this product belonged that suffered
and you stole from him just the same
as from any other individual" The

example they were setting"

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after a
meal Sour risings, gassiness. a
heavy bloated feeling and such dis
tress due to indigestion or dyspepsia
are usually only temporary. And yet
they may lead to serious disorder.
The regular use of Stuarts Dyspep-
STA Tablets after meals reflects to a
high degree the intelligent selection
of preventative measures.
One cannot always select or in
spect the quality Of food to be eaten
nor its method or manner of prepare
ton. But it is possible to avoid the
acidity that is so often the result.
And it is a far better plan to eat
without worry over what may hap
pen than to starve for fear it will
happen. Many physicians recommend
these tablets for stomach distress
due to Indigestion or dyspepsia.
They are sold by all druggists
everywhere at so cents box.

What do we need Red Cross for
now, there is no war" is the query
that so often confronts solicitors for
the fourth annual roll call, that they
are getting rather tired of enumerat-
ing the hundred and one ways that
the Red Cross-your Red Cross is
helping humanity.
Take for instance the home service
section OF the Keokuk chapter.
Home service section during the
month of October rendered service to
ninety-six men, It is difficult to make
report of just what this meant to the
men because the policy of the office
is to treat all interviews as contiden-
tial. The home service secretary
told the reporter that she would out
line the work for one day this week.
which was in no way exceptional, ana
that might give some idea how the
Office was being used. Woman calls
with husbands discharge and wants
to know how he can obtain victory
medal Application is made out for
him and in conversation, secretary
finds that man has not received vic
tory button, and that the woman's
brother. who lives in the country, has
received neither of these things, so
application is also made for the broth
err Spanish war veteran calls for
transportation to where he has work
as he is stranded here. 8 AS it is not
within the province of the Red Cross
to assist him, he is turned over to an
agency. which furnishes him with
what he wants. Man comes in with
victory medal, which has wrong clasps
on it. This is returned with explain
atory letter. Some months ago the
Office had filed claim for this man and
been able to secure operation. He
was drawing compensation but had not
applied for compensation for his child
to which he was entitled. So certi-
fed copy of birth record obtained and
forwarded to the Bureau of War Risk
/ Insurance with letter.

Doctor Has Moved.

an Ohio town stating that one of their
discharged, disabled men had sent af-
fidavits here to a doctor, who had been
/ a major during the war and cared for
this man in order that the doctors
evidence might settle this mans case.
No answer had been received. Local
Office made investigation as the doctor
no longer lived in Keokuk, reported
this and how mail could be addressed
7 to reach him. Local Office received
letter from Washington in answer to
inquiry telling amount of back allot-
ment money due man. Man recover
ing from operation and needs money
badly now. This will be applied for
Immediately. Letter was written to
man who had filed claim for compen-
sation but had not sent in his witness
ses telling him to do so, so that his
claim could be forwarded. Discharg
es were returned to home service Of
fee by Des Moines recruiting Office
and safely returned to men. A man
who had been drawing total compen-
sation was cut to twenty-five per cent.
Unable to work, but is to be placed
in training by federal board, loaned
money until federal agent gets here
to place the man Man in training
has not received his checks; loaned
money and wired for prompt action in
his case Man with mental disorder,
result of shell shock in state institu-
ton, wrote to have him placed in gov
eminent hospital for such cases that
he might have the special care need
ed Make application for vocational
training for man who has tried his
former job and found work too heavy
on account Of handicap resulting
from service; also wrote giving his
change of address to various govern
ment departments handling his case.
Man who had filed claim received
award in no way commensurate with
his present disability, took up the case
to have award changed, and if posi-
bile to get sanatorium treatment which
he needs.
Some days more spectacular happe-
nings occur, but this shows not what
the Red Cross has done, but is doing
] at present.
Peace Time Program.
Peace time work of the Red Cross
involves many things. The peace
time program u Tic VI udo
always been to have preparations
made for the quick relied action in
time of disasters.
The Red Cross also aids in promot-
I ing public health measures.
The Red Cross must finish the work
| it started in Europe.
/ There is reconstruction work to be
carried on there in Russia in the CEN
trail empires and in France.
/ The only time all Red Cross mem
bers can have an actual share in work
day after day is when great quantities
of supplies are needed and many work
ers enrolled. But the Red Cross work
of supplying dressings, clothing, COM
forts, etc., was only one phase OF the
war work.
