISM
OF MEMORIAL,
One Veteran Of World War Objects to
x. OF c. Money Being Used to
Erect Marble Build

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-Use of
the S5,0o0,000 offered by the Knights
of Columbus to the American Legion
for national memorial building in
Washington would constitute moral
breach of trust and an act Of injus-
tice.' to many suffering soldiers, Mar
vim Sperry, national president of the
Private Soldiers and Sailors Legion
declared in an open letter to Supreme
Knight James A. F1aherty.
The money offered was contributed
during the war for the laid and re-
lief of our soldiers" Sperry asserted
and its use for the construction of a
great marble palace at Washington"
would be an "indefensible diversion
from the purpose for which it was in
tended"
American Legion officials will meet
in New York to consider acceptance
Of the offer.

SUMMARY OF WORK .
DONE IN COUNTY.
Miss Margaret c. Henke, Red Cross
Nurse Tells What Has Been Ac-
compIished in This
Section.
PUPILS ALL EXAMINED
Many Defects are Corrected and Chill
drcn With Defective Teeth and
TonsiIo Have Proper
Care.

Miss Margaret Henke, Red Cross
public health nurse, south Lee coun-
ty, has just finished a summary of
| the first ten months of Red Cross
nursing service in the county, which
will interest all readers of The Gate
City and surprise many of them.
Since last December, when Miss
Henke began her work with the
physical examination of the county
school children, more than 1000 chill
dren have been thoroughly examined;
100 defects have been detected, and
almost 600 of these defects have been
successfully corrected. The under
nohrished children found count S5S
and the defects of teeth 1929. In
spite of the lack of dental clinics in
the county, many of the dental cases
have been taken care of through the
cooperation of parents and the In
FAINT Welfare league. The teachers
and parents have established hot
school lunches and one by one many
of the pale, undernourished children
have become robust and strong in
the last ten months.
! Seven cases of tuberculosis have
been discovered, which without care
would have quickly Slapped the lives
of the victims and spread the disease
/! to others. All of these people are
now being aided in their fight against.
i the disease and taught to keep from
/ spreading it.
! Last April, Miss Henke's report
says, the Visiting Nurse association
/ of Keokuk affiliated with the Red
! Cross for the purpose of making the
/ work of both more effective. These
two agencies, with the Lee County
| Medical society, held a tuberculosis
clinic and examined fourteen patients
in May. Three of these patients en-
tered the sanitaria, four have sleep
ing porches. two are in tents, and an
other has made application for sani-
tarial care.
Sixteen cripples have been brought
/ to Miss Henke's attention, eleven OF
whom have received treatment. Most
of these cases have been taken to the
Iowa City hospital. The Red Cross,
the Baby Welfare league and the
Visiting Nurse association have great
ly increased the county's facilities
for infant care also, three infant well
fare stations being now in operation.
Miss Henke, with Miss Sollars, the
Red Cross nurse who came to the
county in February, spent the sum
mer visiting babies. mothers and old
people of the county. Seven hundred
and seventy-nine home visits are re-
ported to have been made in ten
months. The nursing work of south
Lee county is regarded by the Cen
| trail division headquarters OF the
I American Red Cross as one OF its
most successful endeavors.

even mince pie fits snugly at times
while at others a glass of milk
raises hobs with the stomach
One good rule to follow is the
preventative measure OF taking one
or two Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
after meals. You thus avoid gassf-
ness, sour stomach, heartburn md
such distresses due to Indigestion or
dyspepsia. These tablets also help
to digest the food by giving the
stomach the alkaline effect to off
set acidity: they relieve the distress
when the mince pie or milk should
be more than match for your
digestive powers. Get so cent box
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at any
drug store and note how nicely they
seem to calm the stomach when il
feels all upset.
