Definite action on the employment
Of nurse to look after tuberculosis

ton in the schools Of the county, 1s
expected to be taken at the annua!
meeting of the Fort Madison chapter
Of the American Red Gross.
THE need of Il county nurse is
generally recognized, and the Fort
Madison chapter has been working
on the plan for some time. The EN-
ployment OF the nurse rests to
large extent on the success of the
membership campaign of the Red
Cross, now nearing close.
1.-THE duties Of the county nurse will
be to seek out and extend whatever
expert aid possible in the treatment
of tuberculosis patients and also to
further methods Of sanitation in the
ZONES Of the county through the

PRESIDENT OF
IRISH REPUBLIC
De Valera May Be on Way Home, as
His Whereabouts in United
States Is Not Very i

-. Definite.
UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.]
NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-Eamonn De
Valera, president of the Irish repub-
lic," intimated today that when he
got ready to return to Ireland he
would slip out of the United States
without a passport, just as he came
in.
Commenting on reports that Pre-
mier Lloyd-George might let him re-
turn to participate in peace negotia-
tons, De Valera said he did not ask
LloydGeorge's consent before leaving
Ireland and that ne wouldn't ask his
consent before going back.
This comment by De Valera was
given out at Irish headquarters, but
De Valera himself failed to appear, it
being explained he was i'll.
Attaches Of the headquarters gave
an air OF mystery to his whereabouts.
His suite at the Waldorf has been
given UP, and while the Sim Fein
office in Washington said he was
en- route to the Pacific coast. Irish
offices in the. west said he was in
New York. This gave rise 10 a re-.
port that he had already started back
to Ireland

Let it be said of the women Of
Nauvoo, at least, that, while they
may have unfortunately fallen into
the bad habits of some men, as yet
they haven't adopted the habit of
chewini: tobacco.
John Barleycorn, on reading of the
daily crimes now being commit ted in
the dry cities of the country, claims
he can easily establish an aibi, and
thinks he has been wholly indicated

Germany.
Harold Reimbold, of Nauvoo. has

He has returned to the states again
and is on his way east, visiting places
Of interest enToutc.
Nauvoo folks will be privileged to
attend an old-time masquerade ball
one evening this month.
With the coming OF severe weather
our mails will be uncertain, and

A good many years ago there were
but few display windows in the Maui
WOO stores. Today almost every store
in our business section is provided
with modern windows, in which may
be shown from time to time many
articles carried in stock. All these
windows are being used to their best
possible advantage, especially about
Christmas time. They have been the
means Of developing window dressing
Faculties in a number Of our local
people, and occasionally splendid eff
fccts of this arc shown in most at
tractive display Of goods. But these
have never been more distinctly
shown than just now, on the morning
Of the holiday season Of 1920. Nearly
every display window has some spe-
cially attractive feature in addition
to mirroring the large and varied
stock of holiday goods. Some of these
displays are more elaborate than
others, but each one has some attrac-
tive feature. One should have no
trouble in determining what to buy
for Christmas after consulting the
display windows in Nauyoo stores.
The holiday vacation season Of the
Nauvoo schools will begin on F.iday
Of next week and will continue until
Monday Of the new year for our
boarding cols. The vacation is
necessary that all pupils may have

which we call spring, is here

leap out Of bed and announce to
her lord and master with a per-

we've got to get move on for
we're going to clean house today"
The chicken park takes on un-
wonted activity and Rover with a
sneaking air starts off for days

look at the sky and wet finger
held up to the wind, says it looks
like this might be a good day for
blue-gills and assemblies his net,
his rusty bucket and his pole and

Making The Streets Safe
For The Automobile

Delaware Safety News publishes
in this months issue some timely
rules to make the streets safe for
automobiles.
Making the streets safe for au-
tomobiles is a noble work which
has received but little attention"
they say. "The following rules for
pedestrians have been suggested:
- 1. Pedestrians crossing streets
at night shall wear a white light
in front and red light in the rear.
2. Before turning to the right
or left they shall give three short
blasts on a horn at least three in
ches in diameter.
8. When an inexperienced au-
tomobile driver is made nervous
by pedestrian, he shall indicate
the same, and the pedestrian shall
hide behind a tree until the auto
mobile has passed.
A. Pedestrians shall not carry
in their pockets any sharp instru-
ment which may cut automobile
tires.
s. In lodging automobiles pc
destrians shall not run more than
seven miles an hour.
6. Pedestrians must register at
the beginning of each year and
pay a license fee of SIS for the
privilege of living. There shall be
no rebate if they do. not live the
entire year.
7. Each pedestrian before re-
ceiving his license to walk upon
the streets, must demonstrate be-
fore an examining board his skill
in lodging, leaping, crawling and
extricating himself from ma chin.

8. Pedestrians will be held re-
sponsible for all damages done tt

this war story: "The American
wounded were being brought in
from the Marne battle" she said,
"and a fussy American woman in
a khaki uniform and Sam Browne
belt knelt over a stretcher and
said, is this case an officer or only
a man." The brawny corporal
Newark post., 1920-04-28

who stood beside the stretcher
gave her grim laugh and said:
We'll, lady, he amt no officer, but
he's been hit twice in the innards,
both legs busted, he's got two
bullets in both arms, and we
dropped him three times without
his lettin' out squeak, so guess
we can call him a man."
